All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. With the NFL Draft completed, the fantasy football community was hungry for instantly revised outlooks and evaluations. So SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio hosted a Post-NFL Draft Fantasy Football Experts Draft early this week. I drafted from the No. 6 slot of 12, which I […]

Falcons Decline Takkarist McKinley's Fifth-Year Option

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley announced on Twitter that the team declined his fifth-year option on Wednesday. Head coach Dan Quinn had said back in February that the Falcons wouldn't be picking up McKinley's fifth-year option. The 26th overall pick in 2017, McKinley hasn't lived up to expectations and is coming off shoulder surgery […]

Falcons Draft A Punter in the Seventh Round

The Atlanta Falcons have selected Syracuse punter Sterling Hofrichter with the No. 228 pick during the seventh round. He's coming off a 2019 season where he punted 69 times for 3,026 yards for a career-high of 43.9 average yards per punt. Hofrichter has four years of experience and an incredibly strong leg, so this isn't […]

Falcons Bring In Safety Help With Jaylinn Hawkins

The Atlanta Falcons have selected California safety Jaylinn Hawkins with the No. 134 selection in the fourth round. He's a distinctive playmaker with solid ball skills and quickness in coverage. Hawkins recorded 53 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and two sacks during the 2019 season. He most likely won't start right away in 2020, but […]

Falcons Add Linebacker Depth With Mykal Walker

The Atlanta Falcons added more depth to their defense by drafting Fresno State linebacker Mykal Walker at pick No. 119. Walker is a solid off-the-ball linebacker who plays downhill in the run game. He has good athleticism that allows him to play sideline-to-sideline. His coverage skills could use work and relegate him to a backup […]

Falcons Go With Matt Hennessy At No. 78

The Atlanta Falcons selected Temple offensive lineman Matt Hennessy with the No. 78 overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Friday. Hennessy is very agile for a center and has great balance at the pivot. The 6-foot-4, 307-pounder will need to add strength as he matures at the next level, […]

Marlon Davidson Heading To Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons used the 47th overall pick in the second round on Auburn defensive lineman Marlon Davidson. Davidson played defensive end in college, but at 303 pounds he'll slide to defensive tackle in the NFL. Davidson is a powerful player who should immediately help a Falcons defensive unit that has struggled against the run. […]

Falcons Stay Put And Add A.J. Terrell

The Atlanta Falcons selected Clemson cornerback A.J. Terrell with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. Terrell had a 29-1 record as a starter at Clemson and had some really strong games in college against the best competition in big games. He has length and recovery speed, but he could […]

RotoBaller Staff Mock NFL Draft - Team-by-Team Projections

Now that the RotoBaller staff has finished their three-round mock draft, it's time to take a look at which team addressed the majority of its biggest needs. We asked each drafter to comment on the relative success of the three-round haul. As a reminder, we decided to prevent any trades and there is a short rationale […]

2020 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

With the NFL Draft just one week away, smokescreen season is upon us. Most mock drafters agree on the top three picks, but the draft gets fascinating at pick No. 4.  The Giants could trade the pick to a team looking for a quarterback or sit tight and take the best offensive lineman or defensive […]

Early 2020 Sleepers: Wide Receiver

The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it […]

Falcons Trying To Move Up For Chase Young?

The Atlanta Falcons have been aggressive this week in calling teams inside the top 10 in the first round, including trying to get all the way up to No. 2 in order to select Ohio State defensive end Chase Young. It's no secret that the Falcons want to move up from No. 16 overall, most […]

Falcons Could Trade Up For Offensive Tackle

The Atlanta Falcons have done the groundwork and have talked to several teams inside the top 10 picks in the first round about trading up on Thursday night. Most everyone assumes that Atlanta would be moving up to select a cornerback in the top 10, but the Falcons have also done video interviews with multiple […]

Gronk and Brady Reunited in Tampa Bay

Just two days before the 2020 NFL Draft was set to get underway, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stole the headlines and made a splash by trading for former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. He insisted that he wouldn't play for any quarterback other than Tom Brady, so the move to Tampa fulfilled his wish. When […]

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Quarterbacks

If you're a loyal RotoBaller reader, you know we strive to give you the edge no matter the fantasy sport you happen to be playing. Just a few weeks ago I took another step and introduced three metrics for fantasy football: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea […]

Falcons Talking To Teams Inside Top 10

The Atlanta Falcons continue to be the team to watch on Thursday night when it comes to moving up in the first round of the draft. They have talked with teams well inside the top 10 picks and look to be ready to make a big jump up from No. 16 via a trade. Cornerback […]

Falcons Want To Trade Up For Cornerback

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff wants to trade up for one of the top two cornerbacks in this year's draft. It's the worst-kept secret in draft rooms around the league this year. Florida's C.J. Henderson and Ohio State's Jeff Okudah are the top two corners this year, and the Falcons may just move up […]

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Rams

It was a disappointing year for the Rams as we saw regression across the board from the offense. Jared Goff looked lost at times and the running game behind Todd Gurley II struggled to gain traction. Now with key players gone, can the offense rebound to what we were once used to? Will the NFL […]

Wide Receiver Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

The Best-Ball draft process continues to escalate, at a time in which owners are searching for any form of fantasy football that can be embraced. The enticement of being able to build a roster that will not require in-season management also adds incentive to participate in this format. The team at RotoBaller has just updated our […]

Are Rookie Receivers Trustworthy in Redraft Leagues?

When I started planning this article, it reminded me of a draft I had last year in a very deep league. It was a re-draft league and a guy drafted Emanuel Hall, a Missouri receiver with 4.39 speed, signed to the Bucs a few days prior. Sure, it was a deep league, the Bucs' offense […]

Brian Hill Signs Tender Offer

Atlanta Falcons restricted free-agent running back Brian Hill signed his original-round tender on Saturday. Hill will make $2.144 million in 2020, but he's pushed further down the depth chart with Todd Gurley now in town. The former fifth-round pick in 2017 had 78 rushing attempts for 323 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, […]

Breakouts happen every season for fantasy football. Sometimes they are expected and other times they are complete surprises.

Falcons Look Poised To Trade Up In Draft

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: TE Return On Investment

No matter which type of person you are. No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into. No matter what, you're looking for market inefficiencies.
