Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 18

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Batting average is just one of many statistics fantasy owners must consider, but contact rate can also be telling of all-around success at the plate. A sudden increase or decrease in contact rate could signal the beginning of an extended hot or cold streak, leading to important waiver wire choices or start/sit […]


Week 18 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The roster changes continue and fantasy values will keep fluctuating. Now is the time to focus on speculative adds for players who may see increased roles or move to a better situation. The corner infield positions traditionally offer power with the potential for high averages, so you may want to target players that can offer […]


2017 Player vs. Player - A.J. Green vs. Amari Cooper

Fantasy football draft season is upon us and RotoBaller is here to help! In this series, two RotoBaller experts will discuss the merits of two players with similar value and average draft position (ADP). Remember that situations will change for all players over the course of the summer and it may impact where they are selected in […]


Josh Bell (1B/OF, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie Josh Bell keeps climbing up the fantasy rankings, but not necessarily in ownership. His second half numbers show improved plate discipline and the power hasn't evaporated with it. Bell is up to 18 home runs and 55 RBI on the season, which […]


Alex Claudio (RP, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Claudio has inherited the closer job in Texas by default. The team had about five candidates ahead of him earlier this season, but they've all faltered. Claudio has held his own so far, picking up four saves and seven holds on the […]

Josh Reddick (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Reddick hit a three-run homer on Friday and drove in five on the night, giving him 10 HR, 53 RBI on the season. Those aren't overwhelming power numbers, but Reddick is contributing even more in the less exciting categories, such as runs scored, and […]


Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 18

A couple days left for everything to devolve into total chaos and fantasy rosters to be turned upside down. Don't you love the trade deadline? Let's see whose stock is rising and falling this week before it all gets screwed up. Scouting players who may be undervalued and re-assessing players who may be overvalued is a […]


Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 17

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The trade deadline is almost here and rosters are being shaken up, both in fantasy and reality. Obviously, batting average is just one of many statistics fantasy owners must consider, but contact rate can also be telling of all-around success at the plate. A sudden increase or decrease in contact rate could signal the […]


Fantasy Spin - Kenneth Dixon Out for Season

On Monday, the Ravens got more bad news in regard to second-year running back Kenneth Dixon. Already suspended the first four games of the season for a violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, Dixon has now been ruled out for the season with a knee injury. Dixon tore the meniscus in his right knee […]


2017 Standard Rankings Analysis - Quarterbacks

As the start of NFL training camps quickly approaches, we take a position-by-position look at the RotoBaller player rankings to help prepare you for draft day. Just as in real life, no fantasy team will go far without a prominent quarterback to lead the way. Draft strategy varies wildly when it comes to the QB […]


Week 17 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The roster changes continue and fantasy values will keep fluctuating. Now is the time to focus on speculative adds for players who may see increased roles or move to a better situation. The corner infield positions traditionally offer power with the potential for high averages, so you may want to target players that can offer […]


Ryan Madson (RP, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: It's doubtful whether Ryan Madson can be considered the solution to Washington's ninth-inning woes, but he will at least get the chance for the time being. Madson was acquired along with teammate Sean Doolittle from Oakland last week. So far, Doolittle has picked […]


Cory Spangenberg (2B/3B/OF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: All Cory Spangenberg has done in the second half so far is start an eight-game hitting streak with five multi-hit games, three home runs, and 10 RBI. This could be dismissed as a good week for a mediocre hitter, but there may be […]


Top 250 - PPR Rankings and Tiers (July)

Welcome to our 2017 fantasy football rankings here at RotoBaller. This will be the first look at the overall 2017 fantasy football PPR rankings, including our rankings tiers. More in-depth breakdowns by position will follow for both standard and PPR formats, so don’t touch that dial after this episode ends! First order of business - for […]


Podcast: Fantasy Bomb - Dynasty Draft Talk

RotoBaller's NFL editor/writer Pierre Camus and writer Travis Rosen break down the latest football news to help you prepare for draft day. This week, we invite guest Tyler Ghee from FFDynasty260.com and the FFD260 podcast to talk dynasty league football and startup drafts. Be sure to tune into RotoBaller Radio on SiriusXM (channel Sirius 210, […]


Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 17

Now things are getting interesting. There are plenty of moves left to be made, but the trade market is already active and the usual buyers and sellers are doing their thing. Let's see whose stock is rising and falling this week. Scouting players who may be undervalued and re-assessing players who may be overvalued is […]


Strikeout Rate Risers and Fallers for Week 16: Buy or Sell?

