We’ve run a few interesting articles about salary cap implications for certain players, so I thought I’d throw another log on that fire. Here’s a quick look at 12 interesting situations. I got my information from Over the Cap, a site I highly recommend. Here’s how to read that table. Cap number represents how much the player costs the team vs. the 2016 cap. Cut…...

A quick analysis of some recent fantasy football news. Jordan Matthews When I read recently that Riley Cooper had been released, I thought perhaps it might be a good sign for Jordan Matthews (or any other Eagles wide receiver). But I don’t think it is. First of all, Cooper only received 41 targets last year, so it’s not like there’s a ton of opportunity that’s been…...

The Super Bowl is done; welcome to NFL draft season. Here’s the sixth iteration of the RotoViz Scouting Index, wherein we meld the rankings from six scout-based sites to help you track which prospects are perceived to be rising or falling. Let’s get to it. Quarterback Only showing the players ranked at five or more sites. We’ve got a new (tied for) Number One! Carson…...

Back in the early days of RotoViz, Jonathan Bales used the Sim Score Apps to create volatility scores for individual players. It’s a quick way to get a sense of how risky – or reliable – a player’s fantasy output might be….

The Senior Bowl has been good to Braxton Miller. He’s starting to generate some real buzz. Should we care? The Buzz From Tony Pauline: According to NFL draft insider Tony Pauline, Ohio State WR Braxton Miller’s Senior Bowl performance has “moved (Miller) into the early part of round two.” Not to be outdone, Josh Norris reports Miller’s “movement is special at a position that can benefit from…...

This post is part of a series of articles where various RotoViz writers name their favorite buy low for dynasty fantasy football, with a look at the 2016 NFL season and beyond. At the conclusion of the series, the authors will get together to rank the various nominations in one final post. In this installment, Charles Kleinheksel discusses his pick, Tyrod Taylor….

Just a quick post to illustrate a couple of things that have been demonstrated in the past, and should be common knowledge. But sometimes seeing things visually really drives them home. Targets Are the Lifeblood of Fantasy Scoring Do a Google search for that phrase on our site, and you get 22 results.[1]This article makes 23 I guess. I guess you could say it’s one…...

We’re into college all star game season, which means NFL scouts (and NFL scout sites) will be ramping up their player ranking activity even more. Here’s the fifth version of the RotoViz Scouting Index, wherein we synthesize the rankings from six popular scouting sites – so you don’t have to. Stay tuned for more analysis. Quarterback Running Back Wide Receiver Tight End… Membership Required You...

As the combine, pro days, and the NFL draft approach, we’re starting to get familiar with this year’s wide receiver prospects. Some quick notes on the top ten, using the Box Score Scout App. It’s too early to make really strong conclusions, since we don’t have physical measurements or combine numbers yet, but we can do a little bit of exploration. I used the Box…...

Y’know what we like to do? Get together and come up with 2000 words about Josh Gordon. It’s what we do. Gordon is a Potential League-Winner in All Formats – Anthony Amico There is risk here. Gordon has played just five games over the last two seasons, and could be suspended again. But what kind of fantasy player are you? Do you want to build…...

As I’ve been updating the RotoViz Scouting Index, I’ve been looking for other bits of data to cross reference. Since we haven’t had pro days or the NFL combine yet, there’s not much to go on…or is there? Tracking Football has a large database of high school data. The information is interesting, and might even have value for those who play in Devy leagues. I…...

No sooner do I give up on Jeff Janis than he goes out and posts a 7/145/2 line in last week’s playoff loss to Arizona. That performance seems to have reignited the passions of fantasy footballers. I’m here to re-explain why Janis is still off my fantasy football radar. Bad Comps From Pro Football Reference, here are all the wide receivers drafted in the sixth round or later…...

 We had so much fun with last year’s writing contest that we’re doing it again. We’re looking for an article from someone who wants to win a lifetime RotoViz pass.

Carlos Hyde’s 2015 season was super disappointing. But I think he could be a real difference maker in 2016. Here are six reasons why. Efficiency. In 2015, Hyde averaged 0.13 points over expectation per rush. That was 17th among all running backs with 100 or more attempts. That’s better than Jonathan Stewart, LeSean McCoy, Chris Ivory, and Latavius Murray, among others. He averaged 1.6 rushing yards per snap…....

I was going to title this article something like “Kirk Cousins is a great late round quarterback for 2016.” Then I noticed what’s been happening with his ADP. So I guess I won’t be surprising anyone with this pro-Cousins article. But he’s still just the 15th QB off the board, so I think there’s still some value there. Interestingly, his dynasty startup ADP hasn’t really…...

This is the fourth iteration of the RotoViz Scouting Index. The Index tracks and aggregates player rankings across six scouting websites. One minor change – because so many players are now being evaluated and ranked, I’m only showing those that were ranked on at least three of the six sites. Quarterbacks Running Backs Wide Receivers Tight Ends… Membership Required You must be a member to...

Here’s the last installment of 32 players whose dynasty fantasy football value has cratered. 8. Tony Romo, QB, DAL There were good reasons for optimism regarding Tony Romo’s 2015 season. I’m not sure there are many for 2016. Going on 36, his collarbones aren’t getting any younger. In 2015, before succumbing to injury, his per-attempt efficiency was just 0.05. That ranked 35th among QBs with 100…...

Continuing our journey through 32 players whose dynasty fantasy football value has disappeared, here are eight more players ready for the scrap heap. The value decline for these players is obvious – so why are they still rostered in so many dynasty leagues? 16. Joique Bell, RB, DET There will always be a place in my dynasty heart for Bell. Besides attending my alma mater and…...
