Our dear leader has already written a couple posts on the influence of age on early NFL careers for wide receivers, including a linear regression model for projecting second-year fantasy points….

Hopefully you enjoyed the time off from daily fantasy basketball, but its time to get back to business. Also, make sure you check out Nick Tasso’s excellent work from earlier this week looking at stacking and the benefits of overtime for large slates and the top 100 fantasy performances from the first half of the season….

Three of the top six wide receiver prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft are from the Big 12, which means that we have a massive sample size to compare the careers of Sterling Shepard, Corey Coleman and Josh Doctson against common foes. In fact, all three round robin matchups feature at least 18 shared opponents. Today, we’re going to dive into the performances of Coleman…...

After the invitee list for the 2016 NFL combine was announced last week, I spent some time updating my wide receiver database. One thing I am paying more attention to this year is contributions in the return game, especially after last year’s realization that there is hidden value in special teams stats. As it turns out, Houston wide receiver Demarcus Ayers is one of this class’…...

It’s fairly easy to find free agents — like Matt Forte, Doug Martin, and Lamar Miller — and assess the likely effects on them and their former teammates if they sign elsewhere…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

After five invitations to the NFL Combine went out to FCS running backs last year it’s disappointing to see that Marshaun Coprich is the lone representative of the FCS in 2016. In fact, Coprich is one of only four non-Power 5 running backs that received NFL Combine invitations. FELONY ARREST This time last year Marshaun Coprich was a little less than two months away from selling marijuana…...

I’m not Matthew Freedman but I hope you will still enjoy this running back companion piece to the almost too timely updates from the RotoViz Scouting Index scouting index. While I’m a different writer the intent will be the same – excluding references to any running back’s junk-in-the-trunk.  This article will respond to the February 10th RSI update which was written prior to combine invitations being…...

Zero RB is a dominant redraft league draft strategy. But it’s also more than that. Its core goal of creating a dominant team by embracing antifragility at running back doesn’t have to stop after the draft, and it doesn’t just apply to redraft formats. You can also apply it to dynasty formats and, right now, before free agency and the draft is the perfect time…....

Full disclosure here: I’m a Devonta Freeman hater. I never liked him as a prospect, and I thought heading into 2015 that the lead RB would be my beloved Tevin Coleman. But after being proven right (Coleman opened as the lead runner), I was proven wrong. Freeman went off for over 1,600 total yards and 14 TDs in his sophomore season, and was the overall RB1, after Coleman…...

When I originally started researching this piece, it was a different kind of article altogether. Even though Devonta Freeman was my No. 2 Zero RB candidate a season ago, I’m a big Tevin Coleman fan. Coleman was the most explosive player in college football in 2014, a year that included fireworks from  Melvin Gordon and featured transcendent prospect Todd Gurley. Coleman was also better than…...

Before 2016 MFL10s begin, I thought I’d take a look back at the players that were crucial to winning My Fantasy League MFL10s in 2015. If you’re unfamiliar with the format, you’ll find many of the lessons applicable to regular redraft leagues as well….

A recent report from Tony Pauline indicated that Laquon Treadwell‘s camp would be happy if ran the forty-yard dash in the 4.5 range, with the possibility that he’s slower than that. Considering Treadwell recently was selected as the number one overall pick in our rookie mock draft, this report made me cringe. As you may remember, I’ve been skeptical of Treadwell before, so this is just…...

This item from Rotoworld is interesting because it places decent odds on the Colts keeping Coby Fleener and getting rid of Dwayne Allen. The general thinking among Colts beat writers is that Fleener is more likely to be re-signed than Dwayne Allen, who’s also a free agent. Fleener certainly presents more mismatches in the passing game, but Allen’s superior blocking, toughness, and hands make him…...

About two weeks ago, I came across the following tweet. 14 of 16 NBA FanDuel optimal lineups from 11+ game slates this year have featured at least 1 pair of teammates. 8 have had at least 2 pairs. — Brandon Gdula (@gdula13) February 3, 2016 At the start of this season, I didn’t think stacking was the optimal way to attack NBA GPP’s. Sure, it’s an…...

The ever changing landscape of the NFL saw seven teams crown new head coaches following the end of the regular season. With all seven from offensive backgrounds, there will no doubt be a lot of changes on each of these teams. With this in mind, I take a look at the new coaches, and offer some thoughts on players who should significantly benefit. Next up: the…...

Earlier today I got a trade offer for Sammy Watkins and even though it was a very strong offer, I rejected it. I rejected that offer because my thought on Watkins is that his value should really go higher before I sell….
