NOTE: Our tools will be updated each week as soon as data from our stats provider is available. Generally, data from Sunday’s games will be available early Tuesday afternoon. For an immediate look at the games from the previous weekend, please check out our Monday Review tool which includes a collection of preliminary stats.
Last week I looked at a variety of Expected-Points-based metrics to determine which were the most stable from one week to the next and which were the most predictive of fantasy scoring in future weeks. However, fantasy football is not only a weekly game — in most formats your lineup won’t vary much from one week to the next. Also, for most of our fantasy…...
Shawn Siegele looks at all the top wide receiver performances from Week 16, including big games from Sterling Shepard, Diontae Johnson, and Steven Sims Jr. Championship weekend featured a title-winning fourth-down score from Tyler Boyd and monster performances from two legends. Michael Thomas and Julio Jones combined for 22 catches and 58 points. Beyond the three studs, the finals were littered with big performances from…...
Monty Phan wraps up the weekend of NFL action. For nearly four months every year, my wife puts up with a husband who is totally useless on Sundays, a slave to the Red Zone Channel and NBC Sunday Night Football. Just when the season crescendos to a climax – the fantasy playoffs – is when her patience nearly runs out. What’s she rewarded with? A…...
The 3 and Out uses several RotoViz Apps to uncover significant workload changes; league, team, and player-specific trends; and hidden but powerful statistics. Earlier in the week, Blair Andrews explained why we care about expected points. Today, we’ll take a quick look at 2019 expected points through a league-wide lens while continuing to determine how “normal” 2019 was. Once the offseason hits in earnest, we’ll…...
The 2019 NFL season is officially one game old. While that one game won’t live long in the memory of many, we have no reason to be angry. There will be plenty more in the weeks to come to satiate our desire for the game. With the majority of the teams still to take the field, here are some bold yet plausible predictions for the…...
We’ve talked a lot this offseason about the extremely low win rates that RBs return in the dead zone. It doesn’t matter if this is RB-heavy (RBx4) or balanced (WR-WR-RB-RB) or anything in between, drafting an RB in Rounds 3 or 4 hasn’t been a winning tactic. Why RBs Struggle in the Dead Zone There are several key reasons for these struggles. As Blair Andrews…...

This weekend, we closed the chapter on the NFL preseason and opened Pandora’s box with a flurry of roster cuts and transactions. Among running backs that saw preseason action, over half of them were waived, released, or placed on Injured Reserve on Sunday. For many players, Sunday’s roster cuts marked the end of their 2019 NFL seasons (practice squad action notwithstanding). However, a few fortunate…...
Shawn Siegele provides three draft hacks that will give you an edge as you try to win $500,000 in the fantasy football contest to end all fantasy football contests – the 2019 FFPC Main Event. In 2013, I won the NFFC Primetime overall championship. Another one of my teams finished second. During the years before and since, I’ve finished in the top 20 of national…...
The Texans desperately tried to finagle a starting-caliber offensive lineman from a Jadeveon Clowney deal on the eve of the season. After Bill O’Brien angled for starting center Justin Britt and right tackle Germaine Ifedi in talks with Seattle, Houston settled for a couple linebackers and a Seahawks third rounder for Clowney. The Seahawks opted for continuity. https://twitter.com/GermainX1/status/1167686163144085504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The Dolphins eventually pulled a couple first-round…...

You’ve read up on draft strategy, roster construction, sleepers, deep sleepers, and league-winners — by now, you definitely know who you want to draft — but knowing who not to draft is equally important. You need to know both the best and the worst picks in every round of 2019 fantasy football drafts to come out with the best team. After showing you my favorite…...
I’ve been in a handful of drafts this offseason with co-managers (including one with three other co-managers). One thing I’ve found myself doing in order to prepare to co-draft a fantasy team is to pick out my draft targets in each round. In most rounds there are only a handful of players I’m actually considering. So putting those targets down in writing has been helpful when strategizing…...
In the Update, we’re going to do something a little different than we’ve done in the past. Instead of a countdown, we’re placing the candidates into categories that will help you find players at different ADP levels who fit your personal draft plan. We’re also going to go with the short and sweet intro, mentioning that Zero RB posted a gaudy 14% win rate in…...
Every year, there are a handful of players whose selection leaves me scratching my head. Last year, I begged you not to draft D’Onta Foreman and his ruptured Achilles, which seems obvious looking back, but people were drafting him right up until opening weekend. The year before that, I implored you to avoid the trendy Martavis Bryant, and he finished as the WR50. This year, I…...
If you’ve been jumping the queue to draft Dante Pettis in the sixth round this summer, this article may not be for you. Then again, maybe it’s exactly what you need. Every year there are still some players getting a bit too much love while their cohorts with similar ranges of outcomes go at a discount. After all, as the Fantasy Douche explained years ago,…...
Shawn Siegele is known for Zero RB selections and WR breakout candidates. The breakouts fueled his overall title in the 2013 NFFC Primetime, and his 2018 breakout selections led to an 11th league title and top-15 finish. Today, he looks at the history of third-year WR breakouts, discusses the key indicators of fantasy success, and provides five options for your 2019 fantasy football drafts. We…...
We all have them. There are players we want, and then there are those that we just don’t. Sometimes, we just don’t believe the hype that everyone else seems to, and they for more money than you’re willing to pay in auction drafts.[1]The only way to draft. Sometimes a player’s injury history lands them on your “Do Not Draft” list. That’s what I’m focusing on…...
