NOTE: Our tools will be updated each week as soon as data from our stats provider is available. Generally, data from Sunday’s games will be available early Tuesday afternoon. For an immediate look at the games from the previous weekend, please check out our Monday Review tool which includes a collection of preliminary stats.

We all love to have our receivers we draft to be attached to the best offenses with the best quarterbacks, and in these best ball tournaments we love to stack them. But it’s important not to reach for these stacks. We need to be conscious of value even when drafting for upside. One way to do this is to arbitrage an attractive player profile by…...

Shawn Siegele discusses the strategic insights, tactical decisions, and player targets necessary to build a Hyperfragile juggernaut. RotoViz Overtime listeners are being treated to all of our usual content this month, plus a flurry of draft shows. Colm Kelly and I recently built a Hyperfragile dream team in the Best Ball Mania III tournament. We drafted that squad from the 1.02. Later that day, I…...

Several teams have new quarterbacks with projected upgrades and downgrades for their receivers. Previously, I looked at the Steelers and Panthers receivers with the sneaky upside. Today we’ll focus on two teams who traded quarterbacks with each other during the offseason: the Broncos and the Seahawks As expected, the ADP market boosted the Broncos’ receivers, yet there was skepticism surrounding the Seahawks. Let’s take a…...

Shawn Siegele looks at Tampa Bay’s addition of Julio Jones and discusses the fantasy fallout for their other trio of receivers. Reports indicate that the Buccaneers have signed Julio Jones to a one-year contract. We’re still a ways from knowing if Tampa is serious about a role for the former star and if he can generate the type of glowing practice reports that made Antonio…...

I know, I know. There must be literally dozens of people out there, unable to begin firmly crafting their redraft strategy for 2022 without knowing which late-round tight ends Neil Dutton, the position-obsessed writer from the UK, thinks could be in for a big year. The delay on my part has been inexcusable, and I beg forgiveness. But nonetheless, we are here now, ready and…...

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…...

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…...

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 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…...

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…...

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…...

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…...

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,…...

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…...

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…...

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…...

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…...

Thomas Emerick looks at offensive line continuity as a key feature of efficient NFL offenses. Who stands to benefit from having the most returning offensive line starters? One of the overlooked keys to efficient offensive play in the NFL is the offensive line, and one of the overlooked aspects of offensive line evaluation is overall unit cohesion. How many offensive line starters a team returns…...

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,…...

Last time, we looked at three big-gap backfields with buying opportunities. We know from Jack Miller’s research on the win and hit rates for big or small-gap backs, and from similar research by Charlie Kleinheksel before that, that the ADP gap between a team’s RB1 and their RB2 has significant implications for how we should expect them to perform. In those previous articles and in this…...
