Tonight marks the first night race on NASCAR’s schedule – the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. TMS is a 1.5-mile quad-oval layout similar to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. Of the two, Texas is more similar to Atlanta because of the high tire wear cars should experience due to an old, abrasive surface. However, the night racing component does make it similar…...

The composite RotoViz pre-draft rookie rankings are coming soon, and California’s Bryce Treggs will be ranked 18th among wide receivers by yours truly. Who is Bryce Treggs, you may ask?[1]And I rhetorically ask. He is a deep threat WR sleeper who has piqued my interest.  Let’s get the bad out of the way first: Treggs wasn’t invited to the combine, which isn’t a good sign. Eighty-nine percent of…...

Aaron Butler wrote a good piece at the start of the offseason where he argued that Donte Moncrief was the buy low of the 2016 dynasty season. However, Shawn Siegele wrote a piece later in which he argued that most of the IND fantasy assets are overvalued. Shawn made some good points related to Moncrief in that piece although it also preceded some important free…...

We’re down to just six remaining days of regular season basketball, and things continue to get crazier every day. There are only a few teams with the motivation to actually continue to win games, and as a result predicting who’s going to be in the lineup each night becomes harder and harder. As always, make sure you’re taking advantage of all the tools we’ve got…...

Over the next few weeks at RotoViz, we’ll be diving a little deeper into the apps on the site. You may already find these tools interesting and useful, but the aim of this series is to draw a clear line between the information you can glean from them and being a better fantasy footballer. In other words, how you can make the apps work for…...

The NFL combine is in our rearview mirror and the draft is less than a month away. To give you the best picture of how to value rookie for fantasy purposes, I wrangled up some of the sharpest minds in the industry and conducted a 2016 dynasty rookie mock draft. Links to their Twitter handles are included below, so be sure to praise or heckle their…...

Here’s an NFL draft projection that the scouts and the public both agree on: Derrick Henry to the New York Giants. That could shake up dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts. Play the Draft has Henry projected at pick 40 overall, as does the RotoViz Scouting Index. So does a second round running back really affect rookie drafts that much? Some of that depends on the landing…...

What a wild ride NBA DFS has been since the All-Star break. With all of the craziness going on, I’ve been pulling back the reigns on my cash game play, looking to ride this wave of variance to a GPP win. You will see this approach reflected in my picks, with a small, five-game slate on tap tonight…. Membership Required You must be a member to...

There’s only so much shaking up that the top wide receiver in rookie dynasty football drafts can do. But Laquon Treadwell landing with the Atlanta Falcons would definitely register on the ADP richter scale. The most appealing part of speculating Treadwell to the Falcons is that it’s definitely possible. Play the Draft is currently projecting Treadwell at 15.6, and the Falcons draft at pick 17…....

With the publication of the likely final edition of the RotoViz Scouting Index, I thought I’d share my final thoughts on the 2016 quarterback class. Specifically, should you draft rookie QBs like Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, and Paxton Lynch? And how do they compare to the 2017 QB class? First, here are the results of the most recent Index: Shout out to our editor Charles Kleinheksel, who has done…...

It seems simple to say that what team a player is on matters for fantasy purposes. For example, when targeting running backs, you should generally follow teams with a winning record and teams that score a lot. And specifically for PPR, you should follow running backs that catch passes…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log...

The running back prospect Sweet 16 is fun for the whole family. It should also give you an idea of what the RotoViz staff thinks about a variety of running back prospects, and the methodology some of our writers use when selecting them. Today we have the championship round between Ezekiel Elliott and C.J. Prosise. (1) Ezekiel Elliott vs (10) C.J. Prosise It has been an interesting…...

I tend to write off players that don’t garner an invite to the NFL combine. There are exceptions, like Southern Miss’ Mike Thomas. Another player who appears to be an exception to this is BYU receiver Mitch Mathews. Not only does he have solid production, but he is one of the best athletes at the position in this class. Mathews is also a physical specimen…...
