Gaining the Trust of a Buffalo - Bills Quarterback Josh Allen
Quoting the Montana Bison Association, “You can gain their trust and friendship, but you have not really changed their basic nature----they will always be wild.” No, I’m not calling Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, an animal. I’m figuratively comparing his allure and NFL skills to the nature of this Bovidae. (And for those that say... Read More

Notable UDFAs to Watch in Dynasty
Last year, no one was talking about Phillip Lindsay even as late as August. With Royce Freeman drafted by the Broncos and dominating a lot of the dynasty rookie draft discussion, Lindsay flew so under the radar that he went undrafted in our staff league's rookie draft. Lindsay went on to rush for 1,000 yards,... Read More

Who to Buy in the 49ers Offense
The 2018 San Francisco 49ers may have been one of the bigger disappointments to fantasy owners. Much was to be expected from Jimmy Garoppolo and this offense led by Kyle Shanahan. All that seemed to come crashing down just three games into the season as Garoppolo lost to a knee injury. The entire offense then... Read More
Rookie Spotlight - Drew Lock
As we often have said on the RotoBaller afternoon show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, mock drafts prior to the NFL Draft are just exercises full of swings and misses.

Rookie Spotlight - Josh Jacobs
After our recent RotoBaller rookie dynasty draft, organizer and lead editor Pierre Camus asked us if we could conceivably select one position to pick from, where would it be? My answer was easy, although it sounded amateurish at first: Give me the first pick. Not because of the pomp and circumstance surrounding it. I want... Read More

Just a Sophomore Slump - Third-Year Players Who Will Rebound in 2019
There were more sophomore successes in the NFL in 2018 than sophomore slumps.

Will Arizona's New Offense Rise Like a Phoenix?
I think that there are times when we fantasy football writers need to own up to our past mistakes.

Rookie Spotlight - D.K. Metcalf
The Seahawks appeared to pull off a very nifty move in the 2019 NFL Draft when they traded up to the 64th pick to nab Mississippi WR D.K. Metcalf.

Rookie Wide Receivers Set to Make a Splash in 2019
The 2019 NFL Draft saw 28 wide receivers find homes with NFL teams. A handful others were added as undrafted free agents.

Teams That Won and Lost the 2019 NFL Draft
If the 2019 NFL Draft took place 10 years ago, with the exact same pool of players to choose from, Kyler Murray would not have been the first overall pick.
