2017 NFL Draft Prop Bet Cheat Sheet

Hey, now you can (legally) wager on the NFL draft in Las Vegas! With the draft right around the corner, let’s take a quick dive into the available prop bets. I pulled 30 years of NFL draft data from Pro Football Reference and made some visualizations to explore historical draft trends, focusing specifically on data relevant to the props available at William Hill US and…...

Visualizing Market Share and Age: 5 Late Round Receivers to Watch

Visualizing Market Share And Age: 2017 Wide Receivers, Summary View

Market share and player age are very important factors to consider when projecting wide receivers from college to the NFL. RotoViz has done some great work highlighting the importance of these pieces of information on a prospect’s outlook as a pro (see Kevin Cole’s work using decision trees and Jon Moore’s articles on market share and age). In that spirit, I’m going to take a look…...

NFL Combine Trends Over Time

It’s NFL combine time! In the spirit of the season, and building on the rich history of both pre-draft scouting and data visualization here at RotoViz, I took a look at historical trends in several combine metrics, focusing specifically on offensive skill position players…....

RotoViz Mock Auction 2016: Complete Results And Strategic Insights

The Setup Mock auction drafts can be a great way to gauge players’ values and test out different budget allocation strategies, but really: they can be a huge pain in the ass. They take FOREVER, because nobody thinks to bid in more than $1 increments and always as the auction clock is expiring. And we’ve all been in mocks where somebody is test-driving their “How…...

Rookies Realize Greater Market Shares Under Some NFL Coaches Than Others

Predicting the performance of a player in the NFL with any degree of accuracy is challenging, which is why most of us aren’t DFS millionaires right now. Predicting how a rookie will perform in his first NFL season is even more difficult, given the relative lack of historical data on that player’s performances at the highest level of competition…....

12 Writers Dish on the RotoViz Writers Auction

Let’s Get it Started – Mike Beers Countless articles on fantasy football strategy have been published this summer, and I would take the under on one percent of them being dedicated to auction drafts. At their core, standard drafts and auction drafts are both about the same thing: constructing a roster which puts you in the best position to win your league. However, executing on…...

Testing The Bigger Is Better Hypothesis For Wide Receiver Production

  A lot has been written here and elsewhere about wide receiver size, and whether big wide receivers are more productive than smaller WRs. We know that heavier WRs tend to accrue more yards than their lighter counterparts, even after controlling for draft position. We also know that WRs taller than 6 feet 2 inches accounted for a majority of the double-digit touchdown reception seasons…...

Is It Riddick-ulous To Expect A Breakout for Theo Riddick?

I really want to see Theo Riddick be successful. He plays for the Detroit Lions, my favorite team. He was a sixth round pick in 2013, so he’s got that underdog thing going for him. His huge performances in weeks 6 and 8 last year really helped out a few of my MFL10 teams. And to be honest, I think his name is pretty bad ass…...

Denard Robinson Fantasy Update: Is He a Player to Target in 2015?

  I’ll be honest: when I saw Denard Robinson playing quarterback at the University of Michigan, I never thought he looked like a QB. He was scary fast and elusive, but he was tiny! At the 2013 Combine, he measured 5 feet 10inches and 199 pounds., which would have made him the smallest QB to enter the draft since 2010. Still, he was one of…...

Analyzing the RB Depth Charts So You Don’t Have To: NFC West

Make sure to take a look at the overviews of the NFC North, South, and East. Today’s focus will be on the backfields in the hard-hitting NFC West. Arizona Cardinals RBs: Andre Ellington, Stepfan Taylor, Jonathan Dwyer, Jalen Parmele, Zach Bauman Bruce Arians likes to throw the ball, and then throw the ball some more. Who wouldn’t, when you’ve got Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd as…...
