Myles Gaskin Tries to Reverse a Late-Round RB Trend and Ja’Marr Chase Goes Supernova: Week 5 in Review
Blair Andrews
October 12, 2021
Blair Andrews examines a crazy week, including the Myles Gaskin performance that will hopefully silence doubters for good. Week 5 saw four different teams score over 40 points (and one of those teams still lost), and culminated in a come-from-way-behind, overtime win for the Ravens on Monday night with Lamar Jackson passing for 442 yards and four touchdowns. Despite that, it was a disappointing week…...
Can the Dolphins Redeem Themselves as Road Underdogs in Week 5? How to Use Expected Points and GLSP in DFS
Blair Andrews
October 10, 2021
Blair Andrews uses expected points and the Weekly GLSP app to find the best possible plays for DraftKings single-entry tournaments. Single-entry GPPs are the purest form of daily fantasy sports. If you aren’t playing in single-entry GPPs, you can never really know your true DFS skill level. Yes, it takes skill to construct a winning cash lineup. And it takes skill to construct an entire…...
Zero RB Watch List: AFC Week 5 – Edwards-Helaire Produces Despite Worrying Peripherals, and Darrel Williams Isn’t the Only AFC Backup Pushing for Work
Blair Andrews
October 6, 2021
Blair Andrews questions the perceived values of the Cleveland Browns running backs, offers some hope for Michael Carter drafters, and wonders what the New England Patriots are up to. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero RB owners. We’re just as focused on the…...
Jalen Reagor Woes, The Key Receiving Back Add Who Isn’t Cordarrelle Patterson, Plus Key QB Upgrades
Blair Andrews
October 5, 2021
The fireworks in Week 4 almost made up for the devastating injuries in Week 3. The Chiefs remembered Tyreek Hill was on their team, D.J. Moore made not one but two trips to the end zone, and Saquon Barkley looked like the player we were excited to draft second overall in 2020. Several other developments that might be just as important perhaps went unnoticed, however…....

Zero RB Watch List: AFC Week 3 – Devonta Freeman Returns, James White Never Left, and Derrick Henry Is Also Pretty Good I Guess
Blair Andrews
September 22, 2021
Blair Andrews uses the Weekly Stat Explorer, the RotoViz Screener, and the Advanced Stat Explorer to look into the future and determine which AFC backfields are ripe for shakeups ahead of Week 3. Are some of our favorite rookies ready to make the jump to lead back? Are some grizzled veterans getting too grizzled to be effective? Is Derrick Henry now a three-down back? Our…...

Zero RB Watch List: NFC Week 2 – Rookies Get Off to a Fast Start and Leonard Fournette Is Still the Worst
Blair Andrews

4 Days of FFPC Drafting Remain – Blair Andrews Provides His Favorite Targets in Every Round
Blair Andrews
September 8, 2021
Blair Andrews, the mind behind The Wrong Read, goes through his top targets in every round of a 20-round fantasy draft. Which Year 2 receivers are we targeting everywhere?

Drafters Are Still Paying Too Much for the Wrong Numbers: How You Can Exploit RB Advanced Stats in Your Draft – The Wrong Read, No. 73
Blair Andrews
August 25, 2021
Blair Andrews explores some of the advanced running back metrics available in the new Advanced Stats Explorer. Are drafters chasing the right stats when making draft day decisions? Or are certain metrics persistently undervalued?

Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, and Why Fantasy Football Doesn’t Have to Be That Hard: An Introduction to Some New (and Old) Advanced Wide Receiver Metrics
Blair Andrews
July 13, 2021
Blair Andrews examines some new advanced metrics in a massive correlation matrix. Should we still be focusing on the same statistics when predicting wide receiver performance? At RotoViz, we always aim to have the most advanced and predictive fantasy metrics in the industry. This means not only having access to many different metrics but also teasing out which metrics give us actual signal, and which…...
Running Back Draft Age Is Still Exploitable And It Provides an Earlier, Larger Edge Than You Might Think, The Wrong Read, No. 72
Blair Andrews
June 10, 2021
Blair Andrews revisits his research on running back draft age. Do younger RBs still provide an edge? Where does that edge come from? And which RBs should we be targeting in redraft and trading for in dynasty? We know, when looking for fantasy wide receiver prospects, younger is generally better. Does this hold for running back prospects? In the Wrong Read, No 30, I found…...
RotoViz TriFlex Dynasty and Why Trading Back Is a Win-Now Tactic – The Wrong Read, No. 71
Blair Andrews
May 30, 2021
The goal in any dynasty league is, or at least should be, to put yourself in what Shawn Siegele has called the Permanent Championship Window (PCW). Proponents of the PCW look at the debate between win-now and win-later strategies and ask, “why not both?” Suppose you could win in Year 1 … and also in Year 2, Year 3, and beyond. If winning now and…...
We Know We Want Young WRs, But Can Draft Age Help Us Win Rookie Drafts? The Wrong Read, No. 70
Blair Andrews
May 6, 2021
It’s not an overstatement to say we’re obsessed with age at RotoViz. This is especially true when it comes to wide receiver prospects. Breakout age is one of our favorite metrics. We always prefer receivers who declare early. And draft age has long been a key piece of our wide receiver evaluation. It’s been a few years since I’ve looked specifically at draft age, so…...
2 Freakish Receivers Make Waves in the Third Round for WR-Needy Teams, But Do They Profile as More Than Just Athletes?

May 1, 2021
Nico Collins was drafted by the Houston Texans with the No. 89 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Anthony Schwartz was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the No. 91 pick. These two athletic marvels land on squads that lacked wide receiver firepower in 2020, but do their profiles offer an immediate impact? Athletic Profiles Collins and Schwartz are bound to be lumped together as…...
