Kevin Szafraniec highlights 12 players who represent landmines for redraft rosters at almost any cost, plus 13 other players who aren’t far behind them. It always feels better to be an optimist than a pessimist. But sometimes there is no helping a bad situation.

Never Chase Your Zero RB Winners, Right? Even for a Young, Supercharged Version of Aaron Jones?

What would you pay for a young, supercharged version of Aaron Jones, especially if he labored for one of the NFL’s best offenses? For years, I’ve forced myself to avoid Zero RB hits during their follow-up seasons. After all, taking the next step and becoming a 350-point sensation requires a mix of attributes that is incredibly difficult to deliver. Of course, it’s always tempting to…...

When Rules of Thumb Fail: Winning the Next War

Shawn Siegele argues that occasionally simple rules of thumb end up not being so simple. Understanding the trajectory for players as they move through the NFL can be very important. That’s one of the reasons I so frequently reference Blair’s groundbreaking WR age series. It’s also helpful to understand the role that draft slot plays in establishing a baseline for a player’s likely usage. While…...

Third Breakout’s the Charm: An Unsexy WR Set for a Stefon Diggs-Level Mid-Career Leap

Shawn Siegele examines a veteran star with perhaps the most bizarre ADP in all of fantasy. Stefon Diggs entered the NFL as probably the most hyped RotoViz sleeper in the site’s history, and he proceeded to play quite well during his first five seasons. He averaged over 200 points per season from 2016 to 2019 and constantly flirted with WR1 status. This was still a…...

Caleb Williams Needs More Than a Coaching Change to Turn Things Around in Chicago, But There May Still Be Hidden Value in the Bears’ Offense

Kevin Szafraniec breaks down how the arrival of Ben Johnson in Chicago will alter the Bears’ approach in 2025 and explains why it may be wise to temper expectations for a wholesale turnaround from Caleb Williams and company in Year 1.

2025’s Ultimate Big Gap Backfield Hack: Can Derrick Henry Defy History Again?

We’ve examined six small gap backfields in two previous articles, including three with rookies adding to the uncertainty and the one team with three rushers inside the top 150 in ADP. 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…...

A Secondary Breakout Will Help This Controversial WR Follow in the Footsteps of DeAndre Hopkins, CeeDee Lamb, and Amon-Ra St. Brown

Shawn Siegele explores the profile of a controversial 2025 wide receiver option. Is he an overrated cult favorite in a ready-made bust situation, or is he the most important fantasy WR in all of football? After the first 10 WRs are off the board in 2025, we have very limited options for additional, non-rookie WRs who might join that group in 2026. Fortunately, we do…...

This De’Von Achane Clone Is Set to Blow the Lid Off Fantasy Leagues in 2025 As His Price Slide Finally Ends

Shawn Siegele explains why we’re poised to get a league-winning performance from a young RB with breathtaking speed and elite receiving ability. In 2023, De’Von Achane was taken with the 84th pick of the NFL draft and went on to blow the lid off fantasy leagues in Weeks 2 through 4.

Quantity Over Quality: How Alvin Kamara Can Help You Extract Value From the Saints’ Offensive Wasteland

Kevin Szafraniec explains why there will be a thin path to success for a rebuilding Saints’ roster in 2025, but their top fantasy assets still have a chance to deliver through quantity, if not by quality. Since Drew Brees retired in 2021, the Saints have been perpetuating a rebuild, often at the expense of their salary cap via contract restructures and stopgap signings. To be…...

Your Best Bet for a 350-Point RB Season Doesn’t Come In Round 1: Landing the New Jamaal Charles

Shawn Siegele makes the case for a dark horse back to take down overall RB1 honors and dominate tournament leaderboards in 2025. In Week 14 of the 2013 season, Jamaal Charles scored 59 fantasy points even though he rushed only eight times for 20 yards. Instead, he gained 195 yards on eight receptions, scoring on receptions of 49, 39, 16, and 71 yards. He added…...
