Six Intriguing Position Battles and What They Mean for Fantasy Football

Although NFL training camp and preseason activities may seem like a low-action time period, they are the nitpicking fuel for fantasy football analysis. Training camp battles are monitored closely to see who has a firm grip on their role and who could swoop in and become a fantasy-relevant asset. As a result, we sometimes hype up […]

Spice Up Your Dynasty League - Rule Changes

Playing fantasy football can be equated to swimming in the ocean. Some players like to dip their toes in and play redraft leagues, some may even get ankle high and add DFS to their yearly and weekly portfolio. For those who like to dive in head first with reckless abandoned and be consumed with fantasy […]

RotoBaller Standard Mock Draft Analysis - Round One

Hallelujah, we’ve officially entered fantasy draft season! Even though it’s a good idea to focus on the here and now when it comes to players and their average draft position (ADP), I personally love looking back at earlier mock draft results to see how values have shifted. The preseason is rife with player progress, setbacks, and […]

What it Takes to Succeed (or Fail) at QB, Part 2 - Death Knell Stats

Quarterback is the most important position in football, and as the league turns more towards a dominant passing attack, the QB has risen up the list of priorities of fantasy managers as well. In part one of this series, I described the reality of the growing prominence of the fantasy quarterback and explained the shell […]

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons came together perfectly last season. Everything seemed to be going their way, both on the actual gridiron and in fantasy football. After scoring the seventh-most points in league history, the Falcons made it to the Super Bowl, only to collapse at the last second thanks to everybody’s least favorite team, the New […]

What it Takes to Succeed (or Fail) at QB - Introduction

The NFL is a passing league: this mantra has been repeated with increasing intensity ever since the middle of the last decade.  The fantasy quarterback has continuously grown as the foundation by which many championship rosters are built.  Instead of being an afterthought to running backs and wide receivers, quarterbacks have increased in prominence with […]

Nick Mariano's PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. It'd be nice if we could avoid the word "sleeper" because it feels as though it has lost its meaning over the years, but SEO practices and the language of the fantasy landscape demands it. I believe it's important for each article to spell out […]

2017 Late Round Fliers for Fantasy Football Drafts (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. A good fantasy football player has a specific plan of attack for the later rounds of a draft. These aren't throw away picks. Or at least, they don't have to be if you study up and have an idea about which players have a […]

Best-Ball Sleepers - Who to Target Past Round 10 in MFL10 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. I like to view best ball leagues as two 10-round drafts. In the first "draft" you are picking proven players who can carry you week to week and present lower risk. There isn't a ton of value to be found here as most players […]

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders come into this season as one of the favorites to challenge the Patriots in the AFC, and according to David Purdum of ESPN, the Raiders have received the most Super Bowl bets at some Las Vegas sportsbooks. Their odds have gone from 20-1 to 6-1, at some casinos. They finished last season […]

RotoBaller PPR Mock Draft Recap - Rounds 2-3

Hallelujah, we’ve officially entered fantasy football draft season!

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers, along with a handful of other teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, have consistently been front and center in the fantasy universe for the past eight or nine years.

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Houston Texans

At first glance, the 2017 Houston Texans don't look like a fantasy football powerhouse. Despite making the playoffs last season, the team finished 29th in both passing yards and total yards. Behind quarterback Brock Osweiler, the team struggled to move the ball, struggled to score, and struggled to avoid turnovers. In 2017, though, Osweiler is […]

Fantasy Football Auction Values Analysis - PPR Leagues

Auctions really don't get enough love. I am so much more excited for my auction drafts than I am for my snake drafts. There are a handful of players I am way more bullish on than consensus (which you'll see later on in this analysis) and in an auction, I know I have full control over […]

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Carolina Panthers

2017 is an odd year, which means the Carolina Panthers should be good. They've improved their win total by at least four games in each odd year of the Ron Rivera era. The Panthers are 27-5 in the past two odd years. While the odd/even year theory is most likely just coincidence, it's hard to imagine […]

Jared Goff (QB, LAR) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Jared Goff had about as much fantasy value last season as Tim Tebow had. Maybe less. Goff did not quiet any doubters who thought the Los Angeles Rams were crazy to take him with the first overall pick of the 2016 NFL draft. He did not strap on a helmet until the second half of […]

Fantasy Spin - Jay Cutler Signs with Miami

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, forsaking a cushy job in the Fox analyst booth to reunite with former OC Adam Gase. He should step in right away as the starter, after acclimating himself to the offense and personnel in training camp. Meanwhile, […]

Pay Up! - Auction Draft Strategies

I did my first auction draft back in 2010. It was an unmitigated disaster. I had gone into the draft very familiar with player values and I refused to overspend. I ended up with a fantastic team...if you could start every player on a 16-man roster! The All-Value team failed spectacularly because everyone was good, […]
