Back in August and September, when the world seemed a much nicer place, people took to their fantasy draft rooms and committed their 2016 futures to a whole host of players. Some players under performed. Here, focusing on wide receivers, we will look at five high flyers who fell to earth, and look at how likely they all are to repeat last year’s failures. Will…...

A wise man once said that “the past is the teacher of the future.” At least, I think a wise man once said it. I might actually have made it up, in which case it was certainly not said by a wise man. But I digress. Sometimes we can make bold predictions that, when looked back at on some future date, can make us seem like…...

Already missing Kevin White (injury) and Alshon Jeffrey (suspended after testing positive for perhaps the worst performance enhancing drugs of all time), the Chicago Bears have added rookie wide receiver Daniel Braverman to the active roster, hoping to reinforce a wide receiver corps that dropped an obscene number of passes against the Titans on Sunday…....

As the 2016 season draws towards its inexorable conclusion, thoughts begin to turn towards the 2017 fantasy season…well, mine have. If you had my redraft teams, yours would too…....

In a week in which running backs went down with injury in a way so systematic that the hand of the Terminator may have been suspected (He will not stop), the Detroit Lions and Ameer Abdullah did not escape unscathed…....

The Cleveland Browns have been fielding calls from multiple teams interested in trading for wide receiver Josh Gordon, according to reports. Observers like Tony Grossi believe that the team may be engaging in a little fiction writing regarding this situation, and the team has been quite quick to say they are not looking to trade Gordon. While this may be true, and they are not actively looking…...

BLAZING HOT TAKE. The Eagles wide receiver corps is not a terribly impressive unit. I’ll give you a moment to compose yourselves after this staggering revelation, but they really aren’t. Heading into training camp, Jordan Matthews is the established leader of the unit, with Rueben Randle, Nelson Agholor and Chris Givens competing for playing time. The Eagles took a chance on Dorial Green-Beckham this week, but…...

The battle for the tight end spot with the Giants was supposed to be between Larry Donnell and Will Tye. But suddenly, a new name has entered the equation. Just who is Matt LaCosse, and can he join his stablemates in having some fantasy appeal on Big Blue’s roster? LaCosse left Illinois after a 2014 season that saw him play in just seven games, in which he…...

As of now, July 28th 2016, Travaris Cadet’s biggest impact on the fantasy football landscape is the ongoing battle between people who’ll call him Tavaris and the people who’ll call him Travis. But with the New Orleans Saints, there are few insuperable barriers keeping him from seeing regular playing time. If these walls were to come crashing down, would he have any fantasy appeal? The…...

In the most annoying ongoing storylines of the offseason contest, Ryan Fitzpatrick’s contract wrangles[1]Which thankfully wrapped up earlier this week with the Jets leads “Deflategate” by a nose (according to an unofficial poll), but third place belongs to the weight of a certain Green Bay Packers running back, namely Eddie Lacy….

How many mock drafts have you participated in that have been ruined by people not staying the whole course, or worse still drafting in a manner not in keeping with the spirit of the activity? You know the sort of people, they draft kickers or Tim Tebow in round one. But what if I told you there was a way to formulate your draft strategy…...

After growing stale with the Chicago Bears, the professionally disgruntled Martellus Bennett faces a fresh start in his NFL career after landing in New England with the Patriots. MFL10 owners seem to have high hopes that this change of scene will help Bennett attain a degree of fantasy relevancy in 2016, but the RotoViz projections bros are not so sure. According to the RotoViz MFL…...

There are only 11 running backs averaging a higher salary in 2016 than Shane Vereen. I’ll just let that sink in for a second. Shane Vereen, a man who hasn’t scored a rushing touchdown since December 2014, whose sole 100-yard rushing performance came in Week 1 of 2013. The 12th highest paid running back in football. Sometimes you don’t get what you pay for, and…...

A new head coach, and yet another offensive coordinator, have entered Ryan Tannehill’s life in Miami. Tannehill has shown a few growing pains as he adjusts to another new offense, occasionally inaccurate and inconsistent. But many prominent thinkers within the game think that 2016 will be a breakout year for the fifth year man…and so does Brady Quinn. We don’t like to say breakout, but RotoViz…...

In the course of compiling seasonal projections for Rotoviz, it was possible to identify a number of players on whom the opinions of those who contribute to this site, and those of the general fantasy playing public, somewhat differ. One such player is Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin. After missing the entire 2015 season after tearing his ACL during training camp, Benjamin is back…...

Since the world first experienced the joys of MFL10s, the early drafts of this best ball format have offered the fantasy community insight into how players and positions will be thought of in later, traditional redrafts. To check the most recent average draft position data, look no further than the Rotoviz Best Ball ADP App. Continue on for a brief history of ever-evolving MFL10 strategy. With the Zero…...

Going into a season having lost one of the best wide receivers of the last 15 years is hardly a situation quarterbacks should aspire to experience, but that is what Matt Stafford faces in 2016. With Calvin Johnson no longer a Detroit Lion, has he taken Stafford’s fantasy appeal off into the sunset with him? As simple and easy as it would be to say “yes”,…...

There are three stages of player acquisition in the NFL calendar. First comes free agency, where teams go out of their way to pay big money to players that their original team didn’t want any more. Then there is the draft, where the next generation of stars come off the assembly line. The third comes straight after, with the signing of players who were not…...
