The countdown to Week 1 is on. At RotoBaller HQ, we have more middle-round targets for fantasy managers to consider selecting for their upcoming drafts. Today, we wrap the series with our middle-round fantasy quarterback (QB) sleepers and draft values for the 2026 season. If you miss out on Josh Allen, Drake Maye, or Lamar […]

Let's start this article with an immediate peek behind the curtain. My must-draft, my guys, league-winners, whatever vernacular you use, have changed again and again. Rough draft after rough draft. And it's not because of indecisiveness. The rash of preseason injuries -- from Emeka Egbuka's toe to Luther Burden III's groin to Tucker Kraft's snap […]

Sure, I like playing fantasy football, but my real favorite pastime is saying that I was right all along. Fantasy preseason is rife with chances to do exactly that, provided you’re willing to take a few calculated risks. During preseason last year, I was particularly high on later-round gems like Harold Fannin Jr. (PPR TE6), […]

Earlier this week, I wrote about wide receivers who stand to benefit this season as a result of roster turnover in the offseason. Now, it's time to look at the tight ends and running backs who could also see an uptick in usage in 2026. We tend to focus on targets and air yards for […]

It's usually pretty easy to find players that you like for the upcoming season and provide all the reasons why fantasy managers should draft those players. But writing about which players to fade can be a bit more challenging. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly some things to like about the players that I'm […]

The process for identifying rebound candidates involves examining players who underperformed or were inefficient. It could be for various reasons, like an injury, the offensive environment, or small samples. These potential rebound candidates fit those molds. When other players rise, some may fall, including ones on their own teams. It can be tricky to figure […]

You can lose your fantasy draft in the first round, but you can't win it. That requires diving outside the top 24 at an individual position and finding hidden gems like Jaxon Smith-Njigba a year ago. Finding the formula is actually quite simple. First, we want target share -- and the higher, the better. Smith-Njigba's […]

We are one step closer to real football with preseason games and training camps in full effect, which means fantasy football is right around the corner … we’ve made it, people. It's finally draft season. With drafts starting, everyone knows which top players will fly off the board early. However, not everyone knows about the […]

As much as I love talking about all my favorite draft-day sleepers and targets, in this article I will be selecting five overvalued wide receivers who fantasy managers should avoid. All these wide receivers are solid talents, but they come with significant risk at average draft position (ADP). Sometimes it's the offensive environment, the quarterback, […]

Few players can earn the title of "league-winner" in fantasy football, but that select group will be the ones to crown royalty. Sometimes it boils down to investing in a scary health situation, pulling up a key rookie, or reading into a new offensive environment (coaching, talent, scheduling, etc.) that others haven't adjusted enough for. […]

Late-round running backs aren’t fillers. They’re calculated shots at players who have a realistic path to becoming 200-, 250-, or even 300-touch contributors, with the best late-round targets often checking more than one box. When evaluating backup running backs, I’m looking for four specific categories that create that path: the 1B/standalone value back, the ambiguous […]

You have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Some rookie receivers hit right away, and some fantasy managers must learn how to be patient as new opportunities become available as the league calendar flips from one month to another. It’s easy to go on a limb and say Carnell […]

We're just about in the midst of prime fantasy football draft season. The 2026 NFL season is coming up quickly, and in less than two weeks, we'll finally see our first regular-season pro football action. While the ADPs and draft rankings of players are always changing, they're getting pretty close to what they'll be just […]

The 2026 NFL season is just weeks away as fantasy managers gear up for their championship season. In fantasy, the draft is the single most important factor separating playoff teams from non-playoff teams, so in order to compete, you have to draft well. Hitting your early-round picks is crucial, but managers can make up for […]

Hey RotoBallers! The kicker position is often the most frustrating position in fantasy. While it may seem ideal to invest in a kicker who plays on a top offense, investing a rather "high" pick in this position may end up preventing you from finding some much-needed depth at your FLEX positions. In this piece, we […]

The Green Bay Packers running back room has been hit with major news ahead of the start of the 2026 season. On Sunday, Josh Jacobs, the team's No. 1 running back, was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, which will make him ineligible to play or practice for the time being. As a result, the […]

Everyone is looking for the next great rookie to carry them to victory in fantasy football leagues. Unfortunately, the odds of a rookie player taking some time to adjust and failing to hit the ground running in year one are much, much higher. Situations matter the most for a rookie player. If a player has […]

Breakouts win fantasy football leagues. A couple of middle-round picks who perform like top options or later-round picks who become every-week starters transform teams and seasons. In other sports, you may shoot to build a safe, deep team. In football, the lineup is smaller, and the scoring is more big-play reliant. Hitting on one of […]
