In my previous piece, I touched on three quarterbacks who have favorable early-season schedules, which you should target if you are looking to stream the position. The late-round quarterback approach continues to grow in popularity each season. Later round options cost less in terms of draft capital and can afford you a comparable floor/ceiling to more expensive options. In this piece, I’m using the Strength…...

Dave Caban compares RotoViz Ultimate Rankings to Running Back ADP and identifies the player whose ADP fails to account for his massive workload. Over the course of the last couple of months, I’ve built projections for every NFL team, explored historically-based range of outcome projections, and helped to create our RotoViz redraft rankings. Each exercise played an important role in shaping my overall view of the 2020 fantasy…...

Last season, Miles Sanders’ ADP fell throughout July, and he temporarily dropped behind Jordan Howard before launching again in the final run-up to the season. In 2018, Nick Chubb’s ADP fell consistently throughout draft season as it became clear that Carlos Hyde was going to begin the season as the starter. Chubb wasn’t even the second Cleveland running back selected, as drafters assumed the Browns would continue to…...

Auction drafts are easy to “win” but even easier to “lose.” In this series, Dave Caban will overview the preparation, thought processes, and in-auction strategies needed to ensure that you’re ready for the intensity and challenges auctions will throw at you and are poised to leave your draft with a contender. As promised in Part 2, we’re finally going to prepare for an auction. If…...

Kareem Hunt is poised to be a fantasy factor in 2020 no matter what. In a training camp scare on Monday, Nick Chubb left the field to be evaluated for a concussion after a run-in with linebacker Mack Wilson. Thankfully, Chubb appears to be okay, though I’m sure to team will be careful easing him back in. The situation is a perfect reminder of Kareem Hunt’s league-winning fantasy upside in…...

We’ve all had that experience where we’re on a guy but he falls in a range with a couple of our other targets. You’re always thinking he’ll come back around to you, but somehow he never does. Someone always grabs him just a slot or two before your pick. And then, of course, that’s the player who ends up with a win rate around 17%…....

The Clyde Edwards-Helaire rocket ship has gone screaming into the first round. He’s primed to have a league-winning impact as a rookie, even at those lofty prices, but should you also be drafting his doppelgangers at the end of your fantasy football drafts? Once Damien Williams opted out of the 2020 season, the last impediment disappeared to a monster rookie campaign from Edwards-Helaire. Drafters responded…....

As we inch closer to the start of the season, many redraft leagues start to have their seasonal drafts. Regardless of your league format, one of the many roster decisions you will have to make is when to take a quarterback. There seem to be two major trains of thought in single quarterback leagues: pay up for an elite option (Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes) or…...

Shawn Siegele explains why he departed from his patented WR-heavy tactics in a high-stakes expert draft. What did it take for him to break his cardinal rules? Running back tactics are always a flash point in fantasy football discussions. This week, Colm Kelly and I had Scott Barrett on RotoViz Overtime to explain why he’s going Bell Cow or Bust in 2020. That provides a…...

The Draft Dashboard is a powerful tool to prepare for drafts and dominate the real thing. Can we put together an entire team of players from explosive offenses without having to reach? Last year’s look at drafting a team entirely from explosive offenses was a reader favorite, so we’re bringing it back for 2020. It’s a fun thought experiment in draft strategy, and it lets…...

Curtis Patrick says a Marquise Brown fantasy mega-breakout is coming in 2020 and he has a decade’s worth of research to back it up. Despite his smallish stature and a foot injury that derailed his rookie evaluation process, the Baltimore Ravens selected Marquise Brown in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. His shiftiness and blazing speed appeared to be a perfect fit for a…...

Friday was a sad day for Derrius Guice owners, and a sadder day for Guice, but Antonio Gibson acolytes continue to reap the benefits of being all-in on a back rocketing toward the Clyde Edwards-Helaire/Jonathan Taylor tier. Our devy guru, Travis May, was on Gibson even before the combine, ranking him as must-buy for early startups. Jack Miller recently covered Gibson as one of two…...
