Kevin Szafraniec reminds you just how powerful Elijah Mitchell was in his rookie year and locates a 2024 rookie who might be on the same trajectory. In 2021, Elijah Mitchell came out of obscurity as a sixth-round pick to claim the lead role in the San Francisco backfield after injuries decimated the 49ers’ running back depth chart. While Mitchell himself was also limited to 11…...
Shawn Siegele explains why trading down in startups is your dynasty superpower . . . and breaks down 17 trades that illustrate the concept. Colm Kelly and I have had a blast participating in an RV TriFlex dynasty startup with the Overtime community. By my count there have been 42 trades through the 13.03. Colm and I have been involved in 17. I recently articulated…...
With as many opinions as there are people in the world, if we look hard enough we will always be able to find ample evidence to soothe our confirmation biases. In this regard, fantasy football reflects everything else. With seemingly as many sources for content as there are fantasy leagues at this point, if we’re seeking justification for our player takes, we’ll never have to…...

Shawn Siegele profiles three dynasty startup targets who allow you to trade down for more picks and still draft the future QB1, RB1, and TE1. The RotoViz Overtime Dynasty Startup draft is in full swing over at the FFPC where we’re playing the RV TriFlex format. It’s been even more fun than expected, with 28 trades occurring by the middle of Round 7. I’ll have…...

Blair Andrews continues his Breakout WR Series with a look at what we tend to get right – and more importantly, get wrong – about wide receiver aging curves. The Breakout WR Series These Second-Year WRs Are Going to Crush Expectations and Win Fantasy Titles It’s Easy to Get the Age Part Wrong: How to Exploit Misconceptions About Age and Fantasy Scoring The Best Thing…...

Year 2 remains the key year for wide receiver breakouts, but it’s not as simple as just drafting every Year 2 WR. As we noted previously, a player like Jonathan Mingo, who ran 511 routes in 2023, doesn’t have much room to increase his opportunity. The prospects for him to improve his efficiency are not hopeful either. And there may be other reasons we prefer…...
Shawn Siegele helps you find the next Alvin Kamara or Tony Pollard, a player currently going for peanuts in 2024 fantasy football drafts. Alvin Kamara and Tony Pollard possess a lot of similarities even though their careers have taken different trajectories. Their paths illustrate two of the possible outcomes for players with their prospect profile: Kamara, an extreme ceiling outcome and Pollard, a well-above-average outcome…....
After his offseason antics, Theo Johnson became a name to monitor among NFL draftniks and dynasty managers. His apparent lack of college production, allied to a fascinating athletic profile, made his NFL landing spot a point of interest. But what is the NFL getting in Johnson, and should fantasy managers be paying closer attention? Who is This Guy Anyway? Johnson does not, it must be…...
Looking all the way back to the turn of the century, the New England Patriots’ history of drafting wide receivers has not been pretty. Since 2000, only two wide receivers that the team has drafted — Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater — have made the Pro Bowl. Although he has been a staple at the NFL’s annual all-star game since 2011, Slater’s inclusion should come…...
While studying rookies this spring, I encountered several critics warning us to beware that Jayden Daniels wouldn’t — or at least didn’t — throw to the middle of the field. If a sharp-tongued pundit snaps off something like that and moves on with all the confidence of a peacock, the rest of us tend to shuffle right along with their hands on the smalls of…...
There’s a cliché in fantasy football, and for good reason: The best predictor of future fantasy success is past fantasy success. Any expansive correlation study will reveal that last year’s fantasy stats are, in fact, the No. 1 predictor of next year’s. The rub, of course, is that every lost nephew brought into a league to make even teams will draw from last year’s fantasy…...
After flashing game-breaking ability and elite athleticism despite never truly earning a featured role during his time in college, Trey Benson showed enough potential for the Arizona Cardinals to use an early third-round pick on him in the 2024 NFL draft. With James Conner producing career highs in both rushing yards and yards per carry for Arizona last season, the addition of Benson could be…...
This side of Kyle Shanahan, there is no one in the NFL touted for their offensive genius quite like Sean McVay, who took over as the head coach of the Rams at the age of 30 in 2017 and immediately turned a troubled slog of an offense into a juggernaut. Truly, McVay and Shanahan are entwined, because they each served at the feet of the…...
Heading into the 2024 NFL draft with six of the top 100 picks, the Washington Commanders were in a prime position to rebuild their roster in a hurry. To the delight of fantasy owners, the team decided to kick off their rebuild by using four of their top 100 picks on the offensive side of the ball. With the second overall pick, the Commanders selected…...
Rome Odunze was drafted by Chicago with the ninth overall pick, who bolstered their receiving corps after the Bears made Caleb Williams the first player picked in the 2024 NFL Draft. With D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen already on the roster, along with new running back addition D’Andre Swift, the Bears do not appear to be the best situation for a rookie to earn targets…....
Few players have been as breathtaking, mind-bending, and enigmatic in their rookie season as De’Von Achane was in 2023. A four-star recruit out of high school, Achane stayed in relative proximity to his suburban Houston upbringing, committing to Texas A&M and sitting behind Isaiah Spiller for the bulk of his first season, excelling in a limited role. By the time he made it to the…...
The NFL potential of Brock Bowers has been well-documented this offseason here at RotoViz, as both Blair Andrews and Shawn Siegele have provided fantastic articles detailing Bowers’ standing as a true generational prospect. In a landscape where the term “generational” is being slapped onto players seemingly every year, Bowers lives up to the hype. While his talent is not in question, Bowers’ landing spot in…...
