As you gear up for your 2026 fantasy football draft, don't make the mistake of going into it without a plan at the kicker spot. Whether you're a fan of having kickers in your league or not, they can and will make the difference between winning matchups. That said, the position will impact your chance […]

Fantasy football draft season is heating up as we get closer to Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. At RotoBaller HQ, we will continue to adjust our ranks as training camp news and injuries flow in. Today, we review the tight end position for half-PPR leagues. In our updated 2026 fantasy football half-PPR tight […]

Just like that, the NFL's first preseason game of the 2026 season has concluded, and we're getting closer and closer to the start of the season. One of the things I, and presumably almost all fantasy football managers, have missed is the feeling of drafting an eventual league-winner in the final few rounds. If you're […]

Last week, I wrote about several running backs who could be ready for big seasons running behind improved offensive lines. A lot of folks read it, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of other analysts who are interested in breaking down offensive line stats and metrics, so I have decided to run it […]

Even the players atop the consensus fantasy football rankings carry concerns, from durability issues to weak supporting casts. That's especially true once the draft reaches the middle rounds. The lower-risk stars have already been selected. It's then time to weigh upside against imperfections. In this series of articles, we'll weigh the pros and cons of […]

Mid-round wide receivers are the backbone of many great fantasy football teams. Yes, they won't get as many points as your superstar RB or the WR1 you drafted in the first round, but fantasy leagues are often won and lost because of depth. If you draft a WR, RB, and QB in the first three […]

The parity observed around the NFL is rare in professional sports. A team can rise and fall quite quickly in this league. The Patriots represented the AFC in the Super Bowl just a year removed from earning a top pick in the draft. The Bengals made the Super Bowl in 2021, only to have now […]

In a way to even out the playing field for tight ends to make a bigger impact in fantasy football, tight end premium leagues were created to give the position a little bit of a boost. For fantasy managers unfamiliar with tight premium leagues, it rewards extra points for receptions and, in some cases, receiving […]

With training camp in full swing and preseason games about to kick off, we are in the heart of the fantasy football offseason as some of the biggest draft weekends are coming up. Best Ball leagues have been taking place all offseason, and the beauty of this format to some managers is that there is […]

Fantasy managers should always be on the lookout for upside and potential. These are the players that we should be targeting endlessly. Now, will they all become "league-winners"? Well, now that is up to your definition of the term. The reality is league-winners are rare. However, these players provide fantasy managers with plenty of upside […]

The narrative around drafts this season has been against drafting with the ZeroRB strategy. Some drafters might be fading the ZeroRB approach because running backs were profitable in the early rounds over the past two seasons. When looking at running back win rates last season, many of the running backs from the first three rounds […]

In years past, wide receiver was the lifeblood of building your fantasy football roster in the early rounds of drafts. All managers followed suit as offenses around the NFL were centered on the passing game, making it vitally important to have the right pieces in your starting lineups. Now, the shift in the league is […]

Hey, RotoBallers! The dynasty fantasy football offseason never sleeps. Whether it is making a blockbuster trade or scouting this year's rookie class to gain an edge in your league, you must be assessing the state of your team around the clock to build a true contender. However, after the rookie draft or a major trade, […]

One trend that goes unnoticed when projecting wide receiver rankings is that when a quarterback starts tucking the ball and running more often, the ceiling for his top wideout takes a noticeable hit. It makes intuitive sense—more designed runs and scrambles mean fewer drop-backs, fewer pass attempts, and ultimately fewer opportunities for that WR1 to […]

Every year, there are a handful of fantasy football players who put up video game numbers. At times each season, it feels like if you do not have one of those players, you are not going to win. Everyone is chasing those players who can truly lap the competition at their position, like what Trey […]

Most fantasy leagues use fantasy team defenses, but IDP (individual defensive players) leagues are gaining steam and continue to grow in popularity. For those unfamiliar with IDP leagues, it requires you to start defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs instead of a team defense. For fantasy managers in IDP leagues or new to them, we've […]

What could go wrong? That's the question we should ask ourselves before selecting any player in fantasy drafts. Those concerns become amplified in the middle rounds. With the safest bets already off the board, fantasy managers have to take calculated risks among an imperfect player pool. In this series of articles, we'll weigh the pros […]

Superflex leagues are becoming more popular each year as they place more emphasis on quarterbacks, increasing the value of the position. For those unfamiliar with Superflex leagues, it's a format where you can start a quarterback at the FLEX position, but it's not required to. At RotoBaller HQ, we have updated our top 300 Superflex […]

Fantasy football season is nearing, and experienced managers know rookies can bring league-winning value in redraft and dynasty leagues. The 2026 NFL Draft class saw several wideouts come off the board in the first two rounds, including KC Concepcion, Omar Cooper Jr., and Denzel Boston. While none of these first-year WRs got juicy landing spots, […]

Every year, right around this time, I feel like that scene from "The Office" where Michael Scott says, “Oh my God, it’s happening. Everybody stay calm.” The problem is, I can’t stay calm. The NFL is back, and it feels so very good. I don’t care that it’s the preseason. I don’t care that it’s […]

The tight end position in fantasy football is always the hardest to navigate in drafts. Some will say taking one of the top tight ends early is a must in drafts. Others will say it's best to wait on one until the middle-to-late rounds. This position is so unpredictable every week that grabbing a consistent […]

Upside. League-winner. Ceiling. These terms, especially in June and July, are thrown around far too often. Once August rolls around, however, and the pads go on, the term shrinks in its use. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be on the lookout for any player with this kind of potential. Potential. That's another frequently used buzzword, […]

Even the best prospects in fantasy football have downsides, whether it's injury concerns, a below-average offense, or competition for playing time. The middle rounds are when the scale begins to tip in the risks' favor. The players with minimal risk are off the board, and it's time to select from the imperfect bunch. In this […]
