Allen Robinson’s QB Upgrade Comes With A Hefty Price Tag: 3 Cheaper Ways To Buy the Veteran WR Profile
Michael Hitchcock
July 25, 2022
Just before the NFL Draft, I wrote about Allen Robinson’s quarterback upgrade and what it meant for his 2022 outlook. At that time, Robinson was going in late Round 6 or early Round 7. At that cost I was not really drafting him, which was a mistake on my part because, looking back, it was obvious his cost was going to rise. Robinson is now…...
Why Rondale Moore Will Emerge as a Star in 2022
Conor O’Driscoll
July 25, 2022
Second-year wide receivers have long been one of the cornerstones of winning in fantasy football. However, recent ADPs have made it more challenging to draft these breakouts, particularly on Underdog. This means that we need to pay particular attention when these players carry discounts. Rondale Moore goes at the end of the 10th round on Underdog and the 12th on FFPC. That he plays with Kyler Murray…...
Don’t Give Up on These Exciting Receivers: 2 Teams with Sneaky Quarterback Upgrades
Corbin Young
July 22, 2022
The new season brings with it several quarterback changes: Pittsburgh, Carolina, Denver, Washington, and more. For some of these receivers, it was an upgrade. For many, it looks like a downgrade. A few situations are ambiguous, particularly weaker offenses with receivers who have been productive in the past. With their ADPs dropping, could they present low-risk, high-reward options we want to chase? Today we’ll take…...

Shawn Siegele
July 21, 2022
Shawn Siegele looks at six fundamental elements for maintaining the flexibility in startups that will let you build decade-long dynasties. As we hit training camp, new dynasty leagues will be sprouting up all over the place. I just had the privilege of drafting new RV TriFlex leagues with Patrick Kerrane and Matt Jones. From draft slot to draft style to trade culture, the two startups…...
Is Late-Round QB Dead? Using the RotoViz Tools to Win the Quarterback Position
Conor O’Driscoll
July 19, 2022
The quarterback position has seen some of the biggest strategic shifts. QBs score easily the most points, so in earlier years, the top quarterbacks went incredibly early. In 2015, two quarterbacks were being drafted earlier than Josh Allen’s current ADP. 2015 QB ADPs, Fanball Yet this ADP was woefully inefficient. Cam Newton entering his fifth season at the peak of his powers should not have…...
The Next James Conner? 5 Veteran Running Backs With Gaudy Peripherals and the Potential to Smash ADP
Shawn Siegele
July 19, 2022
Shawn Siegele breaks down the key metrics that help you find the next group of league-shattering running backs. When we debuted the Advanced Stats Explorer last summer, I wanted to share some of the cool information, so I wrote 5 Veteran RBs Who Were Much Better Than Advertised in 2020. Three of those backs ended up on the Zero RB Candidates list, and each member…...
Will Rashaad Penny Earn a Bell Cow Role? Actionable Takeaways From Early July News
Madison Parkhill
July 15, 2022
Early July is usually a dead period for NFL news, as most free agents have signed, and training camp hasn’t started yet. But a few pieces of recent news have fantasy implications. Darrell Henderson and Kyren Williams Per The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrique (one of the best beat reporters in the league): My sense is that the Rams’ hope for Williams is that he eventually takes…...
Can the Range of Outcomes Tool Find 3 Ways to Save Big on Ezekiel Elliott?
Shawn Siegele
July 15, 2022
Shawn Siegele begins the 2022 Discount Series. Is there an easy way to draft Ezekiel Elliott’s upside without having to spring for his increasing price? Over the past several years, the Discount Series has led us to drafting league-winning players like Diontae Johnson, D’Andre Swift, Chris Godwin, and Devin Singletary. Locating those mispriced players goes a long way to winning leagues and taking down tournaments,…...
Defense Can Still Win Championships: Supercharge Your Best Ball Teams with the D/ST Window
Ross Durham
July 14, 2022
Ross Durham examines D/ST draft strategy in FFPC best ball leagues and finds the optimal window for drafting defensive units. Like me, you probably haven’t been paying enough attention to the defense/special teams position in fantasy football. With the growing popularity of defense-less (and kicker-less) formats in best ball and classic leagues, a lot of us just don’t devote many brain bytes to a position…...
Is Michael Carter Still Draftable? Sorting Through 3 More Small-Gap Backfields
Corbin Young
July 12, 2022
Last time, we parsed through the three small-gap backfields. We know from Jack Miller’s research on the win and hit rates for big or small-gap backs, as well as previous work by Charlie Kleinheksel, that the ADP gap between a team’s RB1 and their RB2 has significant implications for how we should expect them to perform. In all these articles, B1 and B2 running backs refer to…...
Scott Fish Bowl: RotoViz’s Guide To #SFB12 Scoring And Strategy
Hasan Rahim
July 11, 2022
The 2022 Scott Fish Bowl (#SFB12) kicks off today! The scoring format is mainly unchanged from prior Fish Bowls, with the largest changes impacting the kicker and quarterback positions. Matt Spencer ran several simulations and noted that only 42 points separate draft positions in average projected points, underscoring the balance in scoring for this format. Before I jump into the changes, here’s a quick primer…...
Does the Running Back Dead Zone Still Exist? Comparing Underdog and FFPC
Conor O’Driscoll
July 8, 2022
The running back dead zone has entered the public consciousness in a big way. An understanding of how to approach the draft once all the top running backs are off the board and exciting wide receivers are still available has become much more widespread. With this greater understanding comes a shift in ADPs. The Win The Flex tool is uniquely well placed to objectively analyze…...

Bjorn Yang-Vaernet
July 7, 2022
Bjorn Yang-Vaernet goes over his round-by-round strategy and picks for Rounds 1 through 5 in a post-NFL draft RotoViz TriFlex Dynasty league. I recently completed a RotoViz TriFlex dynasty league startup draft on FFPC. Although I have completed startup drafts on other platforms, this league type appealed to me for its emphasis on skill rather than luck. For example, instead of multiple head-to-head playoff rounds,…...

Why the Third Receiver Slot Is So Important on Underdog: Lessons from the Win The Flex App
Conor O’Driscoll
July 4, 2022
On Underdog, it is no secret that the half-PPR scoring favors running backs more than the wide receivers. And yet, wide receivers go earlier on Underdog than in any other format. It would be tempting to surmise that running backs are dramatically undervalued. In fact, the projections based on the Win The Flex app suggest that running backs will outscore the next available wide receiver…...

Has the Second-Year Receiver Advantage Been Squeezed Out of Existence?
Conor O’Driscoll
June 28, 2022
RotoViz has always championed drafting young, explosive wide receivers. This is particularly true with regards to second-year players, which we’ve often called the biggest edge in fantasy. This cadre of players sees the biggest jump in targets from one year to the next. In recent years however, the cost of these players has started to rise. But it’s also important to remember that recent classes…...
