When I first broke down the concept of Situational Touches, I focused solely on player production and output. From this piece, I received some questions on how a player’s Situational Touches related to his team’s total, and if that was relevant. I also wanted to take a look at team totals to see if we could draw some more conclusions for 2015. Well it took…...

Fantasy football updates for Doug Martin, Ameer Abdullah, Michael Crabtree, and more. Doug Martin Was affirmed as Tampa Bay’s starter by Lovie Smith. Of course that could change between now and the season, but I think it’s a little harder for a coach to change their mind once they’ve gone on record. Martin’s ADP (RB34) makes him one of the last backs with RB1 upside…....

These three quarterbacks will sink your draft, lose your year before you start. Live your life, sure, but don’t draft these three. Have you heard the phrase “That Begs the Question”? Surprising to most, it has an old meaning far more intellectually rewarding than the modern, “That makes me think this question.” An argument begs the question, in the philosophical sense, when it assumes as…...

@RotoDoc has a PhD in Mathematics while @14TeamMocker has just been obsessed with Jamaal Charles for years. Below they debate the points and counterpoints of taking Charles as a top 3 overall redraft pick in 2015. (@14TeamMocker) This all started when @RotoDoc contributed to an article entitled “7 Fantasy Draft Ideas So Simple They Have To Be Right” by saying not to draft Jamaal Charles. The…...

Earlier I posted an article on why I’m fading Martavis Bryant in redraft leagues this year. That article outlined Bryant’s current ADP, probable outcomes, final projections, and it served as the pre-cursor for this piece. If you want to see my thought process for coming to this conclusion, hit the link at the bottom of the page. Training camp buzz has started, and Bryant is creepin’…...

Earlier this offseason I wrote an article where I made the case for Allen Robinson as 2015’s breakout wide receiver. At the time, Robinson’s ADP was in the sixth round of redraft leagues, but it’s risen since, with Robinson now going towards the end of the fifth round. Many people are concerned about or suspect that his ADP will rise even higher if there’s positive hype in…...

When Fantasy Douche went over the outlook of Sammy Watkins back in May, he came to the conclusion that the sophomore wide receiver was a little over-valued as WR18 off the board. Two months later, and Watkins has fallen to WR24. After a summer littered with questions about Watkins and a dropoff in price, I think it’s finally time to ask: Are we too low…...

Fantasy football drafts are all about value, and that’s especially true of auction drafts. By combining our composite projections, which you can find in the Cheat Sheet Calculator and Best Ball ADP apps, and My Fantasy League’s average auction values I was able to boil value down into a single number. Without further ado, here are the best auction values at running back: The table is pretty…...

Martavis Bryant has reportedly gained 15-20 pounds, and is connecting on 40 yard bombs for touchdowns from Ben Roethlisberger in training camp. National sources are ecstatic about his potential for a break-out this year. How much substance is there in this discussion, and how much of it is noise? What does this all mean, and will it translate into the production needed to pay off…...

This piece was really inspired by Shawn Siegele’s piece projecting Sam Bradford to throw 50 touchdowns. After reading that article I immediately thought of Mike Evans as a guy who, just like Bradford, has a chance to really burn up fantasy leagues if a few things bounce his way. Evans was, and still is, my favorite prospect in the 2014 draft class. Admittedly, I was slightly…...

  Finding values in fantasy football player is like getting your hands on the Holy Grail. Every offseason there are literally thousands and thousands of articles written about who’s a good value and who’s a bad value — and I’m sure RotoViz is responsible for 35 percent of them. These are just facts. So what the hell, let me throw my hat in the ring. I’m a very…...

Sorry for being a degenerate, but while perusing NFL futures today, I couldn’t help but notice something strange. As many football fans know (especially DFS players) the Las Vegas betting market is a pretty efficient place for understanding how the smartest football minds value teams, players and likely outcomes. Piggybacking off that, I’m going to evaluate the 2015 rookie class through the eyes of oddsmakers…...

“The best time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.” -J.P. Morgan Don’t let ADPs fool you, they actually still play football in St. Louis. For some reason, Jeff Fisher is still the head coach, despite only winning 34 games in his last 5 seasons. While offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was run out of town, Fisher was allowed to promote quarterbacks coach Frank…...

Fantasy football news, covering Oakland’s running backs, Seattle’s passing game, Pittsburgh’s wide receivers, and more. Trent Richardson Another day, another negative report. Asked about Trent Richardson’s chances of making #Raiders: 50%, I’m told. Besides Latavius Murray, competition with Roy Helu & Michael Dyer — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 2, 2015 And more positive Roy Helu news. Helu is technically Latavius Murray’s backup, but should also…...

Quick-hitting thoughts about Joseph Randle, Juwan Thompson, Marqise Lee, and more. Stephen Hill If he wasn’t done before, he probably is now, after an apparently severe knee injury. Juwan Thompson Is earning positive buzz in Broncos camp. That’s great. But with CJ Anderson having so much upside, and Montee Ball having a more expensive contract, it’s hard to have much hope for Thompson. He showed well in limited…...

I’d been planning on writing an article titled, “Is Terrelle Pryor Already the Browns Best Receiver?” pretty much since the day they signed him. It was meant to be half serious, half in jest. But now this: #Browns WR Terrelle Pryor said he's so familiar with OC John DeFilippo's playbook that younger WRs on team are asking him questions. — Nate Ulrich (@ByNateUlrich) July 30,…...
