Sure, I like playing fantasy football, but my real favorite pastime is saying that I was right all along. Fantasy preseason is rife with chances to do exactly that, provided you’re willing to take a few calculated risks. During preseason last year, I was particularly high on later-round gems like Harold Fannin Jr. (PPR TE6), […]

We are now days away from the fantasy football season kicking off. The NFL Combine, draft, and Hall of Fame Game are now things of the past. With draft season in full force, it’s time to identify players that offer the best return on your investment. Fantasy Championships aren’t won by players selected in the […]

Few players can earn the title of "league-winner" in fantasy football, but that select group will be the ones to crown royalty. Sometimes it boils down to investing in a scary health situation, pulling up a key rookie, or reading into a new offensive environment (coaching, talent, scheduling, etc.) that others haven't adjusted enough for. […]

You have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Some rookie receivers hit right away, and some fantasy managers must learn how to be patient as new opportunities become available as the league calendar flips from one month to another. It’s easy to go on a limb and say Carnell […]

Even though it's always nice to have a bell-cow running back who dominates touches, you don't want to miss out on alpha wide receivers, either. These are pass-catchers who can dominate target share, giving you an ideal combination of weekly floor and ceiling. In this column, I'll choose six alpha wide receivers to target for […]

The steady advance toward the NFL regular season has accelerated as training camps and preseason matchups are now underway. Long-awaited positional battles are also ongoing, as you incorporate a continual flow of information and on-field performances into the planning process for your upcoming drafts. The depth charts for all 32 teams will now undergo varying […]

With rookie tight ends making a name for themselves and veteran tight ends proving to be productive members of our fantasy football society, the tight end position has never been deeper than it is today. However, every year there is a tight end or two who far surpasses expectations and their ADP. It is perfectly […]

Training camp's begun and there's definitely electricity in the air. Can you feel it? We're just a few weeks away from NFL football that counts -- and the start of the best fantasy game on the planet. Are you jacked up or what? Lock in. Back by popular demand, we're running back our RotoBaller Build-A-Breakout […]

I drafted this article with the intention of highlighting 49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling, but after the team's first preseason game, he might not be a "sleeper" any longer. This article is meant to help you identify players that are being slept on by the fantasy football community at large. These guys are forgotten. I'm here […]

If you're reading this, you are probably looking for actionable information you can use to make tough draft-day decisions at the running back position. Every year, I try to steer my analysis toward the data I focus on most when making those decisions myself. And I am not sure there are two more important data […]

The biggest edge in fantasy football is uncovering undervalued players with the greatest opportunities. This article will focus on the running back position; guys being drafted outside the top 24. For one reason or another, these five players are going later in fantasy drafts than they should be. That presents an opportunity for you, the […]

Hey RotoBallers! Training camp is in full swing, and the Hall of Fame game is just around the corner, which means it's time to talk league-winners. The phrase "league-winners" has various meanings, as it could be striking gold on a breakout or finding a discounted veteran in the later rounds. Last season, we saw a […]

Even the players atop the consensus fantasy football rankings carry concerns, from durability issues to weak supporting casts. That's especially true once the draft reaches the middle rounds. The lower-risk stars have already been selected. It's then time to weigh upside against imperfections. In this series of articles, we'll weigh the pros and cons of […]

Mid-round wide receivers are the backbone of many great fantasy football teams. Yes, they won't get as many points as your superstar RB or the WR1 you drafted in the first round, but fantasy leagues are often won and lost because of depth. If you draft a WR, RB, and QB in the first three […]

Every year, there are a handful of fantasy football players who put up video game numbers. At times each season, it feels like if you do not have one of those players, you are not going to win. Everyone is chasing those players who can truly lap the competition at their position, like what Trey […]

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Every NFL team has now reported to training camp, and the pads are coming on. As such, we're almost in the thick of fantasy football draft season. Who should you draft? Who should you avoid? Those are the biggest questions most drafters have heading into their fantasy […]

We often think of late-round picks who smash ADP as league winners in fantasy football. While those late-round hammers are great, it's also important to nail your early round picks. Those can be league winners as well. Just think about Puka Nacua last year. That's what we're focusing on in my league winners column: early […]

Summer is in full swing. Hopefully you’re making the most of it and have enjoyed a few trips and grilled a few hot dogs along the way. As summer moves along, that means NFL training camps and preseason games are now just a few weeks away. It also means fantasy football drafts will be here […]
