Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie May Not Switch Positions

New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie may not be moving from corner to free safety in 2018. There were reports last week that the 31-year-old would return for the final year of his deal at a new position, but that has been news to the Giants coaches. He's scheduled to make $6.48 million in 2018 […]

Andrew Norwell Expected To Sign With Giants

The belief is that free-agent offensive guard Andrew Norwell is a "done deal" to land with the New York Giants. New Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is familiar with Norwell from his time leading the Panthers and is expected to bring Norwell over to shore up New York's pitiful offensive line. Norwell is one of […]

Early Dynasty Startup Mock Draft - Round 2

This is the second installment in our way-too-early dynasty startup mock draft series.  The first round of any draft is crucial to get a player who can act as the foundation of your team, mess that up and you’ll be playing from behind the curve for the first year if not longer. If the first […]

RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Round 1

The great thing about playing your favorite game with true fantasy degenerates is that there is never an "off" time for the game. It feels like yesterday we started drafting, both in eulogy to the 2017 fantasy football season, and a eulogy to when the RotoBaller writing team started our in-house PPR draft, which has […]

Giants Expected To Pursue Graham Gano

The New York Giants are expected to pursue Carolina Panthers impending free-agent place kicker Graham Gano when free agency kicks off March 12, according to a source. Gano has been with Carolina since 2012 and was the kicker when new Giants general manager Dave Gettleman was with the Panthers from 2013-16. The Giants would like […]

Early Dynasty Startup Mock Draft - Round 1

Here at Rotoballer, it’s never too early for a football mock draft! Free agency and the NFL draft will change the composition of the league, but the accompanying hype can skew how we feel about players and lead to overdrafting mistakes (can anyone say Terrelle Pryor?). Dynasty football never ends, so we’re here to provide you […]

Pat Shurmur Has Confidence In Eli Manning

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that quarterback Eli Manning has "years" left as a starter in the NFL. Manning was a failure in 2017, posting under 4,000 yards passing for the first time since 2013, and he had 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 15 games. However, it didn't help that his […]

RB Efficiency Numbers - How Valid Are They?

There are a lot of stats out there that purport to give you an edge in your fantasy leagues. With more and more fantasy analysis out on the internet and more and more people looking for new ways to judge players, it becomes difficult to sort through how much certain statistics really matter in judging […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Doesn't Want To Play In The Preseason

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. posted on his Twitter account that he doesn't want to play any preseason snaps this year. While the Giants probably won't use him much in the preseason, he should be expected to play at least some snaps as he's looking to bounce back from a 2017 season […]

Early 2018 Breakouts - Wide Receivers

As we slowly get closer to the 2018 NFL Draft, we are beginning to get an idea of where players are landing. There are plenty of question marks out there still between free agency and the 2018 NFL Draft, but there are definitely some places where the starting lineups are beginning to take shape. The […]

Dynasty Tight Ends - Football Rankings Analysis

The tight end position has always been one that can be a true difference-maker for a fantasy football team.

While the rest of your team is streaming tight ends week in […]

Early 2018 Sleepers - Wide Receivers

As we slowly get closer to the 2018 NFL Draft, we are beginning to get an idea of where players are landing. There are plenty of question marks out there still between free agency and the 2018 NFL Draft, but there are definitely some places where the starting lineups are beginning to take shape. The […]

Dynasty Wide Receivers - Football Rankings Analysis

Wide receivers have been prioritized by dynasty owners in recent years, as the movement toward running-back-by-committee and relatively short shelf-life of running backs has made them a more volatile commodity. Receivers can be productive well into their 30s and tend to be more consistent. After 2017, we may be seeing a shift back toward the […]

Davis Webb States Case To Be Future QB

New York Giants quarterback Davis Webb, who was drafted in the third round under former general manager Jerry Reese and head coach Ben McAdoo, has spoken with new GM Dave Gettleman and new head coach Pat Shurmur and has stated his case to be the future signal caller once Eli Manning is done. “I think […]

