This app might need a catchier name, but what it lacks in marketing genius it makes up for in usability. One of the things that’s useful to do when you’re searching for daily hoops bargains is to look at the players that will be out that night and then find their backup.  But sometimes it’s not as simple as finding the other center on the…...

One of our followers on Twitter asks if Ian Mahinmi is a decent start given Roy Hibbert’s suspension.  James Goldstein speculated in his lineup piece that IND will play more small lineups with Hibbert’s absence.  That strikes me as being correct.  However, given Mahinmi’s low salary on most sites, there’s probably some value in playing him tonight.  We can actually look at a correlation matrix…...

It is often said that wide receivers break out in their third season. Everyone knows that A.J.

The Twittersphere erupted today when Jay Glazer reported that the Chiefs have a deal in principal to acquire Alex Smith from the 49ers.  The Chiefs will give up their 2nd round pick this year in order to do that.  I have a few thoughts on this trade, so let’s go through them in order of how much I agree with what I think conventional wisdom…...

I think there’s a decent chance that most of the RotoViz contributors end up liking Tavon Austin’s WVU teammate Stedman Bailey a little more than Austin in upcoming dynasty drafts…....

Heading into  the 2013 offseason there is great interest in the New England passing attack. Gronk and Hernandez are star tight ends, but who else is going to catch passes from Tom Brady? Excluding practice squad players for the moment, the Patriots only have Brandon Lloyd and Matt Slater under contract for the 2013 season. It is clear that the Pats are lacking a true…...

In the first part of this series, Shawn Siegele layed out the bearish view on Matthew Stafford.  In this installment Frank DuPont/The Fantasy Douche is going to do his best to lay out the bullish view. First, let me just say that when I went to check Matthew Stafford’s ADP (hoping that it would have sunk below QB12) I was totally disappointed and Stafford might…...

Entering 2012, his third season in the NFL, Eric Decker was a nice receiver who showed promise as a complement to Demaryius Thomas. In his first two seasons he caught 50 balls for 718 yards and 9 touchdowns but only managed four games with more than three catches…....

Mississippi State receiver Chad Bumphis has been in the news twice recently. First, he used social media to warn recruits about taking money on National Signing Day. Later, news broke that he got snubbed from the NFL combine, despite hauling in 12 receiving touchdowns this year. For perspective, consider the following:…...

Tight end is a position that has created some challenges in recent years if forecasting via Similarity Scores is what we want to do.  There are fewer tight ends than wide receivers or running backs, and the emergence of guys like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham has meant that we have multiple tight ends per year that we’re trying to match up with historical seasons…...

If it weren’t for the infamous Fail Mary debacle on Monday Night Football, Golden Tate would have gone completely under the radar in 2012 despite logging a very solid season of production. Tate finished 34th in total fantasy points among wide receivers with 688 yards and 7 TDs (six if you’re not counting the charity he received from the replacement refs)…....
