RotoViz subscribers know that winning often hinges on meticulous analysis of various factors: player statistics, team dynamics, and even the whims of Mother Nature herself. Weather conditions, often overlooked, can play a pivotal role in any game’s outcome. A few of the most well-known and craziest examples include the Fog Bowl, the Tuck Rule Game, and the Ice Bowl.

Welcome to Going Deep!

The pace of play at the team level is instructive in fantasy football. The faster a team is, the more plays they will tend to run. The more plays a team tends to run, the more players on those teams tend to score. Using the RotoViz Pace Tool, we can see the tendencies of every team in these areas so far in 2023. I toggled to…...

In this weekly article, Ryan Ramsarran uses the Advanced Stat Explorer and other RotoViz tools to dive deep into wide receiver usage trends. Usage is key for making waiver wire adds, start/sit decisions, and finding the next blowup WR in DFS. We’ll use the advanced WR metrics to highlight a few buy-low options at the position each week.

Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season is already upon us. Things are just starting to get weird, and they’ll only get weirder folks. So buckle up. One of the weirdest things to happen lately was just how many tight ends were fantasy relevant in Week 5. Fourteen TEs scored 10 or more PPR points, while a whopping six managed 19 or more. We truly…...

The best D/ST matchups of Week 6 belong to the elite defenses, with games like the Bills-Giants, 49ers-Browns, Saints-Texans, and Dolphins-Panthers. That makes things tricky for D/ST streamers this week, and may mean taking a swing on some big upside plays. The three players with the most turnovers in the NFL since 2022 may surprise some people: Josh Allen, Kirk Cousins, and Trevor Lawrence. It’s not just the Zach…...

Bjorn Yang-Vaernet examines which players on the waiver wire are worth prioritizing for Week 6 and highlights others to preemptively stash.

Inside where nothing shows, I am the essence of a man spinning double-headed coins, and betting against himself in private atonement for an unremembered past. – Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead When you embrace players with a wide range of outcomes – betting on talent, betting on the emergence of elite youth – the first month is occasionally epic but frequently scary. You…...
