Joey Sheiner

44 articles

Hey! My name is Joey Sheiner and I'm a part of the NFL team here at RotoBaller. I've been following football for 15 years, played fantasy football for nine years, and have been writing about sports for eight years. I'm a big proponent of looking at context rather than just the statistics: while many experts get stuck on stats, there's more to fantasy sports than just the numbers. And that's just the kind of analysis I love to provide. Previously, I have written for Fantasy Guru and DrRoto.com as well as my own website, Joeywithsports.com. Outside of football, I also enjoy following European soccer and basketball. Feel free to follow my X account, the handle is @jmshein1.

After two weeks of the 2025 NFL season, the fantasy football landscape is in a state of uncertainty.

15 Fantasy Football RB Studs and Sleepers: Predicting Every 1,000-Yard Rusher in 2025

A 17-game season has made it easier to achieve, but rushing for 1,000 yards is still an important goal for running backs.
