The Dream of Perpetual Motion: A Quick Reminder That Rookies Are Free in Startups

If Brian Malone’s 2018 article, Rookies Are Free Money, isn’t my favorite article on the site, it’s easily in my top five. Or at least the top 10. (I tend to receive a lot of grief from friends about my top 10 lists containing an almost unlimited number of items.) Regardless of where you rank it, Brian’s look at the profitability of rookies is a…...

3 IDP Breakout Candidates at Linebacker

If you’re going to pay up at any defensive position in IDP leagues, it should be at linebacker. Still, LB1 points are available on the waiver wire almost every year, as we saw with Corey Littleton and the Rams last year, so even if you’ve already invested in the position, uncovering a hidden gem is something you should always be striving for. Talent is secondary…...

What If We’re Right? Part 3: Safe Holds at WR

Many thanks to our redraft rankers: Blair Andrews, Curtis Patrick, Dave Caban, Hasan Rahim, Monty Phan and Shawn Siegele. After all, our rankings are trying to determine the most likely outcome…...

3 Cheap IDP Sleepers I’m Targeting: Defensive Back

Unless it’s elite talent paired with elite usage, I don’t like to pay up for defensive players in IDP leagues. Fantasy IDPs are a lot like real-life RBs in that they’re cheap, replaceable, and don’t really matter. Generally speaking, we want to be buying cheap snaps and waiting for that sweet variance to kick in. In this series, we’ll look at some cheap/free dynasty IDP…...

Superflex Startups: Using QB Tiers and Dynasty ADP to Beat the Runs

With one of original RotoViz dynasty leagues growing stale, we decide to reboot under the leadership of Funniest RotoVizian Alive, John Solis. Our new league is Superflex, as all leagues should be in 2019. In many cases it’s difficult to get good Superflex ADP, but the Dynasty ADP tool from Mike Beers allows you to pull in dynasty superflex ADPs from FFPC and MFL. Today…...

4 Cheap IDP Sleepers I’m Targetting: Defensive Line

Super Deep Fantasy Sleepers: Kansas City Chiefs

As mentioned in my previous article, the Kansas City Chiefs have plenty of opportunity available for their receivers. We know that Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins, and Mecole Hardman should see plenty of volume this season. However, considering that Tyreek Hill may not play this season,[1]or at the very least face a lengthy suspension there could be additional opportunity available for the several auxiliary wide receivers…...

Justin Watson is Primed for a 2nd Year Breakout

In my recent article on Scott Miller I took a breather from telling you why the diminutive phenom is a must add, so that I could briefly profile his teammate, second-year WR Justin Watson. If Watson is interesting enough to warrant a mention in another player’s article, he’s probably worth his own article right? Here it is: Outrageous Production Justin Watson was the Buccaneers 2018…...

High-Stakes Dynasty Startup Picks to Exploit and Avoid

On the heels of Cort Smith’s posts identifying the overvalued picks and standout sleepers according to Fanball (formerly MFL10s) ADP, we’re using the Dynasty ADP app to find similar trends in FFPC start-up leagues. Because, as Cort points out in his pieces, don’t love the player, love his price. This has been noted before, but because FFPC dynasty rosters allow a maximum of 18 total…...

3 Value IDPs I’m Targeting in 2019 Rookie Drafts

Dynasty rookie drafts are in full swing this spring, and if you’re like me, it’s not enough to just play in an IDP league — it’s got to be a deep IDP league, requiring you to unearth rookie gems on a regular basis. In the midst of a dynasty rookie draft that requires 11 IDP starters, I’ve been digging in to find the mid-to-late-round values…...

Don’t Miss Out on the Best WR Value in the 2019 Class

  Andy Isabella may be one of the best rookie values in recent memory, but he’s not the best WR value in this draft class. No, that honor goes to a different senior WR from a non-power 5 conference. One who actually broke out before he was 22 years old. How can there be a better WR value than Isabella, the uber productive WR whom…...

Tips for a Successful Dynasty Startup Draft

  There are a lot of ways to win in dynasty. Some dynasty owners will plan on losing the first few years while building “dream team” rosters. Others tend to overly focus on youth and/or highly touted rookies. There’s also the “get your guy” owner who will undoubtedly reach for a player often rounds ahead of ADP. You can almost bank on there being at…...

Which Rookies are High-Stakes Drafters Targeting?

  Having the top pick in a high-stakes dynasty league is typically a double-edged sword: According to recent history, the consensus pick at the 1.01 has at times in their careers been valued as among the most coveted assets in fantasy. But, unless you traded for that pick, having it means you likely spent hundreds (and in some cases, thousands) of dollars to buy into…...

Mecole Hardman’s ADP Is Weird for a Couple of Reasons

  When the Chiefs traded up in the 2019 second round, the RotoViz draft room was abuzz. Kansas City was obviously moving up to select the replacement for Tyreek Hill. This was the pick that was going to make a fantasy hero. The Chiefs love athleticism in their draft picks, and they’re trying to replace the fastest man in the NFL, so it seemed obvious…...

Dynasty Hit Rates: 2018 Draft Class

  The 2018 class started out like most previous classes with four rookies finishing inside the PPR top-12 QBs/TEs or top-24 RBs/WRs. The 2010 class was the only class in this series to have less than four, which was the average per year. It’s interesting to note that two of those, Nick Chubb and Phillip Lindsay, weren’t starters at the beginning of the season. This…...

Andy Isabella Is One of the Best Rookie Values in Recent Memory

  The Arizona Cardinals selected Andy Isabella No. 62 overall in the 2019 NFL draft. The UMass star was the eighth wide receiver off the board in the reality event, and yet he’s only the No. 10 WR in rookie drafts. Still, that’s hardly the kind of gap to get worked up over unless there’s something else going on. What is it about the diminutive…...

The TE Model Predicts the Stars and Busts of the 2019 Rookie Class

  Last year I billed the tight end model as a secret weapon for dynasty rookie drafts, and it didn’t disappoint. The 2018 model results successfully picked out Chris Herndon as the biggest sleeper, and predicted that Mark Andrews was the Baltimore TE to own, not first-round pick Hayden Hurst. We’re back again with the model results for the 2019 class, and it’s found three…...
