I'm a Southern California sports fan - Lakers, Ducks, Angels - and the Washington Redskins (long story) who used to record Barry Sanders games on VHS tapes. I developed a passion for fantasy football and decided to start blogging/writing about my findings. I started my own personal training business in 2011. When not spending hours researching for fantasy football I enjoy playing chess and visiting Disneyland with my wife.

Who Is the #1 Pick in 2021 Fantasy Football?

The 2020 fantasy football season may be over, but it’s never too early to look ahead. The draft season for 2021 will be here before you know it, and one of the biggest questions will be who should be the number one pick? Here are my top-five choices (in order) and why they should or […]


2021 Way Too Early Mock Draft Analysis - Rounds 8-13

We wind up our coverage of the RotoBaller Way Too Early Mock with the final rounds. Although there were some reaches and great value picks in the first half of the draft, this is where things got unpredictable. This article is Part 3 of 3 where I will look over rounds eight through 13 of […]


2021 Way Too Early Mock Draft Analysis - Rounds 4-7

The 2020 fantasy football season is barely in the books but that didn’t stop me and some fellow RotoBallers from participating in a way too early 2021 mock draft. 12 of us got together and drafted a 13-round PPR (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX) mock draft for next season. As usual, when drafting this early, […]


2021 Way Too Early Mock Draft Analysis - Rounds 1-3

The 2020 fantasy football season is barely in the books but that didn’t stop me and some fellow RotoBallers from participating in a way too early 2021 mock draft. Twelve of us got together and drafted a 13-round PPR (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX) mock draft for next season. As usual, when drafting this early, […]

Second-Year Receivers Ready to Break Out in 2021

There used to be a widely-held belief in the fantasy football community that wide receivers broke out in their third pro season. While the third-year breakout does happen, more and more wide receivers are breaking out in their second season. Others, like Justin Jefferson, don't even wait a year. Finding these wide receivers can potentially […]


Jalen Hurts - Franchise QB or Flash in the Pan?

When the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, many people were surprised. After all, they already had their franchise quarterback in Carson Wentz. Fast forward to Week 16, and the move looks incredibly smart. Wentz struggled all season and when the Eagles finally made the switch during their […]

The Method to the Matchups Madness - An In-Depth Look

Last year was my first year writing the matchups column for RotoBaller, and let me tell you it was a bear. Covering 12-14 games every week, and having to write about every single relevant player from each team is a time-consuming task no one should have to embark on. So when I signed up to […]


PPR Targets - Undervalued Tight Ends

Drafting tight ends in fantasy is like eating your vegetables at dinner. You know you should, but you really don't want to. Only three tight ends in PPR leagues, Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, and Zach Ertz averaged over 12 points per game in 2017. On a points-per-game basis, the TE4 (Evan Engram) and TE20 (Vernon Davis) […]


Three Overvalued Running Backs - Potential ADP Busts

Running backs are the rocks of fantasy football teams, but they are not without risk. One of the most volatile positions due to injuries and teams using a committee approach, avoiding a bust at the position has become paramount to drafters. While you can't control your stud running back getting hurt, or getting benched for […]


Three Overvalued Quarterbacks - Potential ADP Busts

Quarterback is one of the most predictable and deepest positions in fantasy, so it is not a spot where you want to take risks. Sure, you could draft Aaron Rodgers early, or you could wait and get Philip Rivers really late. There are many ways to play the quarterback position, and the only thing that […]


NFL Preseason Week 3 Review - Fantasy Impact

Week 3 of the NFL preseason is typically a dress rehearsal for teams and we get the best idea yet of how players will be used. While some NFL teams still chose to rest their starters, many inexplicably didn't. Unfortunately, we also had a major injury with Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee going down for the […]
