Risers and Fallers, Free Agency Fallout Edition: The Latest Moves Uncover New Values at QB and RB
Zachary Krueger
April 2, 2021
Over the last several weeks we have been looking at players who could be poised for a rise or fall in ADP in wake of free agency and the NFL Draft. The beginning of the NFL offseason offers a unique opportunity to take calculated risks on players with unknown circumstances. These risks could lead to you nailing a pick whose ADP has skyrocketed since free…...
Quarterback ADP Gold Rush: QBs Are Being Drafted Earlier Than Ever
Michael Dubner
March 31, 2021
Late-Round Quarterback has been a staple of value-based drafting strategy for nearly a decade. Are we seeing the tides turn as many are advocating for drafting early-round dual-threat QBs? The two primary ways to measure the success of fantasy football draft picks are production and value, with production largely measured by fantasy points and value accounting for the cost to acquire (aka draft capital). Earlier…...
Daniel Jones And Kenny Golladay Are Poised to Follow in the ADP Smashing Footsteps of Allen and Diggs
Madison Parkhill
March 30, 2021
Last year, when many fantasy analysts were bemoaning an elite receiver switching teams to a run-first offense led by an inaccurate but mobile quarterback, I wrote that both the receiver and the quarterback were targets. The receiver was Stefon Diggs. The quarterback was Josh Allen. They each finished third in PPR scoring. This year a similar situation has arisen, with Kenny Golladay headed to the…...
Navigating the Running Back Landscape During the Free Agency Frenzy, and Identifying Values in FFPC Best Ball Drafts
Zachary Krueger
March 24, 2021
During the first week of free agency, several teams saw changes to their running back depth chart. While the Texans added two seasoned veterans in Mark Ingram and Phillip Lindsay, the Raiders and Falcons added one each of their own in Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis. While some of these moves may bode well for the newly signed running backs, they could also negatively impact the incumbent backs on their…...
Jonathan Taylor’s Rookie Comps Are Awesome, But Even They Understate His 2021 Upside
Amr Gabr
March 23, 2021
Amr Gabr examines the Jonathan Taylor disconnect between fantasy owners and NFL GMs. Were the armchair experts right all along? And what does this mean for his chances to join the truly elite in 2021? Fantasy and draft Twitter collectively had few questions about Wisconsin star Jonathan Taylor as he headed into the 2020 NFL draft. The consensus RB1 was often considered the next great…...
Davante Adams Superfoods: 2020’s Functional Fantasy Points King
Michael Dubner
March 22, 2021
Michael Dubner continues his 2020 NFL Best Ball Review, this time using Functional Fantasy Points to reveal the WRs who contributed the most fantasy football points to starting rosters. Last offseason I debuted the concept of Functional Fantasy Points (FFP), which are the fantasy points a player scores above baseline at their position on a weekly basis. FFP accounts for the volatility that we care…...
Corey Davis Lands in New York After a Highly Efficient 2020 Season, but Will it Be Wheels Up in 2021?
Zachary Krueger
March 16, 2021
Earlier today it was announced that former Titans wide receiver Corey Davis will be continuing his career in New York with the Jets. The former first-round pick signed a three-year, $37.5 million deal ($27 million guaranteed) and now looks to be a part of the new system ushered in under first year head coach Robert Saleh. As a member of the Titans, Davis never quite produced at…...
Revisiting ADP Risers and Fallers in FFPC Best Ball Drafts, Part 2: Pre-Free Agency Buys at WR and TE That You Can’t Overlook
Zachary Krueger
March 11, 2021
At the beginning of February, I wrote an article about players whose ADPs could rise and fall in FFPC best ball tournaments prior to the player movement that will take place during free agency. As rumors continue to swirl, and teams make cuts/trades in hopes of finding more salary cap space to work with, we are left to watch the fluctuation of ADPs all offseason…....

In this 2020 NFL Best Ball Review, Michael Dubner uses Functional Fantasy Points to expose the WRs who contributed the fewest fantasy football points to starting rosters. Last offseason I debuted the concept of Functional Fantasy Points (FFP), which are the fantasy points a player scores above baseline at their position calculated on a weekly basis.

