Eli Manning Doesn't Believe Giants Have QB Competition

New York Giants veteran quarterback Eli Manning told NFL.com that he doesn't believe the Giants have a quarterback competition going on right now.

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Kyler Murray or Cam Newton?

There's been a lot of hype behind Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray. Playing in an Air Raid-style offense for the Cardinals should allow Murray to be a high-volume passer fairly quickly, a guy who can be a great passer moving forward. There's also been a lot of not-hype for Cam Newton, who missed a couple […]

Darren Collison Retires

Jones is likely just going to be a depth piece if he […]

Bucks Will Waive George Hill

The Milwaukee Bucks intend to waive George Hill, making the guard an unrestricted free agent. While this doesn't rule out a return to the Bucks for Hill, it does open him up to other offers. Hill played in 47 games for Milwaukee, averaging 6.8 points, 2.1 assists, and 2.6 rebounds. He can still score when […]

LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore, Devin Singletary Split Reps

The Buffalo Bills running back rotation was always going to be a tough one to predict and so far, nothing about this offseason has helped to clarify things, as LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore and Devin Singletary have split first-team repetitions. McCoy and Gore are among the NFL's oldest backs, so using a full-borne committee approach in […]

Will Dissly On Schedule In Return From Patellar Injury

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly's rookie campaign was cut short after four games due to a patellar injury, but he posted encouraging numbers in those games, catching eight passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns.

Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny Could Be Heading For Timeshare

While Chris Carson is expected to open the season as the lead running back for the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Pete Carroll has said that he isn't sure who will be the lead back between Carson and second-year runner Rashaad Penny and that the situation could change on a week-to-week basis. It's worth monitoring this situation […]

Bryce Love Unlikely To Be Ready For Start Of Season

Washington Redskins rookie running back Bryce Love (knee) isn't expected to be ready to play at the start of the NFL season.

Texans Excited About Kahale Warring

The Houston Texans spent a third-round pick in this year's draft on San Diego State tight end Kahale Warring despite drafting two tight ends last season, but the team is excited by Warring's progression during offseason workouts. Warring's still a raw prospect and is unlikely to be able to make an immediate impact for the […]

Lamar Miller Losing Weight Ahead Of Season

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller is working to cut his body-fat percentage before the 2019 season. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports that Miller's lost eight pounds already as he looks to go into the year leaner and quicker. Houston didn't address the running back position in the offseason aside from adding UDFAs, […]

Now that we know who was drafted where, it's time to start analyzing what those picks mean. That analysis can come in the form of some of the positive looks at players and situations that we'll be publishing here at RotoBaller, but it's also useful sometimes to look at players who might not live up […]

With rookie draft season in full swing, you've got some major questions to think about, especially if you're picking early in your league's draft and need to figure out which wide receiver to pick first.

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (6/21/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Happy Friday! We've got three games for you to night in the W, and while a matchup between this year's Dream team and this year's Sun team might have sounded fun before the year started, it's bound to be a rough one for Atlanta. But we'll have offensive fireworks in Indiana/Chicago, plus an exciting nightcap […]

San Antonio Spurs Draft Keldon Johnson

With the 29th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs drafted Kentucky forward Keldon Johnson. Johnson is a solid defender who should be able to help the Spurs on that end of the floor, but his offensive game could use some work. He shot well from deep last year, but we’ll have […]

Golden State Warriors Select Jordan Poole

The Golden State Warriors have drafted Michigan guard Jordan Poole with the 28th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Last year for the Wolverines, Poole averaged 12.8 points per game and shot 36.9 percent from three. Poole is a good spot up shooter who could one day thrive off the Warriors bench, especially when playing […]

Portland Trail Blazers Draft Nassir Little

With the 25th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers have selected North Carolina forward Nassir Little. A highly-touted player out of high school, Little’s only college season was essentially a disaster. He played just 18.2 minutes per game, scoring 9.8 points and grabbing 4.6 rebounds per game. Little shot 26.9 percent […]

Philadelphia 76ers Trade Up For Matisse Thybulle

The Philadelphia 76ers have traded up with the Boston Celtics, selecting Washington forward Matisse Thybulle with the 20th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Thybulle might be the best defensive prospect in this year’s draft class, a guy capable of defending any position who put up elite block percentages and steal percentages for the Huskies […]

Memphis Grizzlies Trade Up For Brandon Clarke

With the 21st pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies — after a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder — have selected Gonzaga forward Brandon Clarke. Clarke was an incredible rim protector and interior scorer for Gonzaga last year, shooting 68 percent from the floor, mainly through a combination of cuts and post […]

New Orleans Pelicans Choose Nickeil Alexander-Walker

After acquiring the pick in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks, the New Orleans Pelicans have selected Virginia Tech guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker with the 17th pick in the NBA Draft. Alexander-Walker scored 16.2 points per game last season while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor. He made 37.4 percent of his three-pointers. Alexander-Walker fits well […]

Miami Heat Draft Tyler Herro

With the 13th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Miami Heat have selected Kentucky guard Tyler Herro. Herro’s NBA role should be as an off-ball shooter, as he can shoot from three and from the midrange. While his long range shooting wasn’t actually that stellar in his one season as a Wildcat, he has […]

Washington Wizards Draft Rui Hachimura

With the ninth pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards have drafted Gonzaga forward Rui Hachimura. With Gonzaga, Hachimura was a strong offensive option near the basket and in the mid-range, but there are questions about if he can do more offensively, especially in terms of stretching his game out to the perimeter. […]

Cleveland Cavaliers Select Darius Garland

The Cleveland Cavaliers have drafted Vanderbilt point guard Darius Garland with the fifth pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. This is the second year in a row that the Cavaliers have gone point guard, but expect Cleveland to play both Garland and last year’s pick, Collin Sexton, together in the backcourt. Garland played in just […]
