Congrats to the crew at Roto Analysis for landing week 13’s best accuracy rating. The staff at Roto Analysis delivered well rounded advice across positions to earn the top honor. At WR, they were notably above the Expert Consensus for several players that exceeded expectations: Kenny Stills (+13 spots above ECR), Keenan Allen (+13 spots above ECR) and Brandon LaFell (+9 spots above ECR). Both Allen and LaFell hauled in 2 TDs on Sunday and no other site had either player ranked higher than Roto Analysis. For their RB predictions, Roto Analysis was among a group of less than 10% of experts that slotted C.J. Anderson inside their top 5 RBs. Anderson delivered on those high hopes by racking up 160+ rushing yards for the second straight week. Roto Analysis also gets credit for displaying faith in Joique Bell (+6 spots above ECR) and for identifying Roy Helu as a viable FLEX candidate. Their ranking for Helu (RB #33) was 23 spots ahead of the Expert Consensus. Anyone who took the desperation plunge on the Washington RB was rewarded as he reached the endzone (66 total yards). Roto Analysis also had a big hit with their ranking of Jordan Reed. They slotted Reed 11 spots above the Expert Consensus as their 4th best TE. No other expert had Reed higher than TE #7. It turned out to be a wise pick as Reed broke through with 9 catches for 123 yards.