Just How Crazy Was 2020? Insights from the Win the Flex App and Strategies for 2021 Drafts
Blair Andrews
March 5, 2021
Drafting successfully means, at least in part, picking the right kinds of players and avoiding the wrong kinds. We provide a lot of guidance at RotoViz on who the right and wrong kind of players to draft are. Still, getting the player selection tactics down is only part of the solution for finding the game-changing win rates we know are possible. Shawn Siegele has detailed…...

A.J. Dillon Might Not Be the Next Derrick Henry, but His Comps Suggest We Haven’t Seen His Ceiling Yet
Zachary Krueger
March 3, 2021
Last week, as part of the RotoViz Rookie Review Series, I took a look at Rams running back Cam Akers and some of his closest rookie comps according to the RotoViz Screener. For this week’s article, I take a look at yet another running back, but one who saw significantly less work than Akers did in 2020. The Green Bay Packers had a controversial rookie draft class. Coming off…...
2021 QB Range of Outcome Projections: Justin Herbert Is a Star
Dave Caban
March 2, 2021
Dave Caban considers 2021 quarterback projections built by the RotoViz Range of Outcomes app. The Range of Outcomes app (ROO) is one of my favorite tools we have at RotoViz. No joke, I actually get butterflies in my stomach when I roll it forward each year and get a first glimpse of the results. Last year, I wrote an in-depth article that details what the…...
Best Ball Workshop: Playing DEF Correctly in FFPC Leagues Is Like Adding Another Star to Your Roster
Shawn Siegele
February 26, 2021
Shawn Siegele shows you how to gain a big advantage in your FFPC Classic best ball league just by making some simple decisions on defense. The rhetoric around fantasy leagues increasingly focuses on hitting a high win-rate player early and trying to land a sleeper. Of course, this helps. And I’m (very) biased, but I think RotoViz is your leading source of those hits. Last…...
A Late Season Surge Has Drafters High on Cam Akers in 2021, but What Do His Comps Suggest?
Zachary Krueger
February 26, 2021
The Rams drafted running back Cam Akers in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft in hopes of replacing former stud Todd Gurley. Often viewed as a solid athlete whose production was capped by a poor supporting cast at Florida State, Akers entered his rookie season with a ceiling some thought was yet to be realized. A strong finish to the season that resulted in two playoff…...

Shawn Siegele
February 18, 2021
Want your best ball teams to start with baked-in win rates equivalent to owning Derrick Henry in a record-setting season? Shawn Siegele uses the FFPC Roster Construction Explorer to show you how. Last year Henry rushed 378 times and averaged a career high 5.4 yards per carry. His elite combination of rushing volume and explosiveness produced the NFL’s fourth 2,000-yard rushing season of the last…...
You’re Probably Targeting Upside and Safety in the Wrong Parts of Your Draft … And Killing Your Best Ball Win Rates – The Wrong Read, No. 67
Blair Andrews
February 16, 2021
The previous Wrong Read looked at best ball win rates as a function of age and experience. The surprising finding is that at almost every position, younger and less experienced players underperform. Two factors combine to make this the case. First, the optionality profile of best ball leagues makes them less ideal for players with a wide range of outcomes than traditional redraft leagues. If…...
Can You Play Teammates Like Kittle, Aiyuk, and Samuel Together? The Historical Results Will Surprise
Shawn Siegele
February 11, 2021
Just how many of your stars can come from the same NFL team? Shawn Siegele uses the Best Ball Win Rate Explorer to examine the results of drafting multiple wide receivers and stacking them with a tight end. Yesterday, Blair Andrews and I were a couple of picks away from making our selection at 11.11 in an FFPC Superflex, and Deebo Samuel was a screaming…...

Shawn Siegele
February 10, 2021
Because of the fantastic tools at RotoViz and articles like those Sam Wallace highlighted yesterday, Shawn was able to turn a handful of FFPC Main Event teams into more than $10,000 last year. Today, he’ll demonstrate how to turn some of these tools to profit in your own leagues. In the previous edition of the Best Ball Workshop, we talked about using the RCE to…...
