I recently explained why Keyarris Garrett is an all-upside wide receiver prospect. Today I’ll highlight another WR with lots of upside, and historically great comparables. Leonte Carroo As a reminder, I’m using the production variables that Kevin Cole found to be most predictive of future WR success. As in my earlier article about Garrett, I started by comparing this year’s prospects against each other. Carroo didn’t have any notable 2016…...

I’ve been looking through some of the lower-ranked wide receiver prospects to see if any might have unexpected upside based on recent work by Kevin Cole and others. The first name that sticks out to me? Keyarris Garrett. Here’s what I did. I started with the RotoViz Scouting Index, and worked my way up from the lowest-ranked WR (Nelson Spruce), until I found a prospect with…...

Injured and forced into a committee last year by the Chicago Bears, Matt Forte found a new opportunity to be a top fantasy football running back by signing with the New York Jets. I expect him to be a top-10 RB in 2016. Here’s why. Not Really Slowing Down Much was made last year about Forte’s decline, but the NFL Career Graphs App tells a different story.   Other than…...

The New Orleans Saints signed tight end Coby Fleener, which naturally means he’ll be a top fantasy football TE as well, right? Right. Here’s why…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

The Houston Texans just locked up Brock Osweiler on a four year, $72 million contract. That leaves the Denver Broncos without a starting quarterback. I think Houston lost this transaction and Denver is actually better off now than they were with Osweiler….

Welcome to the eighth version of the 2016 RotoViz Scouting Index. I’ve combined player rankings from a half-dozen scouting websites into a single score for each prospect. Let’s see if last week’s NFL combine moved the needle on any prospect evaluations…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member?

Four quick post-NFL combine observations. Three running backs to take note of, one wide receiver to be cautious of. Josh Doctson I noticed some Rotoworld blurbs over the weekend comparing Josh Doctson to DeAndre Hopkins. On the surface, that’s a good comp. Except for one small detail. Josh Doctson will be 23.1 years old at the end of his final college season-year. Hopkins was just 20.5 years…...

Quick fantasy football news and updates on the Giants, Dolphins, and Texans. Will Tye Larry Donnell still hasn’t been cleared to return to action, and the Giants general manager openly speculated about his ability to play again. He’s also a restricted free agent, so not locked into a roster spot by any means. Despite this, Will Tye’s ADP is actually dropping. Tye performed very well last…...

Rotoworld has passed along news that the Patriots are considering Alfred Morris, Joique Bell, Chris Ivory, and Matt Forte as free agent running back acquisitions. Of course, they could also retain Legarrette Blount. Let’s break it down. I built this table using data from the Fantasy Efficiency and RB Sim Apps. Contract information comes from Over the Cap. Here’s how to read the salary information. “Last cap” was the player’s cap…...

All the sexy people are talking about the NFL combine, and their dynasty rookie picks. Meanwhile I’m scouring depth charts looking for possible – albeit unlikely – sleepers. A few teams have under-the-radar, but potentially viable fantasy wide receivers already on their rosters….

Team RotoViz is preparing for dynasty season by doing a mock startup draft. Look for some write ups from the other participants as well, and I expect we’ll do a few more over the offseason.

I’m looking forward to seeing what impact the NFL combine and subsequent pro days have on player rankings. Presumably, scout evaluations are based more on film observation and less on measured athleticism. In any case, we’ll need to wait until after the combine to do a comparison. Meanwhile, here’s the seventh version of the RotoViz Scouting Index…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this...

When I read that Joique Bell had been cut, part of me felt like trotting out the Funeral Blues. But life, and more importantly, fantasy football, goes on. The obvious takeaway is that the rest of Detroit’s running backs get a bump in value. But who gets the bump? Zach Zenner is a RotoViz favorite and it’s easy to make the case that he’s a…...

Recently I’ve been doing some positional forensic work on 2015 My Fantasy League MFL10s. For this post I thought I’d look at things from a round-by-round draft perspective instead.   What you’re seeing is the average win percent for each position, by round. Also, be aware that this is just a summation of what worked last year. That’s valuable to know, but doesn’t necessarily mean…...
