BOLD! - A Fantasy Baseball Second-Half Predictions Thread

Calling All RotoBallers! The MLB All-Star break has come to pass, which means it's time again to make some BOLD! fantasy baseball predictions for the second half of the season.  Perhaps the loyal and long-time RotoBallers will remember performing this same exercise last year?  I'll admit to making some unreasonable and fairly absurd predictions in […]


Fantasy Baseball ROS Rankings: July Update

  RotoBaller Fantasy Baseball Rankings for July 2014 Clayton Kershaw, Andrew McCutchen, J.D. Martinez and Billy Hamilton stole the fantasy baseball headlines during the month of June.  Kershaw put up one of the best pitching months in recent history, while J.D. Martinez came out of nowhere to revive many lucky fantasy owners hopes if they picked […]


Fantasy Baseball ROS Rankings: June Update

  Rest of Season Fantasy Baseball Rankings  Edwin Encarnacion mashed, George Springer sprung to life, and less-heralded starters Dallas Keuchel and Phil Hughes became fantasy relevant during the month of May. With two months in the books in the MLB season, it's time for our June fantasy baseball rankings update here at RotoBaller! As a reminder, […]


Fantasy Baseball Rankings: May Update

  Fantasy Baseball Rankings for May One month and change is in the books, which means it's time for our May rankings update here at RotoBaller! As a reminder, players are ranked based on how I feel they will perform over the remainder of the season in 5x5 rotisserie scoring. Among the biggest movers this […]


Updated Fantasy Baseball Rankings for April

  Fantasy Baseball Rankings for April The season has begun, at long last! And 10 closers have already dropped like flies...well, maybe 3 or 4, but still, there's been a ton of changes in the early going and the implications are many for fantasy baseball managers.  Thus, RotoBaller brings you our April Fantasy Baseball Rankings. […]


RotoBaller Spotlight: The National Fantasy Baseball Championship

If you're an experienced Fantasy Baseball player who is looking for a new challenge this year, I strongly recommend the National Fantasy Baseball Championship -- or NFBC for short. If you're not familiar with the NFBC, they've been offering the industry's premier high-stakes fantasy baseball contests since 2004.  Greg Ambrosius and Tom Kessenich lead a professional first-class organization that […]

Top 25 Third Basemen (3B): Rankings, Tiers & Projections

Before I sat down to rank the Top 25 Third Basemen for 2014 fantasy faseball, I thought I'd have a tough time coming up with twenty-five players at the position who I would consider drafting in 2014. I thought I might have to cut this list to twenty, but even after losing hot-corner mainstays such […]


Top 25 First Basemen (1B) - Rankings, Tiers and Projections

  Top 25 First Basemen (1B) - 2014 Fantasy Baseball Rankings It comes as no surprise that first base is once again one of the deepest positions in Fantasy Baseball for 2014.  The depth of the position extends into the middle and lower tiers, where you can find serviceable first basemen in the later rounds […]

Top 20 Catchers (C) - Rankings, Tiers and Projections

I realize that Catcher is probably the least exciting position in Fantasy Baseball.  It's not sexy at all, but the position is still important and should not be overlooked.  As recently as three years ago, the position lacked depth and a heavy emphasis was placed on drafting an elite catcher early.  Considering there were very […]


NFL Playoff Rankings for Daily Fantasy Football Lineups (DFS)
