Every year, there are a handful of players whose selection leaves me scratching my head. Last year, I begged you not to draft D’Onta Foreman and his ruptured Achilles, which seems obvious looking back, but people were drafting him right up until opening weekend. The year before that, I implored you to avoid the trendy Martavis Bryant, and he finished as the WR50. This year, I…...

If you’ve been jumping the queue to draft Dante Pettis in the sixth round this summer, this article may not be for you. Then again, maybe it’s exactly what you need. Every year there are still some players getting a bit too much love while their cohorts with similar ranges of outcomes go at a discount. After all, as the Fantasy Douche explained years ago,…...

Diversification is great if you’re playing 50 or more leagues, but you need to narrow your focus and give yourself the best chance at success if you’re only playing in a few fantasy drafts. Here are six players I think have the best shot at being league winners in 2019, along with some suggested alternatives in case you miss out. D.J. Moore Last year around…...

Am I the only one who gets a bit nervous when on the clock in the first round and Odell Beckham is the WR at the top of the draft queue? While he has the talent to overcome historical trends, I can’t help but harken back to Blair Andrews telling us that we should generally avoid WRs who change teams. Nor can I completely ignore the fact that…...

“You pay for this, but they give you that.” That classic Neil Young lyric came to mind as I was researching this year’s “Why Buy?” series. We’re often so confident of what we’re going to get when we spend that sixth-round pick on the next big thing, but in reality, we rarely know what we’re buying. The solution? Pay less. That’s the concept behind our…...

I’ve had a hard time getting much else accomplished since RotoViz released its latest tool, the Range of Outcomes App, this week. On Monday I looked at one of the underrated names that popped out as belonging in the elite-WR category in Dave Caban’s model. And I want to take a quick look at another WR who appears to belong in the same category according…...

The latest in a long line of new and beefed-up RotoViz apps has arrived — Dave Caban’s Range of Outcomes App. You might remember this as the Sim Scores App, which gathers the most comparable seasons for a player, and based on that, assigns them a range of outcomes for the coming season. I prefer considering a player’s range of outcomes, as they provide a…...

As a group, RotoViz takes pride in teeing up this year’s late-round league winners for you. Last year, it was guys like Phillip Lindsay and James Conner at running back. Deep sleepers at WR are a little harder to find, but we did tell you to watch out for Curtis Samuel, and he flirted with WR4 numbers. Oh, and we told you to select Tyler Boyd in the last round of every…...

In the Steelers’ first preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, James Washington reminded everyone of the physical skills that made him a second-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Most fantasy analysis is devoted to sorting the order of players likely to have an immediate impact, but every year there are a handful of overlooked deep sleepers who emerge to fill a starting role in redraft.

We’re rolling along in our deep sleeper series, and by now you know the drill — these are guys who have something in their profile that gives us hope, despite what their depressed ADP is telling us. Something a little different for this one, as we’re getting our first look at this year’s wide receiver Phenom Index numbers, a Jon Moore metric which measures age-adjusted…...
