The 2025 rookie class of running backs generated considerable excitement throughout the fantasy community surrounding their entrance into the NFL. Enthusiasm surged due to the exceptional depth within this talented class, as a group of these newcomers appeared destined to deliver sustained value to managers who selected them during the 2025 draft season. One year later, […]

The 2026 NFL season may still be a few months away, but there's no better time than the present to prepare for your redraft fantasy football leagues. Having already completed at least 50 drafts, I can tell you the back end of this year's running back landscape is particularly interesting. Today, we'll look at eight […]

Your Google or Outlook calendar is now displaying the month of July, which obviously means that the preseason for fantasy football has started. From a fantasy perspective, that means we have arrived at our version of training camp, in the weeks before most players do the bulk of their drafting. Of course, many high-stakes players […]

Often, fantasy football managers put too much emphasis on hitting in the first couple of rounds of their drafts. While it is important to avoid early round busts, it’s nearly impossible to be crowned a champion without a little late-round help. With June now behind us, all 32 teams will begin their training camps in […]

Finding league-winning value at wide receiver is all about identifying talented players before the rest of your league catches on. Half of this year's ADP top four -- Puka Nacua and Amon-Ra St. Brown -- were once considered deep sleepers. Are the sleeper names on this list going to become All-Pro wide receivers and recurring […]

Summer is in full swing. Hopefully you’re making the most of it and have enjoyed a few trips and grilled a few hot dogs along the way. As summer moves along, that means NFL training camps and preseason games are now just a few weeks away. It also means fantasy football drafts will be here […]

This article is back for the third year in a row. Alvin Kamara and Javonte Williams were hits in the 2025 edition, while Joe Mixon and James Conner were not so much (but that was mostly due to injury). As always, with many of my articles, I won't highlight the obvious players who fit the […]

This article highlights five of the top rookie targets for the 2026 fantasy football season. These players stand out because of their talent, opportunity, and late-season upside, but they are not the only rookies worth drafting. Rookies can change fantasy seasons. In dynasty leagues, they are the most important selections of every rookie draft. In […]

No fantasy football leagues are won because of which players fantasy managers draft in the first, second, or third rounds. Championships are won because of the golden gems drafted in the late rounds -- and I am not talking about kickers. It is easy for fantasy footballers to draft the likes of Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson, […]

The resurgence of running backs in fantasy football was clear in 2025 and will have a major impact on fantasy football managers in 2026. However, NFL teams have also gotten better (and smarter) at splitting their backfields to keep players fresh and maximize efficiency. Identifying and attacking those edges is a way for fantasy managers […]

Cincinnati Bengals top target Ja’Marr Chase is the No. 1-ranked wide receiver in dynasty fantasy football leagues heading into the upcoming NFL season. Case closed. And why shouldn’t Chase be numero uno? The last two seasons, he has racked up 252 receptions for 3,120 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns. He led the league in targets […]

Every season, some players go so late in fantasy football drafts and eventually emerge as league winners. Players like Drake Maye, Javonte Williams, Alec Pierce, and Harold Fannin Jr. were some of the late-round steals in fantasy drafts last summer. This year, more late-round steals will emerge. In this article, we'll dive into the eight […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers -- it's time for another edition of our updated fantasy football rookie rankings for single-QB leagues. This year's class is especially top-loaded, but there will inevitably be a handful of later-round players who emerge on the fantasy football radar in Year 1 and beyond. We're here to help you make the right picks […]

It is almost time for fantasy football drafts to start. This means it is time to find out which rookies are worth taking and which ones should be left in the queue. July 6 starts the Scott Fish Bowl. It's the official start of the fantasy football season. There are 22 rounds, and many players […]

To define breakouts, we're looking at players who haven't yet scored 200 fantasy football points. The 200 fantasy point threshold is often a marker for a breakout season since it weeds out the points per game monsters, who scored well in 2-3 games. Besides the 200 fantasy point threshold, finding players within their first 3-5 […]

With the NFL calendar turning its page from the 2025 season onto the 2026 season and with the NFL Draft and free agency now in the rearview mirror, it’s time to focus on the most recent fluctuations in the dynasty market, particularly that of the running back position. While many fantasy assets, especially those of […]

Some NFL teams have the same WR1 year-over-year. Puka Nacua, Ja'Marr Chase, and Amon-Ra St. Brown come to mind. These guys aren't going anywhere, and they're set to produce for fantasy teams once again in 2026. Other teams turn over more often, either via trades, free agency, or the NFL Draft. New players assume new […]

While pass-catchers get a ton of shine in PPR leagues, having a stable of productive running backs remains key if you want to win a fantasy football championship. Training camp is set to begin soon, and it's time to start your early draft prep. We're here to assist with our updated top 80 fantasy football PPR […]

The 2026 NFL Draft class is set to debut soon, and nailing your rookie draft picks will be key for setting up your roster for a championship run. We're back with our updated superflex fantasy football rookie rankings for 2026. These […]

Bold predictions in fantasy football are always a great time. They allow our imagination as fantasy managers to run wild. Who could shatter records? Who might come out of nowhere? Who might fall flat on their face? Thinking boldly can pay dividends in the form of fantasy championships. Bold predictions are not necessarily a reflection […]

Below is our updated top 300 Superflex (2QB) fantasy football rankings for 2026. All 32 starting quarterbacks are on the fantasy football radar, […]

Acquiring exciting players via trade or your rookie draft is one of the most exciting aspects of playing in a dynasty league, but knowing when to sell a player before they fall off and see a significant value decline is arguably more important. In this article, we'll discuss a handful of players you should consider […]

It's so heartbreaking when you draft a fantasy football player highly, convinced that they will produce like their usual selves, and then they go on to have an extremely disappointing season. But there's always the potential for a glorious rebound. Naturally, whenever a player is coming off a down year, their fantasy value goes down, […]

Year in and year out, fantasy football managers are hoping to hit it big during their rookie drafts to gain a leg up on the competition. For some rookies, an impact occurs instantaneously; for some, they become late-season league winners, and for most, they are still a year away from making an impact. Last season, […]

Drafting the right tight end for your fantasy football squad is never easy. Unlike QBs, RBs, and WRs, you don't see many TEs scoring over 20 points in a week. In fact, 2020 Travis Kelce (20.9 PPR points per game) is the only tight end to average over 20.0 PPR points per game over the […]
