Analyzing 6 Years of Route and Target Data to Identify TE Values and Fades For 2025: TE Advanced Stats Deep Dive, Part 1

Kevin Szafraniec April 2, 2025

When it comes to fantasy football, receiving production at running back, wide receiver, and tight end is the backbone of strong roster construction. While counting stats such as yards, receptions, and touchdowns helps to tell the story, delving deeper can help fantasy managers identify breakouts before they occur, rather than reacting to last year’s trends. That is where RotoViz’s Advanced Stats Explorer comes in. With…...

This Unheralded WR’s Rookie Season Stacks Up With Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey, But Can He Sustain Enough Opportunity to Realize the Upside?

Kevin Szafraniec April 1, 2025

The NFL draft always gives us a few future stars who weren’t household names when they entered the league. If you’ve been playing fantasy long enough, you remember what a force Brandon Marshall was. You might not remember he was only a fourth-round pick, and played sparingly in his rookie year before exploding over the next few seasons. His former teammate Alshon Jeffery was drafted…...

Will This 2024 Rookie WR Put His First Season Behind Him and Follow in Drake London’s Footsteps?

Kevin Szafraniec March 26, 2025

After being selected by Atlanta with the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Drake London put up a solid rookie season despite dealing with poor quarterback play in a run-heavy Arthur Smith offense. Smith was fired after a 2023 season in which the Falcons experienced similar offensive limitations. The freedom of a new offense in 2024 enabled London to make a leap and…...

Can This Star Among Stars in the 2024 Rookie WR Class Reach Justin Jefferson’s Level?

Kevin Szafraniec March 25, 2025

During the 2020 NFL Draft, Justin Jefferson watched wide receivers Henry Ruggs III, Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, and Jalen Reagor all come off the board before he was selected by the Vikings with the 22nd pick. If we were to draft the entire class over again today, the only player that would be competing with Jefferson to be the top overall pick would be Joe…...

Can This 2024 Rookie Running Back Become the Next Rachaad White?

Corbin Young March 18, 2025

We love it when running back prospects come into the NFL with a juicy receiving profile. That’s the case with Rachaad White, who garnered a ridiculous 22% receiving share in his final collegiate season. White played on a Buccaneers team with Leonard Fournette as the lead rusher and receiver, though the rookie ate into the veteran’s workload. Tom Brady played his final season during White’s…...

5 Cheap Rookie Wide Receivers Who Are Going To Explode in the Fantasy Playoffs

Michael Dubner August 27, 2024

Scoring the most fantasy points in the fantasy playoffs seems obvious and straightforward, yet it can be tempting to get Week 1 brain with the NFL season rapidly approaching. While the 14-week fantasy football regular season accounts for 82% of the games played, all weeks are not created equal, as Weeks 16 and 17 matter more than the first 14 weeks combined. Drafting rosters with…...

Kevin Szafraniec August 27, 2024

It is often said that quarterback is the most important position in all of sports. A statement like that makes it not all that surprising when the perception of an offense changes following the move from a potential Hall-of-Fame QB to an inconsistent journeyman. In the past two seasons we have seen two situations where the departure of a pillar at the QB position, and…...

Bjorn Yang-Vaernet August 26, 2024

Bjorn Yang-Vaernet explores the nuances of the Elite-QB roster construction strategy for Underdog best ball tournaments in 2024 After a whole summer of drafting best ball teams on Underdog, I’ve come to love Rounds 4 and 5 because I can draft elite QBs.

Michael Dubner August 18, 2024

In the increasingly competitive world of best ball and playoff tournament-style fantasy football, one of the most powerful edges lies in constructing rosters that peak during the fantasy playoffs — a concept known as back-weighted production. Rookie wide receivers, who often see their production rise as the season progresses, provide a unique opportunity to capitalize on this edge. In 2023 alone, we saw several rookies…...
