In dynasty fantasy football, we often find a prospect we like. Then we roster them far beyond when they have any utility. I found 32 players I’m giving up on. Here’s the second installment of eight players you can fade…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

I’ve been spending some time looking at dynasty startup ADP from the last couple seasons, and comparing it to production and remaining potential. It’s time to throw in the towel on some players. Here are 32 I’m giving up on…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

Welp. No lineups to set. No waiver bids to make. Fantasy football season is over. Withdrawal is a B. So instead of “working” I’m fiddling around with the Fantasy Efficiency App. Here’s a few interesting items. File these under “Interesting Observations.” They’re not necessarily proof of anything or even things to act on. Mostly they’re just fun thought exercises for a boring work day. I like…...

Yes. Oh, wait, you probably want me to explain why. Okay, here goes. He Old Jimmy Graham is 29. He’ll be 30 in November. Tight ends can certainly be productive into their 30s. This year alone saw six top-12 PPR performances from TEs over age 30: Delanie Walker, Gary Barnidge, Greg Olsen, Ben Watson, Jason Witten, and Antonio Gates. So age in and of itself may not be…...

On the 100th episode of RotoViz Radio, RotoDoc dropped a hot take that went something like “Tight end is a very deep position.” He’s right. Here’s some tidbits to file away for next season. Lots of Producers Fully 18 TEs averaged over 1.5 reEP per target this season.[1]All data based on TEs with more than 50 targets. Twelve TEs averaged 0.2 or more points above…...

Melvin Gordon Sucks Fun fact. Since 1936, there have only been four rookie running backs with more than 175 rushing attempts and no rushing touchdowns. None of the other three accumulated more than 1475 career rushing yards.[1]Preston Carpenter did stick around for 11 years. Since 1955, 63 first-round rookie RBs have had 175 or more attempts. Gordon and Carpenter are the only two not to score…...

Russell Wilson Is he elite yet? Absolutely. He might soon take over the lead for career passer rating. He’s set franchise records for yards and passing TDs. He’s the first player in NFL history to produce 4000 yards passing, 500 yards rushing, and 30 passing TDs in a season. Not impressed? Try this on for size. Since entering the league, Wilson and Cam Newton offer…...

In addition to competing out there in the vast world of fantasy football, we also compete against each other in a variety of ways.

Here’s the third iteration of the RotoViz Scouting Index, wherein we aggregate NFL draft prospect rankings from a half-dozen popular scouting sites. We’ve also been working on some initial 2016 NFL Draft prospect write-ups; check ’em out. Quarterbacks Looking at the positional scores, it’s easy to see where the tiers begin and end. It’s even easier in a chart: I confess that Carson Wentz isn’t a guy…...

As the fantasy football season came to a close, we got together at RotoViz headquarters to talk about our seasons. Here are some of the best moves we made in 2015. Drafting Carson Palmer The Move: Drafting Carson Palmer. Palmer was one of my best picks of the year, and one of my Championship Building Blocks from the summer. Playing in a Bruce Arians offense, he torched the league…...

Things don’t always go as planned in Fantasy Football. We recently got together at the RotoViz offices and compared notes. Here are some of the worst moves we made in 2015. Holding Onto Davante Adams The Move: Drafting Davante Adams. Back in August, I argued heavily for Davante Adams as a re-draft target. Why? Because I believed in his talent and knew that he was…...

Now’s a good time to take a look at how I fared as a fantasy football pundit in 2015. This is something I’d love to see from more writers. Cranking out fantasy content is easy, but without gauging how well we’re doing it can become wasted effort. If you see similar articles from other writers on the web, feel encouraged to point me in that direction…...

Too bad, we’re starting anyway: Author Player Position  Price  Comment Pat Kerrane Allen Robinson WR  $        7,500 Robinson is priced as WR6 but could be in for an absolutely huge day against the Saints secondary.

A few weeks ago, we got together and did a dynasty startup mock draft. Here’s a quick look at some players who were drafted much higher – or lower – than they were in preseason startup drafts. One big caveat before we start. The August ADP comes from our excellent Dynasty ADP App. In turn, the App gets its data from the 130 dynasty startup drafts…...

Building on an idea from last year, we’ll try to aggregate prospect rankings from some of the higher profile sites. We’ll update this occasionally to get a sense of whether a prospect’s 2016 NFL Draft status is heading up or down. And we’ll use this index as a market proxy against which we’ll make our own value judgments. Along the way, we’ll have fun comparing our…...
