Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. ECR

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros.

Rookie Rankings and Draft Analysis

NFL Preseason Week 3 Review - Fantasy Impact

Week 3 of the NFL preseason is typically a dress rehearsal for teams and we get the best idea yet of how players will be used. While some NFL teams still chose to rest their starters, many inexplicably didn't. Unfortunately, we also had a major injury with Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee going down for the […]

For our most avid fantasy football enthusiasts who look not to discriminate on the other side of the football for fantasy purposes, RotoBaller brings to you our 2018 Individual Defensive Player rankings.

Sleeper Defenses for the 2018 Fantasy Football Season

Fantasy DST production is one of the most difficult things to predict on a yearly basis, with preseason favorites often not even registering in the top 12 come season's end. Remember the "juggernaut" Broncos last year? Didn't even finish in the top 15. While there is almost always some joker willing to pony up for […]


Offensive Line Power Rankings (Preseason)

The most basic aspects of football are blocking and tackling. Of course, the glory, girls, and in some instances paychecks go to the skill players, but the basis of a good offense in the NFL is the offensive line. Without a competent offensive line, an entire offense can crumble before your very eyes. Running backs […]


2018 ADP Throwdown - Alvin Kamara vs. Saquon Barkley

Fantasy football draft season is upon us and RotoBaller is here to help! In this series, two RotoBaller experts will discuss the merits of two players with similar value and average draft position (ADP). Remember that situations will change for all players over the course of the summer and it may impact where they are […]


Under-the-Radar Route Runners To Target Late

Often times, what draws spectators and fantasy enthusiasts to a wide receiver is their size, their speed, their ability to reach over defenders and snatch balls out of the air, and their ability to score touchdowns. That’s all well and good, but rarely do we look at what makes a wide receiver truly special – […]


Wide Receiver Standard Rankings - Tiers and Analysis

The expert rankers at RotoBaller are committed to providing you with the analysis that you need to formulate a plan as you proceed through your drafts - regardless of whether you are participating in Dynasty, Redraft, or Best-Ball leagues. Our rankings also include tiers, in order to supply a more detailed breakdown on which players […]


Defense Tiered Rankings and Draft Analysis

Defense is a position in fantasy leagues that is often wildly over-drafted. Even the best scoring and most consistent defenses do not differentiate themselves enough to the others to make them worth the price that they often go at. Last year the Jacksonville Jaguars defense lit up fantasy leagues, scoring among the top-10 defenses more […]


Five Wide Receiver ADP Draft Values

As the NFL season approaches, and leagues begin to host their fantasy drafts, we have a pretty good idea of where most players will be drafted. While the early rounds are chock full of studs and obvious picks, it's the middle and late rounds that will truly make or break your draft. Today, I present […]


Which Rams Receiver is Most Valuable at Their ADP?

The Rams receivers were almost impossible to predict going into last season. The first four guys on the depth chart didn't play for the team in 2016, their quarterback hadn't won a game in the NFL, and their new coach ran an offensive system that got all kinds of people touches. Many expected the newly […]

Could Tavon Austin Be Zeke's Kryptonite in PPR?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott could be the top overall player in fantasy football in 2018. In fact, I had this notion throughout the offseason that he would be utilized more in the passing game and parlay his league-leading rushing yard-per-game average into an overall RB1 finish. But I'm taking it back. Dez Bryant […]


Hot Take NFL Podcast - Tight End Rankings Debate

RotoBaller writer Blake Sullivan and Fantrax HQ writer Steven Toroni discuss the most recent news and notes of the day for NFL fans, share their TE rankings, and provide some hot takes on fantasy football draft advice. This radio show is sponsored by our good friends over at RTSports. Be sure to tune into RotoBaller Radio on […]


Tight End Standard Rankings - Tiers and Analysis

Tight end is always a difficult position to draft. The elite players go early but you have to be willing to sacrifice other positions to lock them down. Beyond the top tier, the position becomes highly inconsistent week-to-week which makes it particularly difficult to draft them. You must balance the upside of pure red zone […]


Roto Revolution - Possible Second-Year Breakouts

The term second year-breakout is used every year, but does it really happen? On today's show, Kyle and Jake will be sharing players going into their second year in the NFL and discussing whether or not they think they are headed for a breakout fantasy football season. In this show we go in-depth on the […]
