Rookies and Year 2 Backs Join the Stars: Advanced Running Back Stats – Week 7
Corbin Young
October 20, 2021
Corbin Young looks at the advanced running back stats to find sneaky trade targets and waiver wire pickups with league-winning potential. Unfortunately, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt suffered injuries last week. Both players popped in the running back advanced stats through six weeks. With those injuries and six teams on bye, fantasy managers will need to dig deep in the waiver wire and uncover players…...
A.J. Dillon and Zack Moss Ascend the Evasion Rate Leaderboard: Running Back Advanced Stats – Week 6
Corbin Young
October 13, 2021
Hopefully, fantasy managers survived the injuries, even if they couldn’t be completely avoided, given the number of injuries in Week 5. After Cordarrelle Patterson popped in the running back advanced stats last week, he exploded on Sunday against the Jets. Patterson totaled 114 yards on 14 carries and seven receptions. Don’t quit on Javonte Williams, given the consistent running back advanced stats even though Melvin Gordon…...
Cordarrelle Patterson’s Performance Might Not Be a Fluke, Plus 4 RBs to Acquire: Running Back Advanced Stats – Week 5
Corbin Young
October 6, 2021
Last week, we highlighted David Montgomery as a potential buy low based on the advanced metrics. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury on Sunday. After 23 carries for 106 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, Montgomery ranked fifth with 22.6 fantasy points heading into Monday night. Early reports indicate Montgomery avoided a torn ACL, but he’ll still receive further testing. The buy-low window is probably…...
Buy Low on David Montgomery: Running Back Advanced Stats – Week 4
Corbin Young
September 29, 2021
Before we get into Week 4, let’s look back at how some of last week’s top backs built on their past performance (or not). Javonte Williams headlined last week’s running back advanced stats article, and he finished with 15.2 fantasy points as an RB2. However, Melvin Gordon still led the Broncos in a positive game script and finished with 82 total yards. Gordon recorded season-highs with…...
Javonte Williams Is on the Verge of a Breakout: Advanced Running Back Stats – Week 3
Corbin Young
September 22, 2021
Last week, we looked at leaders in several running back advanced stats. Devin Singletary’s elusiveness and David Montgomery’s yards after contact headlined Week 1. Some of the running back advanced stats explained Elijah Mitchell’s blowup Week 1 performance, even though his opportunity didn’t quite account for it. With the Titans establishing the run even from behind in Week 2, Derrick Henry’s low 1.8 yards after…...
Shawn Siegele Compared Devin Singletary to Barry Sanders, and Maybe That’s Not Totally Insane: Advanced Running Back Stats – Week 1
Corbin Young
September 16, 2021
Corbin Young uses the Advanced Stat Explorer and other tools to look at the top running backs from the past week from a variety of angles. Each week, we’ll look at the leaders in advanced stats such as yards after contact, broken tackles, and evasion rates. The box score will tell you who the leaders are in gaining yards and scoring touchdowns. But if you…...
This RB Projects Just Like Ezekiel Elliott, But He’s Available 5 Rounds Later – Plus 3 Other Players With Massive Gaps Between Their RotoViz Rankings and ADP
Corbin Young
August 30, 2021
One way to find an edge during your fantasy drafts involves finding players who are mispriced by ADP. Comparing FFPC Redraft ADP to the RotoViz site rankings makes identifying those players easy. Now that doesn’t mean jump players in ADP just because the RotoViz rankings have them higher. However, it means we should consider prioritizing or fading these players based on the analytics and profiles. …...
The Receiver RotoViz Can’t Stop Drafting – Plus 2 Other Late-Round Second-Year Breakout Candidates
Corbin Young
August 15, 2021
Originally published August 5, Corbin Young reminds us of inexpensive second-year breakout candidates, including one who blew up in the first preseason game. In a recent article, I looked at three second-year breakout wide receivers. We used Blair Andrews’ previous research to help identify players. That article included three second-year receivers ready to breakout in 2021. But none of those three players are particularly cheap, with…...
The Jaguars Backfield Presents an Opportunity to Boost Your Win Rates, But at What Cost? Small-Gap RBs on 2 Polarizing Teams
Corbin Young
July 27, 2021
Last time we identified a couple of bargains at the running back position with a large ADP gap. We used research by Jack Miller on the ADP gap between RB teammates to identify Myles Gaskin and Mike Davis. Both running backs hold an ADP gap greater than 98.5 with their team’s RB2, which qualifies as a big-gap running back. However, small-gap backfields also provide an opportunity to find…...
Second-Year Wide Receivers Are Still the Most Overpowered Cheat Code in Fantasy Football: 2 Simple Thresholds Reveal the Top Breakout Candidates
Corbin Young
July 10, 2021
Corbin Young uses the RotoViz tools and a couple of simple metrics to find the top Year 2 wide receiver breakout candidates for 2021. Last season, we enjoyed several talented rookie wide receivers in Tee Higgins, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Chase Claypool, and Brandon Aiyuk. But we know that Year 2 is when receivers truly shine. Given how strong last year’s rookie class turned out…...
History Tells Us These Inexpensive Starting Running Backs Fit a Winning Fantasy Profile
Corbin Young
June 25, 2021
Corbin Young examines the big gap/small gap ADP concept at running back and locates inexpensive RBs who fit a historically winning profile. We all want to find that impact RB1 in the bargain barrel of our drafts. After reading through Jack Miller’s research on the ADP gap between RB teammates, I wanted to see if I could find undervalued runners with a large ADP gap. …...
