The No. 1 question about Zero RB is a simple one. Where do you find running backs? The NFL Draft. Rookies tend to be overvalued in fantasy, but inefficiencies in the draft process tend to balance that equation. Breakout RBs. I examined my process for finding breakout runners in Zero RB, Breakout Runners, and Having More Fun Drafting. In comparing my previous Zero RB breakout…...

In case you haven’t noticed we now have our Cheat Sheet app up on the site to help you with your drafts. It’s probably one of my favorite apps we’ve ever done because underlying the projections in the app is a monumental ranking process that the RotoViz writers have undertaken this summer. Thirteen separate RotoViz writers have projected the offenses for all 32 teams. We’ve always done…...

Daily fantasy football is my all time favorite among the daily fantasy sports. We’re a little over 40 days until NFL kickoff. DraftKings has answered our prayers and released their salaries for Week 1. Along with a tournament that leaves a crisp $2 million to first place and $1 million to the runner up. We’ve still got some time to go before kickoff and a…...

Breshad Perriman Ran with the ones today. So much for Kamar Aiken running with the ones, as he did during OTAs. We disparaged Aiken’s chances of making an impact earlier this offseason. Of course, we highlighted Darren Waller as a deep sleeper likely to overtake him. But ESPN recently projected Waller to miss the cut, and be left off the 53 man roster. Call me stubborn, but I’d still…...

During the 2013 and 2014 NFL seasons, I did separate weekly rundowns of the running back and wide receiver positions on a team-by-team basis. Respectively, these posts were called the Backfield Report and the Wideout Report. This year, I am consolidating the two columns into one document, The Position Report, which sounds like the name of an Inside Amy Schumer skit about a sex therapist…....

I’m going to do you a favor: If you don’t like to take risks, just stop reading now. Seriously, what I am going to propose to you in this piece is not for the faint of heart. You should draft Geno Smith. And not only that, in leagues where you don’t draft him, you should look to stream him as your starting QB. In real leagues…....

Dr. Jeffrey E. Budoff is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who wades through misleading coach-speak and vague team injury information to offer advice for your fantasy team. Roddy White, Atlanta’s 33 year old wide receiver, informed the media this week that he had his knee drained prior to June minicamp, and expects to need to have it drained again during season. He said he was told that his cartilage…...

The time is finally here. That’s right, today I unveil the top six players I am looking to build around this summer. I’ve already covered players 7-12, 13-18, and 19-24. Here are the best of the best. No. 6 Marcus Mariota One of the biggest projected quarterback values is Marcus Mariota. He is our projected QB17 and owns a QB23 price tag. But I think we are…...

Roddy White From Rotoworld.com: Roddy White had his knee drained prior to June minicamp and expects the knee to be drained again during the 2015 season. Knee drainings are generally routine, non-surgical procedures, but may be concerning for White coming off back-to-back injury-plagued seasons. White actually hinted doctors told him to have surgery, but he is going to play through the knee “irritation” instead. “It’s…...

Last time, I provided you with players 19-24 and 13-18 that will help you stack titles in 2015. Today we dive into players 7-12. No. 12 Sam Bradford Sam Bradford is coming off of his second ACL tear in as many years. He’s never passed for 3,800 yards or exceeded 21 touchdown passes. So why am I willing to invest in him heavily in 2015? The answer…...

For our veteran RotoViz audience this piece probably looks familiar, but for subscribers who are entering their first season with us I actually put together a 2014 version of this piece, part one here and part two here, that I thought was simple, and actionable. There’s a ton of luck in football and it’s extremely hard to determine who benefitted or was hindered by that luck on a play to play…...

When discussing coaches, fans don’t always realize that Gary Kubiak coached with Mike Shanahan on the Broncos for 11 years and employed Kyle Shanahan for four years in Houston. The significant overlap in offensive scheme suggests my argument for selecting Julio Jones No. 1 applies in large part to Demaryius Thomas. It’s also one of the reasons Clinton Portis’ rookie year fireworks offer a tantalizing window into Tevin…...

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 wide receiver: The table is pretty…...

Markus Wheaton From TribeLive.com: “I’ve worked on everything during training camp because I want to be a complete receiver,” he said. “I’m not just a slot receiver. “I don’t think we need to change much, but there are things we need to correct. There are little things I have to correct. As the young guys grow, including me, this offense will grow.” “We believe our…...

ADP So…a two game suspension feels a lot different than a three game suspension, doesn’t it? With word also emerging that his knee appears healthy, expect Bell’s ADP to percolate back up. Here’s his ADP trend from February through last week.   And here it is since July 25th. Not that it dropped that far, but your odds of getting him with a non-first-overall selection…...

Last time, I provided you with players 19-24 that will help you stack titles in 2015. Here are players 13-18. No. 18 Devin Funchess After a pre-draft process that left some mixed opinions on Devin Funchess, I am ready to commit to the young player in drafts this summer. Last year, Shawn Siegele discovered the Three Holy Grail Components to WR Evaluation to be age, weight,…...

A couple of years ago, Bryan Fontaine wrote an article that achieved a certain notoriety.[1]And I mean that mostly in terms of the word’s popular culture connotation with just a little bit of it’s actual definition mixed in. It was a great piece that looked at whether Sam Bradford could throw 50 touchdowns in 2013. I disagreed at the time and suggested Jared Cook and Bradford…...
