San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is the first major injury to fall in training camp, which immediately shakes up his fantasy value. Pearsall didn't miss a single game in his collegiate career due to injury, but his path to fantasy football relevance has been rocky, and the latest injury further complicates his outlook. […]

Rookies are some of the most important players in fantasy football. In dynasty leagues, they drive rookie drafts and shape the future of a roster. In redraft leagues, they frequently become league-winning picks by beating their ADP or emerging as impact waiver wire additions. Even with more fantasy football content than ever in 2026, rookies […]

Running backs are perhaps the most important position to nail in fantasy drafts. Elite options are scarce, and the best backs are very consistent, providing your fantasy team with much less volatility than wide receivers. A strong running back stable can make or break your season. Given the scarcity of solid options at the position, […]

Multiple factors should determine the viability of incorporating a Zero RB approach as you consider strategies to address the position in upcoming drafts. This underscores the importance of creating a flexible plan that helps you adjust to developments that emerge during the draft process. That could include targeting players from other positions if managers in […]

The 2026 NFL season is fast approaching. Fantasy football draft prep is heating up, meaning it's time to dive into my league-losing picks for the upcoming year. Last season, I listed Nico Collins, Brock Bowers, Breece Hall, Jameson Williams, and Courtland Sutton as landmines to avoid. While not all of those players were "league-losing picks," […]

Most agree there are three elite tight ends in fantasy football this season, but I would even push it to four. Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Colston Loveland, and Tyler Warren are all deserving of an early-round pick, but what happens after that? This means in a 12-team league, only 30 percent of the teams will […]

Year in and year out, fantasy football managers are hoping to hit it big during their rookie drafts to gain a leg up on the competition. For some rookies, an impact occurs instantaneously; for some, they become late-season league winners, and for most, they are still a year away from making an impact. Last season, […]

Fantasy football is easy when you draft the right players, right? Of course, especially in the first few rounds of your drafts. These 3-4 players lay the foundation for your team's success. However, not all players in those first few rounds are "good" picks. As I always say, it's not that these players are bad; […]

It's so heartbreaking when you draft a fantasy football player highly, convinced that they will produce like their usual selves, and then they go on to have an extremely disappointing season. But there's always the potential for a glorious rebound. Naturally, whenever a player is coming off a down year, their fantasy value goes down, […]

With the 2026-27 NHL season fast approaching following the conclusion of free agency, it's a good time to think about some of the worst free agent signings in history. In this column, we're going to dive into each NHL team's worst free agent signing of all-time. So, without further ado, let's get right into it. […]

The term league-winner will be tossed around during the fantasy football offseason. Sometimes, it's a buzzy term that we can overuse. However, when we think of league-winning players, we should consider those that we wish we had on our rosters. Some of these wide receivers had down seasons last year, so it's a chance to […]

Injuries can ruin careers in professional sports. Often, players are beyond productive when on the field but see their opportunities significantly hindered by injuries. In this ranking, we will name one player from each team who has either seen the "prime" of their career limited or the longevity of their career hindered due to serious […]

The resurgence of running backs in fantasy football was clear in 2025 and will have a major impact on fantasy football managers in 2026. However, NFL teams have also gotten better (and smarter) at splitting their backfields to keep players fresh and maximize efficiency. Identifying and attacking those edges is a way for fantasy managers […]

We're in the sprint to the finish line now, and gathering bullpen arms all season is part of your job as a fantasy manager. At this point, you should know where you stand in most leagues and what you might need to add this week before the sprint to the finish line of the season. […]

The last thing a fantasy football general manager wants is a running back who racks up yards between the 20-yard lines but hands the scoring opportunities inside the red zone off to a tailback teammate who eventually scores all the touchdowns. Rushing yards are a huge help, especially in leagues that give you bonuses when […]

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! Last night was quite the dud; I whiffed on all my picks, and Canning didn't end up starting the game, which killed my Mickey Moniak play. We have 10 games on the slate for us today, and hopefully we get a good shot to rebound massively!  I have four spots on deck... […]
