Early 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Targets and Sleepers – Tight Ends

The 2022 fantasy football season flashed right before our eyes. While the 2023 season is several months away, it’s never too early to prepare for next year. Every year, the preseason ADP never looks the same as the end-of-year rankings. However, the tight end position was extremely different last season. Travis Kelce was the preseason […]

Biggest Tight End Surprises of 2022 – Fantasy Football Year In Review

The 2022 fantasy football season is over. However, looking at the past is important. From 2015-2021, an average of 6.6 tight ends per year averaged 10 or more half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Last year, there were only four tight ends to meet that average. More importantly, Travis Kelce was a league winner. The […]

Biggest Quarterback Breakouts of 2022 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

The late-round quarterback strategy in fantasy drafts has become less popular as elite fantasy studs like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes have provided a real advantage at signal-caller for fantasy managers, but in 2022, several top-10 scoring quarterbacks were drafted well outside the QB1 range. While players like Justin Herbert, Tom Brady, Lamar Jackson, Russell […]

Biggest Wide Receiver Breakouts of 2022 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

Fantasy managers usually do a better job evaluating receiver talent and judging potential breakouts for receivers better than they do for other positions. This year was no different. RotoBaller accurately predicted most of the receivers who would ultimately finish in the top 24 WRs. Some receivers changed teams and had explosions in production. Some like […]

Biggest Tight End Breakouts of 2022 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

The tight end position as a whole is always a wasteland of mediocre production, so identifying players in that role who can outperform ADP gives fantasy managers an edge over opponents.
