Predicting Future NFL Draft Capital for Wide Receivers
Travis May
May 26, 2020
First off, predicting the NFL Draft pick by pick is truly impossible. That’s not what we’re trying to do here. When it comes to fantasy football we like to see wide receivers drafted in Rounds 1-3 of the NFL Draft.

Travis May
May 19, 2020

So, last year I took a look at some of the most impactful production variables and combined them to create what I call the Adjusted Production Index. It’s…...

The College Football Transfer Portal: 2020 Watchlist
Travis May
April 1, 2020
In case you missed it, I recently dove into the success rates of transfer quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. And at first glance, it looks like transfers, and transfer success in general is on the rise. Quarterback transfers certainly look like the safest play. Wide receiver transfers are trending in that direction. And transfer running backs – although we don’t have a huge sample…...

Travis May
March 31, 2020
If you have paid any attention to college football over the past couple years, you have almost surely heard of the NCAA Transfer Portal. Big-name players and recruits like Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Justin Shorter, Tavien Feaster, Trey Sermon, and many more have made the Transfer Portal impossible to ignore. But what is the Transfer Portal? Where does it lead? And do players…...

Is Michael Pittman Jr. a Late Breakout To Believe In? A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile
Travis May
February 3, 2020
Michael Pittman Jr. has the former NFL player bloodline going for him, but why else should we believe this young man will succeed in the NFL? Is he just another “good, but not great” receiver from USC? Does it matter that it took him forever to break out for an entire season? Let’s find out.

Is Isaiah Hodgins the Next A.J. Green or Another Hakeem Butler? A 2020 NFL Draft Prospect Profile
Travis May
January 22, 2020
At first glance, Isaiah Hodgins checks several boxes that we here at Rotoviz like to see. How is it that so few seem to be excited about this young A.J.

Chuba Hubbard has quickly become a household name in college football, but the jury is still out on when he’ll head to the NFL.
