Wide receivers are flying off fantasy football draft boards earlier than ever, creating a “WR avalanche” that’s reshaping best ball. Michael Dubner dives deep into the new best ball WR avalanche landscape, explores why WRs are going earlier than ever, and reveals the best ways to navigate the WR avalanche so you don’t get buried. Should we lean into Zero RB to get ahead of…...

Shawn Siegele explores three races best-ball drafters have to win in 2024 and helps you hit the tape first with tactics from the RotoViz tools and research. The 2024 MFL10 of Death began last week in its 11th incarnation. This charity league organized by Pat Thorman includes 11 of my favorite fantasy analysts. As a one-off league with full-season scoring, it allows fantasy’s best minds…...

In the past, we’ve looked at big gap and small gap running backs to identify undervalued players based on their ADP. The idea comes from Jack Miller’s research on the win and hit rates for big or small gap backs, and from similar research by Charlie Kleinheksel before that. First, let’s define our terms: B1 and B2 running backs refer to a team’s RB1 and…...

These names are the most incorrectly valued assets in fantasy football, they should be selected many rounds ahead of their current ADP. Shawn Siegele and Colm Kelly discuss the names that you can draft to smash their ADP and lead you to glory! Listen in to find out who!

Last week, I published my first set of 2024 projections on the site. In previous years, I have shared a note like the one below when introducing them for the first time each season. Creating accurate fantasy football projections is a time-consuming process, but it’s one that I’ve grown to appreciate. It’s an important part of my annual offseason preparation because it helps me understand…...

This side of Kyle Shanahan, there is no one in the NFL touted for their offensive genius quite like Sean McVay, who took over as the head coach of the Rams at the age of 30 in 2017 and immediately turned a troubled slog of an offense into a juggernaut. Truly, McVay and Shanahan are entwined, because they each served at the feet of the…...

Heading into the 2024 NFL draft with six of the top 100 picks, the Washington Commanders were in a prime position to rebuild their roster in a hurry. To the delight of fantasy owners, the team decided to kick off their rebuild by using four of their top 100 picks on the offensive side of the ball. With the second overall pick, the Commanders selected…...

We always talk about Perpetual Reloading, the Championship Window, and how to create a true dynasty in your fantasy football league. However, are some players so good and offer such a distinct advantage that you can roster them till they retire because they are untradable? Shawn Siegele and Colm Kelly debate whether Christian McCaffrey is the rule’s greatest exception. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 2:00 Is CMC

Shawn Siegele begins his 5 Crazy Prices series with a look at the FFPC Superflex best ball tournament. I wanted to start with the FFPC Superflex Best Ball Tournament as a follow-up to my recent Best Ball Workshop. In that strategy session, the Roster Construction Explorer exposed just how catastrophic conventional tactics have been . . . Conventional Tactics – FFPC SF Best Ball (2021-2023)…...

Over the last three months I’ve been working in collaboration with the RotoViz team to develop a tool to simulate Best Ball Mania (BBM) tournaments. This includes generating an original player pool for each “season,” simulating drafts, pulling fantasy scores from a weighted distribution, and finally adding up each team’s score using Underdog’s BBM roster settings. The simulation methodology includes injuries, bye weeks, quarterback changes,…...

Heading into the 2023 season, I revamped the Range of Outcomes app, one of our favorite tools on the site. We will spend some time considering its results in the coming months. If you are not familiar with the tool, I encourage you to quickly read through what I wrote last year and watch the tutorial video. 2023 Synopsis The RotoViz Range Of Outcomes tool…...

Rome Odunze was drafted by Chicago with the ninth overall pick, who bolstered their receiving corps after the Bears made Caleb Williams the first player picked in the 2024 NFL Draft. With D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen already on the roster, along with new running back addition D’Andre Swift, the Bears do not appear to be the best situation for a rookie to earn targets…....

In fantasy football, every roster slot counts. However, how should your TE depth chart be constructed and valued across different formats, such as TEP or PPR? Shawn Siegele and Colm Kelly discuss the many ideas to consider when making those choices and go over several instances where they use various valuations. Shawn also questions whether Lamar Jackson is worth the elite QB price tag, raising

We’ve discussed avoiding quarterbacks to the later rounds in Superflex Best Ball, but how does that affect how the final roster looks? That’s precisely what Shawn Siegele and Colm Kelly do when they put together a roster in the Underdog Fantasy Superflex Puppy. Plus, they selected two of the first three tight ends selected in the draft. How did the team turn out? Listen in to find out! Subscribe

Cautionary tales abound warning of the risks involved when dealing with unrequited love. Just turn on any Lifetime movie if you don’t believe me. As a fantasy football player, at times I have found myself to be just as irrational as any scorned lover in a made-for-TV movie. Being too quick to write off an underperforming player, and/or refusing to heed evidence that is contrary…...

On some podcast episodes, Shawn has noted — when lamenting the preponderance of late picks in his Best Ball Mania 5 portfolio — that if you don’t get a top-10 pick, you basically don’t have access to any first-round values. (Of course, that assumes a rational drafter takes Garrett Wilson ahead of ADP, leaving you with A.J. Brown as an ADP — but not rankings…...

Few players have been as breathtaking, mind-bending, and enigmatic in their rookie season as De’Von Achane was in 2023. A four-star recruit out of high school, Achane stayed in relative proximity to his suburban Houston upbringing, committing to Texas A&M and sitting behind Isaiah Spiller for the bulk of his first season, excelling in a limited role. By the time he made it to the…...
