Hello and welcome to the post-NFL-Draft edition of my annual Top 100 Rookies series! If you’re new to the series, every year I put together 100 rookies entering the NFL and rank them based on the impact I believe they’ll have for fantasy football purposes. So no, this is not a “how good this player will be for real football game impact” conversation. This is…...

We always prefer receivers who declare early. And draft age has long been a key piece of our wide receiver evaluation. It’s been a few years since I’ve looked specifically at draft age, so…...

If you have spent any time listening to the RotoViz College Football Fantasy Podcast you know I have long loved Kylin Hill. He was drafted in the seventh round and fell to a team with multiple talented running backs (Green Bay). As disappointing as his fall is, the fact remains that it may not make too much of a difference as Day 3 running backs rarely…...

Shawn Siegele provides his updated 2021 dynasty rookie draft projections after Day 1 of the NFL draft. Does Najee Harris solidify himself above Travis Etienne? Can Trey Lance vault Justin Fields? Rashod Bateman and Kadarius Toney are going in opposite directions, but how much do they move? Last year, I provided live updates of my projected rookie draft as players came off the board in…...

Blair Andrews builds on the random forest model described in the Wrong Read No. 68 by turning it into actionable rules for choosing rookie wide receivers. Last year Blair told you that Justin Jefferson was the only WR prospect to check all the boxes. Today, he provides the most similar receivers from the 2021 class.

Every year we add a layer to our analysis and predictive power in finding the best receiver prospects.

The difficult part comes with putting all that information together for an incoming class and…...
Michael Carter gained 1,512 yards from scrimmage in 11 games last year, averaging just a tick under 8.0 yards per carry and catching 25 more passes to give him 82 for his career. He’s smaller and older than high-profile teammate Javonte Williams, but could he still be the better back? Or, if not that, could he be the better fantasy value? Make the Scouting Process Easy…...

Make the Scouting Process Easy with RV’s All the Metrics Series Travis Etienne and Why You Should Be Willing to Pay Almost Any Price to Land the Next Superstar…...
Kenneth Gainwell opted out of the 2020 season, but he’s still a potential Day 2 selection after a monstrous 2,000-yard season as a sophomore at Memphis. He furthered his case with a 4.42 pro day forty after bulking up to 201 pounds. Is that enough to push him up a tier and make him a priority selection in startups? Make the Scouting Process Easy with RV’s All…...
Ja’Marr Chase has had basically one good season in his collegiate career. Yet he’s the consensus WR1 in the class and is likely to hear his name called in the top-six picks at the end of April.
