Zach Ertz From CSNPhilly.com: Kelly kept four tight ends last year but only needs three. Look for Ertz to make a sizable jump in snaps, and for Burton, an excellent special-teamer, to be groomed into a future No. 2 behind Ertz….

There are several running back competition and committee situations going into the 2015 NFL season. One of the less discussed instances is the situation in Oakland. With a new head coach in Jack Del Rio and a new offensive coordinator in Bill Musgrave, the pair are looking to significantly improve upon the team’s basement level rushing rank of #32 last season. Leading the way thus far are…...

Due to the presence of Isaiah Crowell, Terrance West, and Duke Johnson, the Browns look like an interesting fantasy backfield if you can pick the right player. In 2014 West led the backs in yards from scrimmage (737 to 694), but Crowell was the more efficient player and seemed to be coming on down the stretch before his Week 17 benching. In fact, Crowell was…...

Last off season I wrote a series on Positional Rankings. The series reviewed the top scoring PPR finishes going back to 2000.  The original intention was to find patterns that could assist in assessing dynasty assets. I wanted a simpler way to finding building blocks that didn’t involve projecting stats for several years. Don’t write this off as strictly a dynasty article though. If you…...

Just a quick post to offer some really solid reasons that you should move up the Colts on your list of streaming and best ball defenses. The Colts weren’t very good on defense last year but they were better than I thought they were going to be. But because of the combination of their schedule and the offense’s ability to get teams in negative game…...

Last season ended p0orly for Peyton Manning, culminating in a blowout playoff loss to the Colts. It may have been even worse for fantasy owners. They started Manning every week on their way to the playoffs, and once he got there Manning was an albatross on their team. I couldn’t be happier about that. Last season Manning was consistently being drafted in the 1st or 2nd…...

It’s time. Joseph Randle is being drafted too high, and somebody has to say something about it. I’ve read all the stories, I’ve heard all the arguments for him to be a great success this year, but as RB27 off the board in recent MFL10’s and RB21 on Fantasy Football Calculator, people are paying too high a price. It’s time to convince you to stay away…...

In dynasty leagues I am always looking for cheap assets that could one day either produce for my team or could help net me a nice return on a trade. Last year if you were stashing guys like Charles Johnson, Dan Herron or CJ Anderson this could have been you. Today I want to present to you my latest stash target on the Green Bay…...

Age plays an immense factor in dynasty value. Perhaps too much of a factor, causing owners to make ill-advised moves out of fear of holding a player too long and not being able to recoup any value due to declining production. But there is always a grey area when the perception of a player’s value varies wildly and fantasy owners are forced to walk a…...

What if I told you that there was a running back out there who was a super-efficient receiver last season, saw a tremendous decline in price, and should still have a big role this season? Would you be interested in drafting that RB? Here are four reasons to draft Theo Riddick. Riddick’s Receiving Efficiency If you are looking to draft Riddick at all this season, the…...

Simply knowing if the numbers are on your side in terms of opportunity can help identify under the radar rookies to target in IDP drafts. To get these numbers, the RotoViz IDP department has taken the total of the remaining plays available for each team and at each position following free agency to give us a numerical view of where opportunity lies. There are potential…...

After reading James Todd‘s 6 WR we like more than you, I wanted to look and see which WR you like more than us. Here are a few that caught my eye along with cheaper alternatives that we expect to outperform their more expensive counterparts. 1. Kelvin Benjamin: 3rd Round, 207 Projected Points Benjamin seems to be a pretty polarizing player this year. Justin Winn…...

Last year, there was a pretty strong consensus that Jamaal Charles or LeSean McCoy should be the first overall pick. There were people who championed Adrian Peterson or wide receivers like Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas instead, but they were in the minority. This year, it’s not so clear. Le’Veon Bell would have been the consensus first overall pick, but then he went and got himself suspended for three games. There’s one conclusion I’ve come…...

We began with the Zero RB candidates ranked 11 to 15. If you’re familiar with the methodology, skip the intro. At this point many fantasy players are familiar with Zero RB, but avoiding those early round land mines is meaningless without a method for otherwise filling the position. In last April’s Zero RB, Breakout Stars, and Having More Fun Drafting, I explained how to use an evidence-based approach…...

Todd Gurley has been called the greatest running back prospect since Adrian Peterson, the RotoViz staff had Gurley significantly higher than other rookie RBs in the post-draft rankings, and he was being drafted in early off-season MFL10s in the late-third round before he went the the St Louis Rams at number 10 overall. … Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership...

 Todd Gurley From ESPN.com: “I’m coming up on seven months and a couple weeks,” Gurley said. “I’m just going to keep progressing. I’ll be here in July. I hope so for training camp, I hope I at least get to go do some individual stuff. So that’s the next goal right there.”… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready...

I recently said on Twitter that Marcus Mariota has high-end QB1 upside in 2015, and that you shouldn’t let anyone tell you otherwise.[1]As you’ll see, I didn’t mean that last part literally. Fellow RotoViz writer Heith Krueger responded to say that he disagreed and that we should do a piece explaining our varying views….
