Forgiveness is the Key to Healing, Part 1: 4 Players Who Burned Best Ball Teams Last Season, But Deserve Another Chance in 2024
Kevin Szafraniec
June 10, 2024
Cautionary tales abound warning of the risks involved when dealing with unrequited love. Just turn on any Lifetime movie if you don’t believe me. As a fantasy football player, at times I have found myself to be just as irrational as any scorned lover in a made-for-TV movie. Being too quick to write off an underperforming player, and/or refusing to heed evidence that is contrary…...
The Roster Construction Explorer Provides a Key Hack for Beating the FFPC Superflex Best Ball Tournament
Shawn Siegele
June 7, 2024
Shawn Siegele dials up the RotoViz Roster Construction Explorer and looks at a key hack for beating the FFPC Superflex best ball tournament. Last year was a lot of fun in the Main Event with two teams placing in the money during the race (No. 30 overall with Ben Gretch and No. 125 overall with Colm Kelly). I loved the sweat with Ben as we…...
Elite Onesies, Bye Weeks, and Opportunity Cost: The High-Wire Balancing Act of a Real-Life Underdog Draft
Blair Andrews
June 5, 2024
As results try to stay ahead of wide receiver inflation, the 2024 landscape offers serious pressure to load up on the position early, especially as RB options in Rounds 2 through 5 are less appealing. Yet this is easier said than done in some ways. It’s also more important than ever to come away with at least one — and in some cases preferably two…...
Brock Bowers May Just Be the Best TE Prospect We Have Ever Seen, But Could His Landing Spot with the Raiders Limit His Ceiling?
Kevin Szafraniec
June 4, 2024
The NFL potential of Brock Bowers has been well-documented this offseason here at RotoViz, as both Blair Andrews and Shawn Siegele have provided fantastic articles detailing Bowers’ standing as a true generational prospect. In a landscape where the term “generational” is being slapped onto players seemingly every year, Bowers lives up to the hype. While his talent is not in question, Bowers’ landing spot in…...
Shawn Siegele’s 27 Priority Targets for Summer FFPC Drafts
Shawn Siegele
June 3, 2024
After an exciting 2023 FFPC season where he placed two Main Event teams and reached an FFPC best ball finals for the third straight year, Shawn Siegele provides an early look at his priority targets for the summer. In the past, I’ve put my priority targets list out in August to get subscribers ready for their most important Main Event and home league drafts. As…...
Is “WR2 Theory” the Key to Stockpiling Value? 12 Wide Receiver Depth Charts That Give You Surprising Upside
Jeff Matson
May 30, 2024
Background In the offseason I’m always reading articles and consuming fantasy football content trying to catch the latest new theory in the fantasy analysis world. I came across a theory by Scott Simpson (@NimbleWNumbers) he calls “Wide Receiver 2 Theory.” The theory is that drafters tend to overdraft the team’s WR1, but often the player with the higher ADP can end up finishing the season…...
Combining the Rankings and ADP Apps to Crush Your Drafts: The Must-Have Picks at 2 Key Positions
Conor O’Driscoll
May 29, 2024
As a drafter, my style is a little unique in that I place less emphasis on having my own player takes and more on more general drafting skills. I want to focus on being able to: Navigate tiers within positions effectively Make good decisions on risers and fallers Position myself where I’m able to take the best values in the middle rounds without getting locked…...
Jaylen Warren is Still Criminally Undervalued: Deciphering the Potential Outcomes for the 2024 Steelers Backfield
Kevin Szafraniec
May 28, 2024
In 2023, Jaylen Warren outpaced Najee Harris in PPR points despite receiving 50 fewer opportunities than the former first-round pick. Since Warren’s rookie year, it has been evident to most people (at least outside of the Steelers organization) that the former undrafted free agent is — to put it bluntly — just a flat-out better football player than Harris. With the two Steelers running backs’…...
Correlation, Causation, Humility-Based Drafting, and the Importance of a Top-10 QB: How the Falcons Talked Themselves Into Michael Penix and How You Can Profit
Blair Andrews
May 20, 2024
While the Falcons’ selection of Michael Penix at No. 8 overall was a head scratcher — especially after the team signed Kirk Cousins — we can at least take solace in the fact that some explanation for the pick has since been made public. Here’s Albert Breer explaining how head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot pitched owner Arthur Blank on the notion…...
Is Week 17 All That Matters? Best Ball Mania 5 Is My Favorite Prize Structure Yet
Michael Dubner
May 16, 2024
Underdog’s Best Ball Mania 5 boasts a staggering $15,000,000 prize pool, promising to turn one lucky drafter into a millionaire and 19 others into six-figure winners. Michael Dubner breaks down the prize structure and how it impacts our drafting strategy. Two years ago, I collaborated with friend of RotoViz Peter Overzet on the viral “Week 17 is all that matters” video that became the meme…...
Troy Franklin Checks (Almost) All the Boxes and Is the Steal of Every Draft
Blair Andrews
May 14, 2024
When we’re talking about players who check all the boxes, we typically mean that they are players who perhaps don’t jump off the page, yet they do a little bit of everything. Justin Jefferson’s prospect profile didn’t wow us with massive market shares or blazing speed, but he was good at everything: he declared early, he broke out early, he hit all our favorite production…...

The Times They Are A-Changin’: Will a New Coaching Staff Help Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks’ Receivers Fly High in 2024?
Kevin Szafraniec
April 20, 2024
POP QUIZ, HOTSHOT: Who was the Seattle Seahawks’ last head coach prior to Pete Carroll getting the job in 2010? THE ANSWER: Jim Mora Jr.? Yes, Mora Jr. had one forgettable (at least to me, apparently) 5-11 season as the head coach of the Seahawks following Mike Holmgren’s 10-year run in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe I’m the one getting old, but I find it hard…...
Is This 2024 Draft Slider About to Follow in Terry McLaurin’s Footsteps?
Shawn Siegele
April 11, 2024
Shawn Siegele begins the 2024 draft prospects sleeper series with an intriguing wide receiver who goes late in pre-draft best ball contests. Terry McLaurin burst onto the NFL stage as a rookie. During the 2019 season he flashed serious vertical ability, and while he’s never fully emerged as a star — perhaps due to a series of poor quarterbacks pulling the trigger — McLaurin has…...
The Texans Might Need a Bigger Boat: 4 ADP Risers, 4 Fallers, and the Buying Opportunity For Each in the Aftermath of the Stefon Diggs Trade
Kevin Szafraniec
April 8, 2024
Following the Houston Texans’ sudden acquisition of Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills for a second-round pick in the 2025 draft, fantasy managers were left scrambling to assess the shifting values of the fantasy assets on both sides of the deal. At the time Diggs was acquired, all three of the Texans’ top wideouts — Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs, and Tank Dell — were being…...
