It’s no secret at this point that this class of running backs has the potential to be special.

Best Fantasy Football Fits for the Remaining Free Agent Wide Receivers

Free Agency has been going on for over a week now. The best free agents have already been signed, making the pickings a little slim if teams are looking for any immediate impact players. That doesn't mean there aren't some quality players left available who could be fantasy-relevant in the right situation. In this article, […]

2025 NFL Mock Draft: Wide Receiver-Only Edition (Three Rounds)

NFL mock drafts are difficult to make for a variety of reasons. Draft-night trades are impossible to predict and throw a wrench into an entire mock at the drop of a hat. And just because teams have glaring needs at certain positions does not mean they will draft players from that position. There's a reason […]

2025 NFL Draft: How Many Running Backs Will Go In First Round?

The 2025 NFL Combine is now in the books, and while many players had standout performances that rose their draft stock, such as Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden, who ran a 4.29-second 40-yard dash, it was the running back group that largely crushed its testing. Now, the answer to the question of how many running […]

Three-Round Post Free Agency 2025 NFL Mock Draft

NFL Free Agency has been up for more than a week, and very few impact players are left available. Because of that, any player a team signs from now until the NFL Draft is unlikely to alter their draft-day plans significantly. However, the early portion of free agency can substantially impact which players and which […]

2025 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterback Only Edition

The 2025 NFL Draft isn't really the deepest as far as quarterbacks go. There are two obvious names at the top of the draft in Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, but things dry up rather quickly past that. That's not to say there isn't quarterback talent here. There might not be a ton of players […]

2025 NFL Draft Rankings for Fantasy Football: Top 9 Quarterbacks

Last year's rookie quarterback class was special. The first three players drafted were all quarterbacks, with Caleb Williams going to the Bears at No. 1 followed by Jayden Daniels to the Commanders at No. 2, and Drake Maye to the Patriots at No. 3.

Three Fantasy Football Rookie Wide Receiver Sleepers: Yards Per Route Run Analysis

In one of my first fantasy football articles covering NFL Draft prospects, we looked at three rookies who stood out via yards per route run.

2025 NFL Draft Analysis: Four Early Bold Predictions

2025 NFL Draft Tight End Rankings: Top 5 Rookies

Last year’s tight-end draft class lacked depth. Brock Bowers was arguably the top tight-end prospect we have seen in years. However, the rest of the unit lacks star upside. Thankfully, that won’t be the case this year. The 2025 NFL Draft tight-end class doesn’t have an elite prospect like Bowers. Yet, several tight ends could […]

2025 NFL Draft Wide Receiver Rankings: Top 5 Rookies

Last year’s wide receiver class was one of the best in recent history, totaling three top-10 picks and seven prospects coming off the board in the first round.

Top 5 Fantasy Football IDP Rookies: 2025 NFL Draft Prospects Outlooks

Fantasy football discussions tend to focus on offense. That makes sense because the vast majority of fantasy leagues are offense-only leagues. However, let's not forget about the defense. Individual Defensive Players (IDP) leagues can be a lot of fun. In fact, our RotoBaller dynasty league is an IDP league. Having to think about defensive stats […]

Fantasy Football Rankings For Every Team's Pass-Catchers (WR/TE)

The NFL has become a passing league. It's been like that for a while now; it's no mystery. Wide receivers and tight ends are some of the most popular players in the league.

2025 NFL Mock Draft: Best Case Scenario for All 32 Teams

Predicting the first round of the NFL Draft is a futile exercise. The “best” mock drafts have a hit rate lower than Anthony Richardson's completion percentage, which probably explains why so many are floating about. Here, we won’t be trying to predict the future of the 2025 NFL Draft. Instead, we will be doing an […]

Best Trade Destinations And Landing Spots for DK Metcalf In 2025 Fantasy Football

DK Metcalf is still a member of the Seattle Seahawks, at least for now. However, he’s requested a trade. He’s in the final year of his contract and wants to get paid.
