This Cheap Underdog Hack Allows You to Create a Dominant Advantage at All Positions

August 10, 2023

Shawn Siegele explores the evidence for a cheap Underdog hack that helps you dominate all positions and pushes your advance rates through the roof.

When Colm Kelly and I draft our RotoViz Overtime squads, we tend to emphasize Zero RB constructions that include Elite TE builds. The WR-heavy approach dominated 2022, and top TEs often give you a trump card through the playoffs even when the original advance rates aren’t as strong. But Colm and I also love to try crazy constructions, especially if the evidence suggests 2023 could be wildly different.

Today’s Underdog Workshop will look at one of these unusual squads. The creative draft combined elements from my priority player picks (Best Picks in Each Round) and strategy lessons (How to Dominate With Hyperfragile). But the trump card was an under-employed cheat code from the Underdog Roster Construction Explorer that allowed us to counterattack when blocked by our opponents and end up with a squad that dominates all positions.

Shawn Siegele November 18, 2024

GUIL: It must be indicative of something, besides the redistribution of wealth. List of possible explanations. One: I’m willing it. Inside where nothing shows, I am the essence of a man spinning double-headed coins, and betting against himself in private atonement for an unremembered past … Two: time has stopped dead, and the single experience of one coin being spun once has been repeated ninety…...

Shawn Siegele November 13, 2024

The RotoViz-approved Zero RB options had a big week with Chase Brown, Bucky Irving, and Tyrone Tracy. Each member of the trio scored 17-plus points and all rank among the top-15 RBs across the last five contests. Last week I noted that a lot of the top RBs were relying on efficiency in a way that was certainly reflective of their fantastic performances but was…...
