Can Diontae Johnson Find Fantasy Efficiency with Mitch Trubisky? The Wrong Read, Week 14 – Thursday Night Preview

The Wrong Read has had many lives — first as a reflection on insights from the RotoViz podcasts; then as a freeform space for exploring a variety of metrics and strategies. It will likely continue in that latter function, but at least for now — in season — it’s an in-depth matchup lookahead article. Each week I’ll gather advanced stats from our tools — mainly…...

Using the RotoViz Pace Tool to Forecast which Week 14 Games to Target or Avoid

The pace of play at the team level is instructive in fantasy football. The faster a team is, the more plays they will tend to run. The more plays a team tends to run, the more players on those teams tend to score. Using the RotoViz Pace Tool, we can see the tendencies of every team in these areas so far in 2023. I toggled to…...

Zero RB Dynasty Watch: Which Saturday Stars are Rushing toward Sunday?

The clock is running out on the fantasy regular season, but as an Eagles fan I’m still in the midst of a stretch of games that has been bringing an unreasonable level of excitement to the reality football regular season.

Zero RB Universe: Week 14 – Chuba Hubbard Emerges, But Two of Our Favorites Go Down Early

Mixon led the position group in both…...
