Can Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Career Trajectory Provide a Roadmap for This Rookie Wide Receiver Currently Being Selected in the Late Rounds of Drafts?
Kevin Szafraniec
August 21, 2024
After starting his rookie season receiving the inconsistent opportunity that would be expected for a fourth-round (112th pick overall) wide receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown exploded down the stretch to deliver fantasy championships in 2021. Since then he has not looked back. Working primarily out of the slot, St. Brown has solidified himself as one of the league’s most consistent and productive WRs. Over each consecutive…...
Could the Next James Conner Be Hiding in Plain Sight? This Rookie Running Back is Already Showing Signs of Following in His Footsteps
Kevin Szafraniec
August 19, 2024
In 2017, James Conner was drafted by the Steelers at the tail end of the third round to add depth behind superstar running back Le’Veon Bell. In the three seasons prior, Bell never finished lower than fourth among RBs in PPR points per game, scoring as the overall PPR RB1 and RB3 in 2014 and 2016, respectively. Conner concluded his four-year career at the University…...
David Johnson Bucked a Powerful Trend to Become a PPR Monster, and These 2 Rookie Running Backs Are Now Trying to Follow His Lead

August 18, 2024
Safe. Consistent. Dependable. These are adjectives that are often linked to some of the best-case scenarios for aging running backs. Inefficient. Declining. Boring. A few adjectives that may be used more frequently than we would like describing elite athletes in their mid-20s, but it does not make them any less true. As many NFL running backs enter their age-24 season, they are nearing the end…...
Elijah Mitchell’s Breakout Rookie Season Was Better Than You Remember, and This Electric Rookie Running Back Is Set to Repeat It
Kevin Szafraniec
August 17, 2024
Kevin Szafraniec reminds you just how powerful Elijah Mitchell was in his rookie year and locates a 2024 rookie who might be on the same trajectory. In 2021, Elijah Mitchell came out of obscurity as a sixth-round pick to claim the lead role in the San Francisco backfield after injuries decimated the 49ers’ running back depth chart. While Mitchell himself was also limited to 11…...

Could These 3 Late-Round Rookie Running Backs be Leading Their Backfields by the End of 2024?
Kevin Szafraniec
July 24, 2024
The running back position is as volatile as ever, and seemingly every year we see players at the position come out of nowhere to earn meaningful roles at all points of the season. What is perhaps flying under the radar is that all four teams in the AFC West have questions relating to the amount of depth, talent, or both in their RB depth charts…....
One, Both, or None? Should We Be Adding Patriots Rookie Wide Receivers Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker to Our Dynasty Rosters?
Kevin Szafraniec
July 15, 2024
Looking all the way back to the turn of the century, the New England Patriots’ history of drafting wide receivers has not been pretty. Since 2000, only two wide receivers that the team has drafted — Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater — have made the Pro Bowl. Although he has been a staple at the NFL’s annual all-star game since 2011, Slater’s inclusion should come…...
With So Many Intriguing Options For Jordan Love in Green Bay’s Passing Game, Which Packers Receivers Provide the Best Values at ADP?

July 9, 2024
An embarrassment of riches in the receiving game is never a bad problem to have for an NFL quarterback, but it can lead to some difficult decisions for fantasy managers. While there are some interesting situations playing out in both Houston and Chicago, perhaps the most crowded — and potentially most ambiguous — receiving corps in the league for 2024 may reside in Green Bay…....
Can Trey Benson Become an NFL Bell Cow, or is He Destined to Spend His Career as a Committee Back?
Kevin Szafraniec
July 2, 2024
After flashing game-breaking ability and elite athleticism despite never truly earning a featured role during his time in college, Trey Benson showed enough potential for the Arizona Cardinals to use an early third-round pick on him in the 2024 NFL draft. With James Conner producing career highs in both rushing yards and yards per carry for Arizona last season, the addition of Benson could be…...
The Commanders Added Jayden Daniels and a Duo of Exciting Pass Catchers in the 2024 Draft, but How Long Before They Become Fantasy Producers?
Kevin Szafraniec
June 24, 2024
Heading into the 2024 NFL draft with six of the top 100 picks, the Washington Commanders were in a prime position to rebuild their roster in a hurry. To the delight of fantasy owners, the team decided to kick off their rebuild by using four of their top 100 picks on the offensive side of the ball. With the second overall pick, the Commanders selected…...

Brock Bowers May Just Be the Best TE Prospect We Have Ever Seen, But Could His Landing Spot with the Raiders Limit His Ceiling?
Kevin Szafraniec
June 4, 2024
The NFL potential of Brock Bowers has been well-documented this offseason here at RotoViz, as both Blair Andrews and Shawn Siegele have provided fantastic articles detailing Bowers’ standing as a true generational prospect. In a landscape where the term “generational” is being slapped onto players seemingly every year, Bowers lives up to the hype. While his talent is not in question, Bowers’ landing spot in…...
Jaylen Warren is Still Criminally Undervalued: Deciphering the Potential Outcomes for the 2024 Steelers Backfield
Kevin Szafraniec
May 28, 2024
In 2023, Jaylen Warren outpaced Najee Harris in PPR points despite receiving 50 fewer opportunities than the former first-round pick. Since Warren’s rookie year, it has been evident to most people (at least outside of the Steelers organization) that the former undrafted free agent is — to put it bluntly — just a flat-out better football player than Harris. With the two Steelers running backs’…...
Jonathon Brooks was a Workhorse Before Injury Derailed His Final College Season, But Can He Earn the Same Role With the Panthers in 2024?
Kevin Szafraniec
May 21, 2024
After waiting his turn for the opportunity to lead Texas’s backfield, Jonathon Brooks showed signs of being the next great running back to emerge from the Longhorns’ storied program. Then disaster struck on November 11th against TCU, as Brooks’ breakout season ended prematurely due to a torn ACL. The injury was not enough to scare off the Carolina Panthers, as the team traded up to the…...
Malik Nabers Isn’t the First Wide Receiver Selected in 2024 Rookie Drafts, But Could He Be the Dynasty WR1 Come 2025?
Kevin Szafraniec
May 10, 2024
In most years Malik Nabers would have been the clear-cut WR1 in rookie drafts, while also being in contention for the overall 1.01. But 2024 is definitely not most years. Sporting the deepest quarterback class in recent memory, in addition to a wide receiver group that rivals the fabled class of 2014, the value that can be had in the first round of Superflex rookie…...
Brian Thomas Jr.’s Final Season Was His Only Good Season, But It Was Spectacular: How Does He Fit Into a Crowded Jacksonville Offense?
Kevin Szafraniec
May 6, 2024
After committing to LSU ranked as a four-star recruit and 68th overall player (WR9) in the 2021 draft class according to 24/7 sports’ high school rankings, it took Brian Thomas Jr. until his junior season to fully deliver on the promise he showed coming out of high school. But when he did break out, Thomas didn’t hold back. In 2023, Thomas led all of college…...
