Andrew Ball - RotoBaller

772 articles

Andrew loves to look beyond the box score and uncover the stats and metrics that can help his readers make informed decisions. He's been writing about sports since 2014, covering Texas A&M athletics, the San Antonio Spurs, and fantasy football and basketball for RotoBaller for over three years. He also worked for the Spurs organization. Andrew has been playing fantasy sports since his dad introduced him to the game when he was 12 years old. He was a swimmer growing up, and continues to swim multiple miles every morning. He also uses that time to think about new angles for his articles. You can follow Andrew on X @ajball4real.

Brooklyn Selects Egor Demin Eighth Overall

The Brooklyn Nets drafted guard Egor Demin with the eighth selection in the 2025 NBA Draft. Many mock drafts had Demin outside of the lottery, but there were rumors the BYU product was rising late in the pre-draft process. Demin may be the best passer in this class, whether he's playing on or off the […]


New Orleans Brings Jeremiah Fears to the Big Easy

The New Orleans Pelicans drafted guard Jeremiah Fears with the seventh overall selection in the 2025 NBA Draft. Oklahoma's Fears averaged 17.1 points and 4.1 assists per game as the lead guard for an NCAA tournament team in Norman. One of the youngest prospects in the draft, the 18-year-old joins a Pelicans roster with a […]


Tre Johnson Headed to Washington

The Washington Wizards selected guard Tre Johnson with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The guard out of Texas is one of the most natural scorers in this class, leading the SEC in scoring (19.9 points per game) as a freshman in his one collegiate season. Some pundits view him as the […]


Ace Bailey Lands With the Jazz

The Utah Jazz selected forward Ace Bailey with the fifth overall selection of the 2025 NBA Draft. Once considered a top-tier prospect, Bailey slipped a couple of spots in the days leading up to the draft. His Rutgers team didn't make the NCAA tournament, despite rostering him and second pick Dylan Harper, and there were […]


Hornets Opt for Shooting, Select Kon Knueppel Fourth Overall

The Charlotte Hornets selected Duke wing Kon Knueppel with the fourth pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The sharpshooter converted more than 40 percent of his three-point attempts (on 5.3 attempts per game) in his freshman season at Duke. The 19-year-old flashes more than just shooting, however, as he showed a tremendous feel for the […]


76ers Grab Guard VJ Edgecombe in the First Round

The Philadelphia 76ers selected guard VJ Edgecombe with the third pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. A playoff team two seasons ago, the injury bug plagued the 76ers in the 2024-25 season, which put them in the position to draft a top prospect. Edgecombe, a guard from Baylor, fits seamlessly with the current roster. Tyrese […]


Spurs Spend Second Overall Pick on Guard Dylan Harper

The San Antonio Spurs selected guard Dylan Harper with the second overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Rutgers product is considered the clear second-best prospect in this class, behind Cooper Flagg. Harper joins a Spurs team with a bit of a logjam in the backcourt. The team acquired former All-Star De'Aaron Fox at […]


Mavericks Make Cooper Flagg the Top Selection in the NBA Draft

The Dallas Mavericks selected forward Cooper Flagg with the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Duke's freshman phenom averaged 19 points, 7.5 rebounds, four assists, and 1.4 blocks per game in his lone season in Durham and is widely regarded as one of the best prospects of the decade. The Mavericks view the 18-year-old […]

Running Back Committees to Target in Fantasy Football (2025)

It's one of the worst phrases in the fantasy football world: Running back committee. Head coaches laugh in the face of fantasy managers and utilize multiple runners to keep their backs fresh to win football games. But as much as it hurts in the moment, history has proved they're correct. Running backs who carry the […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs in the Best Situations: 3 RB Breakouts to Draft (2025)

A deep and talented running back class may not be as fruitful as we'd once hoped, at least in Year 1. While Omarion Hampton, TreVeyon Henderson, and Kaleb Johnson are projected to take control of their respective depth charts eventually, proven veterans stand in their way of securing full-time roles in their rookie campaigns. Najee […]

4 Fantasy Football Quarterback Sleepers: Late-Round Draft Targets and Breakout Candidates (2025)

Quarterbacks who rack up rushing yards have a built-in advantage over their pocket-passing counterparts. Look at the top of the rankings: Josh Allen (531 rushing yards), Lamar Jackson (915), Jayden Daniels (891), and Jalen Hurts (632) are the consensus top four in the rankings for next season. That group was responsible for four of the […]

Who is the Fantasy Football WR1 for the Jaguars? Brian Thomas Jr. vs. Travis Hunter (2025)

A breakthrough rookie and one of the most unique prospects in NFL history are forming a top-10 wide receiver duo in the NFL. Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter enter the league with different stories. Others (Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze) originally overshadowed Thomas in his class. Nobody is outshining Hunter as […]

3 Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs Sleepers - Jarquez Hunter, Dylan Sampson, Trevor Etienne

There's (almost) always one. From Bucky Irving to Chase Brown to Kyren Williams to Rhamondre Stevenson to Tony Pollard (we can go back further if you like), at least one Day 3 running back becomes a fantasy football asset (2020 being the lone exception in recent history). The dopamine hit when fantasy managers strike gold […]

5 Fantasy Football Backup Running Backs To Target

Being a backup quarterback may be the best job in the NFL. The fans love them and call their name when the starter struggles. They don't take devastating sacks from fearsome edge rushers. The backup running back is fantasy football's equivalent. Managers stash several players, waiting and hoping for the golden opportunity for the backup […]

5 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Winners From the 2025 NFL Offseason

A relatively weak rookie and free-agent class at wide receiver made the list of offseason losers short. Quarterback upgrades and vacated snaps make the winners stand out. Below, we look at offseason winners at the wide receiver position, who at least maintained their long-term value following replacement concerns.Be sure to check all of our fantasy […]


