Le'Veon Bell - Still a Fantasy First-Rounder?

We are largely in uncharted territory when it comes to Le'Veon Bell. If there has been a previous instance of an elite player sitting out a full season and changing teams, I'm not aware of it. We last saw Bell play football in 2017. As a Steeler, Bell benefited from one of the league's best offensive […]

Christian McCaffrey Hopes Stats Equal More Wins

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey flirted with becoming just the third player in NFL history with at least 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in a single season, but he fell just short with 1,098 rushing yards and 867 receiving yards. He is pleased with the stats, but hopes it translates into more wins. […]

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB is #1 in Rookie Drafts?

This year's rookie class didn't feature an undisputed 1.01 player like 2018 did with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who was a unique talent who led to people selling their entire dynasty teams and possibly their firstborn child to draft him. That paid off, but this year doesn't feature someone you should go all […]

The Rotoballer crew recently finished up an early mock draft. As with every draft, there are going to be instances of guys going too early or too late. This is all about those guys that we got a little too overzealous on when we grabbed them. You could have got them in the next round […]

Le'Veon Bell Skipping OTAs

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell, cornerback Trumaine Johnson and safety Jamal Adams were all absent at organized team activities on Tuesday. Bell was in attendance at last week's mandatory minicamp, but he's gone missing again during OTAs, as expected. Bell wants to work out on his terms with his trainers as he's done […]

Miles Sanders Won't Practice At Minicamp

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) will not practice at minicamp this week. Sanders hasn't practiced at all during the team's spring activities, which is notable for a rookie. He's behind the ball as of now and coupled with the club's happiness with Jordan Howard as a multi-talented running back, Sanders' stock is […]

Eagles Sticking With Committee Approach In Backfield

Philadelphia Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley said the team will continue to function with a running-back-by-committee approach. "To have the type of backfield we have now, we’re going to share the ball and these guys understand that," Staley said. The team traded for Jordan Howard and drafted Miles Sanders, but they will share touches […]

Fantasy Football Burning Questions - AFC West

Our advance Fantasy Football divisional preview series of important questions to tackle continues in the AFC West.

Who's #1 in Redraft Leagues?

You want the first overall pick in your draft. Even if you think you don't, you do. Historical data supports that the higher you pick, the more likely you are to win. Sometimes, having the first overall pick makes things easy. In 2017, David Johnson was the obvious top pick. In 2015 and 2013, it […]

The Grass Isn't Always Greener - Free Agents Fantasy Fallers

Every season we see several fantasy relevant players switch teams. With free agency occurring in March, the instant reaction is there, but it doesn't always hold. It is important to reanalyze those moves later in the offseason, particularly after the NFL Draft. Now that it is June, we have a much better idea of how […]

Jets Re-Sign Bilal Powell

The New York Jets re-signed running back Bilal Powell to an undisclosed deal on Friday. Powell will get to stick with the only team he's been with since being drafted in the fourth round back in 2011. He played in just seven games in 2018 due to a serious neck injury, rushing 80 times for […]

Bilal Powell Working Out For Jets

The New York Jets worked out free-agent running back Bilal Powell on Friday, according to a source. Powell is working his way back from a serious neck injury but has been cleared. Powell spent eight years with the Jets before becoming a free agent this offseason. He had just 80 carries for 343 yards and […]

Rashaad Penny Loses Weight

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny, the team's first-round pick in 2018, has lost weight this offseason and is feeling great. Penny is also being mentored by Hall of Fame running back and fellow San Diego State alumni Marshall Faulk. The 23-year-old Penny showed signs of being a stud in his rookie season, running 85 […]

Todd Gurley Says He's Not Hurt

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley told NFL Network analyst and Rams radio color commentator Maurice Jones-Drew this week that he's not hurt, but Jones-Drew said the team is planning to use Gurley less in 2019 in order to keep him fresh all year. "I think you can expect (22 touches per game). But […]

The Grass IS Greener - Free Agent Fantasy Risers

The NFL Free Agency period is one of the most exciting times of the year for NFL fans. Outside of the NFL Draft, there really isn't a lot to be excited about as an NFL fan. If you're a dynasty football fan, this is an extremely fun time of year. 2019 was no exception when […]

Nyheim Hines Wants 1,000 Yards From Scrimmage

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines' goal for the 2019 season is 1,000 yards from scrimmage. He carried the ball 85 times for 314 ards and caught 63 passes for 425 yards in his rookie season. Only T.Y. Hilton and Eric Ebron had more receptions than Hines last year, but with both Marlon Mack and […]

Samaje Perine Impressing This Spring

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that running back Samaje Perine has been the most impressive back in spring practices. The 23-year-old was active for only five games in 2018 and had eight rushing attempts after running the ball 175 times for 603 yards and a score in his rookie season. Ball-security issues have […]

Kenneth Dixon Back At Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon flashed his lateral movement at practice on Thursday. Dixon has been a forgotten man in Baltimore's backfield after the addition of Mark Ingram in free agency and Justice Hill in the draft, but Dixon finished off the year strong in 2018 and remains in the running back rotation. However, […]

Sony Michel Remains Out Of Practice

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel hasn't been spotted at an offseason practice since May 20, and the reason is unclear. It is starting to get concerning, especially since Michel has a history of knee issues. The 24-year-old ran the ball 209 times for 931 yards and six touchdowns in 13 games in an […]

Phillip Lindsay Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Phillip Lindsay (wrist) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in July. He's been limited to individual drills in spring practices as he recovers from a wrist injury he suffered on Christmas Eve. “I feel like I’m very close,” Lindsay said. […]

Adrian Peterson Aiming For 2,000 Yards

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson said he is aiming for 2,000 yards in 2019. It will be a tall task for the veteran running back heading into his 13th season, even after he ran for 1,042 yards in 2018. Peterson will be 34 years old this season and became the fifth player to rush […]

Gus Edwards Leaner And More Powerful

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards is leaner and more powerful as he enters the 2019 season. He said he weighs the same as last year, but his body is trimmer and he is down to six percent body fat from nine percent in 2018. Edwards was the team's most productive runner in the second […]

Let It Go! Players We Need to Finally Drop in Dynasty

If there's one thing I'm guilty of in fantasy football, it's holding onto players in dynasty leagues way, way beyond the point where I should have just dropped them. Sometimes, I'm rewarded by being able to start Wendell Smallwood during a time where the rest of my team is injured, but usually the result is […]
