This piece was really inspired by Shawn Siegele’s piece projecting Sam Bradford to throw 50 touchdowns. After reading that article I immediately thought of Mike Evans as a guy who, just like Bradford, has a chance to really burn up fantasy leagues if a few things bounce his way. Evans was, and still is, my favorite prospect in the 2014 draft class. Admittedly, I was slightly…...

  Finding values in fantasy football player is like getting your hands on the Holy Grail. Every offseason there are literally thousands and thousands of articles written about who’s a good value and who’s a bad value — and I’m sure RotoViz is responsible for 35 percent of them. These are just facts. So what the hell, let me throw my hat in the ring. I’m a very…...

Sorry for being a degenerate, but while perusing NFL futures today, I couldn’t help but notice something strange. As many football fans know (especially DFS players) the Las Vegas betting market is a pretty efficient place for understanding how the smartest football minds value teams, players and likely outcomes. Piggybacking off that, I’m going to evaluate the 2015 rookie class through the eyes of oddsmakers…...

Contrary to the sports we analyze, there is no off-season for the RotoViz team. Your seasonal pass to RotoViz Premium provides you with nonstop content every week. But for those of you who needed some time off, you may have missed some great articles. In the interest of providing you with all your information you’ll need to dominate your league, below is a list of…...

“The best time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.” -J.P. Morgan Don’t let ADPs fool you, they actually still play football in St. Louis. For some reason, Jeff Fisher is still the head coach, despite only winning 34 games in his last 5 seasons. While offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was run out of town, Fisher was allowed to promote quarterbacks coach Frank…...

Fantasy football news, covering Oakland’s running backs, Seattle’s passing game, Pittsburgh’s wide receivers, and more. Trent Richardson Another day, another negative report. Asked about Trent Richardson’s chances of making #Raiders: 50%, I’m told. Besides Latavius Murray, competition with Roy Helu & Michael Dyer — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 2, 2015 And more positive Roy Helu news. Helu is technically Latavius Murray’s backup, but should also…...

Quick-hitting thoughts about Joseph Randle, Juwan Thompson, Marqise Lee, and more. Stephen Hill If he wasn’t done before, he probably is now, after an apparently severe knee injury. Juwan Thompson Is earning positive buzz in Broncos camp. That’s great. But with CJ Anderson having so much upside, and Montee Ball having a more expensive contract, it’s hard to have much hope for Thompson. He showed well in limited…...

I’d been planning on writing an article titled, “Is Terrelle Pryor Already the Browns Best Receiver?” pretty much since the day they signed him. It was meant to be half serious, half in jest. But now this: #Browns WR Terrelle Pryor said he's so familiar with OC John DeFilippo's playbook that younger WRs on team are asking him questions. — Nate Ulrich (@ByNateUlrich) July 30,…...

The No. 1 question about Zero RB is a simple one. Where do you find running backs? The NFL Draft. Rookies tend to be overvalued in fantasy, but inefficiencies in the draft process tend to balance that equation. Breakout RBs. I examined my process for finding breakout runners in Zero RB, Breakout Runners, and Having More Fun Drafting. In comparing my previous Zero RB breakout…...

In case you haven’t noticed we now have our Cheat Sheet app up on the site to help you with your drafts. It’s probably one of my favorite apps we’ve ever done because underlying the projections in the app is a monumental ranking process that the RotoViz writers have undertaken this summer. Thirteen separate RotoViz writers have projected the offenses for all 32 teams. We’ve always done…...

Daily fantasy football is my all time favorite among the daily fantasy sports. We’re a little over 40 days until NFL kickoff. DraftKings has answered our prayers and released their salaries for Week 1. Along with a tournament that leaves a crisp $2 million to first place and $1 million to the runner up. We’ve still got some time to go before kickoff and a…...

Breshad Perriman Ran with the ones today. So much for Kamar Aiken running with the ones, as he did during OTAs. We disparaged Aiken’s chances of making an impact earlier this offseason. Of course, we highlighted Darren Waller as a deep sleeper likely to overtake him. But ESPN recently projected Waller to miss the cut, and be left off the 53 man roster. Call me stubborn, but I’d still…...

During the 2013 and 2014 NFL seasons, I did separate weekly rundowns of the running back and wide receiver positions on a team-by-team basis. Respectively, these posts were called the Backfield Report and the Wideout Report. This year, I am consolidating the two columns into one document, The Position Report, which sounds like the name of an Inside Amy Schumer skit about a sex therapist…....

I’m going to do you a favor: If you don’t like to take risks, just stop reading now. Seriously, what I am going to propose to you in this piece is not for the faint of heart. You should draft Geno Smith. And not only that, in leagues where you don’t draft him, you should look to stream him as your starting QB. In real leagues…....

Dr. Jeffrey E. Budoff is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who wades through misleading coach-speak and vague team injury information to offer advice for your fantasy team. Roddy White, Atlanta’s 33 year old wide receiver, informed the media this week that he had his knee drained prior to June minicamp, and expects to need to have it drained again during season. He said he was told that his cartilage…...

The time is finally here. That’s right, today I unveil the top six players I am looking to build around this summer. I’ve already covered players 7-12, 13-18, and 19-24. Here are the best of the best. No. 6 Marcus Mariota One of the biggest projected quarterback values is Marcus Mariota. He is our projected QB17 and owns a QB23 price tag. But I think we are…...

Roddy White From Rotoworld.com: Roddy White had his knee drained prior to June minicamp and expects the knee to be drained again during the 2015 season. Knee drainings are generally routine, non-surgical procedures, but may be concerning for White coming off back-to-back injury-plagued seasons. White actually hinted doctors told him to have surgery, but he is going to play through the knee “irritation” instead. “It’s…...
