D.J. Chark was drafted outside the top 200 picks last season. He finished with 218 total points and the highest win rate among WRs in BestBall10s. Rookies disappoint every year. That’s just a fact of football, both real and fantasy. Players with strong draft capital and elite athleticism who seem like great fantasy assets fall short in their first season. The fantasy community tends to…...

Tee Higgins appears to be the forgotten man in the WR class of 2020. Whether it’s Jerry Jeudy or Henry Ruggs from the film community or the analytics darling, Jalen Reagor, Higgins is among the least discussed prospects of the year. But he still appears to be an early-round draft selection with a strong pedigree. Maybe it will be the forgotten man that becomes the star player…...

The 2020 wide receiver class is famous for its glut of elite prospects, with seven different receivers expected to be first rounders, according to Grinding the Mocks. One of those outside the first round is Jalen Reagor. Yet many aspects of Reagor’s profile make him look like he deserves to be at the top of the rankings. Is it possible to be sleeping on a player…...

A common discussion in the dynasty community revolves around the ages of players. It’s nice to have a foundation of youth to keep your team competitive each year, but you still need those veteran players with solidified roles to put up consistent points on Sundays. Despite the debate surrounding “age cliffs” for specific players, there are players each year who both surprise and disappoint us…....

The fantasy community yearns for consistency and predictability. We like knowing our players have defined roles on their respective teams. The running backs are locked in for three-down roles, the wide receivers accrue a large weekly target share, and the tight ends are more than just run blockers. Unpredictability is another issue altogether. This is where fantasy owners are with Keenan Allen. For the first…...

Trading away good players is hard enough. It’s nearly impossible to trade away a player who returned such value on investment that he was being considered a league-winner. Enter Darren Waller. Turn back the clock a year, and Waller was coming off of his fourth straight underwhelming year in the league. Through those four years, he totaled 29 targets, 18 receptions, 178 yards, and two…...

Scouting reports are a quick way to get a sense of a player’s characteristics, what he does well, where he struggles, and the things that NFL teams are likely to assume he needs to work on. Of course, that doesn’t mean that everything we read in a scouting report is accurate. There are certain traits, such as route running ability, that are hard to quantify…...

Initially, I was going to take the seemingly annual run at identifying whether or not Will Fuller was worth the risk this coming season considering his prolific injury history. Then, free agency happened. When the Houston Texans traded away DeAndre Hopkins and his 150 targets from 2019 to the Arizona Cardinals, the entire fantasy football community was shaken to its core. While there will likely…...

In the age of “buying low” on some players, fantasy owners shouldn’t be afraid to pivot and “buy high” on other players. This doesn’t mean breaking the bank for Patrick Mahomes in a single quarterback league or selling the farm for Christian McCaffrey. It does mean being okay paying for talented players who can help you win matchups and championships. Acquiring youth and building for…...

Shawn Siegele breaks down his 12 rookie picks in a recent mock-draft extravaganza for the Dynasty Command Center Rookie Guide. He examines all of his options in Superflex, TE Premium, and Classic formats. As we put the final touches on Volume 2 of the Dynasty Command Center Rookie Guide, I wanted to evaluate my picks in each of our mocks. The DCC Rookie Guide provides…...

At RotoViz, we like our NFL Draft Prospects to be precocious — producing early and at a young age. As a result, age is an important part of our prospect evaluation process. Of course, collecting every prospect’s date of birth and calculating their age can be a time-consuming endeavor. To make things easier for our readers, we’ve annually published a Draft Prospect Age Database. 2020’s…...

We often compare dynasty fantasy football to the stock market, and for a good reason. Buy low. Sell high. Be the first to predict the next move successfully, and beat others to the punch. As each NFL season comes to a close, we’re left with a wide range of possibilities and free agency pipe dreams that would lead our rosters to long-term success. One way to…...

Cam Akers played his final game for Florida State on November 30, but due to his athletic profile, he may have done more to improve his draft profile in the last month than he’d done during his three-year career with the Seminoles. Akers has become one of the hottest prospects over the past few weeks, but is it fully deserved? High School Pedigree Akers was…...

Shawn Siegele unveils his 2020 Dynasty Top 150 and breaks the rankings into tiers. The dynasty rankings include SuperFlex formats, tight end premium scoring, and the new rookies who will be part of the 2020 NFL Draft. We took a short interlude from the Dynasty Tiers Series to focus on the NFL combine and examine how the 2020 prospects performed in our projection and comparison…...

The original version of this article was published on January 30. We now have measurements from the combine to add to our assessment. How does Harrison Bryant’s combine performance change his NFL outlook? The winner of the award for the best tight end in college football is draft-eligible in 2020. Yet some ranking services seem to be less than impressed with him. This is a…...
