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.
After arriving at Ohio State as an elite recruit, Emeka Egbuka was never able to put together a true breakout season despite staying in school for four years. However, because he played alongside multiple five-star prospects, his lack of top-end statistics could be partially explained away. Seeing Egbuka land with an NFL team where he would have a primary role on Day 1 could have…...
Shawn Siegele updates his 2025 dynasty superflex rookie rankings after 60 frantic hours of drafting in the FFPC. He discusses what these high-stakes leagues can teach us about all dynasty rookie drafts this spring and summer. Beginning Saturday morning I’ve spent almost every waking moment living and breathing fantasy rookie drafts. With nine FFPC squads and seven different co-managers, I got to talk a lot…...
Despite an obvious need to add wide receivers to their offense to help ease the burden on CeeDee Lamb, Dallas did not add any pass catchers in the 2025 NFL Draft. A couple of weeks after the draft, the Cowboys rectified their shortcoming by trading a 2026 third-round pick plus a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Steelers for George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick. ⚠️…...
The Running Back Prospect Lab is one of my favorite tools on the site, but it’s not exactly a precision instrument. It uses a simple linear model to predict an RB’s early NFL career based on a few important college metrics. However, the simplicity ends up being a benefit — it knows what to look for and isn’t often fooled by outliers. I’m updating this…...
Le’Veon Bell was not an elite prospect coming out of Michigan State but showed enough to be drafted by the Steelers in the middle of the second round of the 2013 NFL draft. His athletic testing was not overly impressive but still solid for a 230-pound back. Once in the NFL, Bell put together a strong rookie season before taking over the league in Year…...
Leading up to the NFL Draft, R.J. Harvey was receiving plenty of buzz despite being stuck in the middle of a deep running back class. Being selected on the second day of the draft was always a possibility, but Harvey fell into one of the best situations possible when he landed in Denver at the end of the second round. Things for Harvey got even…...
After covering the potential 2026 rookie classes at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, it is time to finish things off with an overview of the tight end position. Once we get through the TEs, I will use all of the data that has been discussed over the four articles in this series to put together a way-too-early 2026 superflex rookie mock draft. Like WR,…...
The Wide Receiver Prospect Lab has been one of the most reliable tools for evaluating rookie receivers for years. Like its RB counterpart, it uses a linear model to predict early-career fantasy performance based on key college metrics. The beauty of this approach lies in its simplicity — by focusing on a few critical variables, the model avoids both overfitting and overreliance on a single…...
Shawn Siegele discusses rankings and tiers for 2025 dynasty superflex rookie drafts and proposes scenarios for maximizing your total haul. The RotoViz TriFlex leagues and regular FFPC dynasty leagues begin their rookie drafts on Saturday morning. In this exercise I work through projected rookie draft slots and help subscribers navigate individual player tiers to create the most total value and best address team needs. This…...
There is no easy way to say it; the 2026 rookie wide receiver class is looking pretty rough. That is not to say that it is lacking talent, but there is not a single player in the class who does not currently come with legitimate question marks. Whether it be a lack of consistent high-end production or concerns about their NFL fit and overall ceiling,…...

Players drafted on Day 3 and beyond rarely find much fantasy relevance. Yet there have been a handful of recent undrafted free agent running backs to make some noise in the NFL. Some of the biggest UDFA RB hits include Priest Holmes, Arian Foster, LeGarrette Blount, Austin Ekeler, James Robinson, Thomas Rawls, and Phillip Lindsay. It’s an uphill battle to gain fantasy relevance for these…...
Shawn Siegele updates his top-60 dynasty rookie rankings live on draft weekend. Earlier this week I published my final pre-draft rookie rankings. As a reference piece that included a) my most recent thoughts, b) results and visualizations from the combine, c) intel on peripherals from Sports Info Solutions, and d) intel from various articles and RotoViz tools . . . it was over 12,000 words…....
In the week prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, I put out articles detailing the ideal landing spots for this year’s rookie crop of running backs and wide receivers based on vacated opportunities from 2024 and player performance. As players at both positions come off the board, I will be analyzing what their new NFL home means for their fantasy value, as well as how…...
Shawn Siegele updates his 2025 pre-NFL draft dynasty superflex rookie mock, providing blurbs on 60 players in 10 tiers. Earlier this month I posted a tiered four-round rookie mock. Today I’m updating that exercise by detailing all of my thoughts on risers and fallers while getting us up to 60 players by adding a full round. A few subscribers have reached out and mentioned that…...
Robert Woods was drafted at the beginning of the second round in 2013 by Buffalo, but had to wait six years before seeing his first breakout season. Following his first 200-point PPR season in 2018, he put up two more in consecutive seasons. The 49ers selected Michael Crabtree with the 10th pick of the 2009 draft, but he did not break out until his fourth…...
Due to off-the-field issues, Tyreek Hill was not selected until the fifth round of the 2016 draft. If based solely on attributes, he would have easily come off of the board in one of the first two rounds. Hill’s talent was never in doubt, and he proved it by putting up more than 200 PPR points and finishing as the PPR WR18 during his rookie…...

Kyler Murray has received his fair share of criticism in recent years, but it was not that long ago when he was a fantasy darling after finishing as the QB4 in his explosive sophomore season. Largely on the back of an elite rushing workload, Murray took the league by storm in 2020. But it is not as if he came out of nowhere after being…...
