Each week his season, a group of RotoViz writers writers will offer their Play of the Week. We’re tracking the value of our recommendations, using a DraftKings Millionaire Maker lineup metric, but we think these picks will also be valuable for seasonal leagues as well. For all the details about the thought process behind our picks, check the intro article. The goal is simple: recommend a…...

We all hope to have perks at our jobs. When you work for a hotel, you get discounted rooms. Sometimes you get upgraded to a suite. When you work at an office downtown, maybe you have a great view. Sometimes Ted From Accounting brings in donuts on Fridays. When you work at Chick-Fil-A, you get all the waffle fries you can eat. Sometimes they make…...

Welcome to the RB Opportunity Report. The goal of this series is to go beyond raw carries, targets and yardage stats to look at the true opportunity each running back had to score fantasy points each week, and what they did with it….

Tajae Sharpe greeted the college football world in 2012 in an unassuming way; by catching a pass in every single game en route to a 20-206-0 campaign. The raw numbers may not grab your attention, but this should: Tajae was 17 years old for every game of that season….

In the News RotoViz recently earned a pair of mentions in different outlets. 14TeamMocker got a shoutout on NFL.com related to his advocacy on behalf of the fantasy prospects of Leonard Hankerson. Taking a quick look at the Fantasy Efficiency App, we see that Hankerson is comfortably ahead of Roddy White by any measure.

It was another strong week to stream quarterbacks, as a glutton of top-end QBs failed to produce. Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Eli Manning, Matt Ryan, and Drew Brees all failed to finish inside the top 12 of the position in Week 2. How did my QB streamers stack up? Let’s recap the week that was, and make some fresh picks! Week 2 Recap Streamer of the Week: 10.1 FP…...

Week 2 Recap Week 2 was an interesting week to play daily fantasy football, to say the least. The Saints forgot how to play, Drew Brees was allegedly hurt during that game, the Eagles were a giant a mess overall, but Jordan Matthews saved his fantasy day on the last few drives for Philly, and DeMarco Murray had two rushing yards on 13 attempts and the Eagles had…...

This weekly article was created to serve as a case study for those of you who would like to play in a high stakes league but don’t want to make the jump from a $50 to $1,500 buy-in. I joined a $250 Fantasy Football Player’s Championship satellite league in order to get a feel for the type of competition that you will see as one…...

This past football Sunday is one that truly tests your talent and team evaluation skills as a fantasy owner. Week 2 was headlined by a Browns receiver in the top 5, a veteran’s fantasy value re-emergence, and a second year star on the rise. Should we expect these surprise performances to become the new norm, or is it simply a blip on the radar? Travis Benjamin –…...

Ben did a great job explaining how these reports work last week so if you’re new you can check it out here. A few Week 2 observations: Carson Palmer torched Chicago this week to come in as the weeks most efficient performer with 17.88 paFPOE on just 23 attempts. Adding to a strong Week 1 performance, Palmer easily passed Marcus Mariota as the leagues most efficient passer. His 55…...

Quincy Enunwa – Eric Decker is day to day with a knee sprain. It’s tough to know how long he’ll be out, but Chris Owusu also has a leg injury per reports on Twitter. We liked Enunwa coming out and are glad to see him working his way into the offense. If you use a flier on Enunwa and then Decker’s knee situation ends up…...

Week 2 of my FanDuel odyssey went a lot better than Week 1. That is to say, I didn’t lose most of what I played. Just how good was it? Let’s take a look. Bankroll Progress Started With: $1000 Current Total: $912.40 I can’t really complain about the results this week. Breaking even feels just as good as winning after losing most of what I put into…...

In our series of Opportunity Reports, RotoViz will examine the weekly production of position groups through the lens of the Fantasy Efficiency App. A primer on how to use this app can be found in last week’s column. We’re examining opportunity and efficiency using historical line of scrimmage data to establish the expected fantasy point value of targets (and comparing actual fantasy points to that expected…...

Fantasy football players can point to numerous things that impacted the performance of their teams. It could be a start or sit decision. A sleeper breaking out or a stud not performing. Last week my team survived a close match up against the second highest scoring team in the league. This entry will share with you how I approached the week 2 waiver wire in my Fantasy…...

If you’re just starting to take daily fantasy sports  (DFS) seriously (like me), you’ve probably read a few articles from the ‘pros,’ either here at RotoViz or at other sites. One common narrative that you’ll find in all those articles: There are highs, and there are lows. Being a good DFS-player requires being able to withstand them….

Week 2 was a disaster. Not only did many of my Week 1 reactions seem to be overreactions[1]They weren’t!, but several key players found themselves subject to injuries of varying seriousness. However, there is also a silver lining: Against this backdrop of blood and guts, multiple rookie running backs have made significant strides in their respective backfields. In this edition of Dynasty Impact, I’ll assess…...
