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 […]

For dedicated fantasy football owners who start their preparation early, RotoBaller has you covered.

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 […]

Week 16 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

To recap Week 15: Philip Rivers wasn’t special at all, but Colin Kaepernick earned his bump and Dak Prescott didn’t have a QB1 game. Bill Belichick opted to use his agile running backs instead of LeGarrette Blount, but at least he got a cheap TD to salvage his day, unlike Thomas Rawls. Knocking both Denver […]

Week 15 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

It was a very hit-or-miss week, with Philip Rivers not being a top-10 QB while Joe Flacco was definitely worth the bump. Spencer Ware flubbed with Charcandrick West stealing the red-zone TD, but Rob Kelley was certainly an RB2. Believing in DeAndre Hopkins again was simply idiotic of me. Kyle Rudolph had a nice week, […]
