Let’s dive in. Speed from the Beginning Like many other gifted NFL Draft prospects, Ruggs…...

If Brycen Hopkins needs any help in how to deal with the pressures of being a top draft prospect, he only needs to turn to his family for advice. Hopkins’s father, Brad Hopkins, was a first-round selection by the Houston Oilers in the 1993 NFL Draft. Hopkins Sr. played 13 seasons in the NFL, earning two Pro Bowl nods as well as an All-Pro berth…...

Death, taxes, and Alabama producing running backs that the NFL and fantasy owners should be aware of are three of the only things in this universe we can 100% rely on. Najee Harris is one such player heading into 2020. Harris has played only three seasons for the Crimson Tide and may yet return for the fourth year of his eligibility. But if he decides…...
Chuba Hubbard has quickly become a household name in college football, but the jury is still out on when he’ll head to the NFL. Regardless, we’ll get to see Hubbard in at least one more college game before he makes his draft decision. Hubbard and Oklahoma State face off with Texas A&M this week in the Texas Bowl. But for now, let’s take a look…...
On December 26, the Minnesota Golden Gophers take on the Auburn Tigers in the Outback Bowl. Although 6-foot-2-inch, 200-pound wide receiver Tyler Johnson could’ve declared early last season, he opted to prioritize earning his undergraduate degree over leaving early for the NFL. Despite opting to stay an extra year in school, Johnson has a very intriguing prospect profile. Despite the questionable quarterback play at Minnesota,…...

RotoViz Dynasty Coordinator Curtis Patrick shares some thoughts about how to strategically approach making a dynasty fantasy football waiver claim. One of my favorite things about dynasty fantasy football is that there’s always something to be working on. The grind never stops, regardless of the state of your team. I like to encourage activity, sometimes even for its own sake. Even a single owner becoming more…...
RotoViz Dynasty Coordinator Curtis Patrick begins his series on 2019’s key dynasty fantasy football performers with the provocative call to sell Lamar Jackson. 2019 has been one of the crazier fantasy seasons I can remember. The quarterback position has been like an old episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show – “You get a start, and you get a start, and YOU get a start too!” Not…...
If you checked out my article on Terry McLaurin a few weeks ago (and by the way, this is the perfect time to be sending offers for the breakout deep threat), you’ll remember I discussed the idea of aDOT adjusted RACR as part of my profile on McLaurin. If not, here’s a brief refresher. Receiver air conversion rate (RACR), a metric created by Josh Hermsmeyer,…...
Terry McLaurin is one of the hottest names in dynasty. After starting his career at an Odell Beckham like pace, his trade value has skyrocketed. McLaurin was an under-hyped third-round rookie, so I want to add some context to his production to help assess his dynasty value. Below is a review of McLaurin’s fantasy performance, prospect profile, and finally, how to approach his dynasty value…....
Chris Godwin is running extremely hot. He leads all WRs in fantasy points over expectation (FPOE) and is second in FPOE per game. He’s first in PPR per game among WRs, but just 11th in expected (EP) points per game. As you can see above, Godwin’s WOPR — his weighted market share of the passing offense — ranks just 24th among WRs. This highlights two red…...
Off-Season Darling In FFPC startups immediately following the NFL draft, David Montgomery was typically drafted in the fifth round, and sometime fell as far as the late sixth. In rookie drafts he was consistently taken in the early-to-mid first, foreshadowing the enthusiasm that would eventually drive up his ADP in startups. By the end of the summer Montgomery was a staple of the dynasty top…...
Two weeks ago I wrote up Dalvin Cook as a dynasty sell. My argument boiled down to the following three points: His offense limits his PPR value. His 2019 production has been driven by efficiency, not workload. The enthusiasm for Cook means that when shopping him even the most coveted players in dynasty are on the table. Today I want to revisit Cook, because the…...
Dalvin Cook has had himself quite a start to the season. He’s the No. 2 RB in PPR points and leads the league in rushing. These results are seen as proof that he’s this year’s Christian McCaffrey, ie. an immensely talented RB who’s finally become an elite workhorse. But while Cook is undoubtedly a special talent, he’s one of the easiest sells in fantasy at…...
Every year I try and remind myself that the NFL season is a chaotic swirl of colors, injuries and the unbelievable. And then I try to predict it anyway. But then Sammy Watkins and John Ross combine for over 171 points in the first two weeks of the season. And chaos swirls on. Let’s try and make sense of the madness for your dynasty teams…...
