Free Agent Wide Receivers Who May Surprise in 2018

Fantasy football owners know that changing teams usually changes a player’s fantasy value, and many times for the better. NFL general managers have been paying free-agent wide receivers more millions this offseason than the producers of Big Bang Theory pay its stars. It seems all you need is a 100 career receptions on your résumé […]

#TrendingNow - Dynasty Free Agent Risers and Fallers

The rush of free agency is now behind us and we are full steam ahead to the draft. There are still a few players hanging out there, hoping to land somewhere soon, but the majority of free agents have been wrapped up and we now know where a majority of their value will be in […]

Brandin Cooks Heads to the L.A. Rams - Fantasy Spin

The Patriots shocked many earlier this week by shipping Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams. The Patriots acquired Cooks from New Orleans for a first round pick in 2017, and shipped him out for a similar price just one season later, essentially making him a rental. The resulting domino effect will have a great […]

MFL10 Late-Round ADP Values and Sleepers

Just a Sophomore Slump - Players Entering Their Third Season Who Will Rebound in 2018

There are always players expected to break out in their second seasons who don't, for whatever reason. Sometimes they continue their slide toward irrelevance and, other times, they come back and perform well in their third NFL seasons. I've looked back at the 2016 rookie class to find three players who haven't performed up to […]

Who Deserves Blame For Dez Bryant's Disastrous 2017?

On February 28, 2018, I came across a tweet from @BenRogers linking this video of all of Dez Bryant’s 2017 incompletions. The accompanying conclusion was that after watching the video, the majority of the incompletions were not Dez’s fault. I decided to do my own investigation. Here are my observations and conclusions. *Note: There were […]

Sammy Watkins to the Chiefs – Fantasy Spin

Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce have a new running mate in their receiving ring, and this guy has the talent to be the best of the bunch…or an Achilles heel that could make him the biggest fantasy flop of the threesome. The Kansas City Chiefs upgraded their pass-catching corps by signing speedster Sammy Watkins to […]

Was Drafting Alvin Kamara Good Process or Just Lucky?

The 2017 regular season featured several rookie running backs making immediate fantasy-relevant impacts on the teams that drafted them. Four rookie RB recorded top-15 finishes in standard scoring and top-10 finishes in PPR formats, making it clear that this season was one for rushers to challenge the previous fantasy narrative favoring the rise of the wide […]

Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel to Bears - Fantasy Spin

With the frenzy surrounding the NFL's free agency period, the Bears made some big signings to boost the skill position group most suited to helping second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Their two biggest signings thus far have been wide receivers Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel. Robinson comes in with a three-year $42 million contract while Gabriel […]

Under the Radar RB Signings - Fantasy Risers or Fallers?

A flurry of activity in the past week has sent fantasy football owners and sports Twitter into a frenzy. Some huge names changed teams and the domino effect will affect dozens of players league-wide. Then again, not every signing has to create a seismic shift in the fantasy universe. There were a number of under the […]

What's Going On With the Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Position?

Before free agency, I wrote up a piece on Leonte Carroo and Jakeem Grant and which one would take advantage of the hole left by the trading of Jarvis Landry. That piece is, uhh, going to have to go through some major changes. Free agency and the Dolphins signing two guys to replace Jarvis Landry […]

Kirk Cousins to the Vikings - Fantasy Spin

Kirk Cousins officially became the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings when he signed a historic, ground-breaking, three-year, $84 million contract that is fully guaranteed. It was the first fully guaranteed contract in the history of the NFL. The Vikings got their man and Cousins got paid. But how will the signing affect his fantasy […]

Early Dynasty Startup Mock Draft - Rounds 5 and 6

RotoBaller's dynasty football staff got together recently to perform a mock draft before the NFL draft in order to get an idea of where player values lie. We continue with our early dynasty mock draft series into rounds five and six with an overview of each team's roster near the midpoint of the draft. If […]

Carlos Hyde to the Browns - Fantasy Spin

The Cleveland Browns have been the most active franchise thus far in the free agency period, and that continued on Wednesday when they signed former San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde to a three-year, 15 million-dollar contract. Hyde, a second-round draft pick in 2014, will fill the void left by the departure of starting […]

Case Keenum to the Broncos - Fantasy Spin

Despite leading the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC Championship game, Case Keenum was unceremoniously replaced with the huge free agent signing of Kirk Cousins. Keenum immediately found a new home with the Denver Broncos on a two-year deal worth $36 million. Obviously this is a massive upgrade for all Denver fantasy options, so we can […]

Jimmy Graham to the Packers - Fantasy Spin

I have a lot of feelings about former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham moving to the Green Bay Packers and the cumulative effect of all these feelings is essentially just me sitting in a chair at a coffee shop with my hands above my shoulders because Graham's fit with the Packers is so tough to judge. […]

RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Rounds 4-6

First-Hand NFL Combine Observations

The NFL Combine is a great experience for potential draft picks. It's an opportunity for players to show off their athleticism and help reinforce some of the attributes scouts see on tape. It is also an opportunity for everyone to second guess them because a 40 time was .5 seconds too slow or because a […]

RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Rounds 2-3

It's been a minute (figuratively speaking) since we started this mock draft, and many moves have been made on the free agent market over the last couple of weeks. Then there's the Cleveland Browns, who threw everything into chaos on one March day. With the NFL Draft still weeks away and many cuts, signings, and […]

RB Target Leaders - Finding PPR Value with your RB2/Flex

The running back position remains firmly entrenched at the pinnacle of importance within our fantasy landscape, and one of the contributing factors has been the increased usage of backs as receiving weapons. Last season, 14 different backs collected over 50 receptions, while eight caught 60+. This represented a notable rise from 2016, when 11 runners […]

Trusting Rookie Wide Receivers in Redraft Leagues

If I had to list one mistake most commonly made by fantasy owners on draft day, it would be recency bias. We've seen it time and time again - owners overreacting to what happened the previous year even when it was so clearly an outlier. The QB boom of 2011. The rookie WR boom of 2014. […]

Early Dynasty Startup Mock Draft - Rounds 3 and 4

Is It Time to Sell-High on Juju Smith-Schuster?

Jarvis Landry and Tyrod Taylor Move to Cleveland - Fantasy Spin
