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. The best predictive models have three notable criteria — they’re…...
In this edition of Dynasty Trade Targets 2021, Curtis Patrick reviews a 22-year-old potential WR1 who is being valued like a WR4. I love writing dynasty trade target articles. I am constantly on the prowl for opportunities to improve my rosters, and I want you prowling around with me. In 2020, I compiled my offseason shopping list into just a few larger pieces that readers…...
Every year we add a layer to our analysis and predictive power in finding the best receiver prospects. In just a few short years we’ve discovered the importance of things like breakout age, dominator rating, yards per team pass attempt, and the Adjusted Production Index in predicting future NFL success. 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…...
Shawn Siegele goes under the hood with high stakes drafts currently in progress. What’s a better way to explore the pricing for rookie drafts than to look at where they’re going in high stakes drafts? With the advent of the RotoViz TriFlex Dynasty leagues in the FFPC, we now have a perfect window into the format used across the dynasty universe. Whether you’re preparing for…...
Trey Sermon launched himself into the national consciousness with 264 scrimmage yards in the national semifinal against Clemson. Does the rest of his profile offer enough firepower to confirm his position as a top-30 running back in dynasty startups? 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. What is it about his profile that has dynasty players salivating and NFL teams jockeying to make him the highest-drafted WR since Corey Davis? Chase’s College Production First…...
In this edition of Dynasty Trade Targets 2021, Curtis Patrick reviews a potential fantasy RB1 who is being valued like an RB4. I love writing dynasty trade target articles.

Chuba Hubbard returned for a final season in 2020, but his performance cratered. He’s now a much cheaper selection in startups and rookie drafts. Shawn Siegele is a sucker for players with Hubbard’s profile, but can he find enough evidence to convince you to buy? Make the Scouting Process Easy with RV’s All the Metrics Series Travis Etienne: Why the Clemson Star Should Be Part of Any Winning…...
In case you missed it, last spring I dove into the success rates of transfer quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. And at first glance, it looks like transfers, and transfer success in general is on the rise. Quarterback transfers certainly look like the safest play. Wide receiver transfers are trending in that direction. And transfer running backs – although we don’t have a huge…...
Editor’s Note: Now updated with complete results and commentary for the full 2021 pro day season. Just like the 2020 NFL season before it, the 2021 NFL Draft and pro day process will be one like never before. The originally intended dates for the 2021 NFL combine have already come and gone. And by now, most attuned to the world of professional football are aware…...
Jermar Jefferson’s pro day reinforced his status as a Day 3 prospect, but his on-field performance paints him as a first-round pick. Shawn Siegele explains why the precocious Oregon State star is such a controversial player and how to take advantage in dynasty.

Javonte Williams didn’t wow observers with a 4.55 forty at his pro day, but that’s not the entire picture. If you buy Williams today, will you get a fast return on his RB18 price?

In the 68th edition of the Wrong Read, Blair Andrews uses a random forest to help you find the most important metrics for wide receiver evaluation. A couple of years ago, I did a fun study called the Ultimate WR Prospect Metrics Guide to determine which metrics best correlated with NFL success. That was a good first step, but it had a couple of holes…....
The 2021 RotoViz TriFlex Dynasty Leagues have launched, and we’re excited to be involved in this fantastic new product from the FFPC. The new format adds a starting WR spot and includes three flexes, one of which can be a QB. So how do you attack this new format which combines the great interface and customer service of the FFPC with a deeper starting lineup?…...
The year is 2021 and we are still having the same debate that’s been going on for over 10 years. It is particularly poignant this year with the cancellation of the NFL combine due to COVID-19. Why are pro day forty times faster than combine forty times and should we be adjusting them to get an apples-to-apples comparison with official combine laser timing? With no…...
Dave Caban unveils his 2021 RB Breakaway Rush Scores — a metric that has proven to be one of the most predictive measures of NFL success for RB prospects. It’s easy to love explosive running backs — players that can take a handoff, find a hole, juke past a linebacker, and race to the end zone. These are the type of plays that circle through…...
