I’ve focused on two macro strategies so far in the Underdog Best Ball Tournament. Modified Zero RB grants us more reliable access to a massive ceiling more than any other strategy. Hyperfragile RB also grants us access to a massive ceiling but comes with greater injury risk. I’ve then supplemented those strategies with two other key tactics. First, I have a few roster construction requirements,…...

It’s no secret that getting exposure to high scoring offenses is a great way to land elite fantasy options. Think of someone like Julio Jones for the Atlanta Falcons. They have been one of the most pass-heavy teams over the past few years, so it makes sense that they would field an elite pass-catching option for fantasy purposes. Using that same train of thought, let’s…...

One of the unique positions in a fantasy football lineup is the tight end slot. The elite options are apparent each season and require significant draft capital. The second tier of possibilities is often a mixed bag of older veterans who have lost a step combined with young upstarts looking to take the next level. The rest of the tight end options are either weekly…...

Michael Dubner proposes the use of Functional Fantasy Points as a measure for volatility, and finds a counterintuitive result in the way you can use volatility to your advantage in best ball tactics. Will Fuller is a boom-or-bust option. Larry Fitzgerald is Mr. Reliable. You’ve probably heard something to that effect before, but have you ever wondered whether consistency actually matters in fantasy football? It…...

All good things must come to an end, and as this is the final installment of the NFC portion of this series, 3 Players RotoViz Rankers Are Higher on Than FFPC Drafters is no exception. Over the last several weeks, Neil Dutton and I have taken a look at players from every division who RotoViz rankers like more than those in FFPC drafts. Check out all…...

In my recent piece, I used the RotoViz Range of Outcomes App to highlight three wide receivers who have a significant difference in where they’re ranked in the App compared to their current ADP. Continuing with another of our incredible tools, I’m going to use the NFL Pace App to uncover hidden values at the wide receiver position. The NFL Pace App is a fantastic…...

The amount of data available within the RotoViz database is incredibly immense. One of my favorites, the Range of Outcomes App, uses historical data to predict and visualize player performance for this upcoming season. I will highlight three wide receivers who have a significant disparity between where the Range of Outcomes App (ROO) has them slotted and where their respective ADP stands as of today…....

I’ve talked quite a bit about roster construction in the past. I’ve frequently mentioned how it’s often just as important, and sometimes more important, who you don’t draft with each draft selection as it is who you select. The opportunity cost of each pick is something you should always be monitoring throughout the draft process. Savvy drafters know that different areas of the draft offer…...

Stacking players from the same team is a long-standing tradition in fantasy football. But how do we view truly stacking a team as opposed to pairing one player from a team with another? Vlad Sedler pointed this out in a recent tweet, which got my wheels turning. Not to be 'that guy' but: A QB-WR on your fantasy team from the same NFL team is…...

With Drafters offering a Best Ball Championship, Dubner looks to gain an edge by looking at the best month to enter the tournament for maximizing points. Drafters launched their Best Ball Championship on July 3. Within three days, over 1,700 owners have already taken their shot at the $25K prize pool. In a tournament with such a top-heavy prize pool (40% of the prizes going…...