Missing bats is the #1 way a pitcher can control his own fate. If hitters make contact, the pitcher is largely at the mercy of the atmosphere, the weather, the ball park, the ability/work ethic of his fielders, and sometimes just sheer luck. This is ultimately why strikeouts are so important. By looking at pitchers […]


Week 16 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The second half will bring about many changes, as it always does. Now is the time to focus on speculative adds for players who may see increased roles or move to a better situation. It's too soon to know for sure what will happen in the trade market, so if you need a short-term boost […]


Paul DeJong (2B/3B/SS, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals have found a gem in rookie Paul DeJong. It wasn't expected that they would need a new shortstop, but the dismissal of Jhonny Peralta and disappointing season of Aledmys Diaz has resulted in regular playing time for DeJong. He is slashing […]


Mike Foltynewicz (SP, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: While the Braves' starting rotation from the beginning of the year continues to change, one constant has been 25-year-old Mike Foltynewicz. Folty has managed to keep a winning record of 7-5 for a team playing .500 ball right now and has logged 10 […]


Carlos Rodon (SP, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: All due respect to Derek Holland, it would seem that Carlos Rodon is now the de facto ace of the White Sox staff. Rodon has been out of commission for the first three months of the season with a biceps injury, but has three […]


Tommy Pham (OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: It's time to give in. Pham is on pace for a 20/20 season and is batting .308 to boot. His .382 BABIP and 34.4% HR/FB are scaring away many a fantasy owner, which is the only way to explain his low ownership rate. That and the fact […]


Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 16

I've already given my take on players who are "buy high" candidates for the second half, if you will. Those players have already been covered in this space previously, so I'll dig a little deeper for buy candidates since not much has changed over the past week in player values. Scouting players who may be […]


Don't Stop Believing - Buy Targets for Continued Second Half Success

For certain players, the second half is almost like a whole different season. Players who disappointed for months on end may suddenly catch fire, while players who have seen surprising success may fall back to Earth in a hard way. Many fantasy owners are skeptical of these sudden success stories, leaving several real-life All-Stars widely […]


Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 15

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The first half is over and adjustments must be made in order to prepare for the stretch run. Obviously, batting average is one of the key statistics fantasy owners value, but contact rate can also be telling of all-around success at the plate. A sudden increase or decrease in contact rate could signal the […]


Week 15 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

As we head to the All-Star break, fantasy managers have a couple of days to stop managing lineups and start scouring the waiver wire for ways to fix any holes in the roster. It could be a good time to take a chance on some young, unproven players that have a chance to contribute down […]


All-Star Futures Game Observations

The Midsummer Classic is a must-see for any true baseball fan, but truth be told there is another game which takes place two days prior that is even better. The All-Star Futures game showcases the best minor league talent across all organizations. It gives us, the hardcore fans, a chance to see elite talents that […]


Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 15

As we enter the All-Star break this weekend, it's time to take a hard look at your roster(s) and assess your position for the second half. If you're near contention, finding the right player to help you make that final surge can make all the difference. Ask those who added Trea Turner or Gary Sanchez […]


Jose Pirela (2B/OF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: The Padres have made it a habit of patching holes in their lineup out of necessity. They may have found a permanent solution to the left field problem with Jose Pirela. With Alex Dickerson ruled out for the year and Travis Jankowski on […]


Mike Fiers (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Fiers didn't figure to be a big part of the Astros' plans this season, as several younger arms lurk in the minors to take his spot at the back end of the rotation. Instead, he has steadily improved each month, to the […]
