Unless it’s elite talent paired with elite usage, I don’t like to pay up for defensive players in IDP leagues. Fantasy IDPs are a lot like real-life RBs in that they’re cheap, replaceable, and don’t really matter. Generally speaking, we want to be buying cheap snaps and waiting for that sweet variance to kick in. In this series, we’ll look at some cheap/free dynasty IDP…...

With one of original RotoViz dynasty leagues growing stale, we decide to reboot under the leadership of Funniest RotoVizian Alive, John Solis. Our new league is Superflex, as all leagues should be in 2019. In many cases it’s difficult to get good Superflex ADP, but the Dynasty ADP tool from Mike Beers allows you to pull in dynasty superflex ADPs from FFPC and MFL. Today…...

This article is part of a series on dynasty WRs looking at the RotoViz redraft rankings and asking “what if we’re right?”[1]I’m using the royal we here since I don’t actually contribute to our rankings. Many thanks to our redraft rankers: Blair Andrews, Curtis Patrick, Dave Caban, Hasan Rahim, Monty Phan and Shawn Siegele. After all, our rankings are trying to determine the most likely outcome…...

As mentioned in my previous article, the Kansas City Chiefs have plenty of opportunity available for their receivers. We know that Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins, and Mecole Hardman should see plenty of volume this season. However, considering that Tyreek Hill may not play this season,[1]or at the very least face a lengthy suspension there could be additional opportunity available for the several auxiliary wide receivers…...

In my recent article on Scott Miller I took a breather from telling you why the diminutive phenom is a must add, so that I could briefly profile his teammate, second-year WR Justin Watson. If Watson is interesting enough to warrant a mention in another player’s article, he’s probably worth his own article right? Here it is: Outrageous Production Justin Watson was the Buccaneers 2018…...

Dynasty rookie drafts are in full swing this spring, and if you’re like me, it’s not enough to just play in an IDP league — it’s got to be a deep IDP league, requiring you to unearth rookie gems on a regular basis. In the midst of a dynasty rookie draft that requires 11 IDP starters, I’ve been digging in to find the mid-to-late-round values…...

  Andy Isabella may be one of the best rookie values in recent memory, but he’s not the best WR value in this draft class. No, that honor goes to a different senior WR from a non-power 5 conference. One who actually broke out before he was 22 years old. How can there be a better WR value than Isabella, the uber productive WR whom…...

  There are a lot of ways to win in dynasty. Some dynasty owners will plan on losing the first few years while building “dream team” rosters. Others tend to overly focus on youth and/or highly touted rookies. There’s also the “get your guy” owner who will undoubtedly reach for a player often rounds ahead of ADP. You can almost bank on there being at…...

  Having the top pick in a high-stakes dynasty league is typically a double-edged sword: According to recent history, the consensus pick at the 1.01 has at times in their careers been valued as among the most coveted assets in fantasy. But, unless you traded for that pick, having it means you likely spent hundreds (and in some cases, thousands) of dollars to buy into…...

  When the Chiefs traded up in the 2019 second round, the RotoViz draft room was abuzz. Kansas City was obviously moving up to select the replacement for Tyreek Hill. This was the pick that was going to make a fantasy hero. The Chiefs love athleticism in their draft picks, and they’re trying to replace the fastest man in the NFL, so it seemed obvious…...

  Dynasty fantasy football startup drafts are in season, and that means it’s time to talk dynasty draft strategy. I’ll be covering a number of different topics to ensure you’re as prepared as is humanly possible, including roster construction techniques, snake draft versus auction draft strategy, players to target, and players to avoid. Players I’m Avoiding in Dynasty Startup Drafts in 2019 Let’s begin with…...

  The 2018 class started out like most previous classes with four rookies finishing inside the PPR top-12 QBs/TEs or top-24 RBs/WRs. The 2010 class was the only class in this series to have less than four, which was the average per year. It’s interesting to note that two of those, Nick Chubb and Phillip Lindsay, weren’t starters at the beginning of the season. This…...

  The Arizona Cardinals selected Andy Isabella No. 62 overall in the 2019 NFL draft. The UMass star was the eighth wide receiver off the board in the reality event, and yet he’s only the No. 10 WR in rookie drafts. Still, that’s hardly the kind of gap to get worked up over unless there’s something else going on. What is it about the diminutive…...

  If you’ve been following Jacob Rickrode’s fantastic series on Rookie Hit Rates, you know that the hits fall off dramatically throughout the first round and the subsequent rounds are barren hellscapes. I offered a couple of methods for profiting from this in 5 Ways to Attack Your Rookie Drafts, but I’m also just like everyone else who plays fantasy football: I want to play…....
