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; […]

Often, fantasy football managers put too much emphasis on hitting in the first couple of rounds of their drafts. While it is important to avoid early round busts, it’s nearly impossible to be crowned a champion without a little late-round help. With June now behind us, all 32 teams will begin their training camps in […]

The National Hockey League continues to expand. Over the past decade, fans have seen two new teams enter the league, including the Vegas Golden Knights and the Seattle Kraken. Additionally, the Arizona Coyotes recently moved to Utah and have rebranded to the Utah Mammoth. With the league growing in popularity, let's take a look at […]

Some carrots are just bent. Not bad, just bent. And yet, for generations, these bent carrots sat on produce shelves unwanted and unloved. Then, studies began to show that consumers were more willing to purchase even the wonkiest of fruits and vegetables after simply being told that they are just as nutritious as their prettier […]

Stashing prospects ahead of their MLB promotion can not only save you some of your FAAB budget, but also provide you with a potential lottery ticket. In this piece, we will look at two of the hottest bats at the Triple-A level and a budding ace who has put themselves firmly on the stash radar […]

These positions are reflected in the rankings […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! After a slower Thursday, it's time to dive back into a juicy Friday slate with every team in the MLB in action. The Brewers and Rockies play the only afternoon contest, with the rest of the 28 teams in action under the lights. Of the 14 night games, five are divisional tilts,... […]

Friday MLB slates are simply the best, hands down. Typically, we have the first game of a weekend series and all 30 teams in action. I'm usually jonesing for some good strikeout matchups after Thursdays, which are almost always some of the weakest slates of the week, and yesterday was no exception as we had... […]

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! After a lousy five-gamer that barely even warranted play, every team is once again in action for their weekend series, and the DFS sites will have 10-gamers that start at 7:05 EST. If that's not enough, there's even a small four-game slate at 6:40 that we can throw some GPPs in. Be... […]

With the NFL calendar turning its page from the 2025 season onto the 2026 season and with the NFL Draft and free agency now in the rearview mirror, it’s time to focus on the most recent fluctuations in the dynasty market, particularly that of the running back position. While many fantasy assets, especially those of […]

Tight end premium leagues reward extra points for receptions (and sometimes receiving yards) for TEs, evening the playing field a bit for the shallow position when compared to RBs and TEs. Big-name target hogs like Trey McBride and Brock Bowers are some of the most valuable players overall in these leagues, but middling tight ends […]

Superflex leagues have continued to gain steam in recent seasons, as the format puts a premium on the quarterback spot, which feels more like "real" NFL football. If you're beginning your 2QB draft prep, you have come to the right place. Below, see our full top 300 superflex fantasy football draft rankings for 2026. All starting quarterbacks, […]

College fantasy football has been around, but it's quickly gaining popularity thanks to the launch of Yahoo leagues! They don't include all 138 FBS teams, but we do get 68 teams to choose from between the Power 4 Conferences and Notre Dame.  This is a new wrinkle to veterans of NFL fantasy football, so we're […]

We're now in the stretch run, as the second half has begun. We're starting to see struggling stars with strong […]

Who doesn't love a good hot take, right? Sometimes it feels like we get a lot more of those in the industry these days than we get well-researched, data-driven takeaways. I've always tried to trend towards the latter, but I'll admit that they are a lot more boring and a lot less fun! With the […]

Cincinnati Bengals top target Ja'Marr Chase is the No. 1-ranked wide receiver in dynasty fantasy football leagues heading into the upcoming NFL season. Case closed. And why shouldn’t Chase be numero uno? In the last two seasons, he has racked up 252 receptions for 3,120 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns. He led the league in […]

Your Google or Outlook calendar is now displaying the month of July, which obviously means that the preseason for fantasy football has started. From a fantasy perspective, that means we have arrived at our version of training camp, in the weeks before most players do the bulk of their drafting. Of course, many high-stakes players […]

During the first half of the season, managers saw many unexpected players not only emerge as top waiver-wire picks and late-round draft steals, but also exceed expectations in major ways. However, even though they turned in a dominant first half, that doesn't mean they will maintain it going forward. Last summer, managers thought James Wood […]

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 […]

Every year, there are a handful of players who put up video game numbers. At times each season, it feels like if you do not have one of those players, you are not going to win. Everyone is chasing those players who can truly lap the competition at their position, like what Trey McBride did […]

Targeting emerging relievers before they take over the ninth inning cannot only save you ample FAAB budget, but potentially provide you with near double-digit saves. Below, we will look at six relief pitchers who have seen their fantasy value increase over the past week of MLB action and determine if they are worthy waiver wire […]

This article is back for the third year in a row. Alvin Kamara and Javonte Williams were hits in the 2025 edition, while Joe Mixon and James Conner were not so much (but that was mostly due to injury). As always, with many of my articles, I won't highlight the obvious players who fit the […]

Over the opening months of the 2026 season, managers have seen many prospects make a massive impact for fantasy, such as Parker Messick, Payton Tolle, Henry Bolte and Carson Benge. Below, we will look at two emerging pitching prospects at the Triple-A level and a top stash for power upside. Should fantasy managers stash these […]
