Fantasy Football Tight End Breakouts: Draft Sleepers (2025)

In fantasy football, the trend to punt the tight-end position is back en vogue in 2025. For a while, it made sense to try to draft a top tight end like Mark Andrews or Travis Kelce early in drafts, but if you're not taking Brock Bowers in the early rounds this season, you may want […]

The fantasy baseball season is drawing closer and closer to an end; however, our Fantasy Hitter Breakouts or Fake Outs article continues to go strong. This week, I'm filling in for the usual author of this piece, Kevin Larson, and I hope to bring you the same level of analysis that he has throughout this […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (8/20/2025)

Today's MLB games bring us plenty of good spots for home runs, and I'm hoping to keep my streak going as I went one for three on Monday. I correctly identified Michael Harris II for a bomb while Salvador Perez was a late scratch and didn't even make the lineup (though several of his teammates […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (8/18/2025)

Home run props are back in my life, and it's a beautiful thing! I've been on a roll lately, identifying at least two correct home run calls in each of my last three articles. However, today is going to be my biggest challenge yet. To start, I am only selecting four picks instead of five. […]

Who Should I Draft for Fantasy Football? Emeka Egbuka, Jayden Higgins, Kyle Williams Outlooks (2025)

We might be comparing apples to oranges here a bit, as Emeka Egbuka, Jayden Higgins, and Kyle Williams all have very different ADPs; however, the one thing they all have in common is that they are dynamic rookie receivers who are expected to be difference-makers for their respective teams. These days, when teams invest draft […]

NRFI Betting Today - No Runs First Inning Best MLB Picks and Odds (Saturday 8/16/2025)

It's been a while since I penned the NRFI piece here at RotoBaller, as we have shifted some writing assignments around; however, I will be doing at least one article a week for NRFI bets for the rest of the season. I happened to draw today's slate, and after digging through the stats and trends, […]


Matt Wallner - fantasy baseball draft sleepers DFS MLB injury news

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (8/13/2025)

Usually, if I hit one home run bet out of four or five, it's enough to break even or make a small profit. That's because I rarely bet on HR props under +250, and I often try to target players with longer odds. The last two slates that I've written up here at RotoBaller, I've […]


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

Who Should I Draft for Fantasy Football? Marvin Harrison Jr., Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith Outlooks

There are some tough decisions to be made in the middle rounds of fantasy football drafts this season. If we have to choose between Marvin Harrison Jr., Jaylen Waddle, and DeVonta Smith, which player offers the most upside at their ADP? Can Harrison Jr. bounce back after a somewhat disappointing rookie season compared to expectations? […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (8/11/2025)

After hitting two home run props on Saturday, I (as the main DFS and betting editor at RotoBaller) decided to write more HR prop content and less NRFI content. I'm still betting NRFIs every day, and you should check out my guy Frank Ammirante's NRFI bets today; however, I feel like I am dialed in […]


Jaylen Warren - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Who Should I Draft? Jaylen Warren, Jordan Mason, Jaydon Blue Fantasy Football Outlooks (2025)

When trying to determine who to take in your fantasy football draft at the running back position in the middle rounds between Jaylen Warren, Jordan Mason, and Jaydon Blue, it's important to weigh each player's role, potential workload, and team dynamics. Each running back offers different strengths. Warren is an elite pass-catching back, while Jordan […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (8/9/2025)

The hunt for homers never ends here at RotoBaller! I'm pinch-hitting for my good buddy Zach Thompson, who normally gives you his best home run recommendations on Saturdays.

Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Breakouts or Fake Outs? Part 13

Last week, I took a break from this piece as I spent some time analyzing some of the bigger MLB trades that took place at the deadline and their fantasy impact. At this point in the year, I've broken down a large chunk of the relevant starting pitchers in baseball, and I was struggling with […]

NRFI Betting Today - No Runs First Inning Best MLB Picks and Odds (Friday 8/8/2025)

I try not to speak in hyperbole, but this may be my favorite NRFI slate of the season so far! It's not about the number of NRFI bets tonight; it's about the confidence in each bet that gets me excited about a potential sweep. Monday, I went big with six bets and finished 3-3 (again, […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (8/6/2025)

Wednesday slates often bring early starts, and today is no exception, as we have 10 games set to start in the early or late afternoon. However, we also don't have many parks with major weather advantages for hitters, except for one game that I will be targeting in the late afternoon. Most of my targets […]

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19 (August 4 - August 10)

Some of those guys will be featured in this piece today, along with some of the most readily available hitters in […]

NRFI Betting Today - No Runs First Inning Best MLB Picks and Odds (Monday 8/4/2025)

We had a very solid night last Friday with a 3-1 record on four NRFI bets and came up just one out shy of a clean sweep as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a solo shot off Michael Wacha with two outs in the bottom of the first inning. We usually get fewer games on Mondays, […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (8/3/2025)

Hey, it's your friendly neighborhood Thunder Dan with some thoughts on which big leaguers might leave the yard today in our latest edition of home run prop picks here at RotoBaller.

Fantasy Baseball Fallout From the MLB Trade Deadline - Top Ten Deals That Matter (2025)

Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline was one of the more memorable deadlines in recent years and capped off a very active week in Major League Baseball. Some deals are old news by this point, but yesterday's action was fast and furious, and you may have missed a few important moves. If you want to see every […]


Ranger Suarez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

NRFI Betting Today - No Runs First Inning Best MLB Picks and Odds (Friday 8/1/2025)

The last big NRFI slate for me was Monday, when I recommended six different games for NRFI bets. I was bumming hard when the first three bets lost and thinking, "What do I have to do to get a win?" after last week's hot streak came to a screeching halt. But the last three bets […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (7/30/2025)

It's been a week or two since I've written our daily home run prop article here at RotoBaller, as I have been grinding those NRFI bets.

5 Second Half Fantasy Baseball Bust Candidates: Starting Pitchers to Avoid (2025)

In fantasy sports, we constantly find ourselves assessing and reassessing players' fantasy values throughout the season. Baseball has such a long season that we have many opportunities to do this; some may even argue we do it too often. But a player's value can fluctuate as wildly as the stock market from week to week.

NRFI Betting Today - No Runs First Inning Best MLB Picks and Odds (Monday 7/28/2025)

There's a saying that "all good things must come to an end," but I am not sure that softens the blow any, as we had an awesome 11-1 run on NRFI and YRFI bets heading into last Friday, only to go 1-3 on the night. But baseball is not the sport for those who expect […]

The last week of July might see others turn their attention to the NFL, but I'm here to ride out baseball season until the end.

NRFI Betting Today - No Runs First Inning Best MLB Picks and Odds (Friday 7/25/2025)

The pressure to keep the winning streak going is mounting; I can feel it. Today, we find out if I crumble under that pressure or if I can keep this heater going the same way a hitter bears down with two strikes and manages to fight off a fastball on the outside corner for an […]

MLB DFS Picks Today: Daily Fantasy Baseball Strategy and Tips For FanDuel, DraftKings (7/22/25)

While all 30 teams are in action tonight, just 20 of those will be available on the 10-game main slate on FanDuel and DraftKings. Sometimes in life, less is more! For a fantasy analyst, fewer games to break down early in the morning is not always a bad thing! There is no shortage of ace […]
