Updated Running Back PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

Hitting on the right RB can win you a league. Christian McCaffrey was a monster in 2019, rewarding fantasy players who took him over Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliot, and in some instances even Saquon Barkley. Sorting out this year’s RB landscape could be the difference between winning it all and missing the playoffs. This year, […]

Logan Ryan Inks One-Year Deal To Join Giants

Defensive back Logan Ryan signed a one-year deal worth $7.5 million Monday, reuniting him with head coach Joe Judge, who knew Ryan during his tenure with the Patriots from 2013-16. Ryan’s addition could help the New York secondary immensely as he made a career-high 113 combined tackles last season with Tennessee. Likely to slot into […]

Golden Tate (WR, NYG) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~134 ANALYSIS: It is a shame that we didn't get the full Tate-experience in 2019 as he missed five games entirely while appearing in 11 as a whole (he tested positive for a banned substance). Why, you ask? Well, Tate was one of the most efficient players out […]

Why Zero RB Won't Work In 2020 (and Beyond!)

In the 1970s, you didn't have to go far to find a funky cool cat cutting up the dance floor in a polyester leisure suit while his pet rock named Morton rested comfortably in his pocket. By the 1980s, people had realized things like the pet rock, and leisure suits were lame. Instead, it was […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2020

In a world where Christian McCaffrey is coming off a historic year comprised of 287 carries, 142 targets, 19 touchdowns and over 2,300 yards from scrimmage, the Zero RB strategy might seem like a losing recipe. How can you justify shooting for any non-running back at the top of drafts when we’ve seen just how […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~96 Overall CURRENT ADP:~113 ANALYSIS: As your fantasy drafts move towards the later rounds it becomes close to impossible to find players who are projected to be a team’s WR1. Enter Sterling Shepard, who presented similar value in ADP in coming into his first season without Odell Beckham Jr in 2019, and […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~108 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~126 ANALYSIS: Jones took over for Eli Manning after two games last season, parlaying his NFL baptism into a respectable 24 TDs and 61.9% completion rate despite a hobbled Saquon Barkley that didn't help keep defenses honest that much. The rookie shouldered some rushing responsibility with 279 yards and […]

Golden Tate Still Leading Giants Receivers

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is the elder statesman of the team's receiving core, but the 32-year-old still boasts strong athleticism and should put up good numbers in his second season working with QB Daniel Jones. Tate made 49 catches in 11 games last season but averaged 13.8 yards-per-catch, his highest total since […]

Golden Tate - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Golden Tate is now 32 and entering his 11th season in the NFL. When people head into their fantasy football drafts, nobody thinks about targeting a 32-year-old slot receiver, but Tate is still viable. In fact, when people think about the New York Giants, they don't think about Golden Tate, they think about Saquon Barkley, […]

Boom or Bust Tight End Predictions: Gronk, Fant, and Herndon

For the last few seasons, tight end position was essentially a barren wasteland - there were a couple of elite options in the top tier, but beyond that was slim pickings for fantasy players. This is no longer the case, as tight end is as deep as it's ever been. There are elite options at […]

Updated Wide Receiver Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

RotoBaller’s 2020 wide receiver rankings for standard fantasy football leagues are looking a little different than they did a few months ago.

So now […]

ADP Landmines - Avoid These Players in 2020

Every year, when we reflect back on the NFL season that was, it's easy to have 20/20 vision and see the mistakes that you made in the draft. In 2019, guys like David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell went in the middle of the first round and didn't perform on par with their first-round billing. Johnson […]

Saquon Barkley Close To Returning To Practice

While we haven't gotten any news on the specifics of the injury, it certainly doesn't sound major and reports now suggest that […]

David Mayo Could Be Back In Three Weeks

New York Giants linebacker David Mayo (knee) is expected to have surgery to trim his injured meniscus, according to a source. It won't be a full repair, so that could put him back on the field in around three weeks. It's good news for Mayo, but there's still a good chance that he won't be […]

Xavier McKinney Suffers Broken Foot, David Mayo Tears Meniscus

New York Giants second-round rookie safety Xavier McKinney (foot) suffered a broken fifth metatarsal and will undergo surgery on Wednesday. He's expected to be out for around 10 weeks. Meanwhile, linebacker David Mayo (knee) has a torn meniscus. McKinney was one of the best safeties in the 2020 draft class, so this is a big […]

Daniel Jones May Not Use No-Contact Jersey

New York Giants first-year head coach Joe Judge is contemplating having quarterback Daniel Jones practice without the usual no-contact red jersey in hopes that a few hits to the QB get him ready for the regular season.

Leonard Williams In Line To Bounce Back?

New York Giants new defensive line coach Sean Spencer has high hopes for defensive end Leonard Williams in 2020 in his first full season with the team.

WR Stat Sleepers: Fantasy Points Per Target

In 2019, Marvin Jones Jr. averaged 2.13 fantasy points per target in ESPN standard PPR scoring. "What is that supposed to mean to me?" you ask. Fair enough. That's an odd stat to throw out there without any context. Instead, what if I phrased it as follows: In 2019, Marvin Jones Jr. averaged more fantasy points […]
