At this point of the preseason, fantasy football dynasty players start to get antsy and anxious, as many rookie drafts are already done. The itch for activity leads some dynasty leaguers to pursue trades aggressively, and all dynasty participants are always looking to improve their teams. Of course, dynasty players are always shopping for younger […]

Every year, fantasy managers face the same dilemma during draft season. Do I splurge on flashy, big-name stars, or do I wait for a potential high-performing value pick that could deliver similar production at a fraction of the cost? There are a handful of players who share a similar range of fantasy outcomes and playstyle, […]

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), […]

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 […]

This article highlights five of the top rookie targets for the 2026 fantasy football season. These players stand out because of their talent, opportunity, and late-season upside, but they are not the only rookies worth drafting. Rookies can change fantasy seasons. In dynasty leagues, they are the most important selections of every rookie draft. In... […]

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 […]

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 […]

There are so many factors that go into what makes a player a good or bad selection at ADP. One underrated factor in racking up fantasy points is game script. If a team often falls behind and has to resort to airing the ball out, game script is in their favor. Just look at the […]

Last season, five receivers topped 160 targets, including Ja'Marr Chase (185), Amon-Ra St. Brown (172), Trey McBride (169), Puka Nacua (166), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (163), forming one of the most exclusive clubs. Assuming Malik Nabers was healthy in his 2024 season, which featured 170 targets, it would've gained him access to this club. So, which […]

Training camp is underway for all 32 teams, and this weekend we will finally see everybody in action for their first preseason games. The 2026 NFL season is upon us. There is a lot of information to consume for fantasy managers coming out of a long winter. A lot of energy is spent on the […]

So much time and energy is spent breaking down the early rounds of fantasy football drafts and dissecting which players are good targets and fades. In a lot of ways, that is fair, since nailing your early round picks can unlock your fantasy team's ceiling. That is especially true at the running back position in […]

The term "league winner" gets thrown around a lot. Not every player deserves that title, but we'll do what we can to identify players who could be big-time difference makers in fantasy football this season. A league winner typically ascends due to talent, opportunity, and health. They also (generally speaking) outperform their average draft position […]

Some NFL teams have the same WR1 year-over-year. Puka Nacua, Ja'Marr Chase, and Amon-Ra St. Brown come to mind. These guys aren't going anywhere, and they're set to produce for fantasy teams once again in 2026. Other teams turn over more often, either via trades, free agency, or the NFL Draft. New players assume new […]

Rookie running backs can be a great source of fantasy football value if you can get the right options in the right spots to produce. Due to the wear and tear on running backs, the position always has quite a bit of turnover both from season to season and even within the season. With constant […]

Running backs in standard scoring are far more valuable than wide receivers in this format because it doesn't award points for receptions. Traditional early-down running backs who find the end zone have a clear edge over pass-catching backs. Derrick Henry has more value than De'Von Achane or Chase Brown in this format. At RotoBaller HQ, […]
