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 […]

For 2026 fantasy football drafts, I am putting a higher emphasis on running backs again. In my latest overall fantasy football player rankings on RotoBaller, 11 of my top 17 players are RBs. The best RBs may be taken by the middle of the second round in some drafts, so I prefer to get at […]

If you are reading this article, that means you are starting to prepare for your upcoming fantasy football draft. Luckily, RotoBaller has you covered with daily articles and news to help you get as prepared as […]

Hey RotoBallers! Training camp is in full swing, and the Hall of Fame game is just around the corner, which means it's time to talk league-winners. The phrase "league-winners" has various meanings, as it could be striking gold on a breakout or finding a discounted veteran in the later rounds. Last season, we saw a […]

The biggest edge in fantasy football is uncovering undervalued players with the greatest opportunities. This article will focus on the running back position; guys being drafted outside the top 24. For one reason or another, these five players are going later in fantasy drafts than they should be. That presents an opportunity for you, the […]

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 […]

We are now days away from the fantasy football season kicking off. The NFL Combine, draft, and Hall of Fame Game are now things of the past. With draft season in full force, it’s time to identify players that offer the best return on your investment. Fantasy Championships aren’t won by players selected in the […]

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 […]

Let us welcome you to our Underdog Fantasy Football Rankings for 2026 Best Ball leagues on Underdog Fantasy. These will differ from other ranks, as the Underdog Fantasy platform's NFL best ball leagues have four positions: Quarterback (QB), Running Back (RB), Wide Receiver (WR), and Tight End (TE). These positions are reflected in the rankings […]

We're happy to present RotoBaller's DraftKings Fantasy Football Rankings for 2026 Best Ball leagues on DraftKings. Keep in mind that on the DraftKings Fantasy platform, NFL best ball leagues have four potential positions: Quarterback (QB), Running Back (RB), Wide Receiver (WR), and Tight End (TE). This is reflected in the rankings below, next to each […]

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 […]

Last season, five receivers topped 160 targets, including Ja'Marr Chase (185), Amon-Ra St. Brown (172), Trey McBride (169), Puka Nacua (166), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (163), forming one of the most exclusive clubs. Assuming Malik Nabers was healthy in his 2024 season, which featured 170 targets, it would've gained him access to this club. So, which […]

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 […]

We're inching closer to the middle of August, which means fantasy football draft season is about to be in full force! At RotoBaller, we have you covered with the latest rankings updates all preseason long based on the latest camp intel, injury report, and more. It's time for a look at these updated top 300 half-PPR […]

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 […]

August has arrived. Training camp is officially underway. That means fantasy football drafts aren’t far behind. For some people, simply joining a league and experiencing the camaraderie that comes with it is enough to satisfy them. However, if you’re a serious fantasy gamer, then you know that it’s undeniably more fun to win your league […]

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 […]
