In this weekly article, Bjorn Yang-Vaernet will use the Advanced Stat Explorer and other Rotoviz tools to dive deep into wide receiver usage trends. Usage is key for making waiver wire adds, start/sit decisions, and finding the next blow-up WR in DFS.

Week 7 kicked off with D’Ernest Johnson smashing on Thursday night. According to the Advanced Stats Explorer, Johnson averaged 4.05 yards after contact with a 23% evasion rate. Sure, that’ll regress with more attempts, but the Broncos’ defense stuffed Johnson on only 5% of his runs in Week 7. He likely won weeks for fantasy managers. Last week’s theme involved rookies and second-year backs popping…...

National Tight Ends Day has been and gone and provided us with some fun and games last week. There were big games for players we had all but forgotten about. TEs who we hoped would come good came good. And a lot of touchdowns were scored. Sadly, the deeds of last week have pushed some of our favorite streamers past the 50% ownership, making them…...

Shawn Siegele breaks down the underdog heroics from D’Ernest Johnson, looks forward to Javonte Williams’ breakout, and locates the next 10 cheap RBs to buy. D’Ernest Johnson was the latest Zero RB fill-in option to win a week, leading the NFL with 146 rushing yards. He was a difficult decision in free agency, given the potential that he would only get a single start. Nick…...

Blair Andrews marvels at some record-breaking performances, including by the new dynasty WR1 — or maybe the No. 1 player overall.  With many of the stars on bye in Week 7, it was up to some up-and-comers to carry the torches for our fantasy squads. A few of them delivered in a big way, while a few left us wishing we had earlier rookie picks…...

Shawn Siegele praises the consistent week-winning performances from D’Andre Swift and Ja’Marr Chase, provides a deep bye-week option at wide receiver, and uses the Monday Review tool to locate and discuss the best buy-lows. Week 7 was another huge week for the RotoViz draft plan, which emphasized loading up on WRs . . . and D’Andre Swift. Last week, I mentioned that his receiving Expected…...

In this edition of Win the Waiver Wire, Sam Wallace shares his top waiver targets for Week 8 in seasonal fantasy football leagues. Congratulations! You survived one of the worst bye weeks in recent memory. Bye weeks still remain in the weeks to come, and it’s worth looking for players who are dropped because of those bye weeks.

Corbin Young looks at the advanced running back stats to find sneaky trade targets and waiver wire pickups with league-winning potential. Unfortunately, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt suffered injuries last week. Both players popped in the running back advanced stats through six weeks.

Shawn Siegele praises Darrell Henderson and D’Andre Swift, admits defeat on Leonard Fournette, and catalogues the bevy of important bye-week stash options at RB. The biggest fireworks were again in the AFC, but Henderson, Swift, Fournette and Dalvin Cook provided plenty of excitement of their own. Henderson and Fournette have paid off in a big way for Zero RB drafters, but the Watch List isn’t…...

We are entering what some people are calling The Mother of All Bye Weeks. Okay, these people are pretty much me, myself, and I. But the six teams sitting out this week take with them four of the top 15 fantasy scoring tight ends through six weeks. TE is a volatile enough spot without so much production sitting on couches at home, taking in the…...
