Whether you plan on drafting your teams Zero RB, Zero WR, or good ole best available in 2015, there will come a point in time where you are going to want to invest in a deep sleeper. Someone who can provide much better value than their current ADP suggests, and can be easily cut if he does not. Here are three reasons to consider Chris Conley as that…...

After Jimmy Graham was traded to the Seahawks back in March, most people are expecting some kind of decline from the perennial stud tight end this season. He comes in as the TE3 in our collaborative projections, and Mike Braude thinks he’s a player to avoid if you want to win your PPR leagues this year. However, I think there is ample reason to believe that Graham…...

In case you haven’t been following too closely (read: if you have lives outside of fantasy), the staff here at RotoViz has been using the Projection Machine to power some of the Apps on the site. One of the teams under a lot of scrutiny right now is the Denver Broncos. Be it the supposed decline of Peyton Manning or the impact of Gary Kubiak, they…...

When Antonio Gates was suspended by the league for four games, everyone’s immediate reaction was to invest in Ladarius Green. However, as I said on the latest RotoViz Report, this should be a cue to draft Keenan Allen. I figured it would be good to flesh out the argument I made for him. Allen is Already a Big Part of the Offense Instead of investing in a player we think should…...

Not all touches are created equal. You’ve probably heard this before if you have played fantasy football for any length of time. For running backs in particular, there are two situations fantasy owners keep track of: third downs and in the red-zone. Just how important are those touches, and can it tell us anything for 2015? That’s precisely what I set out to discover…. Membership...

It’s time. Joseph Randle is being drafted too high, and somebody has to say something about it. I’ve read all the stories, I’ve heard all the arguments for him to be a great success this year, but as RB27 off the board in recent MFL10’s and RB21 on Fantasy Football Calculator, people are paying too high a price. It’s time to convince you to stay away…...

What if I told you that there was a running back out there who was a super-efficient receiver last season, saw a tremendous decline in price, and should still have a big role this season? Would you be interested in drafting that RB? Here are four reasons to draft Theo Riddick. Riddick’s Receiving Efficiency If you are looking to draft Riddick at all this season, the…...

“‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate” I feel very little shame in saying that Taylor Swift may get how I feel about the Jets receivers better than anyone else on planet Earth. Right now it seems that people are afraid to draft them due to concerns about the Jets as a franchise. As…...

Everyone loves rookies when it comes to fantasy football. Let’s face it, owning a rookie player is fun for all the same reasons it’s fun for fans and owners of NFL teams: they’re young, they’re exciting, and the unknown tends to favor all of our daydreams of highlight-reel touchdowns and fantasy championships. While I think that oftentimes rookies can be a value in redraft formats,…...

Shane Vereen was a player I adored as a member of the New England Patriots. A terrific receiver, he was an excellent PPR player, recording a RB20 finish in that format last season. Now that he is no longer with the team, the Patriots have a few different players with which they could fill that role. Since it has made Vereen a viable fantasy option, we…...

A.J. Green is overrated right now in dynasty leagues. I said it, and I’m not taking it back. While Green has reigned supreme in re-draft and dynasty formats for a few seasons, I think that it is time for owners to sell. Of course, I wouldn’t say something like this without being able to back it up. Here’s why Green owners need to get out now…. Membership...

If you’ve done any My Fantasy League MFL10’s this season, you know that the talent can really thin out at the end of a 20 round draft. This is true especially at wide receiver, a position where most teams have at least six players, and usually more. As a result, there are countless selections wasted at the end of every draft, “what the heck” picks…...

There may not be a more muddled backfield in the NFL than the New York Jets’. Finding fantasy value in Chan Gailey’s new offense seems like a difficult task. However I think there is some solid value in an old friend of ours here at RotoViz: Zac Stacy…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member?

Arian Foster has been a staple of the running back position for five years. Entering his age 29 season, many people are starting to doubt the veteran back, and he is slipping to the second round as the ninth RB drafted. I think that this is a big mistake, and that Foster is a player to target in all drafts at that price…. Membership Required You must...

Dynasty leagues never end. If you’re like me, you’re constantly looking for trades, free agent pick-ups, and other ways to improve your team. Since the fantasy stock market is constantly shifting in value, it becomes a constant effort to buy low and sell high. Fortunately here at RotoViz, we have an app that shows how leagues are valuing players right now. Using our Dynasty ADP…...

Trusting a rookie tight end is a risky endeavor. The facts given by James Todd paint a bleak picture for any first year tight end. Be that as it may, I think that if one rookie TE in recent history has a shot to break through that wall and be productive, it is the Ravens’ Maxx Williams. Here’s why: Lack of Competition One of the biggest…...

It is common in dynasty leagues to see bias towards younger players. After all, they are usually flashier and brimming with “potential.” On the flip side of that, older players tend to be left for dead, considered “washed up” once they hit a certain age. Sometimes, that bias can slip into redraft formats as well. I think we are seeing that right now with Calvin Johnson…....

What a difference a year can make. Last season, San Francisco 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick was going off the board at QB10 in redraft leagues. Not an incredibly sterling endorsement, but there were many who thought he had a world of upside, including our own Fantasy Gumshoe, who postulated that Kaepernick would be a top five QB in 2014. Fast forward a year, and, after a disappointing season,…...
