Welcome to Playoff DFS! Today I will break down both games on the two-game Sunday slate and the best ways to attack them from a DFS perspective, with a focus on small-field tournament play. We will see a large chunk of the field playing “cash” lineups in small-field tournaments. This presents a unique opportunity to play a lineup you would expect to see in a…...
We’re doing something a little different this week. While I will still include the team-level numbers for the Wild Card round, I want to start elsewhere. One of my favorite fantasy contests is the FFPC Playoff Challenge. Much of the strategy for that contest revolves around the game theory aspect — how do you fill your lineup with players who will score points and help…...

Shawn Siegele dives deep into the RotoViz tools and presents his game plan for attacking the 2024 FFPC Playoff contest. Perhaps no fantasy game is quite as fun to enter, discuss, and debate as the FFPC Playoff contest. You get to choose your own players without interference from other drafters, eliminating every excuse. You can win $500,000 in the course of a month instead of…...

If you were waiting on the playoff matchups to dive into the Underdog playoff drafts, they’re currently offering six different contest structures to drafters. In today’s exercise, we’ll work through the general tactics, the differences between the contests,…...
The Wrong Read has had many lives — first as a reflection on insights from the RotoViz podcasts; then as a freeform space for exploring a variety of metrics and strategies. It will likely continue in that latter function, but at least for now — in season — it’s an in-depth matchup lookahead article. Each week I’ll gather advanced stats from our tools — mainly…...
In week 18, monitoring news throughout the weekend is important because you will see teams resting players this week. This opens up values you would not see on a normal slate. The challenge is making sure the high-priced studs those values are allowing you to fit are going to be playing the entirety of the game. You should have zero doubt about playing time or…...

For most of the free footballing world, the 2023 fantasy football season is over. Titles have been won, belts have changed hands, and prize money is being collected. Fun times for the winners and those who did not taste triumph thoughts are already turning to next year. (Unless your league is playing in Week 18, of course, which, if so, I applaud and am baffled…...
Week 17 didn’t let off the brakes. Shawn Siegele shares some initial thoughts in the aftermath of one of the biggest roller coaster seasons ever. Fantasy football will break your heart . . . but in the best possible way. Ben and I finished Saturday night in third place overall in the FFPC Main Event. Unfortunately, we crashed and burned on the fantasy season’s final…...

RotoViz subscribers know that winning often hinges on meticulous analysis of various factors: player statistics, team dynamics, and even the whims of Mother Nature herself. Weather conditions, often overlooked, can play a pivotal role in any game’s outcome. A few of the most well-known and craziest examples include the Fog Bowl, the Tuck Rule Game, and the Ice Bowl. The NFL is unique in its…...

The pace of play at the team level is instructive in fantasy football. The faster a team is, the more plays they will tend to run. The more plays a team tends to run, the more players on those teams tend to score. Using the RotoViz Pace Tool, we can see the tendencies of every team in these areas so far in 2023. I toggled to…...
