It’s NFL pro day season! The final step for many of the top incoming prospects before the NFL Draft. Luckily we actually had an NFL combine this year, so we won’t be exclusively reliant on Pro Day results for physical testing like we were in 2021. But what makes a good pro day? And how much does that really matter? We’ll dive into that a…...

As the fifth running back taken in the 2021 NFL Draft, Michael Carter went in the early fourth round. Although Carter landed on the Jets, he flashed RB1 upside in Week 7 and 8 after sharing the workload with Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson. As the second North Carolina back drafted in 2021, Carter popped in the advanced stats like his former teammate Javonte Williams…....

It’s Mock Draft Season! You may have noticed that every major sports publication has been pumping out mock NFL Draft after mock NFL Draft. Every single one tells a unique story. Each one its own masterpiece. But I wondered, what do all these mock drafts mean for fantasy football this year and beyond? And what if I could combine them all into one to best…...

Shawn Siegele examines the 2022 NFL combine results for small-school stars Skyy Moore and Jalen Tolbert, including an under-the-radar element that adds sparkle to their profiles. We’ve been looking at big combine stories this week, from Winners and Losers at RB and WR, to the Freak Score stars, and the key athletic comps for top prospects. Ben Gretch and I broke down all of the…...

Shawn Siegele uses the NFL Workout Explorer to evaluate all the physical comps for top prospects in the 2022 NFL draft. The 2022 NFL combine came along and did what it always does; it dramatically altered the landscape. The top prospects generally moved up, and while RB continues to look relatively thin, the WR position is now populated with sleeper options galore. Travis May’s Combine…...

The NFL Combine is wrapped up for the offensive players. We have all this athletic testing data. But what does it mean? Here at Rotoviz we’ll spend the next few months helping you understand the interaction of production and athleticism, but today we need to recalibrate how the NFL will likely value some of the big winners and losers. We’ve reported the Freak Score results…...

Shawn Siegele looks at the WR Freak Scores for the NFL’s fastest combine class ever. If you’ve been compiling picks for the maligned 2022 rookie draft, you got what you wanted on Thursday. A record eight WRs ran below 4.4 at the 2022 NFL combine, and several of the other big names also ran well. Many of these players will start rising on draft boards…....

The NFL combine is here! Every year millions of football fans tune in to watch the “Underwear Olympics” of the NFL to see just how athletic all their favorite incoming rookies are. And every year there’s hot debate as to which metrics matter. The truth of it? Most of the NFL combine metrics generate very little measurable statistical signal in terms of predicting future outcomes…...

This year’s quarterback class is already slated to be one of the most controversial in recent memory. From the athletic upside of Malik Willis (Liberty), to the complete opposite with Carson Strong. From the early elite analytical success of Sam Howell, to the bizarre fifth-year breakout for Kenny Pickett. And then there’s the near perfect peak performance of Matt Corral contrasted with the long-term but…...

Kadarius Toney was the fourth receiver off the board in the 2021 NFL Draft. Outside of two big games in Weeks 4 and 5, Toney’s rookie season was one in which he struggled to stay on the field. In July 2021, Toney had COVID-19, then an undisclosed injury in the preseason that later became a hamstring injury. Within the first few weeks of the regular…...

It’s been clear for quite some time that the 2022 NFL Draft Class wouldn’t exactly be “stacked” at the running back position. Breece Hall (Iowa State), Isaiah Spiller (Texas A&M), Kenneth Walker III (Michigan State), and Kyren Williams (Notre Dame) seem to be perceived as the consensus top four right now. But who are some names outside of the obvious that we should be targeting…...

While we may not get a Kyle Pitts in this class — or in any class for a long while — that doesn’t mean that we won’t have some fun tight ends joining the league here soon. In fact, the 2022 NFL Draft is deep at the tight end position. There may not be an elite no-brainer first-round talent, but there are at least five…...

Not too many draft classes have several small-school wide receivers in the mix for top-100 (Days 1 and 2) NFL Draft capital, especially in recent years. In fact, there have only been three receivers selected that early in the last three NFL Drafts who didn’t play in Power Five Conferences (SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, PAC 12). However, the 2022 wide receiver class could…...

The Patriots selected Rhamondre Stevenson out of the University of Oklahoma in the fourth round. When the 2021 NFL Draft occurred, the team had James White and Sony Michel on their roster along with Damien Harris, so Stevenson looked buried. But the Patriots traded Michel to the Rams in late August, opening a small path for Stevenson. Unfortunately, White suffered a season-ending hip injury around…...

Believe it or not, the NFL combine is just around the corner, which means the NFL Draft is too! We’ve gone through a 1QB rookie mock draft, so now it’s time for a Superflex version. If you’ve been following along this fantasy off-season or purchased the Rotoviz Rookie Guide you may have already come across some fantastic mock draft work here looking ahead far and…...

Believe it or not, the NFL combine is just around the corner, which means the NFL Draft is too! It’s time for a single quarterback fantasy football mock draft for the 2022 NFL Draft class! If you’ve been following along this fantasy offseason or purchased the RotoViz Rookie Guide, you may have already come across some fantastic mock draft work here looking ahead far and…...

As a RotoViz subscriber, you know we love young, productive wide receivers. It doesn’t hurt that Rondale Moore also has a staggering workout profile, placing above the 90th percentile for wide receivers in the 40-yard dash, shuttle, 3-cone, vertical jump, and agility score. When the Arizona Cardinals selected Moore with the 49th overall pick, it seemed like Kyler Murray had his Tyreek Hill. How did…...

Shawn Siegele looks at the RB depth charts for all 32 teams and plays out a few of the scenarios that could take place over the next several months. This is an exercise I do for myself every offseason. To be sure, most of the specifics will end up being wrong. I try to project what would happen in an efficient market where teams with…...
