Why the Third Receiver Slot Is So Important on Underdog: Lessons from the Win The Flex App

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…...

My Wildest Dynasty Roster Ever and 5 Orphan Tactics to Build a Juggernaut in Any Dynasty League

Shawn Siegele dives into the extreme dynasty strategy that builds a juggernaut even when you take on an orphan in ultra-competitive leagues. Few formats are as wild and crazy as deep superflex dynasty leagues and the RV TriFlex leagues are a perfect example. We’ve been focusing on startup and rookie tactics recently in the Dynasty Workshop, but today we’ve taken a brief diversion into the true…...

Has the Second-Year Receiver Advantage Been Squeezed Out of Existence?

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…...

Mind the Gap: 3 Backfields with Buying Opportunities

Last summer, I looked at big gap and small gap running backs to identify undervalued backs based on their ADP. The idea comes 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. First, let’s define our terms: B1 and B2 running backs refer to a team’s RB1 and RB2 in backfields where there is…...

2 Deep Sleepers to Target at Wide Receiver in Your 2022 Best Ball Drafts

Meng Song discusses two deep sleepers at wide receiver and explains why they have the weekly upside you need to win your best ball contests. Names like Tim Patrick and DeVante Parker are oft-discussed wide receivers as values in the double-digit rounds, as both players have opportunities to potentially see high target shares in 2022. But let’s dive further and discuss a couple of deep…...

How to Finish a Hyperfragile Draft Strong

I recently wrote about Hyperfragile drafts in Bestball Mania and how to draft them optimally. It can be an exciting way to draft, but it is usually not implemented very well and the results reflect it. RB3 BEFORE ROUND 5, FIVE OR FEWER RBS Fortunately, the errors are easy to correct and result in a contrarian monster. Doing this research made me extremely excited about…...

Can Kyle Pitts Pay Off His ADP? Atlanta Falcons Fantasy Football Multiverse

The idea of the multiverse is fascinating to me. You change one small thing in one timeline and it breaks off and affects things down the road in profound ways. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that has Earth-shattering, Thanos-snapping implications. In fantasy football, it’s just my fancy way of saying that a range of outcomes exists.

Are Underdog Players Drafting Enough Running Backs?

The RotoViz suite of Roster Construction Explorer tools are awesome. Because we have both tournament data and a long history of data, we are able to rigorously test out roster construction ideas for historical success. I’ve written previously about how to use these tools to build unique and utterly dominant Zero RB, Anchor RB, and Hyperfragile teams. When it comes to the Underdog BBM III…...

After drafting a variety of Anchor RB and Hyperfragile teams in the early going, the people have spoken. The hunger for Zero RB teams won’t be sated with this draft, but it at least starts the process. I drew the 1.06 and put together one of my favorite Zero…...

Earlier this offseason I made an appearance on Ship Chasing to participate in a rookie mock draft.

The responses in the comments included joking accusations of ageism. All I can…...

Best Ball Tournament Workshop: Does Draft Speed Matter? Why the Fast Draft Advantage Isn’t Quite What It Seems

Winning a million dollars playing best ball tournaments requires a lot of skill and also a lot of luck.

But before we even draft, there are a few things in our control that affect our…...
