On Saturday night, the Michigan State Spartans will play for the Big 10 championship and presumably a spot in the college football playoff. While quarterback Connor Cook has received most of the attention this year, I think receiver Aaron Burbridge has been the best player on offense. Continuing with my series of college football articles, let’s take a deep dive into Burbridge’s college career and…...

This is the twelfth of a weekly series examining the actual fantasy production of wide receivers compared to what they would have been expected to do based on the targets that they saw. Got it? We determine that second part using line of scrimmage data. For a more detailed explanation, here’s the first iteration of this article. Here are the main terms you need to know:…...

Welcome to the Running Back Opportunity Report. The goal of this series is to go beyond raw carries, targets and yardage stats to look at the true opportunity each running back had to score fantasy points each week, and what they did with it….

Happy Friday to everyone. It seems like everyone is still recovering from the holiday week, even NBA players! We have a rather small slate on tap for a Friday, just six games. This is almost an ideal number (I like seven to nine game slates), and I think you can feel safe playing both cash and GPPs this evening…. Membership Required You must be a...

The latter stages of the season are where streaming heroes are born. Memories of Tyler Thigpen and Tim Tebow taking down titles gets me fired up for postseason fantasy football. For most leagues, Week 13 marks either your last chance to make the playoffs, or a crucial playoff round in larger formats. Hopefully this column has helped you to get to where you are this year, and I’ll do…...

In our series of Opportunity Reports, RotoViz will examine the weekly production of position groups through the lens of the Fantasy Efficiency App. A primer on how to use this app can be found in the first report. We’re examining opportunity and efficiency using historical line of scrimmage data to establish the expected fantasy point value of attempts (and comparing actual fantasy points to that…...

I’m going to do something a little bit differently this week.  Week 12 had some exciting moments, including one of the most thrilling (and controversial) Monday Night games in recent memory.  That said, at this point in the season, your leagues are beginning to lock down trade windows and most fantasy owners have come to terms with the 2015 season.  Instead of telling you to “sell high…...

Who would have thought in Week 12, Stevie Johnson would outscore DeAndre Hopkins and Julio Jones combined? I sure didn’t. While I am still ahead just over $2,000 on the year, my three week losing streak continues. Week 11 I was bit by the Devonata Freeman injury bug and after a very hot first quarter, I lost Heath Miller. I missed cashing double-ups by 0.64 points… One more reception or Miller not exiting…...

I hope you all have had a good start to the season. I’ve personally cooled off since the start of the season, which makes me regret not playing more back then. The NBA is such a difficult sport to predict. Players are very streaky and can get hot or cold instantly. It’s important to trust the process in times where your lineups have struggled. Understand…...

Week 12 brought a ton of surprises. We had bottom-tier passing offenses scoring over 35 points, the Jaguars secondary resurrecting a passing offense left for dead, and a Monday night football ending that is sadly representative of the Cleveland Browns. However, were talking fantasy today and I’m hear to break down some surprise fantasy performances we saw last week. Vance McDonald – Trend Vance McDonald was not a name…...

During Sunday’s win against the 49ers, the Arizona Cardinals top two running backs went down with injuries. Starter Chris Johnson was placed on IR designated to return, and the soonest he can return is January 26th. Oft-injured backup Andre Ellington suffered a turf toe injury, leaving his status for Sunday’s game uncertain. That leaves rookie David Johnson as the primary back in one of the NFL’s…...

Going into Week 12, the Arizona backfield boasted a stable of running backs. Coming out the back end of Week 12, not so much. Their starter, Chris Johnson, fractured his tibia. I haven’t found any reports of where in the tibia the fracture is, its extent or severity. If it was a displaced fracture (meaning that the fragments of bone moved apart from each other)…...
