Must-Own Breakout Running Backs with Late ADP

As fantasy football drafts get later and later, it gets more and more difficult to figure out who you should pick. Some people respond to this by saying "ehh, I'll just do whatever and figure things out on the waiver wire." And, well...yes, you're going to need to figure things out on the waiver wire […]

Rookie ADP Arbitrage - Damien Harris vs Justice Hill

Rookie running backs can be extremely popular. However, while everyone is looking at Josh Jacobs vs. Miles Sanders or David Montgomery, let us instead look at some players further down the line when it comes to your fantasy drafts. We are all hoping the top guys are going to be great. However, unless you have a […]

Dynasty ADP Arbitrage - Josh Jacobs vs Kerryon Johnson

Dynasty is a young man’s game. Not for the age of the participant, but the age of the players you want on your team. Especially at the running back position, it is imperative to find the young stud. Frank Gore notwithstanding, the typical RB hits a wall at age 30. The shelf life for a running […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Eric Ebron vs Irv Smith Jr.

Trying to make decisions in a dynasty startup draft can feel like a lifetime commitment as you're picking a player who'll hopefully be sitting on your roster for years to come. One strategy is to identify some hyped up players, then identify a similar player who's going at a slightly later ADP to draft instead. […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Kyler Murray or Cam Newton?

There's been a lot of hype behind Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray. Playing in an Air Raid-style offense for the Cardinals should allow Murray to be a high-volume passer fairly quickly, a guy who can be a great passer moving forward. There's also been a lot of not-hype for Cam Newton, who missed a couple […]

2019 NFL Rookie Rankings Analysis

With the 2019 NFL Draft now behind us, fantasy owners are now looking forward to the upcoming season. The first step in this process tends to be rookie drafts for those in dynasty formats. Now is the time to become acquainted with the new blood in the league, the teams in which they were drafted, […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Christian Kirk or N'Keal Harry?

The NFL draft is completed, and, as the offseason continues to wind, dynasty drafts are slowly taking place. The wide receiver position has steadily risen in prominence in recent years as the game has taken more of a wide-open approach. While there are the clear top guys at the position when you move your way […]

Rookie Roulette - Which WR Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?

With rookie draft season in full swing, you've got some major questions to think about, especially if you're picking early in your league's draft and need to figure out which wide receiver to pick first. The commonly accepted thought on this issue is to take N'Keal Harry first, but D.K. Metcalf s also a player […]

Rookie Draft ADP Arbitrage - DK Metcalf vs Mecole Hardman

If you were hoping to grab an elite rookie running back like New York Giants' running back Saquon Barkley last year, there aren't a ton of options. On the flip side, if you're in the market for a wide receiver, there are a number of great young options including D.K. Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks […]

The King's One-Man Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

We are very used to seeing seasonal one-man mock drafts, which have now been around since the early part of the century. I cannot officially claim to have invented the exercise, but I do not recall anyone else of prominence in our industry issuing them at the time when I published my first one around […]

Rookie Roulette - Which TE Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?

Noah Fant, tight end out of Iowa. T.J. Hockenson, tight end out of Iowa. Yes, one of these two former Hawkeyes should be the first tight end taken in rookie drafts this year. While there are some other interesting prospects at the position, your decision if you're in need of a tight end in a […]

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Goes After Kyler Murray in Dynasty Drafts?

Asking the question "which first-year quarterback should go first in rookie drafts" is, basically, a bad question. You don't need to read a 1000 word piece from me about why to pick Kyler Murray over the other quarterbacks in this class. No way. Kyler should be the first quarterback off the board in 100 percent […]

Fantasy Bomb Pod - Too Much Hype (Darrell Henderson)

RotoBaller fantasy football lead editor Pierre Camus (@pfunk00) and NFL writer/ranker Chris Mangano (@ChrisMangano) evaluate the fantasy football value of Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson.

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB is #1 in Rookie Drafts?

This year's rookie class didn't feature an undisputed 1.01 player like 2018 did with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who was a unique talent who led to people selling their entire dynasty teams and possibly their firstborn child to draft him. That paid off, but this year doesn't feature someone you should go all […]

The NFL Draft is in the books and OTAs have taken place, which means that it is time for the start of the fantasy football season! If you want to win your league this season, then stay tuned for a great schedule of articles being released and follow along with the mock drafts taking place. […]

Rookie Spotlight - Damien Harris

With the 87th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots took former Alabama running back, Damien Harris. Harris was the second back out of Alabama taken in this year's draft after the Oakland Raiders took Joshua Jacobs in the first round. Harris played all four years and led the team in rushing […]

Rookie Spotlight - Devin Singletary

In a rookie class filled with many questionable landing spots, one that has turned out to be fairly exciting is Devin Singletary landing with the Buffalo Bills. In the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Bills selected the electric running back out of FAU. During the off-season, the Bills have put together what […]

Rookie Spotlight - Marquise Brown

With the 25th pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. Brown immediately threatens to be the best wide receiver on the roster. The Ravens' identity has remained unchanged since they started in 1996. They take the ball to the ground to pound you into submission, and […]

Late-Round Dynasty Stashes and Deep Sleepers

One of the most fun parts of being involved in dynasty formats is watching your team evolve year after year. A part of that process is being aware of the landing spots of talented undrafted free agents. Not all the prospects are highly sought after by NFL teams, yet there is still value that tends […]

Rookie Spotlight - Juwann Winfree

Denver Broncos GM John Elway certainly doesn’t have the best history of trading up in drafts to get his guy. Just take one look at the now infamous 26th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, where Elway and the Broncos traded up to take the Seahawks’ pick, only to use it on quarterback Paxton […]

Rookie Spotlight - Kelvin Harmon

Prior to the 2019 NFL Draft, wide receiver Kelvin Harmon out of NC State was getting a lot of hype from the dynasty football community. Since falling a fair amount in the draft, the hype has died down some. Harmon even ended up getting drafted after another wide receiver that I like in this year's […]

Notable UDFAs to Watch in Dynasty

Last year, no one was talking about Phillip Lindsay even as late as August. With Royce Freeman drafted by the Broncos and dominating a lot of the dynasty rookie draft discussion, Lindsay flew so under the radar that he went undrafted in our staff league's rookie draft. Lindsay went on to rush for 1,000 yards, […]

Rookie Spotlight - Mecole Hardman

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman is, perhaps, the most difficult rookie receiver to value right now, because his immediate fantasy potential is almost entirely dependent on whether or not the NFL suspends Tyreek Hill and, if they do, on how long that suspension is. Hardman is an interesting prospect, a speedster who […]

When to Target QBs in Superflex Dynasty Leagues

Fantasy football has as many different variations and scoring formats as there are players in the NFL. The way to become a better player is to understand those formats and the required strategies to succeed. Recently, the Rotoballer NFL staff got together to conduct a mock draft for a dynasty startup with Superflex rules. You […]

Late-Round Rookie RBs to Target in Dynasty Drafts

The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and the preparation for your fantasy football league’s upcoming season should be starting now, not in late August. In standard year-to-year fantasy leagues or keeper leagues where you can only hold onto a minimal amount of players, you are not going to find many late-round rookie running backs on […]
