The platform is different, and so are the players who have become more popular in recent weeks. Here are six Fanball ADP risers on three different teams who have seen their stock rise over the…...

We’re continuing our run through the Perfect Best Ball Draft (pre-NFL draft) with a look today at Rounds 5-8. The middle rounds of Best Ball drafts are where you really separate yourself from the field, as most of the “studs” are off the board. If you want to know the best players to pick in Rounds 1-4, check out the first article of this series…....

Earlier this week, I looked at five players who were experiencing a bump in popularity over at the FFPC. In the interest of balance, it’s only fair that we look at the other side of the coin. With that in mind, here are five situations where high stakes fantasy players have started to cool. Free agency did not exactly make these players winners, not in…...

At the time of writing, the NFL Draft is still scheduled to take place on time. At the time of writing, we should be getting a 2020 NFL season. Obviously a lot can change between now (whenever you are reading this) and then, but let us proceed with the assumption that there will be football in 2020. If this is the case, then there will…...

In Lesson 5 of the 2020 Best Ball Workshop, Shawn Siegele looks at how to combine your tactics at the onesie positions. Conserving roster spots at quarterback, tight end, and defense can play an important role, but recent results suggest owners may give it too much emphasis.

The RotoViz Best Ball Workshop uses intelligence from the Roster Construction Explorer to beat your competitors at every position. Did the lessons lead to success last year? Why are drafters still not utilizing one of the three key pillars to QB selection? Just how much can you boost your win rate with a counterintuitive hack?

With the 2019 season already over I was looking at potential bargains entering the 2020 preseason with my eyes locked on the upcoming draft season. There are plenty of things that can turn a player into a buy-low candidate and put a bargain-tag next to his name: a drop in performance, a new teammate being used more on offense, a set of bad game scripts,…...

If you drafted Michael Gallup as a rookie, you were admittedly disappointed. However, like everything in fantasy football, context matters. Gallup’s incoming measurables and draft capital were strong but not elite. His landing spot in 2018 came with some question marks such as: A quarterback who failed to eclipse 4,000 passing yards in a season during his career A team that averaged 26th in the…...
