The first big slate of the season is only one day away, and it's time to revisit one of our favorite pastimes - building NFL DFS lineups! I'm not usually the wide receiver matchup guy, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. All kidding aside, I did spend some time digging […]

Welcome back to my running backs to target feature, where I attempt to find the best possible spots for RBs to thrive each week. I'm breaking […]

Four of the industry's best analysts are here to break down 18 potential sleepers and busts ahead of the remaining Week 1 games. […]

Defense wins championships, right? I mean, that's how the old saying goes, and the Seattle Seahawks are the most recent example. But does it really apply to fantasy football? Defenses are often dismissed as the least important concern for a fantasy manager. Some folks even want to eliminate them from fantasy football leagues altogether! Oh, […]

Football fans have been waiting for this game for seven months. Americans love the NFL; we simply can't get enough football -- and the league knows it. It has created dual openers with two island games to kick off Week 1, and has placed a rematch of last year's Super Bowl front and center. While […]

As we close in on the first week of NFL games, fantasy football drafts are ramping up around the nation. Even if you're already done with your Best-Ball drafts or other early drafts, there's still a pretty good chance that you have some leagues drafting this weekend. Everyone has their favorite way to approach drafts, […]

No preseason is complete without going on the record with your favorite players for the upcoming season. Last year I had a few nice hits with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Warren having big seasons, but I also whiffed on Bucky Irving and Jalen Hurts. I'm getting sucked back in on Bucky this year, but he's […]

Earlier this week, I wrote about wide receivers who stand to benefit this season as a result of roster turnover in the offseason. Now, it's time to look at the tight ends and running backs who could also see an uptick in usage in 2026. We tend to focus on targets and air yards for […]

One more weekend. Then we can sit back, watch some football games, and enjoy reaping the rewards of all our fantasy football draft preparations! But we're not there just yet. I've done dozens of best ball drafts and several industry drafts, but I still have two of my most important drafts ahead of me -- […]

We might be a week out from the start of football season, but if you think we are going to stop betting aggressively on baseball, you have another thing coming! If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks will all use the odds on the most unique and fastest-growing […]

It's usually pretty easy to find players that you like for the upcoming season and provide all the reasons why fantasy managers should draft those players. But writing about which players to fade can be a bit more challenging. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly some things to like about the players that I'm […]

If you play in a H2H league, you might be heading into the first round of your playoffs this week, so it's time to get granular and see if we can find some sneaky pick-ups who can provide you with every advantage possible in your matchups! My weekly hitters, streamers, and fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups column […]

Every year, we see some players drafted late -- or not drafted at all -- become valuable fantasy football contributors. This article is meant to help you identify players who stand out from the rest of the pack near the end of the draft. Not all of them will hit, but perhaps we can unearth […]

There have been years when I've chased the top tier of elite "Konami code" quarterbacks in the early rounds. This is not going to be one of those years. The quarterback position is pretty deep this year, and I'm comfortable letting my leaguemates spend an early round pick on Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, while […]

The NFL season is rapidly approaching, and the excitement that comes with it is palpable. You're likely doing some fantasy football prep, drafting teams, or just getting far too excited about your team by reading all the glowing reports that are coming out of training camp. At RotoBaller, we continue to develop our tools and […]

This should be my final rankings update for the MLB season. Each week, I cover a different position, from starting pitchers to closers, outfielders, and infielders. This week, we take our last look at the infielder leaderboard, and I make my final predictions for how things shake out by the end of September. Each week, […]

Last Wednesday, we had a big day with a lot of success on the bets posted in this very article. Let's see if I can do it again! I've been up drinking coffee and chewing over the data for all of today's games, and I have landed on four game bets and another five player […]

For most fantasy baseball managers in head-to-head formats, these are the final few weeks of the regular season before the playoffs start. And for those in Yahoo roto leagues, we are officially 35 days out from the end of the year! There's no time to waste, and if you need some extra bats for the […]

Every year we attempt to assess which players can perform as well or better than they did the year before and target them in fantasy football. Like any other sport, just getting on the field for as many plays as possible is half the battle. But it's also about getting involved while you're out there. […]

It's been a really solid late-season surge for yours truly, as I have gone 17-7 across my last two MLB slates to push into my most profitable spot on the ledger sheet this year. Let's stay hot with a big card today, and I'm even going to press my luck with a few hitter props […]

We are back for what should be our final check-in on the OF leaderboard for the 2026 season. The dog days of August are in full force, and the leaderboard gets another shake-up with two Cardinals in the top five and a late-season surge from Fernando Tatis Jr. So who are the top 10 outfielders? […]

What even is this "fantasy football" thing that I am hearing about right now?

My weekly hitters, streamers, fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups column will identify hitters […]

If you're reading this, you are probably looking for actionable information you can use to make tough draft-day decisions at the running back position. Every year, I try to steer my analysis toward the data I focus on most when making those decisions myself. And I am not sure there are two more important data […]

It's been a minute since I have researched home run props, as I am usually on the strikeout prop beat, but here goes nothing! I am zeroing in on a few very good hitting environments on the late-night slate and a few pitchers with really bad splits against one handedness of hitter or another. Below,... […]
