In the first part of this short series, a criteria for finding breakout running backs for fantasy football was established, and a classification tree was created using some statistical software. In order to make that actionable for your drafts, especially this time of year, it makes sense to provide you with some RB targets who […]

Each year in fantasy football, there are players who surprise us and well outperform their average draft position. One position that is frequently producing league-changers up and down the draft board is running back. But what do breakout RBs look like, and can we find them with any kind of accuracy? Those are the questions being […]

This will be the home of all PointsBets from Anthony Amico. A “PointsBet” is a wagering options available at PointsBet that allows you to take bigger swings at profit. The lines will look like standard side or prop bets, but instead of the result being a binary win/loss, you will win or lose a multiple […]

When it comes to NFL betting, I am not one for tropes. I’m sure there are some small number of professional bettors who can get by on feel and intuition, but I am certainly not one of them. I like math. I like systems. Repeatable bets that have displayed a high rate of return over […]

Fantasy football drafting season is a great time of year. When it comes to selecting players to lead your team to a championship, it is easy to get caught up in perceived value against average draft position. Oftentimes this results in “fades,” or major stances against players at their current value. To me, there are […]

The Oxford Dictionary defines arbitrage as “The simultaneous buying and selling of securities, currency, or commodities in different markets or in derivative forms in order to take advantage of differing prices for the same asset.” In fantasy football, we can think of this as players who have similar roster positionality and ranges of outcomes coming at vastly […]

With the football season getting even closer, different best ball operators are starting to release major tournaments. I touched on them briefly in my introductory piece to best ball, but these tournaments all have the same basic structure. They consist of many 12-team leagues, but you will compete against the entire field in some way […]

While tight ends can often be tremendous difference-makers for your fantasy teams, the relationship works in both directions. One of the absolute worst things you can do in terms of team construction is whiff on an early TE. Not only will you be losing value at that spot, but there is also a higher opportunity-cost to […]

Last week, we discussed some WR breakouts who could help win you your league. It is important to consider the other side of that coin as well. There are players in drafts who are essentially land mines, ones who will destroy a roster and make it extremely difficult to succeed. The later into a draft you get, […]

In the previous installment of this series, I talked about things to avoid when mining for closing line value (CLV). Specifically, the “dead zone” in NFL sides with a spread between -1 and +2. Today, I’m going to show you a couple of different things to look for when searching for CLV, using classification trees as […]

In my initial primer on closing line value (CLV), I introduced exactly what CLV was, and how it could create an edge in NFL spread betting…if we could locate it in time. I’ve been spending some time digging through old betting lines with this in mind, hoping to dig up any clues and nuggets to […]

Tight end is perhaps the most interesting position in the fantasy football space. There is very little question about who the studs are at the top of the board, but how deep TE ends up being typically is determined by young players looking to break out. Get it right, and you are looking at a […]

Predicting breakouts at the wide receiver position can make for some impressive teams during the fantasy football season. Ultimately, you aren’t going to win your league by consistently hitting singles and doubles. You need players who are going to massively over-perform their average draft position (ADP).  Sometimes, they are players who already flashed some ability in […]
