Dallas Running Backs This offseason has seen no shortage of coverage of the Cowboys’ backfield. For a while, it’s seemed that Joseph Randle would be the back to own. But now that Dallas has acquired Christine Michael, things are murky once again. Let’s take a look at the concerns presented by each running back, and plot a course of action. Joseph Randle Let’s do a little timeline,…...

Chris Johnson Chris Johnson didn’t look terrible on Thursday night, although he was running against the second and third-team defenses. Arizona’s signing of Johnson was never a deal breaker for me when it came to Andre Ellington because Ellington is one of the guys on my “do not draft” list. I was however, interested in David Johnson. Ellington’s ADP has stayed relatively constant since Chris Johnson…...

Lets just get this out of the way – Ezekiel Elliott is phenomenal. Widely viewed as the top running back prospect for the 2016 Draft, Elliott put together a season for the ages last year. The point of this article isnt to figure out whether or not he’s any good, but rather to examine the magnitude of his excellence and compare him to other players on…...

I think the Similarity Scores Apps are pretty amazing, and they tend to get overlooked around here, among all the other great tools and content. If you want to understand them better, I recommend you read this post by The Douche. But here’s the nutshell version: It’s not perfect. It doesn’t know everything. It probably just knows a lot more than you do. Disagree with…...

Fantasy football is a game of variable analysis. Every week, we are attempting to optimize our lineup depending on our various players’ match-ups in order to maximize point scoring potential. However, as point differential typically makes no difference in the outcome,[1]aka defeating our opponent by one point as opposed to 31 points is the same outcome should we also be evaluating our opponent’s lineup and its potential range…...

My QB strategy has been all over the board this year for a few reasons. First, while I think that you could look at the early QBs and find them to be values, I’m not that intrigued by them. Aaron Rodgers might struggle (at least for him) without Jordy Nelson. Peyton Manning is a year older, will be in a new and less predictable offense,…...

Let’s Get it Started – Mike Beers Countless articles on fantasy football strategy have been published this summer, and I would take the under on one percent of them being dedicated to auction drafts. At their core, standard drafts and auction drafts are both about the same thing: constructing a roster which puts you in the best position to win your league. However, executing on…...

Here’s a quick exercise using the Draft Optimizer App. This powerful tool lets you quickly plan draft strategies for any fantasy football format, like the standard Yahoo configuration used by many friends and family leagues. The App will generate the best targets for your draft slot. What’s more, you can pre-select or blacklist certain players that you either really want – or don’t want – on your…...

This off-season the RotoViz crew have generated (and are continually updating) projections for all 32 NFL teams using a souped up version of the Projection Machine. These projections are powering some great Apps like the Cheat Sheet Calculator, the Draft Optimizer and the Auction Dominator, and have been fodder for numerous articles. In this article I won’t be covering every player like I did on RotoViz Radio. Instead…...

As the preseason winds down and final fantasy drafts are in full swing, here are some interesting fantasy football news items. Quincy Enunwa Is running ahead of Jeremy Kerley in Jets’ camp. He could be the ultimate lottery ticket. In addition to being ahead of Kerley, Rotoworld suggests the loss of Jace Amaro could lead to more opportunity for Enunwa. I’m not sure about that, but it’s possible. Mock…...

The latest news from Dallas indicates a committee approach at running back. This shouldn’t be a huge surprise as the difficulty of replacing a workhorse back like Demarco Murray is understated. James Todd wrote this about Dallas OC Scott Linehan’s RB history last off season. “When the runners appear roughly similar in talent, he (Linehan) splits the workload up more evenly.” While the various pieces…...

College DFS is beginning to gain popularity, and this is helping the popularity of college football grow as a whole. Season long college leagues do exist, and they are usually hosted on Fantrax.[1]CBS used to run college fantasy league, but discontinued these leagues after the 2013 season. While I love my NFL fantasy leagues, my absolute favorite leagues are my college leagues. There’s so much more…...
