Week 2 Recap Week 2 was an interesting week to play daily fantasy football, to say the least. The Saints forgot how to play, Drew Brees was allegedly hurt during that game, the Eagles were a giant a mess overall, but Jordan Matthews saved his fantasy day on the last few drives for Philly, and DeMarco Murray had two rushing yards on 13 attempts and the Eagles had…...

This weekly article was created to serve as a case study for those of you who would like to play in a high stakes league but don’t want to make the jump from a $50 to $1,500 buy-in. I joined a $250 Fantasy Football Player’s Championship satellite league in order to get a feel for the type of competition that you will see as one…...

This past football Sunday is one that truly tests your talent and team evaluation skills as a fantasy owner. Week 2 was headlined by a Browns receiver in the top 5, a veteran’s fantasy value re-emergence, and a second year star on the rise. Should we expect these surprise performances to become the new norm, or is it simply a blip on the radar? Travis Benjamin –…...

Ben did a great job explaining how these reports work last week so if you’re new you can check it out here. A few Week 2 observations: Carson Palmer torched Chicago this week to come in as the weeks most efficient performer with 17.88 paFPOE on just 23 attempts. Adding to a strong Week 1 performance, Palmer easily passed Marcus Mariota as the leagues most efficient passer. His 55…...

Quincy Enunwa – Eric Decker is day to day with a knee sprain. It’s tough to know how long he’ll be out, but Chris Owusu also has a leg injury per reports on Twitter. We liked Enunwa coming out and are glad to see him working his way into the offense. If you use a flier on Enunwa and then Decker’s knee situation ends up…...

Week 2 of my FanDuel odyssey went a lot better than Week 1. That is to say, I didn’t lose most of what I played. Just how good was it? Let’s take a look. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $912.40 I can’t really complain about the results this week. Breaking even feels just as good as winning after losing most of what I put into…...

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 last week’s column. We’re examining opportunity and efficiency using historical line of scrimmage data to establish the expected fantasy point value of targets (and comparing actual fantasy points to that expected…...

Fantasy football players can point to numerous things that impacted the performance of their teams. It could be a start or sit decision. A sleeper breaking out or a stud not performing. Last week my team survived a close match up against the second highest scoring team in the league. This entry will share with you how I approached the week 2 waiver wire in my Fantasy…...

If you’re just starting to take daily fantasy sports  (DFS) seriously (like me), you’ve probably read a few articles from the ‘pros,’ either here at RotoViz or at other sites. One common narrative that you’ll find in all those articles: There are highs, and there are lows. Being a good DFS-player requires being able to withstand them….

Week 2 was a disaster. Not only did many of my Week 1 reactions seem to be overreactions[1]They weren’t!, but several key players found themselves subject to injuries of varying seriousness. However, there is also a silver lining: Against this backdrop of blood and guts, multiple rookie running backs have made significant strides in their respective backfields. In this edition of Dynasty Impact, I’ll assess…...

Every week there is going to be something that happens in the NFL that causes you to re-evaluate your line of thinking for fantasy. Is the random backup running back that vultures two touchdowns actually viable? Why did the slot receiver get 12 targets this week? And my personal favorite: Is team x actually as good or bad as they looked on Sunday? All of…...

Here are the players I am targeting on the waiver wire after Week 2. If you’re in a deeper league, consider these trade targets instead of free agent acquisitions. Over the course of the season, @14TeamMocker or I will provide our reactions every Monday morning to what happened in the NFL that week. One of us might show up in the other’s article to tell…...

Fantasy Football news and notes from week 2, featuring Rishard Matthews, Giovani Bernard, Amari Cooper, and more. Rishard Matthews For the second straight game, Matthews outplayed Kenny Stills. Matthews is up to 10 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown vs. just three for 20 for Stills. Presumably Miami has heard “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and will continue rolling with Matthews. I’m looking to…...

Welcome to The Position Report, the weekly column that gives you “more variety than you’re used to.” I’m not really satisfied with that joke, but I have to use it because my wife said, “I have a joke for your Position Report,” and then she said that tagline, followed by, “You’re going to use that, right?” This is me using what my wife gives me…....

The 2015 NFL season officially kicked off on Thursday September 10th, 2015 in a prime time match up between the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The journey for fantasy football owners was about to begin again. Managing a redraft team is like stepping on an escalator. The NFL season doesn’t stop. There are lineup decisions that have to be made whether you want…...
