I have been playing fantasy sports since I was in college and have been writing about fantasy football (along with baseball and hockey) for 30 years now. I have had fantasy articles published on the websites for ESPN, Bleacher Report, SportsFan Radio, and the Hockey News, and have now been writing with RotoBaller for almost five years. I have been honored to have written the weekly "Tight End Waiver Wire Column" for RotoBaller the past four years. I have also written a short story collection called "10 Tales To Make Your Head Explode" that was featured on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and a children's book titled "Jeepers" that is currently used by schools around the country in second-grade classrooms. My poetry and short stories have been featured in various magazines over the years as well, so fantasy football is not the only writing I do, but it is easily the most fun. Feel free to follow me on Twitter at @craigrondinone. Thanks for reading my columns and articles and visiting RotoBaller!

2024 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sleepers and Undervalued

It is never too early for fantasy football managers to start searching for sleepers for the upcoming season. The tight end position is top-heavy in fantasy football, with young studs like Detroit’s Sam LaPorta and Arizona’s Trey McBride and veterans like Kansas City’s Travis Kelce and Baltimore’s Mark Andrews dominating the top tier. That is […]


Cade Otton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

2024 NFL Draft - Veteran Tight Ends Who Could be Replaced on Draft Night

Out with the old, in with the new -- even at the tight end position, where some tight ends can hang around for decades as long as they can block and catch the occasional pass thrown at them inside the red zone. While the 2024 NFL Draft class is not loaded with a plethora of […]


Caleb Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, College FB, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

2024 NFL Draft - Five Teams Under the Most Pressure on Draft Night

The 2024 NFL Draft is Thursday night, and general managers and front-office personnel are likely as nervous as ever. The anxiety meter will register at an all-time high for many of the league’s top teams. The draft is the best way a cellar dweller can rebuild and become a contender again. Alternatively, it is also […]


Jameson Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Dynasty League Price Check – Jameson Williams

Will the third year be the charm for Detroit Lions wideout Jameson Williams? Fantasy footballers certainly hope so. Williams was taken in the first round of 2022 NFL Draft with the hopes he would be the big-play pass-catcher the Lions desperately needed at the wide receiver position. He was a home-run hitter during his college […]


George Pickens - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Dynasty League Price Check – George Pickens

Pittsburgh receiver George Pickens is the type of player fantasy general managers in dynasty football leagues wish they got their grubby hands on last season when he looked as lost as a kindergartener who just missed the bus. Pickens had shown flashes of brilliance during a rookie campaign where he posted a 52-801-4 line that […]


Cole Kmet - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL injury News

Fantasy Football Dynasty League Price Check – Cole Kmet

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is coming off a career year, and he did it despite not exactly having Joe Montana and Brett Favre throwing to him. Kmet enters the 2024 NFL campaign as one of the most valuable tight ends in fantasy football, especially in dynasty formats since he is only 25 years […]


Jonnu Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Dynasty League Price Check – Jonnu Smith

Veteran tight end Jonnu Smith has had an up-and-down career trajectory. The good news is his fantasy value was on the “up” side last season and could go even higher this upcoming season because of the organization he signed with during the offseason. Smith signed a two-year deal with the Miami Dolphins to serve as […]


Isaiah Likely - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Dynasty League Price Check – Isaiah Likely

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely would be the top tight end on many, if not most teams in the NFL. He has the tools and talent of a wide receiver, can split the seams with his above-average speed, and can use his body and hands to corral touchdown tosses inside the red zone. The […]


Luke Musgrave - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Dynasty League Price Check – Luke Musgrave

The NFL Draft has not taken place and training camp is several months away, but it is never too early for fantasy football managers to prepare for the upcoming season, especially if they participate in dynasty leagues. While the offseason means taking a break from football and concentrating on other fantasy sports like baseball, hockey, […]


Chigoziem Okonkwo - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Dynasty Sleepers Heading Into 2024- Tight End

When you play in a dynasty fantasy football league, you do not just plan for the upcoming season, you plan for the next five seasons, too. There is more to take into consideration when formulating which players you want to target in a dynasty league compared to a standard league. You have to put a […]


Early 2024 Fantasy Football Sleepers - Tight End

The Super Bowl may have just happened, but that does not mean fantasy footballers should waste any time looking forward to the 2024 NFL season. It is NEVER too early to prepare for the next season of fantasy football! Some fantasy players were probably taking notes about Deebo Samuel’s lack of durability and Justin Watson’s […]


Derek Carr - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Which Draft Pick Do The New Orleans Saints Have In The 2024 NFL Draft?

The New Orleans Saints were just good enough to have a winning record and just bad enough not to qualify for the NFL playoffs. New Orleans’ offense was borderline average all season long thanks to spotty play from quarterback Derek Carr, the worst year of tailback Alvin Kamara’s career, and former Pro Bowl receiver Michael […]


Top 10 Most Disappointing Players Of The 2023 NFL Season

The 2023 fantasy football season is in the books, and several superstar players did not have superstar seasons for the fantasy managers who rostered them. Sometimes these fantasy failures had many things going against them, including terrible supporting casts, awful offensive coordinators, or major injuries to teammates that stuck them with second-stringers. But in some […]


DeAndre Hopkins, Will Levis - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Why Did The Tennessee Titans Fire Mike Vrabel?

