Happy Tuesday, RotoBaller Family! After a rare swing-and-miss last week, my daughter suggested I only recommend players with a .275 batting average because they are “not the best hitters, but they can hit the ball, so maybe they can get a home run.”  Thankfully, I didn't take her advice and will use deeper analysis for...

It's time for our next edition of head-coaching rankings. This time, we'll talk ACC! The ACC has been "down" over the last few seasons, but that did not stop Miami from making the College Football Playoff and reaching the national championship game without a conference title win.

We're now done with the third week of preseason, and the regular season is getting even closer. Some teams, such as the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders, haven't named their starting quarterback yet, but it feels like there aren't as many QB1 battles as usual this year.

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.

There has been a lot of debate about whether fantasy football leagues should utilize the kicker position.

Try to get at least a couple of these cornerstone guys on your teams in 2026. This article takes us into the middle rounds of fantasy drafts, generally rounds 5-8. These guys come […]

Each year, many fantasy gamers make the mistake of largely ignoring the later rounds of their drafts. They wrongfully assume these picks are meaningless and don't put much effort into making them. What these managers fail to realize is that there are still a plethora of players in the latter stages of drafts who could […]

What looked like a possible snoozer on Sunday at the BMW Championship turned into something pretty compelling, as Wyndham Clark outlasted a charging leaderboard that caught him on the back nine.

This year's rookie running back class was, unfortunately, not anywhere close to that of 2025 in terms of talent. But that doesn't mean that none of them could be productive for fantasy football this season. Though they are very much the exception rather than the rule, late-round picks at any position can surprise and be […]

Unlike this year's rookie running back class, the group of WRs coming out of college and into the NFL is quite interesting, even in redraft fantasy football.

As a data-focused person, my bold predictions might be more medium spice than five-star picks. That said, these bold predictions for the 2026 fantasy football season have low-to-medium hit rates. For some of these players, there will be targets and avoids based on price and going against the grain.  Fantasy football is a game of […]

You can lose your fantasy draft in the first round, but you can't win it. That requires diving outside the top 24 at an individual position and finding hidden gems like Jaxon Smith-Njigba a year ago. Finding the formula is actually quite simple. First, we want target share -- and the higher, the better. Smith-Njigba's […]
