ADP Showdown - Derrick Henry vs Josh Jacobs

Roll Tide. Both of these former Alabama running backs know this chant well. But which one of them do we want to roll with in 2019? Both players are on teams likely to struggle on offense. Both have quarterbacks who struggle with consistency, but both also have coaches who want to run the ball. A […]

Nick Mariano's 2019 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. […]

ADP Showdown - Corey Davis vs Courtland Sutton

Two wide receivers who are considered number ones on their team, but what is this really worth? In the Case of Courtland Sutton, this could change based on the health of Emmanuel Sanders and the talent of Daesean Hamilton. However, in the case of both of the options in this article, a bigger worry is […]

Lamar Miller Gets a Boost? Heck, No!

The news hit as a bit of a stunner on the RotoBaller SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio show with myself and Anthony Aniano Sunday morning. D’Onta Foreman was being waived by the Houston Texans. The immediate reaction was of some disbelief, and maybe some overreaction about the fallout. Ever since he was drafted in 2017, Foreman […]

How to Value 2019 QB/RB Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

Dynasty franchises don't restart, they reload. Rookie drafts are meant to continually infuse youth to rosters and introduce the next generation of fantasy stars. Although this year wasn't rife with immediately impactful players at quarterback or running back, there is still value to be had if you know where to look. It's equally important for […]

How to Value 2019 WR/TE Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

The dynasty world predictably revolves around youth. Often, draft picks are valued more than productive veteran players. For some, this is viewed as a practical way to build for the future. For others, it's just a matter of valuing talent and potential over all else. It's called Shiny New Toy syndrome. Regardless of the reason, […]

Spencer Aguiar's 2019 QB Projections and Rankings

I believe all leagues are different and understanding the rules and settings will always be the deciding factor, but an interesting dichotomy has taken place recently of when it is acceptable to draft your quarterback. I am of the mindset, like most people nowadays, that waiting is better, but are we beginning to reach a […]

Second Chance - Antonio Callaway

We have now advanced into August as our journey through the offseason nears its conclusion.

Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR

Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]

Rookie Dynasty ADP Showdown: Hakeem Butler vs Andy Isabella

A tale of two rookies on the same team. Neither one will have much value this season. But which one should you trust more for the future of your dynasty team? The Draft stock of these two players is quite different. Not only because of where they went, but also how they got there. While […]

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 […]

Why Jared Cook Will Be Overdrafted Everywhere in 2019

Imagine yourself back in Week 7 of the 2017 NFL regular season. In what would turn out to be an offensive battle that had many fantasy owners jumping out of their seats, the Kansas City Chiefs made their way to Oakland Coliseum for a bout with the Raiders on Thursday Night Football to kick off […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Patrick Mahomes vs Baker Mayfield

A couple of big hitters to look at today. Young, talented and to some, brash. Both have supreme confidence but show it in different ways. Patrick Mahomes is coming off one of the greatest seasons of all-time for a player at the quarterback position. 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns is perfection by almost every measure. With […]

ADP Showdown - Evan Engram vs Hunter Henry

We know about the big three tight ends but most of us won't own one of them in every fantasy football league. When it comes to the next tier, Evan Engram and Hunter Henry are among the most popular choices. In our latest ADP Showdown, Pierre Camus and Steve Rebeiro take opposite sides of this […]

Stop Drafting TEs Early - Wait for Delanie Walker or Austin Hooper

There are three tight ends who you should probably draft early: Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle. All three are very good players who have huge roles in their team's offenses, and with the positional scarcity of the tight end position, grabbing those guys early makes a lot of sense. But the position really […]

ADP Showdown - Todd Gurley vs James Conner

Undoubtedly, the running back position will dominate the early rounds of fantasy football drafts this year. Which RB1 you hang your hat on could make or break your season. Last year's regular-season fantasy MVP, Todd Gurley, has been free-falling throughout the preseason based on health concerns. James Conner has had injury problems in the past, […]

ADP Showdown - Odell Beckham vs Antonio Brown

Picture this, it's the beginning of September and you've just started your 2019 fantasy football draft. It's the middle of the second round, and you're looking to target a wide receiver.

A.J. Green's Injury - Fantasy Impact

The collective fantasy football community has let out a groan as news drops that A.J. Green has been sidelined 6-8 weeks due to torn ankle ligaments.

No […]

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year

I like to stay flexible in my fantasy football draft preparations. I have a Plan A, of course, but there are always contingencies for when things inevitably take an unexpected turn on draft day. The one element of my planning process that I tend to stick to no matter what, however, is my preference to […]

ADP Showdown - Leonard Fournette vs Damien Williams

In this ADP showdown, let’s take a look at two running backs on vastly different teams and in two completely different situations. On one hand, we have Leonard Fournette. A back on a Jacksonville Jaguars team who is known more for their defense rather than their offense. A team which has already voided the guaranteed […]

Best-Ball Sleepers - Who to Target Late in MFL10s

The popularity of Best-Ball leagues has skyrocketed in recent seasons. There are several reasons why this format provides appeal to a growing number of fantasy owners. This includes the ability to conclude all roster management for the season once your draft has been completed. But the elimination of all decision-making during the regular season also increases […]

ADP Showdown - Drew Brees vs. Russell Wilson

Many fantasy owners these days employ the strategy of waiting on drafting quarterbacks until the mid to late rounds. With the amount of talent that is available early at running back and wide receiver, it's better to attack those positions. After the top 3-4 QBs are off the board, a case could be made that […]
