Week 2 of fantasy football is upon us, and we can begin to extrapolate trends from last season based on Week 1 performances. Week 1 provided serious fireworks, more so than usual. Many offenses were in midseason form, which is great for fantasy teams. Week 1 also provided a glimpse into how ready NFL defenses […]

The fantasy football season got off to a high-scoring start in Week 1, and several teams were especially impressive with new-look or overhauled offenses. While there weren't many running back injuries, several spots stood out as places to find value as teams rotate running backs through as part of a timeshare at the position. With […]

Welcome to the Wednesday after Week 1, the time to victory-lap your initially successful sleepers and breakouts while panicking about the busts. Week 1 is a time to watch for usage and opportunities.

Week 1 was our annual reminder that NFL head coaches don't care about fantasy football … at all.

Two weeks is enough to make the board look very different from the one we had in August. Preseason depth charts still matter, but actual carries, targets, and quarterback usage matter more now. A few lightly rostered players have already turned good camp stories into jobs we can trust. Week 3 also gives us different […]

The middle and late rounds of a fantasy basketball draft are where category needs begin to matter more than name value. A manager who leaves the early rounds short on assists or steals cannot fix the problem by simply drafting the next familiar scorer. The better move is to find guards whose roles and statistical […]

Did the high-scoring action from Week 1 make you feel alive?! Although we can't simply take one set of box scores and extrapolate the entire year, there is still intel to be gleaned and priors to adjust. We saw several double-digit fantasy performances from kickers; I count 12 by standard scoring measures going into Monday […]

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 […]

As if Week 1 wasn't crazy enough, Week 2 brought it as well. The Ohio State and Texas game was everything we thought it would be and more. Two more FCS teams won over FBS teams. The crazy part is that both of them were favored. A top-10 team fell to an unranked opponent, and […]

Who is the best team ever? Since college football began in 1869, not one person has seen every championship team play. The ambiguity of early polls sometimes crowned several champions per season. The AP Poll in 1936 helped to alleviate that, but there were still issues. Issues that still aren't completely resolved. When I was […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 1 is officially in the books, which means it's time to turn our attention to Week 2.

Below, we will […]
