RotoBaller PPR Mock Draft Recap - Rounds 2-3

Hallelujah, we’ve officially entered fantasy football draft season!

C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, HOU) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

By virtue of the position they play, the value of tight ends in fantasy football is often downplayed.

The rookie tight end class heading into this year’s draft was one of the deepest since 2010 when Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, and Dennis Pitta entered the league. Only one tight end was drafted in the first round that year, namely Oklahoma Sooner Jermaine Gresham, compared to 2017 where three tight ends were drafted in […]

Fantasy Spin - Eric Decker to the Titans

After playing three seasons with Gang Green, veteran wide receiver Eric Decker was released on June 12 by the New York Jets in what has been an offseason of cleaning house for general manager Mike Maccagnan.
