Path to RB1: Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Clyde Edwards-Helaire burned a lot of fantasy managers last season. After Damien Williams opted out of the COVID-ridden 2020 NFL season, Edwards-Helaire's Average Draft Position (ADP) skyrocketed. He was being taken as the sixth or seventh running back off the board, and for good reason. He was hand-picked by Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy […]

Path to WR1: D.K. Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has had one of the more wild rides in the NFL over the last two-and-a-half years. After exploding for one of the best combine performances in recent memory, he proceeded to slide all the way to the end of the second round where the Seahawks snagged him with the […]

Catchers to Stream - Week 23 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position. Instead of giving into easy narratives about the lack of talent at the catcher position and how they're the kickers of fantasy baseball, I'm here to create a place where catchers are celebrated for how they can help our teams. […]

David Montgomery Is Still Being Slept On

It’s 2021 and running backs could very well be the most difficult position in fantasy football to solve on your roster. 10 years ago, you could just draft two running backs in the first two rounds no matter who it was, and barring injuries, you were in the clear. Now, with the rise in production […]

Path to QB1: Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts heads into training camp as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Unlike years past, there's no quarterback controversy in Philadelphia, giving Hurts an entire training camp and preseason to learn the offense and operate with the starters. With a new coaching regime in place, the repetitions can only help both Hurts and […]

D.J. Chark is the Jaguars Receiver You Want

Why is D.J. Chark not receiving more fantasy love? Not only is he not receiving the kind of fanfare he should be, but there are some who believe Laviska Shenault Jr. will be the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver in 2021. That's certainly a possibility, but fantasy managers need to remember just how good Chark […]

Henry Ruggs III - 2021 Breakout Candidate

Henry Ruggs III was the first receiver picked in the 2020 draft to the surprise of many. Although he didn't live up to expectations in his rookie season, there are reasons for optimism when it comes to the speedy Raiders wideout. Going into year two, Ruggs is ready to take on a bigger role, and […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in a lot better shape heading into the 2021 NFL season than they were at the end of the 2020 season, and that bodes well for the fantasy futures of their skill-position players. Laviska Shenault Jr. was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jaguars because […]

Travis Etienne Done for 2021 - Fantasy Impact

Jaguars' first-round rookie RB Travis Etienne suffered a serious mid-foot Lisfranc injury during the teams’ preseason Week 2 game vs. the Saints. In a subsequent move, Jacksonville has placed Etienne on injured reserve, officially ending his 2021 season. Although Etienne has yet to take a snap in a regular season game for the Jaguars, his absence […]

Jalen Reagor – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Jalen Reagor did not show fantasy football general managers much in 2020, but the same will not hold true in 2021. The Philadelphia Eagles’ former first-round pick was supposed to kickstart their pass-catching corps and give fantasy footballers a speedy slot receiver who could be useful in standard and dynasty leagues. Instead, Reagor gave fantasy […]

Gerald Everett - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Gerald Everett was stuck in a tight end timeshare as part of an offense whose passing attack rarely focused on its tight ends. Not anymore. Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks as soon as he could leave the Los Angeles Rams this offseason. He is now a multimillionaire member of Russell Wilson’s receiving […]

Irv Smith Jr. Is the Sleeper TE to Target

After a dominant junior season at Alabama in 2018, the Minnesota Vikings made Irv Smith Jr. the 50th overall pick in the 2019 draft, and the draft capital attached to his name brought lofty expectations. Smith's talent was evident when he ran a 4.63 40-yard-dash at the 2019 NFL Combine, second among top tight end […]

Darnell Mooney - 2021 Fantasy Sleeper

Training camp activities are continuing for all 32 teams and we have reached the onset of preseason matchups. This has incentivized fantasy managers to increase their draft preparation and roster construction, with the goal of capturing their leagues. The team at RotoBaller is fully aware of your efforts to maximize the scoring potential for each […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 23

We have another mixed bag of starters to highlight this week as we charge forward towards the fantasy playoffs. You are probably hurting for arms right now, as we've seen plenty of injuries and a good amount of breakout starters really starting to sputter out. I typically really want to focus on high strikeout guys, […]

Garrett Hampson (2B/SS/OF, COL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's mostly been another disappointing season for the speedy 26-year-old, who struggled to capitalize on the playing time opportunities he saw earlier this season. He was starting every game at either center field or second base to begin the year, and […]

Luis Urias (2B/3B/SS, MIL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: Urias has quietly put together a strong season for the Brewers. He's slashing .248/.339/.442 with 17 home runs, 57 RBI, five stolen bases, and 63 runs scored over 387 at-bats. His rate stats are nothing special and they're right in line […]

Miguel Sano (1B/3B, MIN) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: Miguel Sano's last seven games are a microcosm of his season, and his entire career for that matter. He's put up an ugly .214 batting average and .290 OBP with 10 strikeouts over 28 at-bats. However, he also slugged .571 with […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. - Star Rising Already

Today's fantasy football profile will take a look at rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. by looking at his positives, his concerns, and a variety of other important information in determining his fantasy outlook for 2021. He's been sliding under the radar for most of the offseason, but is it justified to pass on him in […]

Losers from the 2021-22 NBA Offseason Trades

The NBA offseason has turned into a matter of days--hours, if you push it--when it comes to player movement. Tampering present or not, the truth is that franchises lose no time in inking their new acquisitions to healthy deals, wheeling and dealing rookies and draft picks left and right, and pulling off trades with other […]

Brendan Rodgers (2B/SS, COL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rodgers' career got off to a rocky start, which took a lot of wind out of his top prospect sails. He slashed .196/.235/.227 over his first 102 plate appearances, which is such a tiny sample size that it probably should be […]

Tyler Gilbert (SP, ARI) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he hasn't repeated the performance from his first career start, Gilbert has still been solid on the mound over three starts now, going 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA, 1.000 WHIP and 14.9 percent strikeout rate over 19 innings of work. […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have experienced more injuries, and most teams need more and more replacements. We have a month left in the season, and things continue to stay interesting. There are still many solid options mentioned in recent articles like Brandon Marsh, Frank Schwindel, Connor Joe, and many […]

Zach Davies (SP, CHC) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a rough year for Davies, who currently sports a 6-10 record, 5.00 ERA and 1.485 WHIP. He had a nice stretch through June and July, and after back-to-back disastrous starts to open August, Davies has posted a 3.24 ERA, […]
