Rookie Spotlight - J.J. Arcega-Whiteside

With the 57th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Stanford wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to give quarterback Carson Wentz another big-bodied weapon to boost their offense. Whiteside wasn't the top prospect in this year's class, but he gives the offense the ability to improve their offensive efficiency in the red zone. […]

Recently, the RotoBaller staff put together our up-to-date rankings for dynasty formats. As you will see in dynasty formats as well as redraft leagues, the running back position is at a premium. Of the first 24 players overall, half of them are RBs. With the number of teams in the NFL to adopt the committee […]

Rookie Running Backs Destined for a Committee

There has been some great rookie running back draft classes in recent years. This year wasn't one of those. While there was a number of players that were solid options later in the draft, there were only a couple that have the opportunity to be full-time starters in Year 1. These are not those guys. […]

Rookie Mock Draft Recap - What the Experts Were Thinking

Just after the NFL Draft finished up, we assembled our fantasy football dynasty writers for a rookie mock draft. This was a 10-team draft that went eight rounds (because we're fiends). League settings were PPR, single-QB, dynasty, rookies only. To see the full board in all its glory hosted by our friends at Sleeper, check […]

Josh Jacobs - The Next Beast Mode?

Since the NFL Draft, Josh Jacobs has been the talk of the fantasy community. With his selection to the Oakland Raiders, speculation has been all over the place in terms of his value in not only dynasty formats but also redraft leagues. He may very well be the replacement for Marshawn Lynch in this offense. […]

Rookie Tight Ends In The Best Fantasy Situations

The 2019 NFL draft is complete and it's time to start prepping for fantasy football. Today, we're talking about tight ends that could make an impact in the rookie season. The most difficult part of this will be figuring out which tight ends can avoid the rookie wall that most rookie tight ends seem to […]

Dynasty IDP Rookie Linebacker Risers and Fallers (Part 2)

Linebackers are a very situation-dependant position in IDP fantasy football, regardless of your scoring. If you aren't on the field consistently, you probably won't produce consistently. This makes landing spot and draft capital more important for linebacker than for any other position. With the 2019 NFL Draft in the books, we can finally take a […]

They Took Who??? Teams That Confused Us by Drafting the Wrong Player

Every year, the NFL Draft treats viewers to surprises. Often, those surprises are...not necessarily good ones. Teams make mistakes, or they make non-mistakes that appear to be mistakes at first glance, and those mistakes can have serious fantasy football ramifications. Last year, I wrote this column and pegged the following players as wrong choices: Josh […]

Teams That Won and Lost the 2019 NFL Draft

If the 2019 NFL Draft took place 10 years ago, with the exact same pool of players to choose from, Kyler Murray would not have been the first overall pick. He would likely not have been the first quarterback taken, and perhaps would not have been drafted in the first round. He is short in […]

Rookie Wide Receivers In The Best Fantasy Situations

Referring to the NFL Draft as “highly anticipated” does not fully describe the monumental level of hype and excitement that is infused into this annual event. The fascination that surrounded this year’s draft has now evolved into an unmistakable combination of excessive optimism and unbridled distress for the fan bases of all 32 franchises, while […]

Instant Reaction - NFL Draft Round 4-7 Winners/Losers

The third day of the NFL Draft is when things can start to drag on for people who aren't super into the NFL, but it's also where there's a ton of value to be had. Teams can fill a lot of holes -- particularly at a position like running back -- late in the draft. […]

NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers - Instant Reaction

On Thursday night, the NFL Draft kicked off with the Arizona Cardinals taking Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, just as everyone was expecting.

NFL Draft 2019 - Round 1 Projections

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - New Orleans Saints

Coming off of one of the most excruciating losses in NFL playoff history, the Saints will be looking ahead for another chance at a title in 2019. With one of the best quarterbacks in the league under center, Drew Brees, the team sports one of the more explosive offenses for fantasy. He will be looking […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Dallas Cowboys

The 2018 season for the Dallas Cowboys saw another trip to the postseason only to end in an embarrassing loss to the Los Angeles Rams. But one thing that we did see was another step in the progression of Dak Prescott at QB. Finishing as QB11 on the season, Prescott looked all but lost before […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Cleveland Browns

The world may actually be coming to an end as the Cleveland Browns are the talk of the NFL and may be on the verge of Super Bowl contention. Baker Mayfield is being set up for success with an array of talent on offense to rival any team in the league. He will be running […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Chicago Bears

The first year under Matt Nagy led to a playoff berth for the Chicago Bears. The team rode a fantastic defense to wins while the progression of second-year QB Mitchell Trubisky didn't go as smoothly as hoped. His overall production was good but not great (3,223 yards and 27 total TDs). He continued to heavily […]

Can You Trust Rookie Wide Receivers in Re-draft?

This upcoming NFL Draft feels like it's very heavy on wide receivers and light on running backs. For dynasty owners, that leads to a pretty simple result: draft the receivers at the top of your rookie draft. But in re-draft, there's long been this idea that rookie wide receivers aren't consistently useful in fantasy, that […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - New England Patriots

The 2018 season ended with yet another Super Bowl victory for the New England Patriots. On the way to that win, we saw a few more cracks in the armor than we are accustomed to. Tom Brady's key statistics all regressed last year. His passing yardage (4,355) and touchdowns (29) were both down. While his […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Kansas City Chiefs

What a difference a quarterback makes. Second-year QB Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs starter and immediately made this team into a force in fantasy football. The excitement that he brings to the game goes without saying. His season was one of the best in league history (5.097 yards and 52 total TDs). He was a […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Los Angeles Rams

Even though the Rams' season ended in a disappointing Super Bowl loss to the Patriots, this team enjoyed a fruitful 2019. The offense was one of the more explosive in the league, headed by Jared Goff and the passing attack. Goff continues to improve as a passer each year (4,688 yards and 34 total TDs) […]
