In the wake of the Jordy Nelson injury, there are sure to be a few changes in Green Bay. For most, the conversation will center around Davante Adams, whose stock will certainly see a boost with Nelson out. However, I think this will also be a major plus for Randall Cobb. He may even crack the top tier of WRs. What Cobb Has Done Before we talk about what…...

If you don’t know it already, there is no website on earth more dedicated to the deep dynasty sleeper than RotoViz. And it isn’t without direction. Even if it takes some time, a few of these players have worked out in a big way for dynasty owners. One of those players worth updating you on right now is Gus Johnson. What’s New Gus? After initially being signed…...

During the most recent Numbers Game Podcast,[1]Which, if you don’t already subscribe to, you’re doing yourself a disservice Kevin Cole and Matthew Freedman had a very interesting discussion on the contingent value of players. What it boiled down to was that there are plenty of players every year who don’t appear to have great value in their current settings. However, they happen to have a…...

Davante Adams is a player we had high hopes for this summer at the ‘Viz. After being the WR5 in our post-draft rookie rankings last season, we were hopeful that Randall Cobb would leave the Packers in free agency, opening up opportunity for Adams as a sophomore. Unfortunately, that did not materialize. However, I still think Adams is an exceptional target in re-draft leagues this year. Here’s why…....

Jonathan Stewart is one of those players that will always scare off fantasy owners. After being a first round draft pick in 2008, he has only managed to crack 1,000 yards once, and has dealt with some injuries along the way. However, I think 2015 marks a chance to finally get some value off of Stewart, and that he is being overlooked right now. DeAngelo Williams…...

There appears to be as little agreement on the first overall pick in 2015 as there ever has been. When I wrote my 24 Championship Building Blocks series, I noted that there exists an argument for Rob Gronkowski as not just a high first round pick, but perhaps the first overall selection. Today I would like to make that argument. Positional Dominance Any pro-Gronk argument has…...

When I first broke down the concept of Situational Touches, I focused solely on player production and output. From this piece, I received some questions on how a player’s Situational Touches related to his team’s total, and if that was relevant. I also wanted to take a look at team totals to see if we could draw some more conclusions for 2015. Well it took…...

When Fantasy Douche went over the outlook of Sammy Watkins back in May, he came to the conclusion that the sophomore wide receiver was a little over-valued as WR18 off the board. Two months later, and Watkins has fallen to WR24. After a summer littered with questions about Watkins and a dropoff in price, I think it’s finally time to ask: Are we too low…...

I’m going to do you a favor: If you don’t like to take risks, just stop reading now. Seriously, what I am going to propose to you in this piece is not for the faint of heart. You should draft Geno Smith. And not only that, in leagues where you don’t draft him, you should look to stream him as your starting QB. In real leagues…....

The time is finally here. That’s right, today I unveil the top six players I am looking to build around this summer. I’ve already covered players 7-12, 13-18, and 19-24. Here are the best of the best. No. 6 Marcus Mariota One of the biggest projected quarterback values is Marcus Mariota. He is our projected QB17 and owns a QB23 price tag. But I think we are…...

Last time, I provided you with players 19-24 and 13-18 that will help you stack titles in 2015. Today we dive into players 7-12. No. 12 Sam Bradford Sam Bradford is coming off of his second ACL tear in as many years. He’s never passed for 3,800 yards or exceeded 21 touchdown passes. So why am I willing to invest in him heavily in 2015? The answer…...

Last time, I provided you with players 19-24 that will help you stack titles in 2015. Here are players 13-18. No. 18 Devin Funchess After a pre-draft process that left some mixed opinions on Devin Funchess, I am ready to commit to the young player in drafts this summer. Last year, Shawn Siegele discovered the Three Holy Grail Components to WR Evaluation to be age, weight,…...

“You play to win the game.” – Herman Edwards The above is probably one of the most famous coach quotes of my generation. So enthusiastic, so powerful, so…obvious. But I think that when it comes to fantasy, sometimes we forget about why we play. We make it about making flashy picks or the exact opposite: trying to not look like a fool. When it comes…...
