Keenan Allen Could Lead in Targets and Ken Walker Pushes for Overall RB1: The Wrong Read, Week 4 – Part 2

RotoViz and Ship Chasing Team Up for a Shot at $1 Million, Part 2: The Great Pittsburgh Steelers Wide Receiver Debate

In what has become an offseason tradition, my RotoViz Report co-host Hasan Rahim and I joined up with the boys from Ship Chasing — Pat Kerrane, Peter Overzet, and Ben Gretch — to co-draft and co-manage an FFPC Main Event team. In past seasons we’ve drafted live on stream. This season we’re trying something different: a slow draft. In Part 1 we detailed the chaos…...

The Crucial Wide Receiver Stat That Drafters Forgot: How to Use Advanced WR Metrics to Beat ADP

My previous article examined which metrics are most predictive for wide receivers. I was concerned in that piece to show which metrics were both stable (predicted themselves) and useful (predicted fantasy points.) Today I want to ask a slightly different but even more important question: which WR metrics are most valuable? That is, which metrics give us an edge in fantasy drafts? It doesn’t help…...

How to Predict the Future: Why Fantasy Wide Receiver Evaluation Is Easier Than You Think, and Why So Many Get It Wrong

About two years ago I performed a deep dive into some of the advanced wide receiver metrics we had recently added to the site. The advanced metrics from Sports Info Solutions gave us a lot of predictive power and nuance, and helped to explain why some of the longstanding metrics we’ve used for years continue to be among the best for fantasy managers. With now…...

Late-Round Tight End Never Works — But It Might Work for Us: 7 Tight Ends in the Double-Digit Rounds to Help You Lean Into the WR Avalanche

Elite-tight-end builds — or even double-elite-TE builds — have long been a staple of winning roster construction principles at RotoViz. Even in Shawn Siegele’s foundational Zero-RB article, he mentions that his preferred construction in the first five rounds includes four WRs and a TE. Looking back at the win rates for elite TE builds shows that beginning your draft with a top TE provides a…...

Is the QB Window Still Viable? Exploring the Impact of Quarterback Breakouts and Injuries

Earlier this offseason, Michael Dubner suggested that elite quarterbacks can carry teams to the playoffs despite the elevated cost. Shawn Siegele has found a number of late options with breakout potential. Both rightly pointed out that the QB window did not provide the returns in 2022 that we’ve come to expect. Yet, in many ways, the death of the QB window has been greatly exaggerated…....

How to Use the Win the Flex and Range of Outcomes Tools to Find Undervalued Wide Receivers

RotoViz was a pioneer of the idea of structural drafting, often in tandem with the idea that the flex wins championships and that fantasy football drafts are a race to fill the flex. But we’ve always paired structural drafting with evidence-based player-level research. Success in fantasy is not as simple as drafting the right number of RBs or drafting a QB in the right round,…...
