Breaking News: Get the Rotoworld Draft Guide
Fantasy websites come a dime a dozen these days, but a large chunk of those turn the football radar off after the Super Bowl and don’t turn it back on until the preseason. That’s not how we operate at Rotoworld. We’ve spent every day of the spring and summer blurbing any notable nugget of information, preparing for the season, and giving us and our readers an edge at the same time.
Football news runs in our DNA here. No one knows more about every single player in the league. We’ve tracked and dissected coaching changes, scheme shifts, free agent moves, the draft, and OTAs and minicamp.
We’ve cornered the market on providing information in a game where that information is of utmost importance.
By sinking your teeth into the 2016 Draft Guide, you’ll know what we know. We have standard, half-PPR, full-PPR, Dynasty, and Auction rankings. We provide tiers, projections, ADP reports, strength of schedule data, and subscriber-only chats. Evan Silva takes you through his Sleepers and Busts, Raymond Summerlin breaks down the notable injuries, Patrick Daugherty highlights the Top 25 Transactions of the offseason, and Nick Mensio goes over some DFS Tournament Strategy. We also have four mock drafts, with more on the way as Week 1 draws near.
Our extensive player profiles, of which there are over 500, is where we butter our bread in the Draft Guide. We spent much of our time crafting these. An example:
2015: Long a favorite of the #DraftTwitter crowd, Allen Robinson exploded as a sophomore with 80 catches for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. He only managed to haul in 53 percent of his targets, but he averaged a gargantuan 17.5 yards per reception despite a heavy workload. Perhaps most impressively, he was able to convert 12-of-22 red-zone opportunities and 8-of-15 targets inside the 10.
What’s Changed: Not much changed over the offseason. As of now, Julius Thomas and Marqise Lee are healthy and ticketed for bigger roles, but Robinson is still clearly the No. 1 receiver in Jacksonville.
Outlook: While Robinson was spectacular as a sophomore, there is reason to think he could suffer some regression. A-Rob recorded 71.3 percent of his receptions, 74.6 percent of his yards and 78.6 percent of his touchdowns while trailing last season, a position the Jaguars should find themselves in less if the upgrades on defense pan out. If regression to the Jaguars’ crazy pass-run ratio is factored in as well, it is hard to see Robinson taking anything but a step back. He is still a clear WR1, but it is hard to justify him as a top-five option.
