Dynasty Startup Mock: Our Most Controversial Selections

In Part 1 we debated going for the championship in Year 1 and looked at the role of WRs after 2016’s RB Revival. In Part 2 we’ll examine the draft’s most controversial picks before concluding with our own roster evaluations in Part 3…....

NFL Draft Prospect Evaluations: A Primer

NFL draft season is here, and with it comes the senior bowl, the combine, and pro days. We’ll be cranking out prospect evaluations galore, which I think you’ll enjoy. To help you get the most out of our evaluations, I put together this primer…....

2017 Draft: The Junior Wide Receivers Are Better Than Advertised

Since we began working on wide receivers with the birth of RotoViz in 2013, we’ve written hundreds of articles on the position. Most of them arrive at the same conclusion: Understanding age-adjusted market share production allows you to hack the NFL’s evaluation process and get tremendous bargains at the position…....

3 WR Sleeper Prospects for the 2017 Draft

During our hybrid Bowl Preview/Draft Prospect series, I covered two of the more interesting sleepers in Keevan Lucas and Trent Taylor. Both players then went out and lit up their respective bowls…....

2017 Draft Prospect Preview: Artavis Scott

Artavis Scott will take the field in the national championship game against Alabama with 242 career catches. In securing two catches for 16 yards against Ohio State, he eclipsed Sammy Watkins for the all-time lead at Clemson…....

2017 Draft Prospect Preview: James Quick

Wide receiver James Quick will lead a balanced Louisville passing attack as they look to defeat LSU in the Citrus Bowl. The 6-foot-0, 180-pound senior was the leading recipient of Lamar Jackson’s brilliance with 688 receiving yards, one of four players to go for 590-plus…....

2017 Prospect Preview: Trent Taylor

Trent Taylor will take the field in the Armed Forces Bowl with 1,570 receiving yards, third most in the nation. His 3,946 career receiving yards rank No. 13 overall since 2000. With production like this, why is he likely to go undrafted this spring?…...

2017 Prospect Preview: Zach Pascal

Zach Pascal will lead Old Dominion into the Bahamas Bowl against Eastern Michigan on December 23. The redshirt senior enters the game with 3,145 career receiving yards and finished with back-to-back 100-yard contests after a slow middle of the season…....

2017 Draft Prospect Preview: Taywan Taylor

On December 20th, Taywan Taylor takes his 1,586 receiving yards and 16 TDs to the Boca Raton Bowl. He’ll be joined by Nicholas Norris who has 1,253 yards and 13 TDs in his own right…....

Draft Prospect Preview: Michael Roberts, TE, Toledo

According to College Football Reference, 31 players have scored double-digit receiving touchdowns in 2016. Toledo’s 6-foot-4, 270-pound tight end Michael Roberts ranks No. 6 with 15 scores. He’ll join his Rockets teammates in the Camellia Bowl on December 17th vs. Appalachian St…....

Projecting All 32 NFL Backfields for 2017

It’s never too early to start planning for 2017, and a big part of that is knowing which running backs to target and which to sell as the offseason approaches. While such a quixotic endeavor is sure to miss on many projections, it’s an exercise that allows me to get a feel for both free agency and the coming NFL draft…....

RB Watch List Week 14: The Playoffs Are Here

It was a brutal week at the running back position. Todd Gurley, Matt Forte, Wendell Smallwood, Mark Ingram, Rashad Jennings, Kenneth Dixon, James Starks, Tim Hightower, Dion Lewis, and Theo Riddick all recorded fewer than five expected points in the running game (ruEP). …...

Using the RotoViz Screener to Examine WR Expected Points

Every week I use the RotoViz Screener to craft the RB Watch List. It’s an incredible tool that allows you to search for all kinds of information, and I sometimes lose hours poring over the different screens and sifting data in different ways…....

Where Will the 2017 Class Fit in the Dynasty Top 100?

Recently I published my midseason dynasty rankings, looking at the top 50 in Part 1 and 51 to 100 in Part 2. Many leagues currently have a moratorium on trades, but others have no such limitations. Our evaluations of players likely to go in the 2017 NFL draft are obviously preliminary, but making informed trades requires some sense of future value…....

The Contrarian: Mid-Season Dynasty Rankings: 51-100

Dynasty rankings are complicated by the very different objectives owners have this time of the year. This gets exaggerated when we move out of the elite range and are suddenly dealing with more extreme player types: young players with a wide range of outcomes, veterans on the decline, mid-career players who offer steady points but minimal marginal value…....
