We're just a few weeks away from regular-season NFL action, which means fantasy season is officially here! Superflex leagues have continued to gain popularity due to the premium put on the quarterback position, and if you're set to take part in a SF draft soon, we're here to help you crush your selections. Below, check […]

Anyone can make a prediction, but few have the intestinal fortitude to put themselves out there and get a little crazy in doing so. It’s hard to win fantasy football championships without taking some risks; mild takes need not apply. It’s time to turn the heat up with some bold predictions. Always expect the unexpected. […]

At RotoBaller, we continue to develop our tools and […]

There is always some value to find at the running back position in the middle rounds. Whether you are looking for a high-upside running back or a serviceable RB2 after the first few rounds, there are always running backs who emerge as sleepers. Last year, Javonte Williams, Jaylen Warren, Quinshon Judkins, and Travis Etienne Jr. […]

Fantasy football is easy when you draft the right players, right? Of course, especially in the first few rounds of your drafts. These 3-4 players lay the foundation for your team's success. However, not all players in those first few rounds are "good" picks. As I always say, it's not that these players are bad; […]

It's an exciting time for football as we are in the heart of the fantasy football draft season. Week 1 is a few weeks away. With training camp news and injuries, RotoBaller HQ constantly updates our rankings. Today, we focus on our updated top 400 half-PPR fantasy football rankings for 2026 to account for the […]

Targeting rookie wide receivers can provide your fantasy team with a high-upside lottery ticket. Over the past few seasons, many high-end rookie wideouts have quickly made an impact in the league and become league-winners like Brian Thomas Jr. in 2024 and even Emeka Egbuka for the first half of the 2025 season. However, in this […]

Deciding between two wide receivers with similar outlooks and fantasy point projections is often one of the toughest start-sit calls every week, and with all 32 teams in action in Week 1, there is no shortage of options to choose from. We're here to help with our updated Week 1 fantasy football wide receiver rankings […]

We're in the late stages of August, and as always, that means fantasy football draft season is in full swing. As injuries and role-change reports continue to roll in, we are constantly updating our rankings to keep fantasy managers up to date at the time of their drafts. If you're set to take part in […]

We're now done with the third week of preseason, and the regular season is getting even closer. Some teams, such as the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders, haven't named their starting quarterback yet, but it feels like there aren't as many QB1 battles as usual this year. This means that the backup QB landscape […]

There has been a lot of debate about whether fantasy football leagues should utilize the kicker position. Traditional leagues tend to use the position, while recent league setups replace it with either a FLEX or Superflex. At RotoBaller HQ, we know many fantasy leagues still use kickers and have updated our kicker fantasy football rankings […]

This year's rookie running back class was, unfortunately, not anywhere close to that of 2025 in terms of talent. But that doesn't mean that none of them could be productive for fantasy football this season. Though they are very much the exception rather than the rule, late-round picks at any position can surprise and be […]

Unlike this year's rookie running back class, the group of WRs coming out of college and into the NFL is quite interesting, even in redraft fantasy football. Three prospects were rated higher than the rest, and all were selected in the first round. A fourth WR was selected in the first round as well. We'll […]

If you have played fantasy football long enough, you know spike weeks from defenses can win or lose matchups, and ignoring the position can be a critical mistake. We're here to help with our defense fantasy football draft rankings for 2026. In the complete team defense rankings below, see where the Houston Texans, Los Angeles […]

As a data-focused person, my bold predictions might be more medium spice than five-star picks. That said, these bold predictions for the 2026 fantasy football season have low-to-medium hit rates. For some of these players, there will be targets and avoids based on price and going against the grain.  Fantasy football is a game of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

It's almost fantasy football time, but we know some of you have already completed your preseason drafts! You're probably already in the process of watching the waiver wire for potential hidden gems, so we're here to assist!

Welcome back to our annual middle-round fantasy football running back (RB) sleepers and draft values for the 2026 season. We take a look at some potential running backs who could smash value at their current ADP in the middle rounds of upcoming fantasy football drafts.

Who doesn't love a confident "this is my dude" kind of statement? Every year, there are a handful of players everyone just happens to fall in love with, and what's beautiful about this made-up game is how many different opinions are out there. This article is all about puffing your chest out, digging your heels […]

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, […]

Defenses and special teams (D/ST) can help win weeks. Though we sometimes focus on offense, identifying potential sleepers on defense can provide spike weeks, helping fantasy managers win leagues. In redraft leagues, the playoffs matter, but we need to reach that point. One way to increase our odds of reaching the fantasy football playoffs is […]

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 […]

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. […]

Draft season is upon us, and running back is arguably the most important position you have to nail down. You can always get a high-value QB in late rounds, and overstock on WRs in the middle rounds, but for running backs, you absolutely have to draft a top-tier starter and a couple of competent backups. […]
