Welcome to the eighth version of the 2016 RotoViz Scouting Index. I’ve combined player rankings from a half-dozen scouting websites into a single score for each prospect. Let’s see if last week’s NFL combine moved the needle on any prospect evaluations…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member?

A lot of the novice DFS players have fallen off at this point in this season so it’s important to make sure you stay on top of your game. I’ve noticed recently that there’s still an advantage when it comes to late subs so be aware of players that are questionable and how you can move your lineup around if they are ruled out close…...

We’ve built an updated regression tree for wide receiver prospects – incorporating collegiate production, combine measurables and age – and figured out which branches and leaves are occupied by the 2016 class members. Next, it’s time to take a look back at recent draft classes to see if there are any prospects who profile for NFL success, but just might not have had the opportunity to…...

Things at Las Vegas were going along just fine. Then BAM! The Vegas version of “The Big One” happened when Matt Kenseth got loose and slid up the track. He had the car saved, but lost a ton of speed. That’s when Chase Elliott plowed into Kenseth from behind, setting off a chain reaction that collected Carl Edwards among other drivers. As a result, a daily fantasy NASCAR day that looked promising was…...

With the combine in the rear view, we can start to put together our rookie boards and create projections that allow us to maneuver into the right spot to get “our guy.” Jon Moore will have another official RotoViz mock soon, but this is my attempt to estimate rookie ADP for my own leagues….

Something unusual is going to happen in the NFL Draft this year. For the first time since 2005, multiple pairs of running back teammates are going to be selected in the same draft. Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake from Alabama, and Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams from Arkansas, are all likely to be chosen in the top 150 picks. For draft evaluators and dynasty owners alike, this…...

In best ball leagues, you want to maximize opportunity and variance. There is no bench in best ball, so every player you draft without a defined role is costing you valuable points until he gets on the field (IF he gets on the field). In addition, since there is no bench, you never lose any of the big weeks your players score. . . This inefficiency…...

For Tuesday, we have a small six game slate. Unfortunately, outside of the point guard position, there aren’t too many superstars on this slate. But don’t worry, we have you covered here at RotoViz. Before we dive into the plays, don’t forget to check out the NBA Splits App and NBA Daily Fantasy Finder App at RotoViz. Now on to the top plays of the day. Point Guards Kyle…...

In the 2015 NFL Draft, Marcus Mariota was the second overall pick. In the 2016 NFL Draft, it’s quite possible that Jared Goff will be the second overall pick. As fate should have it, these quarterbacks overlapped for two years in the Pac 12, which led to them playing 14 common opponents, or approximately one full season. While their styles of play are somewhat different, many of the…...

If you’ve been reading anything I’ve published over the past couple weeks,[1]Much appreciated, if so. you know that I’ve been using regression trees in an attempt to gain insight into what NFL combine drills matter for running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. Plus, we found the running backs and wide receivers who won the combine. My most recent post combined age, production and combine measurables…...

We’re now into the third week of MFL10 action and some actionable ADP data is now available on the Best Ball and MFL10 ADP App.  If you’re not exploring and exploiting the data from this app, you’re basically drafting while blindfolded….

In 2015 MyFantasyLeague.com best-ball leagues, the best quarterback picks[1]Defined as those whose MFL10 teams had the highest average finishes. were the ones who regularly put together QB1 weeks. Seven top-12 weeks was the important threshold for the 2015 season, and it was a necessary condition to make the top-10 quarterback list, based on team average finish. Working off of that finding, I plotted our current Best…...

Happy Monday! With only a month or so left in the season, some teams are pushing on the brakes, others are pushing on the gas, and some are checking out. It puts players on all teams in interesting spots, which makes DFS yet again unpredictable. However, I am here to try and predict who will perform well in an unpredictable game so you can win…...

In an event comparable to the crash of the Hindenburg (at least in his eyes), the Atlanta Falcons have released the iconic Roddy White, after a noticeable drop off in production. While White is convinced that his exit is due to his not being a good fit for Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, and not a diminishing skill set, given his age and recent stats,…...
