I love Derrick Henry. I’m going to just get that out of the way now. I advocated for him to be the first pick in rookie drafts right after the combine, and I still contend that he is the top running back in this draft class….

With pro days mostly finished and the draft about three weeks away, this is probably the final iteration of the RotoViz Scouting Index. Let’s take a look at the final scouting ranks. Quarterbacks Jared Goff has been the top quarterback all along. Carson Wentz has bullied his way up the rankings, while Paxton Lynch has fallen off a bit. The scouts also don’t see much difference between Dak Prescott, Christian…...

Trent Richardson reportedly has an unofficial agreement with the Baltimore Ravens and both Richardson himself and head coach John Harbaugh expect him to be a Raven. Could Richardson make a comeback? Is he worth a roster spot on your dynasty team? I think the answer to both questions is maybe. There are a handful of reasons I’m relatively bullish on Richardson. Relatively bullish in this case…...

It’s always a treat when I open my browser to the NBA schedule and see a nice, juicy 10-game slate to pick apart. After countless weeks of short Sunday slates it’s about time we got one, right? Not only that but we have THE RETURN OF BLAKE GRIFFIN!!! Given the massive slate, I’m going to give you a stud recommendation, a mid-tier value play, and…...

NASCAR heads to the shortest track on the schedule this weekend — the 0.526-mile paperclip-shaped track known as Martinsville Speedway for the STP 500. That 500 is a key number, because that’s the number of laps there are this week. As a result, it is of utmost importance to find the likely race dominators. Without getting them in your roster, you’ll be behind the eight-ball in the…...

Welcome to NBA DFS silly season where players shutdown for the remainder of the year with nonexistent injuries and “DNP – Rest” appears in the box score on a nightly basis. During this stretch run the rotations of non-playoffs teams get wonky. Have no fear — the increased volatility means chaos, and chaos means opportunity. Between these recommendations, the On the Daily Podcast, the NBA Game…...

Fantasy Douche already broached this subject in his case for Laquon Treadwell, but I thought it was worth diving into a little deeper. Age matters for prospects, especially wide receivers. With the recent news about “disappointing” pro days for both Treadwell and Pharoh Cooper, I think it is easy to forget that both will play their rookie season at age 21, and just how important that is. The…...

Earlier this week, we unveiled the 2016 opportunity scores for rookie wide receivers. Opportunity scores are a numbers-based formula for determining which teams are the best landing spots for rookies. In fantasy and real football, performance is largely a function of opportunity, whether created through talent, draft position or a lack of roster competition….

Between these write-ups, the On the Daily Podcast, and the Game Splits App we’ve got all the daily fantasy basketball tools you need to set better lineups. On to tonight’s picks!

Tight end (with a few exceptions) is usually the last position player considered by drafters when putting together a team for best ball leagues. And for the most part, that is a good strategy. Unless you are able to get a Rob Gronkowski or Jordan Reed at a discount, the TE spot will likely be one of the lower point scoring slots in your lineup (not…...

We’ve been doing some speculative rookie landing spot discussions around here lately, and contemplating what the implications of these dream scenarios would be for rookie dynasty drafts. Today I’m going to look at C.J. Prosise to the Colts. The Team Almost certain to take a running back in the draft, the Colts are perhaps the single best landing spot for a rookie runner. Frank Gore‘s workload was among the most valuable…...

A brief exploration of coaching and PPR scoring trends. I often hear people talk about the “coaching narrative.” How much does play calling matter for the top scoring players? I decided to find out if there is any correlation between play calling/coaching and the top fantasy players. There are some visible historical trends in the grids that follow. Below are the top 12 non-QB scoring PPR players…...
