Jason Katz - RotoBaller

246 articles

I've been playing fantasy sports since 2003 and writing about it since 2015. You can find my work here on RotoBaller or for FantasyPros, FFToday and Fantasyfootballmetrics. I'm big on analytics and making decisions/predictions based on what the math says is the most likely outcome in a given situation. I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan living in New York. Eli Manning is not a Hall of Famer. Dez caught it.

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 8

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]


The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 8)

As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]


Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 8 Pickups and Adds

While there were plenty of movers and shakers on the fantasy scene, the tight end position didn't see as much volatility. Injuries have been the biggest story in the tight end world, but the tight ends remained healthy, at least during this past week. So here we are, feverishly looking to analyze statistics and projections to […]


Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 7

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 7)

Plainly and simply, this will be your weekly list of those end-of-roster guys that you can safely let go of, with the occasional unfortunate star player that finds his way here due to injury. Each week from now until the end of the season, I’ll be offering my thoughts on players who don’t deserve to […]


The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 6)

Plainly and simply, this will be your weekly list of those end-of-roster guys that you can safely let go of, with the occasional unfortunate star player that finds his way here due to injury. Each week from now until the end of the season, I’ll be offering my thoughts on players who don’t deserve to […]


AP in AZ - Adrian Peterson Traded to Cardinals

It is exceedingly rare that the NFL sees relevant in-season trades, especially from a fantasy standpoint. The last time we saw something like this was when everyone thought the Browns were insane for trading Trent Richardson to the Colts. Turns out that was grand theft of a draft pick by the Browns. On Tuesday, October […]

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

Down Goes Dalvin - Analyzing the Impact of Dalvin Cook's Injury

Before the season started, I was mystified at the high ranking of so many rookies. I even said to a friend that to justify the lofty expectations, this rookie class would essentially have to break records. As it turns out, it was well on its way to doing so (and still might). Amongst those leading […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers - Week 4

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 4 Pickups and Adds

While there were plenty of movers and shakers on the fantasy scene, the tight end position didn't see as much volatility. Injuries have been the biggest story in the tight end world, where players like Jordan Reed and Tyler Eifert were forced to miss action in Week 3. So here we are, feverishly looking to analyze […]


Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

Plainly and simply, this will be your weekly list of those end-of-roster guys that you can safely let go of, with the occasional unfortunate star player that finds his way here due to injury.

Below are my Week 2 cuts and drops for fantasy football. Each week from now until the end of the season, I’ll […]


Allen Robinson - Deal or No Deal?

What do we do with Allen Robinson? Guys like him are some of the most difficult players to analyze. He doesn't have great straight line speed, but Robinson's workout metrics are otherwise all in the upper echelon of WRs. His speed, burst, agility, and catch radius are all in the top third in the league […]


Stop that Hype Train! - Kenny Golladay

It's not the easiest thing to distinguish between legitimate hype and preseason buzz. Kenny Golladay should not be a legitimately hyped prospect. Not yet. While he makes for a tantalizing dynasty pick, he's gaining traction enough that he's appearing on ADP lists in re-draft leagues. This is a clear call to stop the hype train […]


Preseason Depth Chart Risers and Fallers

Over the course of the offseason, training camp, and the preseason, many names will be floated around as potentially having fantasy value. The preseason is typically when all that gets cleared up as depth charts are finalized, roster cuts are made, and we get some clarity on who is positioned where on each team. The […]


Sleeper Defenses for the 2017 Fantasy Football Season

It is exceedingly difficult to predict how defenses will fare over the course of the season. In 2016, half of the preseason top 12 fantasy defenses failed to finish top-12. Some of them didn't even come close. Others that were ranked highly barely stayed in the group. There are very few defenses that I consider […]


2017 NFL Team Outlook - Dallas Cowboys

This article continues our team outlook series where we will breakdown each NFL team from a fantasy football perspective. We will cover the major changes on each roster from this offseason and project what the team will do in the upcoming year. I'm here to discuss my favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys. I promise I'll […]


Let Sleeping Dogs Lie - Sleepers to Avoid in 2017

I'm sure you've heard this expression before. Every year, the word "sleeper" is thrown around a lot as we're all anxious and eager to find the next big thing that no one is really talking about. Well, sometimes you just have to let the sleeping dogs lie. As tempting as it may be to believe […]


Fantasy Football Auction Values Analysis - PPR Leagues

Auctions really don't get enough love. I am so much more excited for my auction drafts than I am for my snake drafts. There are a handful of players I am way more bullish on than consensus (which you'll see later on in this analysis) and in an auction, I know I have full control over […]


Pay Up! - Auction Draft Strategies

I did my first auction draft back in 2010. It was an unmitigated disaster. I had gone into the draft very familiar with player values and I refused to overspend. I ended up with a fantastic team...if you could start every player on a 16-man roster! The All-Value team failed spectacularly because everyone was good, […]


Bull Rush - Players Whose Market Share of Targets is Bound to Increase

Each NFL offseason is ripe with changes that impact the fantasy value of various players. Whether it's the player's team changing or the player changing teams, there are many things that can affect a player's season outlook that have nothing to do with his actual ability. Opportunity is one of the most important factors in […]
