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 […]

Earlier this week, I wrote about wide receivers who stand to benefit this season as a result of roster turnover in the offseason. Now, it's time to look at the tight ends and running backs who could also see an uptick in usage in 2026. We tend to focus on targets and air yards for […]

Running back handcuffs can provide outsized contingent upside in fantasy football leagues when their starter goes down with an injury. They can also surprise by siphoning some of the workload of the starter when they're underperforming. Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson, Los Angeles Chargers tailback Keaton Mitchell, and Houston Texans RB Woody Marks […]

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.

Week 1 is where college fantasy football gets uncomfortable fast. A month of camp reports gives way to actual depth charts, transfer-heavy offenses finally take the field, and some of the players nobody wanted to draft suddenly become usable because of one good matchup. That is the idea here. Every player below is rostered in […]

It's an exciting time for NFL fans as Week 1 is a few days away. At RotoBaller HQ, we have been generating rankings every day to help fantasy managers prepare for their upcoming fantasy football drafts.

Even if you're already done with your Best-Ball drafts or other early drafts, there's still a pretty good chance that you have some leagues drafting this weekend. Everyone has their favorite way to approach drafts, […]

Toughest schedules are hard to gauge. They are all subjective, based on a ranking system that is biased toward teams that did well the previous season or toward teams that are traditionally good. Don't even get me started on the conference bias. Nine SEC teams are ranked in the AP top 25. Five are in […]

I decided to leave this article for Thursday this week instead of Wednesday because we have a bigger night slate tonight. We have some elite options to choose from, and a slate where one pitcher will garner a ton of roster spots in a spot I don't love. Let's dig in. If you have not... […]

Running back handcuffs are always the subject of intense debate in fantasy football circles. Picking the right ones early on can pay off handsomely -- for example, in 2023, it was a great idea to grab Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams off the waiver wire before or after Week 1. He had a huge […]

DraftKings took the same approach as the Thursday slate this week and avoided all FBS vs. FCS matchups. I don't blame them. It's hard for them to get accurate pricing on those teams and just as hard for us to pick them. This levels the field a little more. We have three ranked teams in […]

Week 0 gave us eight interesting games. We saw old faces in new places. Some fared better than others. We saw old faces in old places with predictably good results. The appetizer is over. Now we get into the heart of college football. There are 91 games spread out over the next five days. Only […]

September's right around the corner, and we're cruising to the finish. While most of the divisional races are seemingly decided, the wild card races continue to be absurd. In the National League, it's an NL West battle for the final spot with Arizona and San Diego neck-and-neck. In the American League, though? If you're still […]
