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…...

The most famous RotoViz article on rookies and redraft was Coleman Kelly’s 2013 look at Rookie Derangement Syndrome. That piece focused on Alshon Jeffery versus DeAndre Hopkins. Jeffery went on to break out and win leagues for almost all of his owners. Hopkins had a very solid season as the No. 2 in Houston but wasn’t a fantasy force. Fast forward a season, and we’re…...

We see it frequently. Fantasy owners excessively target rookie wide receivers because they are disappointed about the production of last year’s rookies. Then it happens; the second year wide receiver improves all offseason and comes in ready to blow the top off. Here are the best examples in recent years: Player 1stYr FPs/G 2ndYr FPs/G Diff Larry Fitzgerald 2004 11.5 2005 18.99 7.49 Brandon Marshall 2006 4.19…...

Editor’s Note: Yes, medical students linger on our Forums and post detailed injury analyses. We liked this one, and decided to run it as an article. Before we start I highly suggest you read Dr. Budoff’s Arian Foster Injury Report where he covers a ton of information about Foster. The Injury Groin injury. Unfortunately, right off the bat the info is murky. Initial reports said he had…...

Every year there are players that for whatever reason seem to have people on opposite ends of the opinion spectrum. This year, Andre Ellington is a player generating fiery discourse, with both his detractors and supporters throwing out anything they can to garner support for their side in the great battle. When examining the weapons of their respective artillery, I find it very hard to sympathize with…...

This post is an update to something I did a few weeks ago. In that earlier post I equated auction values to ADP. That’s a much better way to look at current auction values considering the dearth of good resources we have on the auction format. The other thing that this list could be used for is as a guide to make preseason draft pick trades…....

I don’t like to make too many conclusions from NFL pre-season.[1]Which tells you that I will be drawing some kind of conclusion from a pre-season game. In general, player performance is difficult to judge. Usage is spread out, statistics lose meaning, and the things we see with our eyes generally deceive us. However, after watching Chris Ivory stay on the field during some passing downs, run…...

Roddy White From ESPN.com: Coach Dan Quinn acknowledged both rookie Justin Hardy and Falcons newcomer Nick Williams as players who could see more extensive work. Hardy, the team’s fourth-round draft pick out of East Carolina, is sure to be on the 53-man roster. Williams, formerly with the Washington Redskins, appeared to be a longshot until he started flashing throughout training camp and in the first…...

I recently appeared on RotoViz Radio: A Football Podcast to discuss the NFC South with Matthew Freedman and discuss how I see things shaking out this year down south. The fantastic apps here at RotoViz like the Best Ball ADP app and the cheat sheet calculator are powered by the projections of RV contributors. If you would like to hear the episode, here you go…....

All year, RotoViz has basically been chugging along with the consensus narrative that Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon are superlative fantasy prospects. They started as the second and third overall prospects, respectively, in the composite RotoViz rookie rankings, and then the hype articles (like this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this) started flowing in. Apparently no one fears the Dissenting Costanzan anymore. This isn’t RotoVizian…...

From ESPN: The yellow beanie has been a uniform staple for Quick for the first few weeks of training camp. It’s not quite a red “hands-off” jersey like quarterbacks wear but, like a traffic light, it offers a “proceed-with-caution” warning for all who approach him. Now, it appears Quick is poised to shed the beanie and return to an actual game on Saturday against the…...

In the wake of the Jordy Nelson injury, there are sure to be a few changes in Green Bay. For most, the conversation will center around Davante Adams, whose stock will certainly see a boost with Nelson out. However, I think this will also be a major plus for Randall Cobb. He may even crack the top tier of WRs. What Cobb Has Done Before we talk about what…...

Jordy Nelson The initial diagnosis on #Packers WR Jordy Nelson is a torn ACL, source said. Horrible news. Awaiting MRI results to confirm. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 23, 2015 Jordy Nelson exited Sundays preseason game early and reports are saying that he’s got a torn ACL, but the Packers are waiting to give an official word until they’ve returned to Green Bay. This sent…...

Early in the offseason, many analysts in the fantasy football community predicted Nick Toon would win the open competition in the Saints’ training camp for the third wide receiver position. Recent reports from New Orleans’ beat writers appear to be proving these initial predictions incorrect. The beneficiary of this recent development is a 23 year old undrafted wide receiver from Rutgers. That man’s name is Brandon Coleman and…...