Way Too Early 2018 Running Back Depth Chart Projections

It may be February, but the fantasy football minds at RotoBaller are still hard at work and bringing you research for the 2018 NFL season. Preparation is key to any fantasy owner's continued success, so taking a preemptive look at how the running back depth charts will shape up come September can be extremely helpful. With […]

NFL Draft Sleepers - Trey Quinn

Trey Quinn might not the the Southern Methodist WR you know, but he might be an even better value in dynasty league than his counterpart, Courtland Sutton. Quinn is currently projected as a late round NFL draft prospect and is going in the fourth round of early rookie mocks. At that price, he might be […]

Dynasty Running Backs - Football Rankings Analysis

In dynasty leagues, running backs are always the most difficult position to gauge. They can be a great short-term investment, but can be a mind boggling issue when looking at their long-term value. The running back position is the most volatile due to injury and career length. Some of the best fantasy seasons from running […]

NFL Coaching Changes - Which Players Will Thrive?

A new NFL season naturally means new head coaches across the league. There will be seven new coaches roaming the sidelines next season, with four of them--Matt Nagy for the Bears, Frank Reich for the Colts, Pat Shurmur for the Giants, and Jon Gruden for the Raiders--coming in with backgrounds as offensive coaches. We have […]

Early 2018 Sleepers - Quarterbacks

As we slowly get closer to the 2018 NFL Draft, we are beginning to get an idea of where players are landing.

Eli Apple, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie In Danger Of Being Cut

New York Giants cornerbacks Eli Apple and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie are candidates to be released this offseason. Apple is an extremely athletic 22-year-old former first-round pick, but his immaturity issues have caused a rift in the locker room and with coaches. He'll cost $4.13 million on the salary cap, and the Giants would be hit with […]

Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Harris Could Be Cap Casualties

New York Giants wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Dwayne Harris could be in danger of being cut to save salary cap space this offseason. Marshall is 33 years old and played in just five games in 2017 before landing on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury. Even when he was on the field he wasn't […]

Giants Name Mike Shula As Offensive Coordinator

The New York Giants have hired Mike Shula as their new offensive coordinator, according to sources. Shula was an offensive assistant when David Gettleman was the general manager in Carolina, so this makes sense. Shula could take a back seat to new head coach Pat Shurmur in terms of play calling, however. New York's biggest […]

Dynasty Quarterbacks - Football Rankings Analysis

When looking at the quarterback position for dynasty leagues, just as the other positions, fantasy owners need to think about the construction of their roster. Are they in win-now mode and can saddle up with a veteran like Tom Brady or Drew Brees, or is the team building towards becoming a contender so it can […]

Biggest Breakouts of 2017 - Tight End

After spending the entirety of early January rating the hot or not's for fantasy football, I settled in to enjoy playoff football. Between basically living between postseason college and pro football, as well as some real-life stuff that got in the way of my regular writing schedule, I enjoyed the most uneven playoff schedule in […]

Deep Dynasty Football Stashes for 2018

Stashing players in your dynasty leagues is one of the most fun, yet simultaneously frustrating aspects of dynasty league fantasy football. It isn’t often that players pop up during their first year and make a big name for themselves in fantasy football. We’ve been spoiled in recent years with guys like Ezekiel Elliott and Odell […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers - Tight Ends

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback , running back and wide receiver positions. This time we're looking at tight ends who improved their stock or saw it plummet.

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Running Backs

We've already looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback position. This time we examine the most volatile of positions, running back. As is usually the case, the running back position produced plenty of surprises both good and bad. Rookies played a huge role in 2017, as expected, but a few NFL veterans surprised us as […]

Super Bowl Extravaganza - Prop Picks and Game Predictions

The Super Bowl is here, but did you know how it got its name? The first three Super Bowls were not called the Super Bowl, but rather the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. Per The Atlantic, "As the big game approaches we will once again be told that, as Wikipedia puts it, the name "Super Bowl" […]

Eli Manning Will Be Back As Starter

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has been told by general manager Dave Gettleman and new head coach Pat Shurmur that he'll be back as the starter in 2018. The 37-year-old Manning struggled mightily in 2017, but to be fair he lost his two best receivers -- Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall -- to […]
