A few weeks shy of the combine, I’m comfortable saying there are about a dozen wide receiver prospects who could end up being drafted as a “top five receiver” in this class. Two of the prime candidates for that distinction are Rutgers’ Leonte Carroo and Ohio State’s Michael Thomas….

Dear Jaelen Strong Owners, I know this is the last thing you want to hear, and you’re the people least likely to believe it, but you need to trade Strong while you still can. This is a Cody Latimer situation all over again. Sell, sell, sell. More Optimism Than Production Much like I did with Latimer, I’m going to look at Strong’s draft position and production. To do so, I’ll…...

We’ve run a few interesting articles about salary cap implications for certain players, so I thought I’d throw another log on that fire. Here’s a quick look at 12 interesting situations. I got my information from Over the Cap, a site I highly recommend. Here’s how to read that table. Cap number represents how much the player costs the team vs. the 2016 cap. Cut…...

Recently I took a look at wide receivers and asked whether age is an important variable that should be considered separate from NFL experience. I’m starting to work toward some tentative answers to that question but since I already have a lot of the code set up I thought I could publish some running back articles concurrently with the WR analysis. One of the exercises…...

Last week, Charles Kleinheksel showed us tight end volatility projections, Ben Gretch gave us wide receivers, and Aaron Butler broke down the running backs. Jonathan Bales devised the volatility score methodology in the early RotoViz years. Those scores provide a quick picture of how risky — or reliable — a player’s fantasy output may be. The formula is: (High 2016 Projection – Low 2016 Projection)…...

Last week, Charles Kleinheksel wrote up the tight end volatility projections and Ben Gretch covered the wide receivers. The volatility score methodology was devised by Jonathan Bales. The formula to determine a player’s score is: (High Projection – Low Projection) / Median Projection… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member?

Recently I wrote about work I’m doing to try to get closer to having an accurate way to age-adjust players once they’re in the NFL. This work is very much ongoing, and not definitive by any measure. However, I still like to write about it even if it’s a work in progress because the act of writing about it helps me to clarify further questions…...

The NFL combine has become its own entity over the past decade, and yesterday the NFL announced who they have invited to attend this year’s event…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

In an earlier piece I used some salary cap information to find a cheap dynasty trade target at the wide receiver position. I thought that in the lull between the Super Bowl and the NFL combine it might be helpful to continue to go through salary cap data and see if it tells us anything else about what to expect going forward. Today I’m going…...

A quick analysis of some recent fantasy football news. Jordan Matthews When I read recently that Riley Cooper had been released, I thought perhaps it might be a good sign for Jordan Matthews (or any other Eagles wide receiver). But I don’t think it is. First of all, Cooper only received 41 targets last year, so it’s not like there’s a ton of opportunity that’s been…...

Recently Scott Smith wrote an excellent buy low article on Michael Floyd, and he finished No. 2 in our staff ranks among players in our Buy Low series. I like Floyd as a player,[1]Although the hype has arguably always outstripped the results. and, as an Arizona Cardinals fan, I certainly hope he breaks through to stardom in 2016. As a fantasy player, I’m selling. Floyd…...

Tonight’s the last night of NBA action before the All Star break, and a very limited one at that. But if you’re looking for one last taste of daily fantasy basketball to hold you over, we’ve got you covered. Between these write-ups, the On the Daily Podcast, and the Game Splits and Daily Fantasy Finder Apps, Rotoviz has everything you need to build better lineups…....

We have an excellent offensive rookie draft prospect tracking system here at RotoViz. I hope to give those that wish to follow IDP something similar, but in a different format…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...
