2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Riser: Amon-Ra St. Brown

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has emerged as a fantasy football stud after just two seasons in the NFL, but his rise to excellence didn't come without plenty of doubters. The 5'11", 200-pound wideout from USC wasn't a standout athlete at the 2021 NFL combine. Despite a solid career of production for the […]

2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Riser: Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had dynasty fantasy football intrigue as soon as he was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. At the time of his selection though, Carson Wentz was viewed as the franchise quarterback for the Eagles. When Hurts took over for Wentz in 2020 and then started a […]

Early Quarterback Breakouts for 2023 Fantasy Football

In the past couple of years, the fantasy football landscape has changed how it has approached the quarterback position. Much of that has been forced upon us by the excellence and sheer dominance exhibited by Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. The value of signal callers in fantasy football has never been higher. The NFL continues […]

2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Faller: D'Andre Swift

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been a fascinating fantasy asset through his first three NFL seasons, but he's becoming more frustrating than fascinating as he approaches his age-24 season. Swift has been efficient and explosive as a rusher and receiver, but injury woes, workload discrepancies, and lack of red zone/goal line work have […]

2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Riser: Justin Fields

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields was drafted behind Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft, but after a breakout 2022 fantasy campaign, he's arguably more valuable than any signal-caller in his draft class. Fields flashed tremendous upside in his two seasons as the Ohio State Buckeyes QB on the collegiate […]

Early Wide Receiver Breakouts For 2023 Fantasy Football

The workhorse running back, the bell-cow running back, whatever terminology you want to use to describe the likes of Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott, they’re dying. The workhorse running back is endangered and bordering on extinction. In 2000, there were 19 running backs who totaled 300 touches. In 2010, that number dropped to 12. Last […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty League Early Look - Top Five QBs Of The 2023 NFL Draft Class

The NFL Combine is in the books and free agency is in full swing. That means the 2023 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and dynasty fantasy managers should prepare now for upcoming rookie drafts.

2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Faller: Russell Wilson

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson had his worst season in the NFL in 2022. After a blockbuster trade that featured quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, and defensive tackle Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and a fifth-round pick being sent back to Seattle, it was a surprisingly disastrous reason for the […]

2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Riser: Trevor Lawrence

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft for a reason -- he was viewed as a generational prospect with comparisons to Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. However, he was viewed as pro-ready, so after a poor rookie season, a little bit of doubt began to creep in […]

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 Wide Receiver Busts of 2022 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

The wide receiver position is always the deepest in fantasy football, but there are always landmines in preseason drafts that can prove to be costly at the season's end. Whether a wideout had poor quarterback play compared to preseason expectations or saw a sharp decline as they aged another year, there were plenty of underwhelming […]

Biggest Running Back Busts of 2022 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

Fantasy football can be a fickle beast. Dedicated fantasy managers can spend hours, days, and even weeks preparing, scouting, and mock drafting...all in the hopes that we land that perfect player at the ever-important running back position. Sometimes, despite all those long hours of studying and research, things just don't work out. Whether it is […]

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

All fantasy managers who constructed rosters during the 2022 regular season were required to maintain enormous flexibility while navigating the unwelcome challenges that occurred through injuries, fluctuations in opportunities, and other unplanned developments.

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 […]

Early 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Targets and Sleepers – Wide Receivers

It is always critical for you to remain flexible in your decision-making throughout the entire fantasy football draft process even though that recommendation should not deter you from developing a plan before you begin each draft. Knowledgeable fantasy managers are already aware that the decisions that are made during every round remain important, which underscores […]

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. While tight end breakouts often aren't nuclear and league-winning, they can provide a boost to fantasy teams in search of a championship. The difference […]
