Dynasty Price Check - Dede Westbrook

Last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars were a mess offensively, with the quarterback combination of Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler combining to throw for just 15 touchdowns to go along with 13 interceptions. Bortles, who'd been a guy fantasy owners could count on for solid production in the past, bombed badly enough that the team benched […]

Notable UDFAs to Watch in Dynasty

Last year, no one was talking about Phillip Lindsay even as late as August. With Royce Freeman drafted by the Broncos and dominating a lot of the dynasty rookie draft discussion, Lindsay flew so under the radar that he went undrafted in our staff league's rookie draft. Lindsay went on to rush for 1,000 yards, […]

Rookie Spotlight - Mecole Hardman

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman is, perhaps, the most difficult rookie receiver to value right now, because his immediate fantasy potential is almost entirely dependent on whether or not the NFL suspends Tyreek Hill and, if they do, on how long that suspension is. Hardman is an interesting prospect, a speedster who […]

Veteran Wide Receivers Set to Lose Targets in 2019

It's a yearly cycle: new players enter the league and older players are either pushed out or start down a path that eventually leads to them being pushed out. No one -- not even the Larry Fitzgeralds of the world -- can play forever. Speaking of Larry Fitzgerald, let's turn to the subject of this […]

Late-Round Rookie WRs to Target in Dynasty Drafts

With the NFL Draft behind us, it's rookie draft season for dynasty owners. You probably have some good ideas of who you'll be taking early in those drafts, but what about in the later rounds? Who's your fourth-round rookie pick going to be? How will you ever make sense of the guys available that late? […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis (Quarterbacks)

We've finished our post-draft dynasty rankings here at RotoBaller, which means that it's time to look at those rankings by tier and discuss them. Youth rules the day in these rankings, with three of our top four quarterbacks entering their second or third seasons. But not every dynasty owner is planning for the future, so […]

Will Arizona's New Offense Rise Like a Phoenix?

I think that there are times when we fantasy football writers need to own up to our past mistakes. I'm not talking about small things like "telling someone the wrong start/sit" or "being wrong about a sleeper pick," because those things happen. No, I mean when we get things very wrong, as I did back […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (5/5/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

So, Sunday's two-game slate's going to be really interesting, because Portland/Denver Game 4 is happening, but the key players in that game played a four overtime thriller on Friday, so fatigue is likely to be a factor, meaning DFS players might need to be careful with that game and instead focus more on the Sixers […]

Rookie Running Backs In The Best Fantasy Situations

The NFL Draft has come and gone, and now it's time to take a look at the new landscape of the league. Today, I want to talk about rookie running backs and which ones ended up in potentially good fantasy situations, specifically in re-draft leagues. Who'll be able to make an impact on the field […]

They Took Who??? Teams That Confused Us by Drafting the Wrong Player

Every year, the NFL Draft treats viewers to surprises. Often, those surprises are...not necessarily good ones. Teams make mistakes, or they make non-mistakes that appear to be mistakes at first glance, and those mistakes can have serious fantasy football ramifications. Last year, I wrote this column and pegged the following players as wrong choices: Josh […]

Serge Ibaka May Be Unplayable In This Series

Toronto Raptors power forward Serge Ibaka scored just two points and grabbed a rebound in Monday’s Game 2 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He was 1-for-5 from the floor.

Pascal Siakam Continues Strong Postseason Play

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has shown in this postseason why he’s likely going to be the league’s Most Improved Player once this year’s award winners are announced. In Monday’s Game 2 loss, Siakam scored 21 points on 9-for-25 shooting while adding seven rebounds, three assists, four steals, and a block. Siakam is looking like […]

Kawhi Leonard Has Huge Night In Game 2

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard has been playing exceptional basketball in Toronto’s first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers and after scoring 45 points in a Game 1 win, he did his best to keep the Raptors in Game 2, scoring 35 points on 13-for-24 shooting in the loss. Leonard also added seven rebounds, six assists […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had his worst game of these playoffs in Monday’s Game 2 win over the Raptors, scoring just 12 points on 2-for-7 shooting while adding six rebounds, five assists and a block. It’s a small sample but through two games, Embiid is shooting just 28 percent from the field and 16.7 […]

J.J. Redick Struggles From Deep In Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick has been mostly fine shooting the ball from deep in these playoffs after developing a reputation as a poor postseason shooter, but he struggled in Game 2 of Philly’s second-round series against Toronto, hitting just two of his eight shots from deep on his way to a 4-for-10 night […]

Jimmy Butler Scores 30 Points In Game 2 Win

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler was held in check in Game 1 of the team’s second-round series against Toronto, but he came out on fire in Game 2, scoring 30 points on 9-for-22 shooting, sinking all eight of his free throws and pulling down 11 rebounds in the victory. Butler also added five assists and […]

The third day of the NFL Draft is when things can start to drag on for people who aren't super into the NFL, but it's also where there's a ton of value to be had. Teams can fill a lot of holes -- particularly at a position like running back -- late in the draft. […]

From there, though, things started to go awry, with the Raiders and Giants in particular making questionable early picks. Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make sense of things from a […]

P.J. Tucker Struggles In Game 5

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker struggled to make an impact on the offensive end in Houston’s Game 5 win over the Utah Jazz, scoring eight points on 2-for-7 shooting. Tucker did add nine rebounds and four blocks, but Houston will need him to be more efficient from the floor if they want to win in […]

Chris Paul Solid In Game 5

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul scored 15 points on 6-for-16 shooting in Wednesday’s victory over the Utah Jazz. Paul also added eight rebounds, five assists, and three steals.

Clint Capela Records Double-Double In Game 5

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela scored 16 points on 6-for-7 shooting in Wednesday’s win over the Utah Jazz. He was 4-for-5 from the free-throw line and also grabbed 10 rebounds to go along with three blocks and a pair of assists. It wasn’t the easiest series for Capela, who had the unenviable task of going […]

James Harden Shakes Off Another Bad Start

Houston Rockets guard James Harden struggled to find his shot early in Houston’s Game 5 win over the Utah Jazz, but the former MVP still managed to finish the night with 26 points on 10-for-26 shooting while going 3-for-12 from deep.

Jae Crowder Explodes In Game 4

Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder hadn’t scored in double figures yet in Utah’s first-round series against the Houston Rockets, but on Monday he poured in 23 points on 8-for-13 shooting while adding four rebounds, an assist and a pair of steals to the ledger as well. Crowder was 3-for-8 from three. Performances like this might […]

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio scored 18 points on 6-for-17 shooting in Monday’s Game 4 victory over the Houston Rockets. Rubio also added 11 assists, three rebounds, a steal, and a block.