There were many NFL coaches that football fans knew were going to get pink-slipped as soon as the regular season was over. Mike Vrabel was not one of them. Vrabel was surprisingly sacked on Tuesday afternoon after spending six seasons as the Tennessee Titans’ main man. He led the Titans to four straight winning seasons […]


Sam LaPorta - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Sam LaPorta Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Maybe the difference between being the No. 2 seed and the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs is not worth losing your starting tight end and breakout offensive star? Detroit Lions rookie phenom Sam LaPorta would be a top contender for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award if Houston Texans quarterback C.J. […]


Zay Flowers - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Zay Flowers Starting and Playing This Week? Week 18 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks

Baltimore Ravens speedster Zay Flowers has had a sensational rookie campaign. Too bad for his fantasy managers that roster him that it will probably end a game early. Flowers has scored touchdowns in back-to-back games and has accounted for a dozen receptions for 178 yards in those contests. These games happened during the semifinal and […]


Kenneth Walker III - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is Kenneth Walker III Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

It has been an up-and-down season for the Seattle Seahawks and many of their core offensive players, including their top tailback, Kenneth Walker III. Walker has rushed for 827 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games this season. He has also added 28 catches for 256 yards and a score on passing plays. Walker has […]


2025 Fantasy Football Early-Round Best Ball Busts, Overvalued

Is Christian McCaffrey Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

It has been a dream season for Christian McCaffrey. Let’s hope his latest injury does not turn the end of it into a nightmare. McCaffrey has been the best player in fantasy football this season. He will win the NFL rushing title, he is tied for a league-best 21 touchdowns, and has added 67 receptions […]


Juwan Johnson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 18 TE Pickups Include Juwan Johnson, Tucker Kraft, Taysom Hill, and more!

If you have not focused your attention on your fantasy hockey and hoops teams yet and still care about fantasy football, this is the column for you! This is my final tight end waiver wire column of 2023, and let me tell you there have been few dull moments. Fantasy footballers have needed tight ends […]


Russell Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Why Is Russell Wilson Benched In Week 17?

Denver Broncos head honcho Sean Payton shocked the fantasy football world by benching his superstar quarterback heading into a win-at-all-costs home game against the equally-inept Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson has gone from the $200 million franchise quarterback to the clipboard holder in a week’s time. The former starting signal caller of the Broncos was actually […]


Chigoziem Okonkwo - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 17 TE Pickups Include Chigoziem Okonkwo, Tucker Kraft, Juwan Johnson, and more!

If you are reading this article, you have either made the championship game in your fantasy football league with a mediocre-at-best tight end, or you just love my writing. Either way, kudos to you! In most fantasy leagues, this is Super Bowl week. Week 18 is dismissed because many players are rested for the playoffs, […]


Is Hunter Henry Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

New England tight end Hunter Henry has been a longtime stalwart for fantasy footballers throughout his career, but he had not done much for anybody in 2023 until Weeks 14 and 15 of the NFL regular season. After scoring touchdowns in each of the opening two games of the season, Henry was harder to find […]


Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 16 TE Pickups Include Hunter Henry, Tucker Kraft, Darren Waller, Tyler Higbee, more

Fantasy football managers no longer have to worry about bye weeks! They just have to worry about injuries and the terrible quarterbacks throwing dying quails to their tight ends. While no teams are on bye this week or for the rest of the season, there are fantasy football managers who are entering their playoff tilts […]


Zach Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks

Is Zach Wilson Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Don’t look now, but we have a new fantasy football force on our hands! New York Jets quarterback/franchise fiasco Zach Wilson has struggled mightily this season and throughout his short career. He has been pegged as one of a long line of quarterback busts. Most fantasy footballers and Jets fans would prefer to see Aaron […]


Keenan Allen - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Keenan Allen Playing or Injured in Week 15? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Los Angeles Chargers top target Keenan Allen has been one of the best receivers in fantasy football throughout the 2023 NFL season. Will he be able to keep racking up the receptions Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders, or will his body betray him? Allen leads the league with 108 receptions, the only pro […]


Gerald Everett - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Gerald Everett Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Gerald Everett had the best year of his career in 2022. 2023 has not been a repeat performance, however. Injuries, inconsistency, and the below-par play of the offense around him has caused Everett’s numbers to take a Ronnie Lott-like hit this year. The good news for the Chargers' top tight end is that he has […]


Chigoziem Okonkwo - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 15 TE Pickups Include Isaiah Likely, Darren Waller, Hunter Henry, Brevin Jordan

This is the time of the NFL regular season fantasy footballers love -- three games on Saturday and no teams on bye! With all 32 NFL teams playing this week, that means all tight ends will be playing (as long as they are healthy). That does not mean the fantasy football world is not in […]


Darren Waller - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 14 TE Pickups Include Darren Waller, Isaiah Likely, Tyler Higbee, and More

As we inch closer to the end in fantasy football leagues, getting your roster ready for the final playoff push is paramount. Arizona’s Trey McBride and Washington’s Logan Thomas are the only starting tight ends on bye this week, so most fantasy managers will not be scouring the waiver wire this week for help at […]


When Will Mecole Hardman Jr. Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Mecole Hardman Jr. has had an interesting season, but not a very productive one for fantasy footballers. Hardman Jr. signed with the New York Jets in the offseason to be part of a revamped receiving corps that was supposed to be buoyed by Aaron Rodgers’ pinpoint passes. One drive into the season, however, Rodgers’ tore […]


Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 13 TE Pickups Include Pat Freiermuth, Tyler Higbee, Isaiah Likely and More

The retail shopping world just had “Black Friday” to contend with last week. The fantasy football world will have to contend with “Black Sunday” this week with six NFL teams on bye. Yes, after a one-week reprieve for Thanksgiving, the bye weeks are back, baby! Back in full force with a half-dozen teams taking the […]
