Week 4 of the 2024 season has been the best we have seen from the NFL so far this year. With big-time performances from some RotoViz favorites like Justin Fields, Chase Brown, and Nico Collins, on top of multiple games that were decided in the final minutes, this was the week we have been waiting for all season. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all positive, as injuries…...

As we continue to get more data from the 2024 season, we begin to see a clearer picture of how the rest of the year could play out. Malik Nabers’ performance against the Browns is enough to make us think that his Week 1 score — not Week 2 — may have been the outlier. Andy Dalton starting at quarterback for the Panthers brought some…...

Spike weeks for low-owned players can be a blessing and a curse. For fantasy managers who were fortunate enough to just roster, let alone start, Jauan Jennings or Cole Kmet in Week 3, they are resting easy with the added trade value their assets have accrued in such a short time. For the rest of us on the outside looking in, trying to weigh our…...

Nature versus nurture. At the end of the day, the answer generally comes down to a combination both. If NFL performances were based solely on raw athletic ability, Anthony Richardson would be the league’s best quarterback. If NFL success were the result of learning offensive strategy and proper fundamentals, the entertainment value of watching the “athletes” involved wouldn’t be strong enough to survive on public…...

After the completion of Week 2, we have doubled our data set for the 2024 season. What a time to be alive! Before we get into the latest information available in the Advanced Stats Explorer, just a few quick reminders about the article. Leading up to the season, I looked at the five years of data available in the Advanced Stats Explorer and broke it…...

The injury bug continues to hit the NFL heavily in the early weeks of the season. While there are some players that can come in and bridge the gap until our stars return, figuring out the best replacement option isn’t always easy. Together we will navigate the treacherous waiver landscape heading into Week 3, in hopes of finding the best possible options to help us…...

Hello There! In Week 2 of the 2024 season, the action ramped up considerably compared to what we were given in the opening week of the season. Even though things were not perfect, it did look like most teams actually had a clue what they were trying to accomplish on offense during the second week’s slate of games. Whether it was Week 1 jitters or…...

Over the past week, we took a deep dive into the Advanced Stats Explorer in preparation for the 2024 season. Using the five years of data available in the tool, we created a sample and looked at trends from 2019 to 2023 regarding targets and routes, intended air yards, yards after the catch and evasion, and finally catchable targets, drops, first downs, and touchdowns. There…...

As we enter our first week of waivers for most home leagues, I want to lay out the format for the waivers article before we get into the players to target. In order for a player to be labeled as a possible waiver addition, they must have an ownership of 50% or less on either Yahoo or ESPN. On the opposite end, if a player…...

In many ways, Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season underwhelmed. That is, unless you are a veteran running back. Or a rushing quarterback, for that matter. With many of the league’s passing offenses sputtering out of the gate, Week 1 really was all about the running game. After consulting the Monday Review tool, we can see that only two 300-yard passers emerged up to…...

In preparation for this season’s weekly dive into the advanced stats at the wide receiver position, we are going to look back at how players at the position fared from 2019 through 2023 using the Advanced Stats Explorer. After analyzing five separate seasons and 1,144 individual performances, we should have a pretty good idea of how our favorite players stack up as we make our…...
