Running Backs to Target in Best Ball Drafts

2025 Fantasy Football & NFL Rookies
Fantasy football articles about NFL rookies. First year players to make impacts in fantasy football leagues.

Denzel Mims - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

In an extremely deep rookie wide receiver class, one name that seemed to consistently fly under the radar was Baylor's Denzel Mims. A three-year starter for the Bears, Mims put up strong numbers during his college career, but his name wasn't mentioned among the best of the best in the 2020 draft class but instead […]

IDP Linebackers - NFL Rookies to Watch in 2020

Here at RotoBaller, we recently released our IDP Top 120 consensus preseason rankings. We aim to provide top-notch coverage for fantasy leagues of all types and fantasy football IDP leagues (individual defensive players) are no exception. Seasoned IDP vets know the top names already and likely know the type of players to target on draft day. But […]


A.J. Dillon - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Packers defied expectations (and logic) by selecting players other than wide receivers in this past NFL Draft. This includes a running back in the second round, A.J. Dillon out of Boston College. There were plenty of backs taken in the draft who are expected to take on a large role out of the gate. Dillon […]


Assessing Dynasty Value in FFPC Startups

This is the time for dynasty leagues to plan rookie drafts and make preparations for another competitive season. But what if you're new to the dynasty world or deciding whether to dip your toe in the pool? First, you should read about Joe Nicely's experience jumping head first into a dynasty league with the sharks […]


Updated Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Post-NFL Draft Risers and Fallers

As the calendar begins to lean towards the summer, that tells fantasy owners to ramp up their preparations for the upcoming season. But what is on tap first for many is the rookie draft. We've been through the scouting combine, the NFL Draft has come and gone, and we know where these rookies will be […]


Justin Herbert - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

As fantasy football players and NFL fans, every year we get excited about the NFL draft. It is a time of hope where a franchise's luck can change for the better or for the worst. This rings especially true for the teams that decide to select a quarterback. The starting quarterback of an NFL team […]


Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

Before the 2019 football season began, a common refrain among fans of losing NFL franchises became "Tank for Tua!" The growing legend of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at perennial championship game participant Alabama had cemented him as the top prospect in the nation. The idea of piling on losses to grab a potential franchise-changing quarterback is […]


Clyde Edwards-Helaire - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

Prior to the 2020 NFL Draft, most analysts and fantasy football fans were dying to see if the Kansas City Chiefs would take a running back. In a class with plenty of talent and depth, I wasn't expecting Clyde Edwards-Helaire to go as high as he did. Sure enough, the Chiefs and Andy Reid saw […]


Diary of a Dynasty League Rookie: My Draft Experience

Some of you probably know that I write about NFL DFS here at RotoBaller. What you might not know is that I’ve never played in a dynasty football league. I know, crazy right? I’ve spent years playing in a regular fantasy league with the same small group of friends and we all agree that our […]


Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The enormous level of excitement that surrounds members of each rookie class has become an annual occurrence for the fantasy community. The frenzy for this season’s newcomers has intensified as Dynasty and Best-Ball owners now have the opportunity to select these players for their rosters, while others can prepare for their chance to seize them […]


Bryan Edwards - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The enormous level of excitement that exists surrounding members of each year's rookie class has become an annual occurrence for the fantasy community. This frenzy for first-year players also intensifies as each NFL Draft approaches, then continues through the draft process. This enthusiasm rises even higher as owners anticipate the opportunity to secure these rookies for their […]


Rookie Running Backs in the Best Fantasy Situations

Now that the NFL Draft is over, it's time to parse through the selections and see what it means for our all-important fantasy seasons. Despite this year's NFL Draft having one of the deepest wide receiver classes in recent memory, the running backs have been generating a lot of fantasy excitement in recent weeks, so […]


2020 Rookie Drafts - Where Does the Value Lie?

With the 2020 NFL Draft in the books, dynasty rookie rankings are finally starting to come together. A consensus rookie ADP is beginning to develop as more analysts and fantasy football fans have their dynasty rookie drafts. For the most part, you'll see the top rookie running backs leading the way with landing spots for […]


Most Improved Offenses After the NFL Draft

The NFL Draft revamped some offenses overnight. With a bevy of stud receivers on the market, many teams took advantage and bolstered their passing attacks. In addition, key QBs, RBs, and TEs were taken to plug in some holes on the depth chart for many teams. Some offenses that were previously avoidable in fantasy football […]


Cam Akers - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

Running back continues to be the position of highest demand in fantasy football, which is no surprise. In most leagues, you must start two of them and can also start a third at a flex position. In the RotoBaller Top 100 consensus staff rankings, 15 of the first 30 recommended players are running backs. In […]


Jalen Reagor - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Philadelphia Eagles made Jalen Reagor the fourth wide receiver selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. While there was very little consensus regarding the top receivers in this class, most analysts had Reagor somewhere in or near their top five before the combine and firmly in their top eight or so post-combine. Reagor was probably […]


Rookie Tight Ends in the Best Fantasy Situations

Now that the 2020 NFL Draft has passed, it’s time to look at the fantasy outlooks for many newly-drafted players. Tight end has always been a tough position to value in fantasy football, especially after the top five are picked. Tight ends usually take a year or two to develop any relevance. Many rookie tight […]

Talent Wasted: Rookies in Bad Landing Spots for Redraft

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, CeeDee Lamb, D'Andre Swift, Jerry Jeudy. We will not be talking about these players here. Those players can be contributors no matter the situation due to talent. Instead, we will focus on the rookies who landed in bad situations for fantasy football and may not be able to recover. Of course, things can […]


UDFA Running Backs To Watch In Dynasty

It seems like there's always some undrafted running back who breaks through and carves out a key role on an NFL team each year. While the 2019 Draft didn't really have a player who fits this description, 2018 had Phillip Lindsay and Gus Edwards and 2017 had Austin Ekeler and Matt Breida. Going further back, […]


UDFA Pass Catchers To Watch In Dynasty

One place where fantasy value can be found is in the large crop of players who sign as undrafted free agents. Often, very talented players don't hear their names called during the draft, but they'll latch on somewhere and carve out a role. Adam Thielen was an UDFA. So were Robby Anderson, Preston Williams, Tyrell […]


Rookie Running Backs Destined for Committees

Let's talk about everyone's favorite term when it comes to fantasy football: running back committees. I know committees get a bad rep, but the future of the NFL is running back committees. More and more teams have realized the path to NFL success is to use a one-two punch at running back instead of handing […]
