There’s a new edition of the RotoViz Scouting Index out, and you know what that means: updates on the 2016 quarterback class. Last time, I ranked the 2016 QB class. This time? I’ll rank 2016s top QB prospects in relation to prospects from the last couple of seasons so we can get a better idea of just how good these guys are. Let’s get to…...

Jared Cook has signed with the Packers which probably more than doubles the value of my Jared Cook dynasty shares from being worth zero to being worth… zero? Fucking math…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

This article is continuing a two-part monthly series called Dynasty Stock Market that discusses which players I am buying or selling on my Dynasty rosters. The March buy article about Isaiah Crowell and Ryan Mathews can be found here. The February installments can be found here (buys) and here (sells). The January installments can he found here (buys) and here (sells)….

This is a long rant about the game theory involved in the valuation of rookie picks in Dynasty fantasy football. Not in a general, grandiose way, just specifically about how picks from drafts in the distant future compare in value to picks in the present. You should probably stop reading here, and if you choose to continue, I preemptively apologize. There is a fundamental issue I…...

The running back prospect Sweet 16 is fun for the whole family. It should give you an idea of what the RotoViz staff thinks about a variety of RB prospects, and also the methodology some of our writers use when selecting them….

It’s another Sunday with a short slate, and a less conventional one in the sense that we have very little direction from Vegas. Four of the five games currently sit with no spreads. That’s a tell-tale sign that we’re getting to the end of the NBA season, as teams are resting players in order to get them ready for the playoffs (or tanking to get a…...

Welcome to NBA DFS silly season where players shutdown for the remainder of the year with nonexistent injuries and “DNP – Rest” appears in the box score on a nightly basis…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

Yesterday I ran an experiment comparing Play the Draft’s current projections against a mashup of the RotoViz Scouting Index & historical NFL draft trends. Today I’ll look at some of the players about whom the two sources disagree the most. Quarterback Name Pos PTD Draft Hx Draft Diff Dak Prescott QB 110 73.40 36.60 Christian Hackenberg QB 65 132.40 -67.40 Compared to Play the Draft…...

I’ve been going through the Sim Scores Apps recently and comparing them to ADP. Recently I came across a tight end that is a ridiculous value relative to the types of comps his 2015 season elicits. According to the TE Sim Scores App, the 25 closest TE seasons since 2000 (weighing statistical measures and age) to Gary Barnidge‘s 2015 are as follows. Eighteen of those…...

It hasn’t been a great year for sports punditry. Whether it’s former players and coaches, columnists, or your average in-gut-we-trust fan, all have seen their well-established but entirely untested narratives get blown to bits by the geeks and nerds….

What a wild ride NBA DFS has been since the All-Star break. With all of the craziness going on, I’ve been pulling back the reigns on my cash game play, looking to ride this wave of variance to a GPP win. You may see this approach reflected in my picks. There are nine games on tap for tonight, and some serious value…. Membership Required You must...

Just a couple of free agency signings of note to go over. First, Nate Washington signed with the Patriots, which would create the league’s messiest depth chart at wide receiver if that distinction didn’t already belong to the Eagles. Ignoring Julian Edelman, since he’s the receiver whose spot on the depth chart doesn’t seem to be in doubt, let’s take a look at the other…...

Here at the RotoViz lab, we’re always experimenting with new ways of combining disparate bits of information into something new and meaningful. Sometimes the results are more interesting than actionable, but still worth sharing. Here’s an attempt to project the NFL draft – and identify discrepancies in the values of incoming rookies – using data from Play the Draft and the Rookie Scouting Index. Here’s what…...

Welcome back everybody. As a resident of New York hopefully your week has been better then mine, but if not hopefully we can get you back on track tonight. Make sure you’re taking advantage of all the great tools at RotoViz, including the On the Daily Podcast and the Game Splits App. Lets get to tonight’s picks. Point Guard Chris Paul – $9,900 on FD,…...

One thing that comes up any time a player changes teams is trying to figure out whether the player was being held back by their previous team, or whether they might have been propped up by their previous team. There probably isn’t a really good way to know for sure the relative talent level of all of the inter-connected players on a field, but Kevin…...

I can’t believe I’m saying this in the year of our lord 2016, but Darren McFadden is a high-upside, low-cost dynasty buy. You should be trying to trade for him everywhere. Will the Cowboys Add Another Significant RB? I think the answer to this is no, for two reasons. The first is that they don’t need to. They have McFadden, who had over 1,400 yards from scrimmage…...

Kevin Cole has been pumping out some amazing regression tree analysis on a variety of topics especially his work on what makes a successful wide receiver prospect. Yesterday I gave you four under the radar WRs to consider. Today I look at the other end of the spectrum. Here are four highly ranked WRs to reconsider. I am including the regression tree below as a reference. This…...
