Today we'll be taking a look at Jonathon Brooks, Kyle […]

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... […]

The process for identifying rebound candidates involves examining players who underperformed or were inefficient. It could be for various reasons, like an injury, the offensive environment, or small samples. These potential rebound candidates fit those molds. When other players rise, some may fall, including ones on their own teams. It can be tricky to figure […]

Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB. Each year, closers drop like flies, and many MLB teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Relief pitchers are becoming increasingly important […]

Defenses and special teams (D/ST) can help win weeks. Though we sometimes focus on offense, identifying potential sleepers on defense can provide spike weeks, helping fantasy managers win leagues. In redraft leagues, the playoffs matter, but we need to reach that point. One way to increase our odds of reaching the fantasy football playoffs is […]

At RotoBaller HQ, we provide rankings for all different formats to help you get prepared for your upcoming drafts, no matter the format. Today, we focus on […]

Hey RotoBallers! The kicker position is often the most frustrating position in fantasy. While it may seem ideal to invest in a kicker who plays on a top offense, investing a rather "high" pick in this position may end up preventing you from finding some much-needed depth at your FLEX positions. In this piece, we […]

There are so many factors that go into what makes a player a good or bad selection at ADP. One underrated factor in racking up fantasy points is game script. If a team often falls behind and has to resort to airing the ball out, game script is in their favor. Just look at the […]

Hey, RotoBallers! For the first time, RotoBaller will bring you dedicated in-season fantasy hockey coverage for the upcoming 2026-27 season in addition to our in-season DFS content. Yahoo just opened up its season-long NHL leagues, which means it’s time to hit the ice and get drafting. Drafts tend to be won or lost in the […]

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 […]

Training camp is underway for all 32 teams, and this weekend we will finally see everybody in action for their first preseason games. The 2026 NFL season is upon us. There is a lot of information to consume for fantasy managers coming out of a long winter. A lot of energy is spent on the […]

Another week of MLB action is in the books, which means it's time to look towards the waiver wire and find some options to improve our rosters. This week, we will look at some surging hitters, […]

So much time and energy is spent breaking down the early rounds of fantasy football drafts and dissecting which players are good targets and fades. In a lot of ways, that is fair, since nailing your early round picks can unlock your fantasy team's ceiling. That is especially true at the running back position in […]

The term "league winner" gets thrown around a lot. Not every player deserves that title, but we'll do what we can to identify players who could be big-time difference makers in fantasy football this season. A league winner typically ascends due to talent, opportunity, and health. They also (generally speaking) outperform their average draft position […]

As much as I love talking about all my favorite draft-day sleepers and targets, in this article I will be selecting five overvalued wide receivers who fantasy managers should avoid. All these wide receivers are solid talents, but they come with significant risk at average draft position (ADP). Sometimes it's the offensive environment, the quarterback, […]

A few of these arms could make a real difference for fantasy teams over the final few weeks, so if […]

Hello RotoBallers, and welcome to what I consider to be a rather unique article that looks to pinpoint game script winners and losers for the 2026 season. When I signed up for this article, I had to do a quick read of last year's piece, so I knew what direction I was supposed to go […]

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 […]

Another week, another wave of top prospects on the verge of a call-up to the majors. Over the weekend, we finally saw St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez earn his promotion, and now I expect another round of call-ups once rosters expand in September. Here are the top five hitting prospects to stash now for […]

Rookie running backs can be a great source of fantasy football value if you can get the right options in the right spots to produce. Due to the wear and tear on running backs, the position always has quite a bit of turnover both from season to season and even within the season. With constant […]

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend for the annual stop at Loudon, a 1.058-mile flat oval. Yep, another short, flat track race. NASCAR moved the race up by an hour for Sunday due to weather, but hopefully we're able to dodge the rain drops and get the full 301... […]

The Summer of Logano continued last week at Richmond, as the Team Penske driver continued his charge into the Chase with a win at Richmond Raceway. Now the Cup Series heads to yet another short, flat track in New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon. New Hampshire is a 1.058-mile flat track and the last... […]
