Here at the RotoViz lab, we’re always experimenting with new ways of combining disparate bits of information into something new and meaningful. Sometimes the results are more interesting than actionable, but still worth sharing. Here’s an attempt to project the NFL draft – and identify discrepancies in the values of incoming rookies – using data from Play the Draft and the Rookie Scouting Index. Here’s what…...

Welcome back everybody. As a resident of New York hopefully your week has been better then mine, but if not hopefully we can get you back on track tonight. Make sure you’re taking advantage of all the great tools at RotoViz, including the On the Daily Podcast and the Game Splits App. Lets get to tonight’s picks. Point Guard Chris Paul – $9,900 on FD,…...

One thing that comes up any time a player changes teams is trying to figure out whether the player was being held back by their previous team, or whether they might have been propped up by their previous team. There probably isn’t a really good way to know for sure the relative talent level of all of the inter-connected players on a field, but Kevin…...

I can’t believe I’m saying this in the year of our lord 2016, but Darren McFadden is a high-upside, low-cost dynasty buy. You should be trying to trade for him everywhere. Will the Cowboys Add Another Significant RB? I think the answer to this is no, for two reasons. The first is that they don’t need to. They have McFadden, who had over 1,400 yards from scrimmage…...

Kevin Cole has been pumping out some amazing regression tree analysis on a variety of topics especially his work on what makes a successful wide receiver prospect. Yesterday I gave you four under the radar WRs to consider. Today I look at the other end of the spectrum. Here are four highly ranked WRs to reconsider. I am including the regression tree below as a reference. This…...

The wide receiver position in the NFL is ridiculously stacked right now. We know this. But did you know that there is a receiver with numbers so good, at such a young age, that he is among the five greatest players to ever play the position in the history of the NFL?… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready...

In case you missed the news, Rueben Randle is now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles after signing a one year deal. The first thing that occurs to me, and the thing that makes me nervous trying to project the Eagles in 2016, is that their wide receiver depth chart is now a total mess. Jordan Matthews is probably the most accomplished player in the…...

We’re always looking for dynasty fantasy football sleepers. Here are three players whose acquisition cost is very low, but might have decent 2016 upside. Brandon LaFell Is reportedly close to a deal with the Bengals. Newsflash: Cincinnati has a whole bunch of vacated targets. Newsflash part II: LaFell was horribly inefficient last year (-0.21 per target). But other than his rookie year of 2010, LaFell…...

The “other” great rookie from that magical Redskins season of 2012, Alfred Morris, is staying in the NFC East. But he’ll be playing against Washington twice a year, after signing for the Dallas Cowboys. Could this move to Big D mean big things for the fantasy stock of Morris? Steady Decline? Statistically, Alfred Morris has seen his output decrease with each passing season. After bursting onto…...

The running back prospect Sweet 16 is fun for the whole family.

We’re getting close to the end of the season, but that doesn’t mean the NBA isn’t still constantly changing. Injuries are still occurring and lineups are still being rearranged as teams try to make that extra push into the playoffs. Competition in DFS is getting tighter as well, but I’m here to try and give you a leg up. Remember you can do your own…...

Kevin Cole has been pumping out some amazing regression tree analysis on a variety of topics. The one I was most interested in recently was his work on what makes a successful wide receiver prospect. Simply put, collegiate production is the only things that matters. Kevin then followed that up with four WRs that fit this template. But there are other WR prospects that deserve…...

Ezekiel Elliott is widely seen as the top running back in the 2016 rookie class, but Derrick Henry belongs in the 1.01 conversation himself. Who are the teams most likely to draft Henry? More importantly, what would these landing spots mean for his fantasy football outlook and that of the other RBs on the team? Chicago Bears, 11th Overall Pick Why it’s likely: The same reasons it was likely…...
