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 […]

Every year, only a few players end up becoming legit difference-makers in the fantasy football season. Not to say sleepers and late-round picks don’t matter, but they don’t move the needle as much as we make them out to. ESPN data showed that only five players were found on 20 percent or more of championship […]

One more weekend. Then we can sit back, watch some football games, and enjoy reaping the rewards of all our fantasy football draft preparations! But we're not there just yet. I've done dozens of best ball drafts and several industry drafts, but I still have two of my most important drafts ahead of me -- […]

Zero RB is a draft strategy where you wait until after the sixth round to select your first running back. The goal here is to load up your wide receiver room, along with adding an elite quarterback and/or tight end before taking the most volatile position in fantasy football, running back. From there, you can […]

We're in the heart of draft season right now. Most fantasy football drafts will happen this week, so it's the perfect time for me to highlight my All-Breakout team. I'm going to focus on players who: A) Haven't had their breakout season yet, and B) I haven't written about recently. These are some of my […]

We have reached the final draft weekend before Week 1 starts. At RotoBaller HQ, we published rankings for PPR and Half-PPR formats, and now it's time to focus on standard leagues. In a standard format, players don't receive a point for receptions, and it has more of an old-school feel. For fantasy managers who play […]

In this piece, we will spotlight some of the top "league-winners" at the quarterback position who you can find within these parts of the […]

Breakouts win leagues. Fantasy football differs from other sports in the sense that a few players really can make-or-break your week and season. It is not like baseball, where you want to build a deep team to compete over a very long season. In football, the lineup is smaller, and the scoring is more big-play […]

The wide receiver position seems to produce excellent values, and even a few league-winners in the later rounds of drafts or even among those wideouts who aren't drafted in most fantasy football leagues. A big part of the appeal of drafting multiple running backs early in redraft leagues is that their roles are usually more […]

The term "dark horse" originated in 19th-century horse racing as a way to describe a contender of whom bettors or spectators knew very little. The 1800s. A time when every third person you’d meet was probably still wrestling with the notion of gravity and 60% of your news came from a mustachioed huckster traveling through […]

Fortune favors the bold, especially in fantasy football. Only one team wins the trophy, so do your due diligence and take a stand on those results. At the end of the day, even the most accurate gamers get tons of stuff wrong -- we may as well go down swinging. And what's bolder than the […]

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), […]

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. […]
