Welcome, RotoBallers, to our weekly article about well-known fantasy baseball players. Each week of the fantasy baseball season, we'll look at what to do with slumping players.

Fantasy Football QB1 Candidates: 5 Quarterbacks Who Could Dethrone Lamar Jackson in 2025

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson finished as the overall QB1 last season behind an incredible fantasy campaign. He averaged a whopping 25.6 fantasy points per game and was one of just two players to score over 400 PPR fantasy points on the season. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase was the other (403 PPR fantasy […]

7 Second-Year Fantasy Football Players to Draft or Fade: Sophomore Sleepers and Busts (2025)

Not every player who comes into the league will immediately make a strong impact. While several rookies do, it takes most players at least one full year to get accustomed to the pro level. That was certainly the case last season, as we saw Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tucker Kraft, and Bryce Young all show promise in […]


RJ Harvey - NFL Rookie Rankings, Draft Prospects, Running Back

Is J.K. Dobbins or RJ Harvey Starting for the Broncos? Which Denver Running Back Should You Draft in 2025?

The Denver Broncos didn't get much production from their running back room last season. Javonte Williams averaged just 3.7 yards per carry, Jaleel McLaughlin totaled only 496 yards, and Audric Estime was barely involved as a rookie with 310 rush yards. Those three running backs totaled a combined 1,319 rushing yards.  As a result, the […]

Kris Bubic - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

The Top First-Half Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Gems for 2025

Every season, some players go undrafted in fantasy drafts and then emerge as waiver wire gems throughout the season. It happened last year with players like Reynaldo Lopez, Brent Rooker, Ranger Suarez, Paul Skenes, and Jordan Westburg. All five of those players went outside the top 250 in drafts and carried fantasy managers to championships.  […]

Predicting All First-Time 1,000-Yard Rushers in 2025 - NFL Fantasy Football Outlook

Rushing for 1,000 yards is a goal for many running backs entering the season. In 2024, 16 different running backs crossed the 1,000-yard threshold, and some of those running backs achieved this for the first time in their careers. Rico Dowdle, Bucky Irving, and Chuba Hubbard were some first-time 1,000 rushers last year. With another […]

Second Half Breakouts for Fantasy Baseball - Joey Pollizze's "My Guys"

The first half of the season saw many players break out. Kris Bubic has been one of the most surprising pitchers through the first few months, Jacob Wilson ranks second in all of baseball with a .337 batting average, and James Wood is putting together an all-around breakout campaign. All three of these players have […]


Predicting All First-Time 1,000-Yard Receivers: 2025 NFL Fantasy Football Outlook

Crossing the 1,000-yard threshold has been a major achievement for many wide receivers across the NFL. Last year, 21 wide receivers totaled over 1,000 receiving yards, and many of them hit that milestone for the first time in their career. Brian Thomas Jr., Drake London, Jerry Jeudy, Malik Nabers, and Ladd McConkey were among the […]

Fantasy Baseball League Winners: Unlikely Aces Worth A Roster Spot? (Week 15)

We have seen plenty of unexpected pitchers become strong fantasy options so far this season. No one saw Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic breaking out in his return as a starter, or Matthew Boyd putting together an All-Star campaign. These two unlikely aces quickly emerged as must-rostered players early in the first half. […]

5 Fantasy Football Tight End Target Hogs to Draft: High-Volume Pass-Catchers for 2025

The tight end landscape has definitely changed in recent years. After only five tight ends finished with above 175 PPR fantasy points in 2022, nine finished above that 175-point threshold in 2023, and another seven scored above that mark last year. Therefore, it's safe to say that the tight end position is deeper than ever. […]

When is Brandon Aiyuk Coming Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update and Outlook

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has emerged as one of the best playmakers in the NFL. He totaled over 1,000 receiving yards in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023, including a career-high 1,342 yards during the 2023 campaign. That strong season earned Aiyuk a massive four-year, $120 million deal one year later.  Unfortunately, […]

The first round is the best part of fantasy drafts. These are the players who are going to lead your team throughout the year and could carry you to a potential fantasy championship.

Top Free Agent Landing Spots for Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen, Gabe Davis

Even though training camp starts in a few weeks, there are still some valuable wide receivers available in free agency. Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, and Gabe Davis are still without a team this late in the offseason. Those three wideouts are the best three remaining free-agent playmakers on the market. As a result, it wouldn't […]

One-Man Backfields to Chase in 2025 Fantasy Football

There are very few workhorse running backs in the NFL nowadays. Things have definitely changed in recent years, as more teams are going with the 50/50 approach in most backfields. However, the best fantasy running backs are usually those who get most of the work. That's what makes some of these running backs elite fantasy […]

Time to Hang it Up: 5 NFL Wide Receivers Who Should Retire Before the 2025 Season

Retiring from something you love is not easy. These players have been dominating on the football field from a young age, and most of them want to play as long as possible.

4 NFL Running Back Breakout Candidates: Pro Bowl Predictions and Fantasy Football Outlooks

Joey Pollizze's Must-Avoid Fantasy Football Players and Bust Candidates: 5 Overvalued Draft Picks

Every fantasy football manager tries to avoid drafting busts each year. Sometimes, though, you can't escape it.

When Will Bryce Harper, Tyler Glasnow, Adley Rutschman Return? Fantasy Baseball Injury Update

As we head into the middle of the fantasy baseball regular season, the injuries continue to pile up for fantasy managers.
