With today’s NFL, where more teams than ever are utilizing the dreaded running-back-by-committee approach to their rushing attacks, fantasy football managers are harder-pressed than ever before to get their hands on workhorse running backs who never get off the field.

Everyone has their favorite approach to drafting their teams in this wonderful game of fantasy football. The fact that each year is so different makes it even more challenging (and fun) to get into it. The expansion of types of games and league sizes, and community efforts like the Scott Fish Bowl and the Fantasy […]

In this piece, we will spotlight some of the top "league-winners" you can find within these parts of the draft from members of our RotoBaller fantasy football staff, including Adam Koffler, Nick Mariano, Andy […]

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 […]

What the heck is a Post-Hype Breakout? For this piece, we will define a Post-Hype Breakout as a player who was either over-drafted the prior year (or years) or has simply been forgotten by time, but is now ready to break out in a big way. A fantastic exercise during fantasy draft season is to […]

We already covered which teams will have the toughest road to glory this year. What about the inverse? We're only going to cover Power 4 teams since the schedules for Group of 6 teams are inherently easier. Believe it or not, there are teams in power conferences who only play one or two ranked teams.

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 […]

The 2026 NFL season is just weeks away as fantasy managers gear up for their championship season.

Sure, I like playing fantasy football, but my real favorite pastime is saying that I was right all along. Fantasy preseason is rife with chances to do exactly that, provided you’re willing to take a few calculated risks. During preseason last year, I was particularly high on later-round gems like Harold Fannin Jr. (PPR TE6), […]

Few players can earn the title of "league-winner" in fantasy football, but that select group will be the ones to crown royalty. Sometimes it boils down to investing in a scary health situation, pulling up a key rookie, or reading into a new offensive environment (coaching, talent, scheduling, etc.) that others haven't adjusted enough for. […]

The 2026 season is quickly approaching as fantasy football managers gear up for their drafts. While most managers focus on early round players and maybe a few deep sleepers, the ones who win leagues dominate the mid-rounds. Last season, finding players like Javonte Williams, Drake Maye, and even Michael Wilson late in the season likely […]

You have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Some rookie receivers hit right away, and some fantasy managers must learn how to be patient as new opportunities become available as the league calendar flips from one month to another. It’s easy to go on a limb and say Carnell […]

Breakouts win leagues. Fantasy football differs from other sports in the sense that a few players really can make-or-break your week and season. It is not like baseball, where you want to build a deep team to compete over a very long season. In football, the lineup is smaller, and the scoring is more big-play […]
