Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams.

Five Top Running Backs I'm Fading Ever So Slightly

Everyone's going to draft the top guys. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara - and those guys are going to be owned across the board. They rightfully belong in the first round and are being drafted highly. But who are some guys that are being overvalued a bit […]

Demaryius Thomas Limited In Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Thomas should be healthy enough to suit up in Week 1 on Sunday night against the Steelers, but his standing on the depth chart is what will likely make him a non-factor in fantasy to begin the year. Julian […]

Late-Round Wide Receivers Who Will Outperform Their ADP

When we put on the task of building our fantasy football teams we have to take into account the importance of "position scarcity". That now-famous term applies to all fantasy football positions to some degree, although its impact varies wildly among them. There are not many tight ends considered elite (as fewer as three are […]

Around The NFL Pop Quiz: NFC East

We're officially in the last week of preseason. Cuts are done. There are very few "sleepers" that haven't been written about, or who you can get at an affordable price. So I'll save the long, drawn-out introduction for my last article in this series. For now, thanks for reading this long, and if you're yet […]

What is even better is that new sign-ups to the website earn $25 […]

Updated Tight End Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Ah, the tight end position. Other than the kicker and defenses, the least useful position in fantasy football. But alas, it is a necessary position so we need to look at it. Of course, here we will be talking about typical single-TE leagues with no scoring premium. So, you really have to decide whether or […]

Josh Gordon Could Disappoint In Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon is trending towards suiting up and playing Week 1 against the Steelers this Sunday night. Gordon's reinstatement caught many in the fantasy community by surprise and his value has sky-rocketed over the last week. But Gordon missed most of training camp and it is unclear how comfortable he […]

Start Julian Edelman With Confidence In Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is a strong candidate to lead the team in targets Week 1 against the Steelers. Edelman caught seven passes for 90 yards last year against a Steelers Defense that allowed the 16th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. Edelman caught 74 passes in only 12 games last season […]

James White's Value Best Utilized In PPR Leagues Week 1

New England Patriots running back James White will be looking to replicate his career-best 2018 season when the team kicks off the 2019 season against the Steelers on Sunday. White caught 87 passes, racked up 1,176 yards from scrimmage with 12 total touchdowns last season but will have tough test in Week 1. The Steelers […]

Sony Michel Should Be Featured Heavily In Week 1

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel should see the lion's share of the touches in the backfield Sunday night against the Steelers in Week 1. Michel's training camp got off to a slow start recovering from offseason knee surgery but all reports indicate he is ready to roll. He will go up against a […]

Rob Gronkowski Would Need A Month

Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski estimated that he would need about a month to get into game-ready shape if he were to come out of retirement. Gronkowski is at 245 pounds, and he played around 260 pounds. He looks a lot leaner and has lost some muscle mass. He keeps dropping hints […]

Tom Brady Has Solid Week 1 Matchup

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will face the Steelers in Week 1 for the 11th time in his regular season career this Sunday night. The 42-year-old will begin his 20th NFL season against one of his biggest rivals and will carry an 8-3 career record in the regular season against the Steelers. Brady's career […]

Terminator Tournament Challenge: The Future Is In Your Hands

Many of you are familiar with best-ball leagues. You draft a full squad, then sit back and watch your optimal lineup each week accumulate points. No lineup decisions, no waivers, no in-season management. No muss, no fuss. Some people love the appeal of putting all their eggs in the draft basket and constructing multiple rosters […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2019

James Conner, Phillip Lindsay, Damien Williams, Gus Edwards, Austin Ekeler. In the final month of the 2018 fantasy season, these five running backs were regularly ranking amongst the top-20 at the position, often as high as top-10 or top-five. One thing they all had in common: None of them even sniffed the top 100 preseason rankings […]

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Running back is the most volatile position in fantasy football. It's possible to put together a winning team while going "zero RB" (not picking a running back in the early rounds), proving how much change there can be in many running backs' value over the course of a year. I don't recommend doing this, for […]

Passing on Passers - A Case For Drafting Your QB1 Late

We all know that Patrick Mahomes, in his second season as an NFL player and his first as a full-time starter, broke a record set in 2013 by the very own Peyton Manning. In 2018, Mahomes finished the season with 417.1 fantasy points, edging Manning's 412 by 5.1 in the final tally. That is impressive […]

Houston Texans Revamp Roster - Fantasy Impact

No team was busier on Saturday than the Houston Texans, who swung four trades on the day that rosters had to be cut down to 53. Houston opened the day with the long-awaited Jadeveon Clowney trade, shipping the skilled pass rusher to Seattle for a pick and some less impactful linebackers. Then, they traded for […]

Fool Me Once... Second-Year Running Backs Set to Bust Again

For each Saquon Barkley, there are five Trenton Cannons. Which is to say, for each elite rookie running back, there a bunch of newcomer tailbacks that plainly underperform and see themselves out of relevance before they can even realize they were in the NFL. A lot has been said about the importance (or not) of […]

Spencer Aguiar's Bold Predictions - 2019 Fantasy Football

Several RotoBaller writers have gone before me on this journey of bringing you their "Bold Predictions" for the 2019 season, and as the last representative, I intend on bringing us home in style. The thing about making bold predictions is that there is a fine line between aggressive and BOLDDDD takes. If we look back […]

WR Stat Sleepers - Fantasy Points Per Target

When building a fantasy football team, one of the most important things to consider is a players opportunity. There is not much brain exercise to do when drafting a quarterback and assessing the number of times he will be tasked to lead the offense. If we're talking about a QB1 for his team, he'll probably […]
