Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 9-16
We've already run through the early rounds in Part 1 to find potential league winners in 2020 fantasy football drafts. Now, we move to the latter half of the draft. The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a... Read More

RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition
Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at... Read More

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2020
Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team in our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limiting the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense rather... Read More
Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP
Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are... Read More
Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers
It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge... Read More
One Year Away: Players to Stash in Dynasty for Next Season
The 2020 NFL season is going to be a weird one because of COVID-19. With fewer offseason activities and fewer preseason games, teams will rely on veteran talent more than usual, pushing young players down the depth charts. One thing that means for dynasty managers is that if you're in win-now mode, you have less... Read More
What to Expect from Washington's Backfield in 2020
The running back position in fantasy football is historically shallow. You traditionally have your five no-brainer top running backs worthy of a first-round pick, and another 10 or so guys deserving of a top-45 pick thanks to their situation/talent/history. After that, you have a lot of gray area. That gray area is where fantasy football... Read More

CeeDee Lamb Will End 2020 as the Cowboys' WR1
While the Cowboys may not have expected CeeDee Lamb, the talented Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver, to fall to them at 18th overall in the 2020 Draft, they made the correct choice in selecting him rather than reaching for a position of need like a cornerback. Lamb's fall in the draft from a potential top-10 selection... Read More
Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8
The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian... Read More
Old Faces, New Places: Free Agent Risers
There is no way to describe the average NFL front office. Each franchise has its own set of rules, follows different parameters when evaluating players, and builds its roster in a very particular way. Even with a clear mindset, an organization's principles might be tweaked in order to accommodate players into the salary cap, for... Read More
Who Replaces Deebo Samuel in the 49ers Offense?
In the midst of a quiet portion of the early NFL offseason, the defending NFC champs were dealt a blow to their chances of returning to the big game. During a workout with teammates on June 18, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel injured his foot. As it turns out, Samuel suffered a broken... Read More
Later-Round TEs with Upside and Safer TEs to Avoid
This season I will be implementing a new fantasy football strategy. If you have been keeping up with this series, you know that by now! But for those who haven’t, I can give you a quick recap! My strategy is to build a safe base in the early rounds and then target pure upside players.... Read More
RB Handcuffs to Target: NFC Edition
Imagine the feeling of using your early start-up draft pick on a bell-cow running back. He is a lock to get a majority of your team’s carries. He is going to be a major factor in the receiving game. Heck, he may just mess around and lead the league in rushing touchdowns because he is... Read More
Early Summer ADP Fallers at Running Back
We continue looking at ADP risers and fallers as we've done throughout the early portion of the summer with the running back position. We've already gone over risers and fallers at wide receiver, tight end, and quarterback. Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You... Read More
Later-Round WRs with Upside and Safer WRs to Avoid
If you've read my recent articles or watched the RotoBaller Youtube channel, you already know my new draft strategy for 2020. My plan is to get a safe base in the early rounds and then strictly target players that have upside. The reason is twofold: if those upside fliers don’t work out, I can drop... Read More
Best-Ball Tight Ends: Finding Sleepers with "12" Personnel
You have to draft at least two players at each position -- yes, even defense and (blech) kicker -- to cover your best-ball roster because you can't make in-season moves. I'm not one to draft two tight ends in most typical leagues, but I will in TE-bonus setups like FFPC contests, the Scott Fish Bowl, and... Read More

Early Summer ADP Risers at Tight End
Ah, our old friend, ADP. Average Draft Position indicates the mean position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player in your team. A high ADP (that is, actually, a low-numbered ADP) means that a... Read More
