Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - NFC North

Our ranking of fantasy receiving corps rolls on with a look at the NFC North. I should remind you once again that we'll be ranking teams by division, then conference, then a straight ranking for the entire NFL. As always, rankings are subject to the state of the team as of writing. Tons of things will […]


Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - AFC North

We continue our ranking of every NFL team's receiving corps with a focus on the AFC North. If you're keeping track, each piece dives into one division at a time followed by a conference ranking before ultimately settling on a full #1-32. This week's edition will be very top-heavy with the #1 spot going to an obvious favorite. […]


Ranking the Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - NFC East

RotoBaller's new series of ranking NFL teams by their receiving corps continues with a look at the NFC East. To recap how this works, we're starting by ranking each division based on how their wide receivers line up for fantasy. From there it'll switch over to conferences before concluding with a full ranking of each team, from […]


Ranking the Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - AFC East

This season RotoBaller will be starting a new series that ranks all 32 NFL teams by their wide receiver corps. Here's the skinny on how this is going to work: we'll start by going division by division before moving over to conferences, then ultimately a straight one through 32. The idea is to simply rank each team's […]


2017 Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers in PPR Leagues

If you caught our earlier pieces on either quarterback, running back, or tight end, you're privy to our early fantasy ranking analysis for 2017. I firmly believe in the philosophy that fantasy should be as fun as humanly possible so what better way than to start preparing early? It's time to take a look at RotoBaller's early […]


2017 Rankings Analysis - Quarterbacks

Those of us who have been playing fantasy football for a long time know that quarterbacks can be fairly polarizing. Some folks tend to lean toward the "wait on QB" methodology while others are more in the "get yourself a stud" camp. Neither strategy is objectively wrong but each has its pros and cons. Here […]


Was Drafting Rob Gronkowski in the First Round Bad Process or Just Bad Results?

Tight end is probably the most divisive position in all of fantasy football. You're either firmly in the camp of waiting during drafts, snagging one or two of the late round fliers, or you want one of the top-five guys to solidify a spot on your roster. Whatever your go-to strategy is, one thing has remained […]


Was Drafting Ezekiel Elliott in the First Round Good Process or Just Good Results?

It seems like every single year there's some rookie running back who fantasy owners fall in love with. Whether it's Ezekiel Elliott or Derrick Henry, the hype surrounding said rusher ends up making their ADP skyrocket. In some cases, like Zeke, the bandwagon pushes him as far as the first round. But for Derrick Henry, […]


Way Too Early Dynasty Mock Draft Analysis - Round One

There's an old adage that goes "fantasy football fans start preparing in August. Fantasy football champions start preparing in July." Well folks, the obsessive nerds like myself prepare all year round. That's what the purpose of RotoBaller's Dynasty League Mock Draft is all about. Here we'll be taking a look at the first round action […]


Fantasy Spin - Brandin Cooks Traded To New England

Talk about a blockbuster. The New Orleans Saints traded Brandin Cooks to the New England Patriots for three draft picks Friday night. It's a blockbuster because of everything involved. Cooks is a big name wide receiver, the Patriots are the defending champs (again), and the story surrounding Cooks being shopped had been going on for […]


An Ode To Old Quarterbacks - Why The Elder Statesmen Will Perform Well In 2017

We hear about older players declining every single offseason. Whether it's Frank Gore or Larry Fitzgerald, some people would have you believe that there's an age limit on how productive a player can be for fantasy. Sure, no one is good forever and practically all players retire before 40. That doesn't mean we need to take […]


The Wide Receiver Height Argument Needs To Be Left For Dead

Right before the NFL draft, the same old schtick about player heights will come up. It's not even just height. It's hand size, weight, and every other cockamamie measurable they can come up with. When it comes to wide receivers, height ends up being the one the talking heads focus on most. It makes sense in […]


Way Too Early 2017 Breakouts - Tight Ends

Now that we've discussed breakout candidates at both running back and wide receiver, it's time to take a gander at the tight end position. Anyone who has played fantasy over the last three seasons will tell you how inconsistent tight ends are. Basically, if you don't end up with a stud, you're playing the touchdown game every week. […]


Way Too Early Breakout Candidates For 2017 - Quarterback

A stud fantasy quarterback can make a fantasy team the same way a dud can break an owner's heart. 2016 saw the emergence of guys like Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota, while proven commodities Cam Newton and Russell Wilson squandered. The rest of your team can be average but since you only have one shot at a […]


