Kalen Ballage Rushes Four Times in Preseason Win
Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage rushed four times for 25 yards in the Dolphins' 34-7 preseason win over the Falcons. Ballage hadn't played in the last two preseason games, but was featured in a game that did not heavily feature the Dolphins' starters. The fourth-round pick is clearly behind both Kenyan Drake and Frank […]
Rashawn Scott Carted Off Field
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Rashawn Scott (ankle) was carted off the field in the preseason finale against the Falcons on Thursday with an ankle injury. This obviously looks to be a serious injury, but check back later for more updates. Scott wasn't a lock to make the 53-man roster, as he has been battling with […]
Marlon Mack (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target ~80 CURRENT ADP: ~95 ANALYSIS: After being hyped considerably as a rookie, Marlon Mack acted as a complementary option to veteran Frank Gore for the majority of the 2017 season. With Gore moving on to the Miami Dolphins, the backfield has been Mack's to lose as he's competed against Nyheim Hines, Robert Turbin […]
Phillip Dorsett (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 CURRENT ADP: ~270 ANALYSIS: At the start of 2017, Dorsett was traded to the Patriots in exchange for Jacoby Brissett. Colts clearly won this trade as Brissett kept the team respectable, even with a terrible record, and Dorsett sat behind a lot of other players until injuries opened up playing time but without […]
Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - AFC South
In lieu of a fun, clever fantasy football related story to get you excited about the AFC South, the best division I've covered so far in this series, I'll simply show you an email I received from my grandmother, who was giving my mother fantasy football advice. Before reading, take a second and think about […]
To Draft or Not to Draft, That is the Question - Wide Receivers
Before we get started, I want to give a special thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey of writing: my wife, in-laws, friends, and all the great people I’ve met in the sports industry. The RotoBaller group represents some of those fine people, as they have been nothing but considerate and […]
Rookie Rankings and Draft Analysis
Selecting which rookies to invest in can be a major headache for fantasy owners. Early on it is really tough to know what role a rookie will have early or whether his game can translate from college. At least now we can see roughly what role rookies are expected to have with their teams in […]
Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Pierre Camus
Next up to bat, stepping up the plate... wait, wrong sport. I've been all in on football for the past month or so between drafts, mocks, rankings, and stalking Josh Gordon's Twitter feed, but I am a baseball junkie too (and football and hockey and soccer and table tennis and rugby and anything that resembles […]
Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Kyle Richardson
I love bold predictions. I have always had two schools of thought on this. Bold predictions could happen. A long-shot, sure, but still possible. Hot takes are even more unlikely to happen. While you are reading this article, keep in mind these predictions probably won’t come true, but there is an outside chance they could […]
Last-Minute Draft Strategies
Lucky Fantasy Players! Why are you lucky? Because it's draft time. Is there a better time of the season? It's like Friday night with the whole weekend ahead of us. Or the first day of an amazing vacation. And most of you will screw it up. Let me guess, you're going to draft best value […]
Tales From the Turn - Managing Snake Drafts With a Late Pick
I did a few mocks recently in preparation for a long-running league I won last season. 10 teams, ESPN standard scoring; nothing fancy just a group of buddies who started it to find more reasons to watch football together. The casual nature of the league has extended itself to the draft prep process, especially since […]
Brock Osweiler A Cut Candidate
Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler is a slight underdog to David Fales for the backup role. He's a candidate to be cut when rosters are trimmed to 53 players on Saturday. Osweiler has flamed out in Houston, Cleveland and now possibly Miami. His career is running on fumes at this point.
