Supercharged Start: Offenses to Target and Fade in the First Month
Madison Parkhill
August 21, 2020
When analyzing strength of schedule, I prefer to focus on the first four weeks of the season. Vegas win totals and the previous year’s correlation are the strongest early on, as injuries and year-to-year variance often play an increasing role as the season continues. My goal is to target teams and players with easy starts (and fade those with tough starts), increasing their value as…...
3 Offenses to Stack in Underdog’s Best Ball Mania
Madison Parkhill
August 3, 2020
I’ve focused on two macro strategies so far in the Underdog Best Ball Tournament. Modified Zero RB grants us more reliable access to a massive ceiling more than any other strategy. Hyperfragile RB also grants us access to a massive ceiling but comes with greater injury risk. I’ve then supplemented those strategies with two other key tactics. First, I have a few roster construction requirements,…...
Applying RotoViz Tools and Research to Yahoo! Best Ball
Madison Parkhill
June 30, 2020
Similar to some other best ball formats, Yahoo! is a 20-round draft, with mostly standardized Half-PPR scoring, that requires us to start one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one flex, and one defense. However, unlike other formats, Yahoo! pays out a weekly prize to the top-scoring team. Naturally, this decreases the amount of money left to reward the highest-placing teams at the end…...
8 Quarterbacks to Target for Predictable Production
Madison Parkhill
June 11, 2020
The late-round quarterback strategy is the norm today, so I won’t recap it much. In short, choosing to wait at quarterback allows us to take another impact player at a more valuable position. However, this decision comes at a cost. We don’t have the privilege of starting Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes every week. Instead, our goal is to hit on a later-round guy in…...
Identifying Upside Fantasy Defenses For Your Top Best Ball Targets
Madison Parkhill
May 29, 2020
Choosing the right defensive roster construction is one of the key tactical ingredients of a winning roster. In 20-round drafts, there are some clear takeaways. Early defenses are a trap due to the low correlation of performance from year to year, but that’s not the biggest danger. Selecting just one, or even two defenses, is one of the easiest ways to fall behind from a…...
Can J.K. Dobbins Be a League Winner in a Crowded Baltimore Backfield?
Madison Parkhill
May 14, 2020
J.K. Dobbins’ price varies greatly among best ball sites. Among the higher stake sites, such as the FFPC and Fanball, he has an ADP of 51 and an ADP of 53, respectively. At sites that offer cheaper contests such as Drafters and Yahoo, Dobbins has an ADP of 70 and an ADP of 107, respectively. This sparks two questions: Why is the gap this large?…...
Teddy Bridgewater is 2020’s Late Round Quarterback
Madison Parkhill
May 4, 2020
After the Panthers traded Kyle Allen this spring and elected to not draft a quarterback last weekend, Teddy Bridgewater is cemented as their 2020 starting quarterback. His case as 2020’s late-round quarterback boils down to three simple predictions. Bridgewater will likely be near the top of the league in pass attempts. He will likely be slightly above league average in passing efficiency. He has rushing upside…...
Stefon Diggs Still Offers an Elite Ceiling
Madison Parkhill
April 17, 2020
The Bills and Vikings completed a blockbuster deal that sent 26-year-old star WR Stefon Diggs to the Bills for a package of picks. Diggs was rumored to have wanted out of Minnesota since the middle of last season, as the Vikings shifted to a run-centric offense. At first glance, the transition to Josh Allen and the Bills is far from a dream landing spot, especially considering…...
