Conor O’Driscoll
September 5, 2022
At this stage of the draft season, the first sweat after you join the draft lobby is all too familiar. Will Loki bless us with a draft slot that allows us to select a member of the Power 5?

Angad Uppal
August 31, 2022
Angad Uppal examines two wide receivers going in the middle rounds and asks whether their 2022 outlooks justify their rising prices.

RotoViz Ranks Versus FFPC ADP: 2 Wide Receivers Who Are Overpriced in FFPC Drafts and 2 to Buy Instead
Corbin Young
August 30, 2022
When sharp rankers, analysts, and fantasy players have players higher or lower in the RotoViz ranks, we should take notice.

If anything, it’s a starting point to evaluate whether these players…...

Corbin Young
August 24, 2022
We’re at the point where most know the sleepers, breakouts, and players to avoid. There’s nothing like the extra hype from preseason games for Isaiah Likely, Khalil Shakir, Romeo Doubs, or [insert player name here].
