Shawn Siegele uses the RotoViz tools to find three tight end plays for Week 4. I’m filling in for our TE guru, Neil Dutton, this week. Let’s dive right into the intel from the Game Level Similarity Projections, Strength of Schedule Streamer, and NFL Player Explorer to find three options at different price levels for Week 4. 1 Trade, 1 Sleeper, and 1 Streamer with…...
A man . . . sees a unicorn cross his path and disappear. That in itself is startling, but there are precedents for mystical encounters of various kinds . . . until — “My God,” says a second man, “I must be dreaming, I thought I saw a unicorn.” At which point, a dimension is added that makes the experience as alarming as it will…...
Dan: I’m older, and I’m much less friendly to $%#@ing change. Al Swearengen: Change ain’t lookin’ for friends. Change calls the tune we dance to. — Deadwood Rest-of-season rankings felt like the appropriate frame for this week’s Zero RB Universe. Nothing distills the backward- and forward-looking elements of RB evaluation quite like having to rank the players ROS. To understand where the backfields have gone…...
Shawn Siegele breaks down the weekly plan, broaches the important questions in the podcast preview, and explains how subscribers can use the RotoViz tools to capitalize again in Week 3. “We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our…...
Shawn Siegele examines the evolving running back landscape and breaks down some of the important tactical decisions in redraft and dynasty. The Zero RB Watch list will become the Zero RB Universe and be both the same and different in 2023. It’ll include enough RB peripherals from the Advanced Stat Explorer, Stealing Signals tool, SOS Streamer, Weekly Stat Explorer, NFL Pace tool, Game Splits, FFPC…...
I can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and I can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and I can do you all three concurrent or consecutive, but I can’t do you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory—they’re all blood, you see. – Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead Week 1 brought a torrent of victories for the…...
Shawn Siegele details what the 2023 in-season will look like from a tools, articles, and podcasting perspective. With a glorious, harrowing, and occasionally desultory Week 1 mostly in the books, it’s overreaction season. Talking about Week 1 is almost as much fun as watching it play out on the gridiron (especially if you were starting players like Tua Tagovailoa, Tyler Allgeier, and Brandon Aiyuk). During…...
With new information after a week of cuts, injuries, and wild ADP developments, Shawn Siegele re-examines all 15 backs from the Zero RB Candidates Countdown. In the ever evolving world of fantasy pricing, three backs fall out, and three new players join the list. The Update helps me work through the logic behind the RB selections ahead of my most important drafts and hopefully provide…...
We’ve arrived at the best week of the fantasy season. Redraft week. And the best mix of entry level ($350), field size, and grand prize ($1 million) comes in the FFPC FantasyPros tournament. Last week, I published my 2023 Home League Draft Plan and then complemented it a couple of days ago with the player-specific version, 39 Priority Targets and How to Play Them. Today,…...
Shawn Siegele finished No. 2 overall in the 2021 FFPC Best Ball Tournament and reached the finals of the 2022 FFPC Superflex Tournament (both with his Overtime co-host Colm Kelly). Now he looks at what the Roster Construction Explorer tells you about winning in 2023. The original FFPC Superflex tournament has filled, but not to worry. Superflex 2 offers a $10,000 grand prize in a…...
Shawn Siegele breaks down his philosophy for 2023 drafts by position group and highlights his 39 priority targets.

In Part 1 of the 2023 Zero RB Candidates Countdown, Shawn Siegele profiled backs with the types of explosive physical profiles that could help you win even at bargain basement costs. In Part 2, he broke down the league’s most dangerous backups, players with standalone value and the talent upside to land in next year’s top-10 backs. Today, he unveils the top five. Welcome to the…...

Shawn Siegele looks at four key elements of fantasy football home leagues and outlines the three planks of a bulletproof home-league draft plan. The biggest draft weekend of the 2023 fantasy season is on the horizon. That means it’s time to dust off your draft plan and prepare to do battle with your extended family, college friends, and long-time co-workers. Whether you’ve got a couple…...
Mike Braude’s fantasy platform provides an excellent window into the 2023 draft landscape and gives us insights into the player targets of top analysts. The Apex Experts League is one of my favorite drafts every year. It gives us a feel of how the best minds in the industry are playing it from both a tactical and player-specific perspective, and it offers a window into…...
Shawn Siegele explains the mechanism that makes trading down your dynasty startup superpower and details the types of trades you can and should make in real leagues. This weekend we posted Completely Revamp Your Startup Strategy With These 3 Key Insights, and in a year where I’ve had more fun writing than ever before, this was probably the piece that I enjoyed the most. If…...

On Monday afternoon, Ben Gretch and I recorded our favorite podcast – the one where we give our first-round predictions for next year’s…...
Shawn Siegele looks at the first round of his 2023 dynasty startup and helps you avoid the mistakes that effectively eliminate squads from both short- and long-term contention. Bjorn Yang-Vaernet and I are currently involved in a dynasty startup in the RV TriFlex format at the FFPC. Since this lineup and scoring format have become the default for new dynasty leagues across the industry, these…...
Shawn Siegele explores the evidence for a cheap Underdog hack that helps you dominate all positions and pushes your advance rates through the roof. When Colm Kelly and I draft our RotoViz Overtime squads, we tend to emphasize Zero RB constructions that include Elite TE builds. The WR-heavy approach dominated 2022, and top TEs often give you a trump card through the playoffs even when…...
