Certain weeks can yield unforeseen dynasty game-changers this time of year, and well-anchored core beliefs about the coming season can suddenly feel precarious. The dynasty community is highly reactive to high-profile free agent signings at fantasy-relevant positions, but sudden shifts in the current only amplify our advantages.
RotoViz builds its evaluation primarily on specific combinations of highly predictive data that can point us toward a more accurate understanding of a player’s talent. Interpreting this data is not perfect, but talent is less variable and slower-changing than trying to pin down notoriously unpredictable team usage, particularly in dynasty leagues where the only bankable factor about the future is that personnel is on a revolving door year over year. Teams adding or subtracting late free agents can be scary, but we should remind ourselves that nothing about one player coming or going changes the talent makeup of another. So players we liked yesterday should be players we like today, even if we now can only hope their talent emerges in some future tomorrow.
This past Monday had its share of twists with two marquee signings, but one of the byproducts of these transactions is that the market value of some of our favorite dynasty stashes became more affordable. Here are two players we think might be worth looking for in a dynasty pawn shop near you.
