What a crazy ride Day 2 of the draft was. I’m exhausted from excitement. The landing spots attained by the high end skill position players in this class is going to make this draft class a force for years to come. The third round will have a more abbreviated version on each player. Round 1 is available here. Round 2 is available here. Diontae…...

  Glad to be back again to sift through the opportunity each player drafted tonight will likely see. We will have a lot more fantasy breakdowns Friday than Saturday, so diving right on in. The first round breakdown is available here. Deebo Samuel 36th overall, San Francisco 49ers Here’s how I viewed the opportunity as 2018 ended: 2018 WRs Dante Pettis – Signed through 2021…...

  The RotoViz Slack chat is the place to be when it comes to in-depth, instant, and astute analysis of developing NFL news and events. For years, it’s been the first place I turned when I wanted intelligent, measured reactions anytime anything goes down. And while that’s great if you’re a RotoViz contributor, it’s always been off limits for the general public — until tonight…....

  Round 1 of the 2019 NFL draft is in the books, and rookie drafts start to take shape with the top players off the board at every position. A couple of stud tight ends will battle for early selections in TE-premium leagues, while Josh Jacobs solidifies his top-five status by landing with an increasingly quixotic Oakland organization at No. 24 overall. Now that we…...

  As far as first rounds go from a fantasy perspective, no need to sugar coat it, this was a snoozer for the first half of it. We knew going in the back third of the round was where we were most likely to see some fantasy football related fireworks, but we just got a snap and crackle, lacking pop. We only saw five skill…...

  If you’re just reading this series for the first time, this is an investigation of the actual hit rates of previous Dynasty rookie classes. Starting with 2010, there’s been some very productive classes and some more scattered with hits. The 2016 class is one of the latter. That doesn’t mean there weren’t some studs. Nobody is complaining about Ezekiel Elliot or Michael Thomas. Unfortunately,…...

  The RotoViz Slack chat is a pretty much the place to be when it comes to in-depth, instant, and astute analysis of developing NFL news and events. For years, it’s been the first place I turned when I wanted intelligent, measured reactions anytime anything goes down. And while that’s great if you’re a RotoViz contributor, it’s always been off limits for the general public…...

The 2019 RotoViz fantasy football rookie tournaments are here! This battle royale features 16 worthy rookie running backs and 16 tantalizing rookie wide receivers, but only one of each will remain at the end of this year’s four-round melee. After months of articles and podcasts cutting up every prospect in the class, our team took the analysis to the next level by comparing players to…...

  A 23-year-old, non-combine running back, who broke out as a fifth-year senior in the Mountain West . . . Nico Evans has more red flags than Mother Russia. That’s also why he’ll be a rookie draft steal if he can land on an NFL roster. When Evans committed to Wyoming in 2014, he was announced as a 5-foot-9, 177-pound scatback. He ended up sitting…...

In the semifinals of the 2019 RotoViz Rookie WR Tournament, top seed Josh Jacobs takes on the number four seed, Miles Sanders. Who will advance to the finals – the film darling who never fully broke out statistically, or the late breakout back who was stuck behind last year’s rookie 1.01? Read on to find out.   Note: The 2019 RotoViz Rookie RB Tournament pits 16 of…...

  If you’ve been playing dynasty for several years now or following this series, you’re probably familiar with how good the 2014 class is. The RB classes since have been stellar. The WR classes have been spotty at best. Tons of shade thrown on teams that draft RBs in the 1st round. Zero shade on drafting WRs in the 1st. Not a good look for…...
