Tim Talmadge
July 23, 2021
Last week, Shawn Siegele and friend of RotoViz Sal Stefanile co-drafted and live-streamed an FPPC best ball slim draft. You can watch the replay here.

Could 2021’s Nyheim Hines Come From The Rams Backfield?
Tim Talmadge
July 22, 2021
In 2021, Nyheim Hines had an ADP outside the top 150. His team had just drafted one of the best college running backs in history, and drafters were wary that he might lose the pass-catching role he’d come to enjoy. Furthermore, it looked like he was the third running back on the team’s depth chart, behind the rookie Jonathan Taylor and the incumbent Marlon Mack. But…...

Tim Talmadge
June 28, 2021

Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara and Jonathan Taylor were the first four selections, and I was staring at a few running backs with red flags. Saquon Barkley, who is recovering from a torn ACL and Derrick Henry, facing inevitable regression and an offensive shake up.((New play caller,…...
I Love Keenan Allen But I Hate His ADP
Tim Talmadge
April 24, 2019
If there’s a surefire way to earn our love here at Rotoviz, it is to be uber-productive. Since being drafted in 2013, Keenan Allen has been one of the most productive receivers in the league. He’s one of only fourteen receivers to haul in 400 receptions over that time and he did it in the second fewest games played. Also Allen’s last two seasons…...

Devonta Freeman Is Undervalued Once Again
Tim Talmadge
June 8, 2018
Coming off of a 2015 breakout season, Shawn Siegele suggested that Devonta Freeman was still wildly undervalued. Shawn showed that his receiving prowess should’ve put him ahead of players like Adrian Peterson and Lamar Miller at the time but instead he was being drafted behind them. It’s now 2018 and the league has moved further toward the dual threat backs, but Freeman is coming off…...