Chase Brown - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Running Back Winners From The 2025 NFL Offseason

A deep and talented rookie running back class had dynasty fantasy football managers sweating through April. Some had every right to be nervous. Omarion Hampton should overtake Najee Harris in Los Angeles. TreVeyon Henderson is more talented than Rhamondre Stevenson. Kaleb Johnson is forming a new tandem with Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh. But some came […]

Fantasy Football Quarterback Busts and Draft Avoids for 2025

The NBA postseason is underway, and the NFL Draft is in the rearview. Still, it's never too early to look ahead to the 2025 fantasy football season. While it's more fun to be optimistic about player outlooks, somebody has to be the bearer of bad news. Not every player will succeed in the new year. […]

Top Free Agent Landing Spots for Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore: Post NFL Draft

The sequel isn't as good as the original, just as the second wave of free agency isn't as good as the first. Still, veteran wideouts remain on the market for receiver-needy teams. Now that the 2025 NFL Draft has wrapped, franchises refocus on free agents, especially when a rookie did not fill a position of […]

Fantasy Football Breakouts: Tight End Sleepers (2025)

There's been little variance atop fantasy football tight-end scoring since the turn of the decade. Travis Kelce has been a top-5 tight end every season since 2020. George Kittle has finished outside that group once. Mark Andrews is routinely in the top six. T.J. Hockenson frequently finishes as a TE1. Toss in young stars Brock […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Buy or Sell: Najee Harris, Rico Dowdle, Jordan Mason

One year ago, we discussed the futures of Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, and Aaron Jones as those free agents found new homes. This year's headliners are Najee Harris, Rico Dowdle, and Jordan Mason. Not quite the same. Still, with every transaction come implications for dynasty fantasy football rosters across the globe. Below, we […]

Rookie Running Back Landing Spots: Best Team Fits For 2025 NFL Draft Prospects

2024 was the offseason for free-agent running backs. 2025 is for the rookies. As evidenced by the lack of money shelled out to free agents, NFL teams are eyeing a deep rookie class to fill roster gaps. This year's crop contains future stars and a laundry list of potential contributors, all at a cheaper cost. […]

NFL Free Agent Fantasy Football Outlooks For 2025: Davante Adams, Najee Harris, Joshua Palmer

Old faces in new places. Some of the NFL's big names continue their career in a new city. Davante Adams landed in Los Angeles after a two-team 2024 campaign. Najee Harris looks to continue his 1,000-yard streak in California as well. Joshua Palmer teams up with the reigning NFL MVP. How does the shifting free-agency […]

2025 Free-Agent Tight Ends Preview

The 2025 tight-end free-agent class lacks top-end talent, which isn't surprising. Unlike other positions, mainly wide receiver, the bigger names don't make it to free agency. Teams make it a priority to retain good, homegrown tight ends. Still, there are a handful of notable names in this year's crop and a few franchises desperate for […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Rankings and 2025 Outlooks: Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Sam LaPorta

The tight-end position is one of the trickiest to navigate, especially in dynasty fantasy football formats. It's small and top-heavy. Much of the scoring is volatile and influenced by touchdowns. The cream of the crop, however, can excel with or without touchdowns. A group of young tight ends, led by Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Top Landing Spots For Sam Darnold - 2025 NFL Free Agency Outlook

Sam Darnold's resurgent 2024 season grabbed the eyes of quarterback-needy general managers across the NFL. His disastrous end to the campaign caused trepidation. Darnold, Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson are the biggest dominoes on the free-agent market. Justin Fields and Daniel Jones could also be signed with a starting position in mind. With a below-average […]

2025 Fantasy Football Backup Running Back Rankings for Dynasty Leagues: Sleepers and Value Picks

Ah, the backup running backs. Fantasy football managers hold them all season in the hopes that, for at least one week, they have a fantasy starter. Not all backup running backs are created equal. The top-end runners technically don't start but see an equal share of touches. There are the high-value handcuffs, the running backs […]

2025 Fantasy Football Bounce-Back Players: Top Rebound Candidates to Target In Drafts

Some of the NFL's best athletes and fantasy superstars endure below-average seasons. Like a roller coaster, there are ups and downs in NFL careers. Before you know it, they're back at the top. Josh Jacobs, Drake London, and Ja'Marr Chase appeared in this article last offseason (as did a certain quarterback that we're rolling the […]


Five Fantasy Football Overvalued Quarterbacks

Dynasty Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team, PPR, Superflex Dynasty Leagues (2025)

Are you looking to take part in a start-up Superflex dynasty fantasy football league? Know that quarterbacks are kings but those early selections push the best running backs and receivers down the board, allowing a wide variety of drafting strategies. Today, we're going to do a two-round mock draft. It's a 12-team, full PPR, Superflex, […]


Travis Hunter - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Draft Prospects, NFL Rookies

Should I Pick Travis Hunter In 2025 Rookie Fantasy Football Drafts?

We've never seen a college football player like Travis Hunter, which is both a blessing and a curse for fantasy football. Sure, players like Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson excelled on both sides of the football. Neither caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns while logging four interceptions. Hunter will hear his name […]


Rome Odunze - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injuries

2025 Second-Year Breakouts: Sophomores Who Could Shine In Year Two

A 2024 season full of rookie breakouts spoiled the fantasy community. Brian Thomas Jr. (WR4), Malik Nabers (WR6), Ladd McConkey (WR12), Brock Bowers (TE1), Jayden Daniels (QB5), and Bucky Irving (RB13) excelled in their first professional seasons. That made it even more of a bummer when other big-name rookies and first-round picks didn't burst onto […]
