2017 Player vs. Player - Stefon Diggs vs. Devante Parker

You're on the clock. The timer's ticking. You're torn between two players. Who do you take? That's the question we'll debate in this player vs. player series. In this article, Charlie Kleinheksel advocates for Stefon Diggs (ADP 5.08) and Pierre Camus will make the case for DeVante Parker (ADP 6.01) in dynasty startup formats. Fantasy football […]

Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - Full AFC Rankings Part 1

It took us long enough but we've finally moved on from ranking each wide receiver corps division by division. This week's focus shifts over to a look at the 16 teams in the AFC, ranking them accordingly. For the sake of brevity, this will be broken up into two parts. The top few teams should […]

Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - NFC West

At last we have reached the final division in our fantasy receiving corps series. I wish I could tell you we saved the most potent division for last, but that would be a lie. The NFC West may very well be the weakest division, not just based on wide receivers, but on overall talent. That being […]

ADP Arbitrage - Redraft Mid-Round Value Picks

Every year there are players at each position who fly under the radar during the offseason, only to outperform players who were drafted much higher. The individuals who can identify players with low ADP that have the potential to perform at a similar or higher level to the more highly-touted players oftentimes are the same individuals […]

Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - AFC West

We're close to wrapping up the divisional portion of our fantasy receiver corps series. This week's piece will focus on the AFC West, a division home to a fairly large amount of fantasy options. You can go as far as saying that this is one of the deepest divisions overall, regardless of position. Even in simply […]

Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - AFC South

The ranking of every NFL team based on their wide receivers rolls on with a shift over to the AFC South. For those of you keeping score at home, this is the fifth division thus far as we inch closer to conference rankings before ending with an overall #1-32. Admittedly, the AFC South was a […]

ADP Arbitrage - Mid-Round Targets for MFL10 Fantasy Drafts

The Wisdom of Crowds is a concept theorized by philosopher Francis Galton, who observed at a county fair in 1906 a group of over 800 people guessing the weight of an ox that was on display. While the majority of people were off by a fair amount, the median guess was 1208 pounds, less than […]

Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - NFC North

Our ranking of fantasy receiving corps rolls on with a look at the NFC North. I should remind you once again that we'll be ranking teams by division, then conference, then a straight ranking for the entire NFL. As always, rankings are subject to the state of the team as of writing. Tons of things will […]

Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - AFC North

We continue our ranking of every NFL team's receiving corps with a focus on the AFC North. If you're keeping track, each piece dives into one division at a time followed by a conference ranking before ultimately settling on a full #1-32. This week's edition will be very top-heavy with the #1 spot going to an obvious favorite. […]

Ranking the Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - NFC East

RotoBaller's new series of ranking NFL teams by their receiving corps continues with a look at the NFC East. To recap how this works, we're starting by ranking each division based on how their wide receivers line up for fantasy. From there it'll switch over to conferences before concluding with a full ranking of each team, from […]

Ranking the Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - AFC East

This season RotoBaller will be starting a new series that ranks all 32 NFL teams by their wide receiver corps. Here's the skinny on how this is going to work: we'll start by going division by division before moving over to conferences, then ultimately a straight one through 32. The idea is to simply rank each team's […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2017 - WR (Part 2)

With NFL teams placing more and more emphasis on the passing game, wide receivers will only become more important assets in dynasty leagues. While there has been plenty of focus on the rookie crop of wide receivers, a few more veteran wideouts saw their value change dramatically. Listed below are two receivers to buy, and […]

2017 Rookie Rankings for Single-Season Leagues (Pre-Draft)

Drafting rookies in your FFL is always a dicey proposition. Trying to figure out your rookie draft board before they've even been drafted by their respective NFL teams is a crap-shoot at best. But maybe your draft is absurdly early, or maybe you're the type of franchise owner who wants all the opinions you can digest, […]

The Ideal MFL10 Draft - Part 2

In this article, I'll lay out the second part of my draft strategy for the ideal slot in order to maximize fantasy potential in MFL10 leagues. The foundation was laid in the first part of this draft with two upper-echelon running backs, a trio of high-ceiling receivers, and pair of San Diego Los Angeles Chargers at QB and […]

The Ideal MFL10 Draft - Part 1

MFL10 leagues bring a unique spin to the fantasy football draft process. Therefore, it should take some unique preparation as well. Risk/reward is the name of the game in best-ball formats. You need to find players with high ceilings without incurring too many risks that could potentially sink your team. In this article, I'll lay out […]

2017 Rankings Analysis - Quarterbacks

Those of us who have been playing fantasy football for a long time know that quarterbacks can be fairly polarizing. Some folks tend to lean toward the "wait on QB" methodology while others are more in the "get yourself a stud" camp. Neither strategy is objectively wrong but each has its pros and cons. Here […]

2017 Rankings Analysis - Tight Ends in PPR Leagues

Just because the 2016 season was a downer for tight ends it does not mean that 2017 is destined to be a repeat. There are several wild cards at tight end because there is a bumper crop of young up-and-comers just entering their primes who showed flashes of great promise this past season. This coupled […]

2017 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues

In 2016, Zero RB likely meant zero championships. The vast majority of fantasy football league champs rode the coattails of one of the top three running backs to victory. Those three RB have also been the first three players selected overall in most early drafts, according to MFL10 data. If you aren't lucky enough to land […]

2017 Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers in Standard Leagues

The landscape has changed in fantasy football when it comes to how important wide receivers are. 23 wide receivers broke the 1,000-yard barrier in 2016, so the NFL continues to be a pass-first, run-second league. While receivers were third in the pecking order behind running backs and quarterbacks in fantasy football 3-5 years ago, the […]

2017 Rankings Analysis - Tight Ends in Standard Leagues

Stop me if you've heard this before: 2016 was not a great year for tight ends. Nobody at the position scored double-digit touchdowns and only two had 1,000 receiving yards. Thanks to serious injuries to major players at the position, fantasy owners were scrambling like Tyrod Taylor to find tight end help throughout the season. But […]

Early MFL10 ADP Reflections

It might seem early for a mock fantasy football draft, even though we are five months away from the first preseason game. What if I told you there was a whole community that is not only mocking, but drafting in real leagues already? The MFL10 (MyFantasyLeague) community is a dedicated one that often stays one step ahead of […]

Week 17 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

To recap Week 16: Matt Ryan did well, but so did a lot of other quarterbacks – a group that Matt Barkley wasn’t part of. Robert Kelley got hurt, but so did Carlos Hyde. My Jordy Nelson fade looked good in the second half when the Vikings covered him according to plan, but their first half […]
