If you missed it, we've already reviewed running back and wide receiver ADP comps to find better bargains in the middle rounds. Now, we move on to the non-glamour position of tight end, which is still crucial to any fantasy football squad. While ADP is very informative and can help you get informed about where […]

Sleeping Giants: Why Daniel Jones and His Receivers Are Undervalued

The key to securing a fantasy football championship is to identify undervalued players before they become popular sleepers and shoot up draft boards. We also want to target offenses that are forced into shootouts due to porous defenses. The team that fits these criteria for 2020 is none other than the New York Giants. The […]

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, […]

ADP Arbitrage - Running Back Draft Bargains

Did your parents ever ask you, "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, does that mean you would too?" Well, that is how fantasy football mostly works when it comes to drafting your team yearly. There is something called ADP (Average Draft Position) that is nothing more than just an aggregated mark that lets […]

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 […]

Veteran Tight End Winners from the NFL Draft

The 2020 rookie tight end class is probably one of the less-renowned tight end classes in years, but that didn't stop a lot of teams from taking tight ends on Day 3, some of whom could be set to challenge for a role now or in the near future. But not every team took a […]

Pittsburgh Steelers 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

The Pittsburgh Steelers saw Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell leave before the 2019 season, which meant they needed to instill a new identity in its offense. Instead, 2019 saw the offense struggle due to numerous injuries. While there is hope that many of the younger players on this roster can fill the holes Brown and […]

UDFA Quarterbacks to Watch in Dynasty

Quarterback is the most important offensive position on a football field. Your quarterback's strengths and weaknesses are the starting point for your entire offensive's strengths and weaknesses. For this reason, it's a position that teams invest heavily in during the NFL Draft, with quarterback-needy teams often spending first round picks on players who might not […]

NFL Draft Winners - Dynasty Edition

The 2020 NFL Draft has come and gone, and a whole bunch of new players are on a whole bunch of new teams. That changes the calculus of a lot of things around the league. And while it can be pretty easy to identify short term fantasy winners, sometimes you can miss the forest for […]

Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers

The NFL's virtual draft started on Thursday, and while there were some differences -- the virtual boos, the huge number of Zoom screens we saw, the mouths not matching up exactly with all of the words -- it was mostly just a normal NFL draft, with teams making picks and trades and analysts breaking things […]

Early 2020 Sleepers: Wide Receiver

The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: RB Return On Investment

When it comes to Return on Investment (ROI), I keep things as simple as I can. I just take a player's ADP entering the season and divide it by his season-end final ranking among all players in the league. That's because every player is available in drafts and therefore every player should be taken into […]

Running Backs to Stash in Dynasty Pre-Draft

The NFL Draft is traditionally viewed as a time when end-of-bench guys lose value because their teams draft new players to replace them. But 32 NFL teams aren't drafting running backs during this draft, which means that there's value to be found among players who are currently in the league. This is a good time […]

Dynasty Sleepers Heading Into 2020

With redraft leagues, your fantasy eason ends when the regular season ends. With dynasty leagues, the season never ends. Now is the time of the year that everyone is preparing to analyze rookies, and we need to start looking ahead to next year. Your waivers are likely constantly running, so you need to be looking […]

Early 2020 Breakouts: Wide Receiver

What was once the frenetic pace of free agency has now slowed significantly. But the player movement that took place has transformed the fantasy landscape. It has also blended with the impending NFL Draft to impact the decision-making process of owners, regardless of which formats you are involved with. That’s why the team at RotoBaller is delivering […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: TE Return On Investment

No matter which type of person you are. No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into. No matter what, you're looking for market inefficiencies. Why pay extra for something that ultimately will yield the same results? The question you might be asking yourself, though, is the one regarding how and where to find […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: WR Return On Investment

No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into, you're looking for market inefficiencies as we all are. Why pay an extra-high price for something that ultimately will yield the same results as something similarly good going at a steep discount? That question has no reasonable answer. The question you might be asking […]

Using VOA To Draft Fantasy Football Bargains

If you're a loyal RotoBaller reader, you know we strive to give you the edge no matter the fantasy sport you happen to be playing. Just a few weeks ago I took another step and introduced three metrics for fantasy football: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea […]

Early Fantasy Football Best-Ball Sleepers for 2020

When you start getting to the later rounds of your Best-Ball drafts in fantasy football, there are a few types of players you should look for. There is more than one way to get bonus output from your final picks. You should look to hit a few home runs from deep in the draft. Upside […]

Early 2020 Breakout Candidates - Tight End    

Tight end may be the hardest position to draft in fantasy football if you have multiple spots at that position in your league. Because of how limited the explosive fantasy options are for that position, you may be put in a tight spot if you are in a larger league. Luckily, there may be some […]

Early 2020 Sleepers - Running Backs

The top players at the running back position are well known. They are tried and true and never fail to live up to the billing. Unless you think players like LeVeon Bell, Todd Gurley II, David Johnson, and Melvin Gordon III disappointed last season. Oh, they did? Well then. Maybe you should be happy there […]

Free Agency Winners - Wide Receiver Risers

The doldrums of the offseason have been erased by a surge of news and events that transcend sports. The state of affairs around the globe has altered our usual sports-viewing habits. But as we adapt to an evolving daily existence with severely reduced sports activity, NFL free agency has been a welcome reprieve. Free agency […]

XFL Recap: Which Players Might Find Their Way To The NFL?

As I'm sure you've heard, the XFL's first season is officially over due to COVID-19. The league plans to play in 2021, but players have reportedly been given permission to sign NFL contracts, so it's safe to assume at least some of the league's best players will wind up in the NFL this Fall. Let's […]

Early 2020 Breakout Candidates: Quarterback

It’s never too early to start planning your strategy for success in fantasy football. Whatever drives you to win, whether it’s cash, pride, bragging rights, or simply not having to do the league loser punishment, it’s justified if you are making every effort to try and take the league. The thing that keeps fantasy football […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies at Quarterback

No matter which type of person you are. No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into. No matter what, you're looking for market inefficiencies as we all are.

James White Proves the Value of Low-Volume, Highly-Productive Backs

I was reviewing the 2019 fantasy season results yesterday when I stumbled upon something that caught my attention. I filtered all of the players to log a game this past year by position, looked at running backs, and discovered that James White was the only RB inside the top-25 scorers at the position to have […]
