Doug Baldwin, Wes Welker and Wide Receiver Agility Scores

by Ray Marzarella, March 10, 2016

No one could’ve predicted Doug Baldwin’s breakout before the 2015 NFL season started. But once the perfect storm of opportunity hit and Seattle became a predominantly passing team, Baldwin was able to use his elite agility to score touchdowns from all areas of the field en route to his first Top 10 fantasy wide receiver campaign.

When a wide receiver with great-to-elite agility becomes the focal point of a high-volume NFL passing offense led by a good-to-great quarterback, no matter the receiver’s size, fantasy owners should do everything in their power to acquire that player in all formats. As players like Doug Baldwin and Wes Welker have shown us, sometimes all you need to be a fantasy football difference-maker is plus agility, a pass-happy offense, an above-average quarterback and a chance.

Drafting Wide Receivers using PlayerProfiler’s Data Analysis Tool

by Scott Smith, March 5, 2016

Recently, the RotoUnderworld Team took the site to the next level rolling out a Data Analysis Tool that allows owners to aggregate the stats and metrics that they value most into a sortable spreadsheet.

These advanced data analysis capabilities helped me identify the cornerstone wide receivers of my first MFL10 roster of the season. Whether or not you agree with my picks, or the metrics I chose to build my WR archetype, the Data Analysis Tool helped me cancel out noise and focus on the numbers that I think matter most.

by Peter Overzet, March 2, 2016

The Great Hype Void: Jeff Janis chases a fickle American Dream

by The Podfather, February 25, 2016

According to my patent-pending mainstream popularity algorithm, a wide receiver equivalent of the anti-Cam Newton who breaks out in story book fashion should be the darling of middle America. The physically imposing, yet pathologically humble small school wide receiver desperate to please his coaches who rises out of a sports world primordial soup should be America’s next can’t-miss football sweetheart. The seventh round draft pick from Tawas City, Michigan that few NFL scouts took seriously who then erupts on the biggest possible stage at the most critical possible time should be waved around as the personification of the America Dream.

Jeff Janis personifies the American Dream, and you hate him for it.

by Tyler Butler, February 19, 2016

Dion Lewis is more than just a change of pace back. He was ultra-efficient in all phases in 2015 propelled by NFL-best evasiveness evidenced by a 58.8-percent Juke Rate.

Stop Hating Kirk Cousins

by Tyler Butler, February 13, 2016

Despite being a fourth round pick and relegated back up to RGIII in his first two seasons, Kirk Cousins broke the Redskin’s single-season passing yards record in his first full season as a starter. Yet, the NFL’s most improved offensive player continues to have more doubters than supporters in the fantasy community.

Cousins is currently a strong buy across fantasy formats. Given the persistent negative bias clouding his perception, he should remain attainable at a discount throughout the 2016 offseason.
