We know that Rookie Derangement Syndrome is always an epidemic around this time of the year. However, not all rookies are given the same kind of treatment and some of them are still undervalued….

I have been looking at the difference in dynasty and redraft values in my series on the age premium, which has shown a clear trend of owners failing to prioritize winning championships vs. controlling relevant, but inferior assets. Let’s continue looking at this phenomenon from a macro perspective. That is to say, what can we learn by looking at age and position? Age is Not Just a Number I…...

Source: Jets’ Geno Smith has solid OTA practice after rough start | Jets Wire: “We had some tough conversations last year,” Jets wideout Brandon Marshall said of Smith. “But that’s what it’s about. We’re brothers. He also gets on me. I had a bad day (Tuesday), I wasn’t feeling good, and he walked up and just said ‘body language.’ “He just kept repeating himself, ‘body…...

Kamar Aiken is less exciting than UncleChaps reviewing a squatty potty. This is unquestioned. But even if he isn’t sexy, he’s still incredibly interesting simply because of what he represents….

There’s been quite a bit of chatter talking about the effect of Chip Kelly on the 49ers offense. From Torrey Smith to Deandre Smelter to Carlos Hyde to Blaine Gabbert, writers are lining up to take shots at this offense. I may need to rain on this parade a bit, but should the band keep playing anyway? The current RotoViz Staff projections for the 49ers…...

A few weeks ago, I called Will Tye “the potential breakout tight end nobody is talking about.” Sometimes as new information comes out you are forced to pull back the reins on things you previously were charging full speed ahead on. So it is of great regret today that I must take my foot off the gas pedal for Tye. Not So Fast ESPN Giants…...

Source: Redskins’ coaches happy with Matt Jones’ progress | CSN Mid-Atlantic: “You’re seeing a much more matured player,” offensive coordinator Sean McVay said of the 23-year-old Jones. “I’ve been extremely encouraged with him—his understanding of where he fits in protections, consistency in his tracks.” Head coach Jay Gruden also has been impressed. “We’re obviously happy with his progress,” said Gruden. “We feel good about where…...

Ameer Abdullah, who is reported to be Detroit’s lead running back going into the 2016 season, underwent an arthroscopic repair of a torn shoulder labrum this past January. He is expected to be ready for training camp. I would agree with that, and don’t see this issue as being a significant concern going forward. The labrum is the circular meniscus-like tissue that goes around the…...

In this post I’ll do some quick analysis to both show the functionality of our new Screener app, and also answer a commonly asked question in fantasy circles: is garbage time scoring reliable from year to year? First let me define how I intend to look at that question. I’m just going to call garbage time fantasy scoring any points scored while a team is…...

I like Doug Baldwin. I just don’t like his price for 2016. In this article I’ll explore the reasoning behind my skepticism of his current ADP. In MFL10s from 2013-2015, Baldwin essentially went undrafted. He was not selected often enough to register among the top-60 drafted wide receivers. As of the first week of June, Baldwin is being drafted as the WR26. Quite the jump for a…...

Now that the draft is over we can starting doing some early 2016 fantasy football projections. Today: the Cincinnati Bengals, including why A.J. Green looks like a top six WR.  First things first, using our staff projection machine I set some baseline team-wide assumptions: For average scoring margin, I went with the league-wide 75th percentile mark, as I believe the Bengals to be one of the better…...

If I had to make a list of the running backs in the mix to finish as the overall RB1 in 2017, it would include Le’Veon Bell, Jamaal Charles, David Johnson, Todd Gurley, Lamar Miller, Devonta Freeman, and Ezekiel Elliott. That’s about it, except for one name. It would also include Jerick McKinnon. But before we get into that … What about Adrian Peterson? Purple…...

In this post I’ll look at dynasty startup ADP data from our friends at the FFPC. If you aren’t familiar, FFPC recently launched some mid-stakes dynasty leagues where you can enter for $250 (along with a deposit for the following year in case you totally tank your team and bail on the league). FFPC runs fun contests with two flex spots and TE premium scoring so…...

Source: Transcript: Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher Post-OTA Interview – Turf Show Times “Tavon’s just getting better every year. He’s focused in on the offense, the changes in the offense. Once he gets comfortable in the offense, we’ll see a lot of big plays out of him.” “The reason we drafted him, number one, is we didn’t want to have to defend him…....
