The Arizona Cardinals nailed the 2019 NFL draft with three shrewd wide receiver selections to bolster the depth chart behind Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk. Having landed two trendy names in Andy Isabella and Hakeem Butler, is it possible that pick 174, KeeSean Johnson, will have the best rookie campaign? A blistering deep threat with a 4.31 forty and impressive production,((Isabella earned the top score…...

Youth is one of the key variables in building a successful dynasty fantasy football team, but how do you know when your team is getting too old, and what strategy can you apply to get a leg up on the competition? For skill positions, the production window is short and the time to buy ahead of a production (and trade value) increase typically occurs earlier…...

In case you missed the introduction of the Adjusted Production Index in May, it turns out that peak collegiate production can be quite predictive of NFL success for wide receivers. Practically speaking the Adjusted Production Index looks a wide receiver’s production profile from three angles. First is peak dominator rating. Can a player demand and account for a large percentage of their team’s receiving offense?…...

There is legitimate and justified excitement about the Cleveland Browns heading into an NFL season for the first time since the early days of the Bill Clinton presidency. After so many years in the doldrums, one of the NFL’s most storied franchises finally looks to be on the up. The team ended the 2018 campaign on fire, behind the blistering play of their rookie quarterback…...

We are entering the period of the NFL offseason where rookie drafts have probably finished. Focus now shifts towards redraft leagues, intending to win this year at the forefront of everyone’s minds. But that does not mean that the savvy dynasty owners should be idle. There is never a bad time to acquire good players to supplement your rosters, even if the player in question…...

Ah, dynasty fantasy football. Also known as the closest you’ll ever get to being a real football owner or coach. And there are numerous dynasty startup draft strategies you can employ to turn your team into a perennial powerhouse. Dynasty management has a bit of everything: Short- and long-term planning, rookie development, trades, rebuilds, win-nows, and more. The variety is why dynasty is among the…...

In devy leagues, Power-5 schools produce many of the top assets, and generally that makes perfect sense. Top high school prospects traditionally pick major programs to play out their college careers in hopes of improved draft stock and the chance at a national championship. But there are always a few gems at the small schools. Whether they were late-bloomers or were forced to transfer, non-Power-5-conference…...

This article is part of a series on dynasty WRs looking at the RotoViz redraft rankings and asking “what if we’re right?”[1]I’m using the royal we here since I don’t actually contribute to our rankings. 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…...

John Ursua’s is a name we haven’t talked about much throughout prospect season. But after Seattle head coach Pete Carroll mentioned him as someone who could see snaps in the slot, he warrants a longer look. Does the seventh-round pick out of Hawaii sport the profile of someone who can contribute in his rookie year? “He started to feel comfortable and show us the kind…...

Our man Mike Beers has been a busy boy adding value to your RotoViz subscription all offseason. His latest enhancement to our suite of tools is the ability to visualize trending players via the Risers/Fallers tab in the Dynasty ADP tool.

Earlier in the offseason, we looked at the top historical comparables for the top-11 rookie WRs in scoring from the 2018 class. However, doing the list by total points means that I omitted one key name from the list — Keke Coutee. On a per-game basis, Coutee was about as good as any rookie in 2018. Let’s dive into the numbers and the historical comps…...

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…...

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…...

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…...

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…...
