Markus Golden Looks Set To Return To Big Apple

New York Giants free-agent linebacker Markus Golden has until July 22 to find a new team after the Giants put a May 5 tender on him, but there is no indication that any other team is interested in signing him for more than one year and $4.125 million. If another team wanted him for more, […]

Giants, Leonard Williams Not Close To Long-Term Extension

SNY's Ralph Vacchiano doesn't think that the New York Giants and defensive tackle Leonard Williams will come to an agreement on a long-term contract extension before the July 15 deadline. Williams wants to be paid like a premier pass-rusher (around $18-20 million a year), and the Giants haven't wanted to pay him that amount. On […]

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) was seen running and cutting for the first time since his foot surgery in December.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley may receive a record-setting deal sometime next summer, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8

The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

Daniel Jones Bulking Up

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is bulking up in preparation for his first full season as the Giants starter under center. Jones, who stands at 6-foot-5, weighed 220 pounds as a rookie, but he's now closer to 230 pounds after hitting the weights hard this offseason. The second-year signal-caller wanted to put on a […]

Why Saquon Barkley Should Be the 1.01 Pick

This might come off as crazy but hear me out. Yes, Christian McCaffrey had one of the best fantasy running back seasons in PPR history last season but Saquon Barkley should still be drafted ahead of him in 2020. 2019 was tumultuous for Barkley and the New York Giants. They officially transitioned from the face […]

For those of you in fantasy football IDP leagues (Individual Defensive Player), it can be hard to find content that helps you decide when you should draft defenders in your drafts, and when you should expect others to select them.

One-Man Backfields to Chase in 2020

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume--and thus his […]

Fantasy Outlook in a Sentence: NFC Conference

I have been looking at data from the 2019 season since the Super Bowl finished. I have been looking at projections for the 2020 season for the past few weeks.

In the NFL, everyone knows that quarterback is the most vital positions to the success of their team.

It's such a relief to have one of […]

RB Handcuffs to Target: NFC Edition

Imagine the feeling of using your early start-up draft pick on a bell-cow running back. He is a lock to get a majority of your team’s carries. He is going to be a major factor in the receiving game. Heck, he may just mess around and lead the league in rushing touchdowns because he is […]

Detroit Lions 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Detroit Lions are the definition of mediocre in the NFL. Look no further than a string of average records in each of the past eight seasons (sans 2014). The Lions finished at the bottom of the NFC North in 2019, going 3-12. It’s no surprise that coach Matt Patricia has his job on the […]

Sam Darnold Throwing With Saquon Barkley

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was seen on social media throwing passes to New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley. Players have had to get creative this offseason with no in-person organized team activities or minicamps thanks to the coronavirus, so it's not a surprise to see Darnold throwing with a player from another […]

Daniel Jones Draws Mixed Reviews from Joe Judge

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones drew mixed results from head coach Joe Judge in a phone call with NFL Media Reporter Kim Jones.

If you've read my recent articles or watched the RotoBaller Youtube channel, you already know my new draft strategy for 2020. My plan is to get a safe base in the early rounds and then strictly target players that have upside. The reason is twofold: if those upside fliers don’t work out, I can drop […]

Born to Run: Why You Should Go RB/RB in Rounds 1 and 2

The draft strategies we implement in our fantasy drafts can change from season to season. One year it will be advantageous to load up with wide receivers early in the draft and the following it’s best to draft heavy at running back.

Early Summer ADP Risers at Tight End

Ah, our old friend, ADP. Average Draft Position indicates the mean position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player in your team. A high ADP (that is, actually, a low-numbered ADP) means that a […]

How to Approach Rookies in a Dynasty Startup

In many ways, rookies in dynasty leagues are like icing. Too much can doom you and too little can shorten your window to win. But, just the right amount, combined with the other right ingredients, and you’ll have a delicious cake you can eat. The only difference between re-draft and dynasty is that you’ll be […]

Sterling Shepard's Health Should Be A Concern

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard's multiple concussions in 2019 is a cause of major concern for the organization. The 27-year-old was relegated to just 10 games last season after sustaining two head injuries throughout the year, which ultimately caused the former Sooner to log the worst campaign of his career. Shepard finished last […]

Darius Slayton Tabbed To Break Out In 2020

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was recently named to CBS Sports' "Breakout Team."
