Fantasy football news featuring Aldon Smith, Joique Bell, Jamison Crowder, Jordan Taylor, and more. Aldon Smith Arrested again. And now Released. Stock up for Eli Harold in IDP rookie drafts. Aaron Lynch and Ahmad Brooks are probably the starting outside linebackers at this point, but Harold should be the main backup at a minimum. Tahir Whitehead Is playing ahead of second year LB Kyle Van Noy in Lions…...

A Michael Floyd injury shakes up wide receiver ADP, and perhaps DeMarco Murray is being overvalued. Michael Floyd, John Brown, and Larry Fitzgerald Michael Floyd had surgery to repair three fingers on his left hand. Coach Bruce Arians described the injury as “unique,” and media reports also vary as to the severity and timeframe for recovery. Early reports vary from three to six weeks. Five weeks…...

Davante Adams is a player we had high hopes for this summer at the ‘Viz. After being the WR5 in our post-draft rookie rankings last season, we were hopeful that Randall Cobb would leave the Packers in free agency, opening up opportunity for Adams as a sophomore. Unfortunately, that did not materialize. However, I still think Adams is an exceptional target in re-draft leagues this year. Here’s why…....

(This is Part 2 of a 2 Part Series: Check out Part 1 here.) Tight end is arguably fantasy football’s most interesting position. As James Todd recently pointed out, outside of an elite group of consistent producers it’s a position that sees a ton of turnover year to year. Because of this turnover, because it’s usually a start-one position, and because alternative options are often…...

The first overall pick in 2015 fantasy football drafts should be a wide receiver. But even if you disagree with me on that, someone has to be the first WR drafted. I think you can make a case for five different WRs to be the first WR off the board. Today, I make the case for Demaryius Thomas. The Knocks Against Thomas I mostly want…...

Editor’s note: I met Josh Klein during the Grantland Fantasy Island competition in 2012. My recollection of Josh from that contest is that each week he would try to sneak in variants of the joke “dries up like Michelle Pfeiffer’s box office draw.” Since the Fantasy Island competition Josh has gone on to write for BroJackson.com where as far as I can tell his writing has…...

In the aftermath of Arian Foster’s groin injury, everyone’s trying to figure out what it means for the rest of Texans. A lot of the focus is on the running back situation or DeAndre Hopkins. But I think someone else may be the main beneficiary of Foster’s injury: rookie wide receiver Jaelen Strong. Less Rushing, More Passing Last season the Houston Texans ran the ball on 52 percent of…...

Arian Foster tore his groin off the bone. Once you’re done cringing we’ve got some thinking on DeAndre Hopkins‘ fantasy value to do. Foster is expected to be out until week 10 at the earliest. Even then he might not be ready to go. RotoViz has been talking up Hopkins often this offseason. 14Team Mocker showed us why we couldn’t afford to miss out on Hopkins,…...

I recently wrote that too many players carry draft prices that beg dozens of questions. Built into those prices are assumptions we ought to question before drafting those players. To that end, I suggested three quarterbacks you shouldn’t draft in 2015. Now, I want to flip that idea on its head. Many late-round QBs are far underpriced because people have wrong ideas about their range of…...

Jonathan Stewart is one of those players that will always scare off fantasy owners. After being a first round draft pick in 2008, he has only managed to crack 1,000 yards once, and has dealt with some injuries along the way. However, I think 2015 marks a chance to finally get some value off of Stewart, and that he is being overlooked right now. DeAngelo Williams…...

Tight End is arguably fantasy football’s most turbulent position. As James Todd recently pointed out, outside of an elite group of consistent producers it’s a position that sees a ton of turnover year to year. Because of this turnover (and because alternative options are cheap), owners tend to take big swings at tight end. It’s why Zach Ertz is being drafted as TE6 in MFL10s despite…...

Michael Floyd Broke three fingers, and is expected to miss up to six weeks. That’s two weeks/finger, if you’re scoring at home. While it’s true that Floyd is probably more valuable than you think, and that he does have high end potential, owning him can be a headache. Here are some cheaper alternatives. Zac Stacy May not make the Jets’ roster, according to the Newark…...

Fantasy football is all about finding that next big value and there’s no position more volatile at the top end than running backs. Every year there’s an Arian Foster, C.J. Anderson, Justin Forsett, or Knowshon Moreno. Finding these values in fantasy football player is like getting your hands on the Holy Grail. I took my visualization skills (i.e., I just like making charts) and took a stab…...

There appears to be as little agreement on the first overall pick in 2015 as there ever has been. When I wrote my 24 Championship Building Blocks series, I noted that there exists an argument for Rob Gronkowski as not just a high first round pick, but perhaps the first overall selection. Today I would like to make that argument. Positional Dominance Any pro-Gronk argument has…...
