Offensive Line Rankings: Champs and Chumps

Quarterback Tiered Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

August is here and that means preseason football and fantasy football draft season is upon us. We here at RotoBaller have compiled our fantasy football staff rankings for 2019 and it's time to look at our quarterbacks. We're in quite the era for passing thanks to the league's rules and current talent, yet most drafts still see […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC East

In 2018, after writing some uninspiring articles prompting me to wonder if I was producing anything of value or simply parroting the same advice that most of the fantasy internet had already trumpeted, I challenged myself. Not in any sort of meaningful way, like losing the excess weight or teaching myself coding or something like […]

The King's FLEX Draft Review: Superflex Insights

Last week, at the SiriusXM Studios in New York City, I joined 11 other notable industry standouts for the annual FLEX (Fantasy League of Experts) drafts. I was part of the 12-team Superflex Draft, which is for all intents and purposes, an unofficial two QB league. The FLEX drafts were created by top fantasy expert […]

Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again

Players are supposed to make a leap in their second season, but the past few years have been littered with wide receivers who just...didn't. Kevin White. Devante Parker. Breshad Perriman. Corey Coleman. Josh Doctson. Laquon Treadwell. Without even looking past the first round, we've got a good list of disappointing football players. The 2018 wide […]

Michael Gallup - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Heading into your 2019 fantasy football draft, there are a number of sleepers to consider at various positions, but as we all know, finding the correct wide receiver sleeper can be a tall task based on the sheer number of players available at the position. This year, Michael Gallup of the Dallas Cowboys is a […]

Nick Mariano's 2019 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. […]

Michael Gallup (WR, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall Current ADP: ~160 While Amari Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, and Dak Prescott get all the attention, Gallup could emerge in his second NFL season. In his 2018 rookie campaign, Gallup averaged 5.4 yards after the catch, which placed him in the top 23 percent of the league. He also had an aDoT […]

Kenyan Drake Sees Work In The Return Game

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake worked with wide receiver Isaiah Ford fielding kickoffs during practice on Tuesday with wide receiver Jakeem Grant dealing with an undisclosed injury. Fantasy owners hate seeing their player working on special teams or in the return game, as there is the potential of getting hurt without the reward of […]

Mike Gesicki Shows Well In Camp On Tuesday

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been uneven during training camp so far, according to beat writer Adam Beasley. However, he had a very good day of practice on Tuesday, making multiple grabs, including a touchdown. Gesicki is locked into the starting tight end job in South Florida, but currently he should be slotted […]

Dwayne Allen Able To Get To Work On Tuesday

Miami Dolphins tight end Dwayne Allen (knee) has been limited due to a knee injury, but he was finally able to take part in his first 11-on-11 work of training camp on Tuesday. Allen was fairly productive in five seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, including career highs of 45 grabs, 521 yards and 66 targets […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Expected To Start Preseason Opener

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores indicated veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is likely to start Thursday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, not QB Josh Rosen. "I see Fitz going with the ones, but that could change. That's where I see it right now," Flores said. Rosen will also likely see plenty of playing time […]

Kalen Ballage (RB, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~150 I do expect this ADP to rise significantly as we get closer and closer to draft season since Ballage has been practicing with the starters in Miami, but I believe Kenyan Drake is still going to start the year as the starter. Once that becomes clear, Ballage's ADP […]

How to Value 2019 QB/RB Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

Dynasty franchises don't restart, they reload. Rookie drafts are meant to continually infuse youth to rosters and introduce the next generation of fantasy stars. Although this year wasn't rife with immediately impactful players at quarterback or running back, there is still value to be had if you know where to look. It's equally important for […]

How to Value 2019 WR/TE Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

The dynasty world predictably revolves around youth. Often, draft picks are valued more than productive veteran players. For some, this is viewed as a practical way to build for the future. For others, it's just a matter of valuing talent and potential over all else. It's called Shiny New Toy syndrome. Regardless of the reason, […]

Spencer Aguiar's 2019 QB Projections and Rankings

I believe all leagues are different and understanding the rules and settings will always be the deciding factor, but an interesting dichotomy has taken place recently of when it is acceptable to draft your quarterback. I am of the mindset, like most people nowadays, that waiting is better, but are we beginning to reach a […]

Josh Rosen Improving

Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen has reportedly made some improvements as the team’s training camp rolls on. “I think he’s made some improvement, really across the board” head coach Brian Flores said, before adding “There’s things that a lot of people don’t see. Better footwork, mechanics in the pocket, decision-making.” The sophomore quarterback will begin […]

Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR

Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]

Rookie Dynasty ADP Showdown: Hakeem Butler vs Andy Isabella

A tale of two rookies on the same team. Neither one will have much value this season. But which one should you trust more for the future of your dynasty team? The Draft stock of these two players is quite different. Not only because of where they went, but also how they got there. While […]

Must-Own Breakout Running Backs with Late ADP

As fantasy football drafts get later and later, it gets more and more difficult to figure out who you should pick. Some people respond to this by saying "ehh, I'll just do whatever and figure things out on the waiver wire." And, well...yes, you're going to need to figure things out on the waiver wire […]

Jakeem Grant Gets Injured In Camp Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant grabbed the back of his leg during a drill and was seen walking slowly with the trainers afterwards on Wednesday. So far the severity of the injury is unknown and though Grant probably won't be a highly-owned wide receiver, it is worth noting that as a return specialist, the […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Winning Position Battle In Miami

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has the early edge over the newly acquired Josh Rosen for the team’s starting signal caller. “It’s pretty clear to me that Ryan Fitzpatrick is leading the way” according to head coach Brian Flores. Though the first-year coach specified that the competition isn’t over, the 36-year-old veteran is currently in […]

Kenyan Drake Limping In Camp

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was slow to get up after a collision in Tuesday's practice and was seen limping to the sidelines. So far, there hasn't been an official statement on the extent of the injury, but we will continue to update as news comes out. Drake hasn't been the starter so far […]

Kalen Ballage Left Field With Trainers

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage left Monday's training camp with the trainers. There is no official word yet on what exactly happened but so far the speculation is that it is a concussion. Ballage has been looking like the lead back in Miami so far this training camp and Kenyan Drake was also injured […]

Dynasty Discounts - Cheap Veterans In Dynasty Drafts

Building a dynasty team is a lot like building literally any physical thing you can build. Whether we're talking about a house or a car or that model airplane that's been sitting in your garage for like 10 years now, you have the flashy parts that everyone sees and then the integral, invisible parts. No […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Impresses In Camp

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was impressive in the second day of training camp. Fitzpatrick threw a 45 yard touchdown to Brice Butler as well as a 35 yard pass deep down the sideline to Devante Parker. It's going to be a competition between Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, who threw a touchdown himself on Friday, […]

Kenyan Drake Not Starting In Camp

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was not the starter in training camp on Friday. Kalen Ballage was given the start and was taking the first and second down reps with the starters, while Kenyan Drake worked the third downs. Through the first two days of training camp, it certainly looks like Ballage is entering […]

Kalen Ballage Taking Starting Reps Again Friday

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage was seen practicing with the starters again on Friday. Though training camp has just started, the 6'2" 238lb running back looks like he has overtaken Kenyan Drake as the primary running back. It will obviously take more time in camp to figure out the roster, but it's worth noting […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Leading Battle For Starting Role

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick continued to impress on the first day of training camp and remains in the lead over second-year passer Josh Rosen in the battle for the team's starting quarterback role. In terms of fantasy impact, Fitzpatrick being Miami's starter is more appealing than Rosen getting the job, as Fitzpatrick has a […]