Way Too Early 2017 Breakouts - Wide Receivers

If you caught my last piece on breakout running backs, then you're just as starved as the rest of us. Sometimes I think the weeks in between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl are harder to get through than the dog days of late February. Our fantasy successes and disappointments are way too fresh in our […]


Way Too Early Fantasy Football Mock Re-Draft Analysis - Rounds 6-9

Anyone who has ever played fantasy for an extended period of time will tell you that the middle rounds of a draft make up the meat and potatoes of your team. It's easy to win or lose your league based on your early round picks since those are your home run hitters. Rounds six through […]


Way Too Early 2017 Breakouts - Running Back

This year's Super Bowl hasn't even happened yet but that doesn't mean we're not still starving for more fantasy. The best way to satiate that craving is to get a head start on prepping for 2017. With running back being the most fluid position of them all, it's probably the best place to start. Obviously these […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 17

Congratulations are in order for fantasy owners who have already claimed their championship trophy coming out of Week 16. 2016 continues to be as much of a kerfuffle of a season as any other, so coming away with any sort of winnings is certainly commendable. All that said, just because most leagues have already wrapped doesn't […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 16

For most leagues, this is it, Fantasy Championship Weekend. Even if your league runs through Week 17, congratulations, kudos, mazel tov and excelsior to you if you're still competing for some jelly beans. I'm sure there are some savvy owners out there who have had to bob and weave through the DeAndre Hopkins and Todd Gurleys […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 15

Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, Dez Bryant, Melvin Gordon, Matt Forte. Those are just a few of the names who crushed the souls of fantasy owners this past Sunday in Week 14. Whether it was performance, turnovers, or injury, all of those players ran into poorly timed roadblocks in the opening round of the fantasy playoffs. You […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 14

Ideally if you're still with me heading into Week 14 you're in a prime spot as a playoff contender. Or you happen to be a fantasy masochist and would like to be reminded of what you're missing out on. Either way, Warning Signals will keep churning along during the playoff rounds with more players throwing […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 13

For most fantasy owners, this is it, the final week of the regular season. Whether you're sitting pretty at 9-3 or hanging by a thread at 6-6, chances are you know what your team is heading into this last playoff push. Similar to last week, this edition of Warning Signals is going to focus on […]


Streaming Defense Options For The Playoff Push

If you're well versed in fantasy football strategy, you're familiar with the notion that you shouldn't ever draft a defense earlier than your second to last pick. Doing so nets you a few additional fliers at running back and wide receiver and allows you to monitor defenses as the season progresses. Owners who play their […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 12

Hello? Anyone still with me? Great, that means you're still in playoff contention. Or, at the very least, you're just as obsessed with fantasy football as those of us at RotoBaller. Nevertheless, Warning Signals is churning along with some new names to discuss heading into Week 12. There's a pretty good chance that you're sitting […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 11

I can only assume that if you're still keeping up with Warning Signals into Week 11 that you're well within reach of the playoffs. That's exactly the reason why this is going to be a very "cut bait" heavy edition of our weekly piece. The fact of the matter is, there isn't really a benefit […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 10

With Week 10 on deck, we're pretty much heading into the playoff stretch for most fantasy football owners. Now is not the time to lollygag when making lineup decisions. You're continuing to start your studs and weeding out underperforming playmakers. That, of course, leads us to this week's Warning Signals. Purely by coincidence, this is […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 9

Believe it or not, we're essentially halfway through the 2016 NFL season already. Life moves pretty fast, and fantasy football is no different. Heading into Week 9, most players have already settled into their season long outlooks. Sure there are some outliers, but for better or for worse, players are what they are by now. […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 8

Hey folks, first and foremost, apologies for missing last week's Warning Signals. But I'm back, so let's preview what lies ahead of Week Eight. The most notable aspect of not having a piece in week seven is that we're looking at busier piece than the norm this time around, specifically in the "Updates From Last Week" section. Other than that, […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 6

If you recall the intro to last week's edition of Warning Signals, you'd know that we're firmly entrenched into the portion of the NFL season where panic is going to trump patience. For better or for worse, players are starting to show their true colors in regard to their season long outlooks. I should reiterate […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into NFL Week 5

With Week 5 on deck, it's safe to say that players are starting to settle into their year-long fantasy value. There are always going to be exceptions due to injuries and suspensions but Weeks 5-8 are typically the crux of the fantasy season when it comes to hammering down player outlooks. That means we're getting close to […]