Adam Gase Wants Kenyan Drake To Be Bell-Cow Back
Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase believes in running back Kenyan Drake and wants to keep him heavily involved in the offense on a week-to-week basis. “You’d love to get in that 70-75 plays per game [range] as a unit. If that happens, then you’re looking at hopefully anywhere from 15-20 carries and 6-8 targets," […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers
BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP: ~190 ANALYSIS: Entering his rookie season, Mike Gesicki should have an immediate impact in the Dolphins lineup. With the departure of Jarvis Landry to the Browns, and the return of Ryan Tannehill, the offense will look much different in 2018. Currently Gesicki is not even being drafted in normal redraft leagues, […]
Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~185 CURRENT ADP: ~215 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore has continued to play well. Despite being 35 years old, Gore's lowest yard total on the ground was 853 yards back in 2010. With nine 1,000 yard seasons in his career thus far and coming off of a 961 yard rushing year with the […]
DeVante Parker Not Catching Passes
Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) still cannot catch passes and doesn't know if the receiver will be able to play in Week 1 against the Titans. With just two weeks from the regular season opener, it's looking doubtful that Parker will be ready to contribute. The 25-year-old […]
Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again." Unfortunately, the classic proverb from the eloquent President George W. Bush is not entirely accurate when it comes to fantasy football. Every year, fantasy gamers are sucked in by rookie hype and every year, many of them fail to live up to expectations. […]
Five Running Backs Who Are Being Overvalued in 2018
As draft season approaches, it is important to remember that each player has a certain value. Every player can become a good selection for fantasy owners if they provide good value relative to their ADP's entering the draft. Therefore, a common strategy among fantasy football players is to draft players who have fallen below their […]
Teddy Bridgewater - A Path to Start in 2018?
It’s reasonable to be a little bearish on the Teddy Bridgewater’s chances of playing a real NFL snap in 2018. In fact, it’s actually a safe bet. Las Vegas sports books would agree with that assertion, by the way. Of five prominent sports books that provided futures odds on quarterbacks to win the passing yards […]
Albert Wilson Catches Two Passes Saturday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson caught two passes for ten yards in the Dolphins 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens. Wilson was out-gained and out-targeted by fellow slot receiver and new addition Danny Amendola in this one. While Amendola looked better Saturday, that isn't necessary a death sentence for Wilson. Wilson played the part […]
Danny Amendola Catches Touchdown in Preseason Loss
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday. Amendola's touchdown came on a drag route that he caught and ran in for a touchdown from 16 yards out. He put a nice move on a defender, juking […]
Kenny Stills Hauls in Three Catches Saturday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills caught three passes for 28 yards in the Dolphins 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday. Dolphins passers really spread the ball around in this one, as 14 different players caught a pass. Stills was the only one of those 14 to catch more than two passes. With […]
Frank Gore Rushes for -2 Yards Saturday
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore rushed one time for -2 yards in the Dolphins 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday. He also caught one pass for one yard. Gore had to lobby head coach Adam Gase to even play in this game, so it's unsurprising that he got such little work. At […]
Kenyan Drake Rushes for 32 Yards in Preseason Loss
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake rushed for 32 yards on four carries in the Dolphins' 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens. He also caught one pass for 36 yards. Drake collect 30 of his 32 rushing yards on one play, an inside run that he cut outside to the right and took up the […]
Ryan Tannehill Throws for 115 Yards in Preseason Loss
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was 11-for-16 passing with 115 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens. Tannehill was one of the few bright spots in a miserable preseason showing from the fins. Coming off a catastrophic knee injury in 2016 Tannehill looks healthy and like vintage Ryan Tannehill. […]

Offensive Line Power Rankings (Preseason)
The most basic aspects of football are blocking and tackling. Of course, the glory, girls, and in some instances paychecks go to the skill players, but the basis of a good offense in the NFL is the offensive line. Without a competent offensive line, an entire offense can crumble before your very eyes. Running backs […]
Preseason Fantasy Risers and Fallers
NFL preseason action is a great opportunity to catch glimpses of what to expect from players come Week 1. Several names can boom or bust their fantasy stocks based on how well they perform in that span, making it especially important for fantasy owners to be aware of how each player has been doing. While […]
Why ZeroRB Didn't Work in 2017
For someone drafting 8th in a 10-man league last year, going Zero-RB could have potentially netted them a top-three round haul of Mike Evans, Jordy Nelson, and Demaryius Thomas. On draft day, this is an amazing stack of WR1s. By the end of the year, it's weekly middling to poor performances that the owners' highest draft […]
