Welcome to the fifth installment of “The Wrong Read,” an article series that reflects on recent RotoViz podcast episodes and pushes the ideas explored there to even greater heights.

For a brief introduction to the series, and a funny 30 Rock clip, check out episode 0. And don’t get hung up on how the articles aren’t numbered in order—I know we skipped episode 1.

Last offseason I put together a set of what I called efficiency-agnostic projections. These simple projections were made purely using a multiple linear regression, and assumed league-average efficiency across the board. They are efficiency-agnostic because, rather than attempting to project efficiency, I’m projecting expected points. Expected points are simply the average number of fantasy points an attempt, carry, or target has historically produced based on…...

If you want to have a shot at winning your dynasty league, you’ve got to get players on your team who will provide outsized returns relative to the cost to acquire them. Based on his dynasty ADP, most people think Emmanuel Sanders is no longer a top-24 dynasty wide receiver. He’s currently the 36th WR off the board in dynasty startups. I think this price…...

I’ve heard smart people say, when asked about the 2017 class of prospects, “there’s no Amari Cooper here.”[1]Okay, I’ve only heard one person say that. But I’m pretty sure it was Evan Silva, and he’s smarter than a lot of other fantasy analysts put together. In other words, there’s no can’t-miss prospect who checks every box and is the consensus No. 1 pick in dynasty…...

Robert Davis was drafted with the 209th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins. The Redskins lost DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, but Davis still enters a crowded depth chart, with Washington previously making some big offseason moves. If he can manage to see the field, he gives Washington another red-zone threat…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership...

Jamaal Williams was drafted with the 134th overall pick by the Green Bay Packers as they look for an early-down runner to complement pass-catching back Ty Montgomery. This is an intriguing pick for the Packers, who would no doubt like to run the ball more often than they did in 2016. Williams was a workhorse in college who accounted for more than 40 percent of BYU’s…...

Tarik Cohen was drafted 119th overall by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The Bears add to their running back depth behind Jordan Howard, as Cohen will compete for a role with Jeremy Langford, Benny Cunningham, and KaDeem Carey….

Cooper Kupp was drafted 69th overall by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
