Okay, so a rookie tight end isn’t going to have a big impact on dynasty drafts in general. But relative to the impact rookie tight ends normally have, this one would qualify as significant. It’s also maybe a commentary on the Play the Draft marketplace. That’s how Play the Draft currently values the top three TEs. Based on ownership percentage, rank, FRX, and price, the…...

Anthony Amico wrote a YOLO QB Power Ranking yesterday that I highly endorse because it puts Brett Hundley at the top of the list. I wrote about Hundley last year, and I continue to think he would be a good alternative for a team that finds itself in QB purgatory or is faced with the prospect of paying a large contract to a mediocre or…...

Play the Draft projects running back Paul Perkins at pick 84 overall. The Indianapolis Colts have the 82nd pick. Here’s how Perkins-to-the-Colts could shake up dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts. Perkins is just our seventh-ranked RB but I think he might deserve higher billing. If we fudge just a little bit, and pretend his 4.54 40-yard dash time was really 4.5 even, then he fits into the highest…...

Before free agency began I wrote about how you could apply Zero RB strategy to the dynasty offseason. If you heeded my advice you might have traded T.J. Yeldon away before he became the wrong back to own in Jacksonville. Or you might have acquired Ryan Mathews and DeMarco Murray, who went from sharing one backfield to leading two. But it’s not too late to apply this strategy. The NFL…...

When playing My Fantasy League best ball leagues (usually refereed to as MFL10s), it is important to scour for value with every pick. If you can get some cheap touches with your late picks, that can be the difference between winning an MFL10, and finishing out of the money (usually first or second). There is one TE whose current ADP makes absolutely no sense. Virgil Green is…...

Recently, the RotoViz staff ranked Corey Coleman as the 2016 NFL Draft’s best receiver. This differs from the most recent RotoViz Scouting Index, which has him ranked third. Not only do I think Coleman is the best WR in this class, but I think he could be similar to Odell Beckham, who was a dominant “small” WR drafted in 2014. I plan on making the argument for…...

Here’s a look at the value of fantasy football dynasty rookie picks using our Dynasty Trade Calculator. As the NFL and dynasty drafts draw closer, lots of attention is being paid to rookie picks. Are they as valuable as many assume? Might you be better off with a veteran instead?… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member?...

If there is one thing we love here at RotoViz, it is the YOLO QB theory. For both fantasy and reality, there is definitely merit to using QBs with a cheap acquisition cost and rushing ability. In 2015, Tyrod Taylor shocked the NFL with terrific play despite spending his first four years in the NFL as a backup. That lends itself to the question: who is…...

This will be a short post because I don’t think there’s a lot you need to do right now from a dynasty standpoint; James Hanna is more of a wait and see guy. Here’s a heatmap from the Box Score Scout that shows some athleticism measures for James Hanna and some guys he’s similar to. Note that a few of the comps in that table are…...

Carson Wentz and Jared Goff are currently viewed as the top two quarterbacks according to DLF Rookie ADP data, followed by a second-tier of passers evenly distributed through the next few rounds. Success for signal-callers taken in the later rounds of the NFL draft is largely dependent on their propensity to learn, improve and adapt. It also matters where they land….

We’ve been speculating on rookie landing spots recently, and you know what would really shake up dynasty rookie drafts and seems pretty plausible? The Carolina Panthers drafting Notre Dame wide receiver Will Fuller. Why is this plausible? Well, Charles Kleinheksel looked at scouting grades and historic NFL draft averages and found that Will Fuller to the Panthers lines up almost perfectly. You should check out his…...

There have been three updates of the Rotoviz Scouting Index (RSI) since the NFL combine and there have been some winners and losers during that timeframe. Shawn Siegele did a thorough job of breaking down the different comps associated with the post-combine time period. I’ll go through the movements of the last three RSI which are version eight, nine and ten. All of these are authored by the…...

Both Matthew Freedman and Shawn Siegele have compared Notre Dame running back C.J. Prosise to David Johnson, but Shawn himself admits that’s a huge stretch after Prosise recorded poor performances in the agility drills at his pro day. Know who does have the athleticism necessary to be the next David Johnson? And is maybe even more athletic? A sleeper RB from Eastern Michigan by the name of Darius Jackson.  The Athleticism…...

We’ve been doing some speculative rookie landing spot discussions around here lately, and contemplating what the implications of these dream scenarios would be for rookie dynasty drafts. Today I’m going to look at Devontae Booker to the Bears.  THE PROSPECT We don’t have any measurables to look at yet but here are some comparables based on size and production. So why isn’t he a being viewed as an upper…...

It’s my last article of the year and it’s a little bittersweet as I’m excited for the playoffs to start, but sad that this will be my last time talking with you all.

There’s about three weeks left until the NFL draft and this is when the RotoViz team starts really digging deep to uncover those hidden gems that are off the common draftniks radar. As I was putting together my wide receiver rankings I couldn’t help but notice that I was the highest on Ball State’s Jordan Williams…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this...
