Dynasty League Buy, Sell - Rookie Round Up for Week 11

Each week, I'll take a look at how NFL rookies are performing from a dynasty fantasy football perspective. Last week, I ran through the rookies and made a buy or sell recommendation for each. This week I'm doing a deeper dive into two polarizing players: John Ross and Mike Williams. Both were prodigious college talents […]

Each week, I'll take a look at how NFL rookies are performing from a dynasty fantasy football perspective. We're already on to Week 10! Whether or not your dynasty team is competing for a title this year, you should always be thinking about the future. One thing that can affect a player's dynasty value -- not […]


Dynasty League Buy, Sell - Rookie Round Up for Week 8

Each week, I'll take a look at how NFL rookies are performing from a dynasty fantasy football perspective. After a mid-season bye, I return to action this week with a look at rookie trade ideas that could help your dynasty team. Succeeding at dynasty is an art form. Balancing current production against future value is tricky, […]


Dynasty League Rookie Round Up - Week 7

Last week we took a look at how the rookie wide receivers are faring and compared them to some historical players. This week, we'll do the same with the rookie running backs. I'll find other rookies from past seasons that have produced at a similar per-game pace, and see what stands out. Keep in mind […]


Dynasty League Rookie Round Up - Week 6

This column features a weekly look at rookie performances from a dynasty fantasy football perspective. This week I'll look at a few wide receivers who've gotten a lot of usage so far.

In this series, I'll continue to look at rookies from a dynasty fantasy football league perspective. Last week, I highlighted some under the radar names you should be aware of.

This time around, I'll look at four rookies with interesting […]

As the season progresses, the format might change a bit, but for Week 1, I'll review […]


Four Bold Predictions for the 2017 Season

Now that the NFL season is nearly here, it's time to put away our spreadsheets and calculators, and let's rip a few bold predictions. I think that in order to be considered bold, a prediction has to be unlikely, so I'm not expecting a great success rate here. On the other hand, these aren't ridiculous […]

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. A good fantasy football player has a specific plan of attack for the later rounds of a draft. These aren't throw away picks. Or at least, they don't have to be if you study up and have an idea about which players have a […]

If you’re one of the 12 people in North America that hasn’t heard of it, the Scott Fish Bowl is an annual season-long super flex fantasy football tournament that pits literally hundreds of fans and analysts against each other. The tournament also features some unique scoring rules. The primary rules to be aware of this […]


2017 Player vs. Player - Stefon Diggs vs. Devante Parker

You're on the clock. The timer's ticking. You're torn between two players. Who do you take? That's the question we'll debate in this player vs. player series. In this article, Charlie Kleinheksel advocates for Stefon Diggs (ADP 5.08) and Pierre Camus will make the case for DeVante Parker (ADP 6.01) in dynasty startup formats. Fantasy football […]

Rookie Wide Receivers with the Best Fantasy Outlook

The first week of May means Star Wars Day and Cinco de Mayo. It also means fantasy football, specifically dynasty rookie drafts and best-ball leagues. The first two are nice, but you're here for the third. Let's talk about rookie wide receivers with the best immediate fantasy outlooks. In redraft or best ball leagues, we're […]


Do Wide Receivers Need a Top QB to Have a Dominant Fantasy Season?

Wide receiver is the premiere fantasy football position, so figuring out which WR are likely to produce at a high level is an important endeavor. One factor that could affect WR performance is quarterback play. Should we worry about receivers who are stuck with weak QBs? What if the WR or QB changes teams? Should we […]


Trade Away Your Dynasty Rookie Picks Before it's Too Late!

April is when dynasty fantasy football players get spring fever. Last season's exploits are a distant memory. The combine has come and gone. Now we're just counting down the days until our rookie drafts. Who doesn't love a good rookie draft? Me, that's who! Call me Scrooge if you must, but let me explain why […]


Way Too Early Dynasty Mock Draft Analysis - Rounds 2-3

The Rotoballer fantasy football crew got together recently to run a mock dynasty startup draft. Here, I'll give some analysis of the second and third round selections. Make sure to check out yesterday's first-round recap as well. The second and third rounds are, for me, the sweet spot where player values aren't quite as well defined as […]


Fantasy Implications - Alshon Jeffery to Philadelphia

Is it Christmas? It sure feels like Christmas! NFL free agency has been inching closer, and on Thursday it finally arrived in all its glory. While many dominoes are still left to fall, some of the big names have already joined new clubs. Among the more interesting transactions, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery signed with the […]


Way Too Early 2017 Breakouts - Quarterback

The 2016 season is but a faint memory, and the 2017 season seems ages away. We've yet to go through the NFL combine, let alone the draft. Absent those distractions, this seems like a perfect time to consider which quarterbacks could have breakout campaigns. Unlike the running back position, the QB position is generally quite […]


Biggest Surprises of 2016 - Wide Receivers

We study. We plan. We scour the web. Before any fantasy football season starts, we do everything we can to make our best predictions. Despite our best efforts, we're often surprised by what actually happens. Let's take a look at some of the more surprising wide receiver performances of 2016. Understanding what happened will help […]


Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2016: Tight Ends

We're a few days out from the Super Bowl, which means it's not long until the NFL combine. From there it's a hop, skip, and a jump to the NFL draft, and before you know it, we'll be in fantasy football draft season. To make the best plans for 2017, it helps to understand what […]


Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2016 - Running Backs

The running back position is arguably fantasy football's most volatile. Preseason expectations often go flying out the window once the season begins, and every year sees plenty of surprises, both good and bad. That never stops us from trying to make sense of what happened, with an eye toward making better prognostications next time around. […]
