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 […]

PPR Draft Targets - Undervalued Tight Ends

For fantasy football GMs, draft season is gearing up. Preparing for what is waiting for us in our virtual war-rooms is a key part of the process, and the first thing to know is the format of the league we're going to be part of. The difference between Standard and PPR (Point-Per-Reception) scoring systems is […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Fantasy Football Burning Questions for 2020: NFC East

The King’s new series on hot fantasy football topics for the 2020 season focuses on separate divisions in each edition. We will examine some of the biggest burning questions per team as you plan for your upcoming drafts. In this installment, we tackle some significant fantasy issues in the NFC East. There is an interesting […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Early Summer ADP Risers at Running Back

We've already gone over risers 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. […]

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 […]

Why Joe Burrow Will Be a Top-10 Fantasy Quarterback

The prevailing strategy that has taken over fantasy football is to wait on quarterback. Given the depth of the position, many fantasy players are focused on addressing other positions on their roster before selecting their QB1. This strategy allows you to construct a roster filled with depth at wide receiver and running back. If you’re […]

Players Who Could Thrive With An Opportunity Increase

We all know that volume beats everything in fantasy sports. With chances and opportunities, players have the means to rack up points. No matter how good they are, if they're not given targets or carries, it's always going to be impossible for them to get those fantasy goodies attached to their names. But what about […]

Later-Round RBs with Upside and Safer RBs to Avoid

I have a new fantasy football strategy that I will be using this season. My strategy this season is to build a safe base in the early rounds and then target upside players as those are the ones that win championships. This is not simply saying to be reckless at your drafts, but more so […]
