The RotoViz staff has been making their cases for dark horse wide receivers who could lead the NFL in targets.  I am betting on Brandon Marshall, and I think you should join me on the bandwagon. The average NFL target leader since 2000 has seen 182 targets per season. I believe there are several scenarios in which Marshall can clear this number. Those Who Don’t Learn…...

The Fantasy Efficiency App is one of my favorite apps here at Rotoviz. The app does a really great job of showing which players might be doing more with less, as well as which player’s value may be propped up by the great opportunity they’re seeing….

RotoViz has a great new Screener App, that helps you do some sophisticated analysis and regression work in just a few clicks. Here’s an exercise I did, using the Screener to create a running back projection model, which I then compared to our composite staff projections. There are some interesting takeaways. First, here’s how I set up the model. I’m looking only at RBs, and…...

Jason Lewis recently wrote a series arguing that dynasty owners – specifically startup drafters – are overvaluing youth (Part 1; Part 2; Part 3). I’m not so sure…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

As you all probably know by now, I’ve been pushing Robust RB really hard this summer. It is currently my favorite approach to drafts, and I’m not sure if I will be talked off of it this year. On a recent episode of RotoViz Radio, I stated that the best way to gain equity on your opponents is through committing to the RB position. I wanted to…...

“The Zero RB strategy makes a lot of sense, but I don’t think I can commit to it in all my drafts.” It’s a common refrain we hear around here. You think the logic makes sense, but also think a hedge of some kind is in order before fully committing….

Source: Rookie Progress Report: Paul Perkins: [O]ffensive coordinator Mike Sullivan liked the versatility that Perkins brought to rookie minicamp in early May. His ability to play all three downs will also help protect Eli Manning on the money downs. “This is a guy who was a leader on his team, very bright,” Sullivan said. ”He is a three-down back possibility and here is someone that…...

In the course of compiling seasonal projections for Rotoviz, it was possible to identify a number of players on whom the opinions of those who contribute to this site, and those of the general fantasy playing public, somewhat differ. One such player is Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin. After missing the entire 2015 season after tearing his ACL during training camp, Benjamin is back…...

Source: Pre-Camp Reads: Looking at WR Chris Conley Conley spent the beginning of this past offseason working in Kansas City with veteran receiver Jeremy Maclin and third-year receiver Albert Wilson. “I think without question Mac’s (Jeremy Maclin’s) influence has rubbed off on that entire room on two fronts,” quarterback Alex Smith said before offseason workouts broke. “I think one, the attention to detail, how much…...

The 2015 running back debacle is greatly impacting this year’s ADP. In these early summer MFL10s, wide receiver ADP has now surpassed RBs, creating value and opportunity to build a Robust RB lineup. Wide receivers are flying off the board with the top 36 going at times a full round ahead of where we’ve seen in recent history. Do tight ends offer an exploitable opportunity? First,…...

We’re continuing to add and update our seasonal projections, and we’re taking the time to write up some of the teams. Today I’ll take a look at the Oakland Raiders 2016 fantasy projections. Team Settings I used Vegas lines to infer the average point margin per play (-2), and then used last year’s rates to inform pass and pace tendency. In both cases I made…...
