Conor O’Driscoll uses the RotoViz suite of tools to identify opportunities to buy low on players likely to post strong fantasy performances, and to help you see red flags before your opponents notice. The Strength of Schedule (SOS) Streaming App is particularly useful for this as it allows us to see which players have the easiest or most difficult upcoming schedules, a potentially league-winning edge.
Last week I went with a different focus in the article and it resulted in a bigger spread of players. DeSean Jackson looked great on Thursday as he repeatedly torched the Cowboys’ secondary with big yardage receptions while also drawing huge pass interference calls. The Colts continued to funnel targets to tight ends against the Bills, with Dawson Knox leading the team in targets with 10. Rob Gronkowski draws the dream Colts match-up this week. Myles Gaskin gave a very usable week against one of the weakest defenses in the NFL. The lack of efficiency means that he could get the hook at any time, however, and new signing Phillip Lindsay could certainly eat into his workload.
The trade deadline has passed in most redraft and dynasty leagues at this point, but there are still schedule-based opportunities to take advantage of. A lot of defensive-matchup-based analysis is done without accounting for who those defenses have played. The RotoViz Strength of Schedule (SOS) Streaming App adjusts these points conceded by the strength of the offenses they’ve played, giving you a clear edge.
