Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts - Week 2

The opening week of fantasy football gave us surprises like O.J.

Tyler Eifert (TE, JAX) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Eifert has never found a body part he could not injure.

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

The NFL might be a quarterback-driven, pass-first league these days, but you are not going to win a fantasy football league without a decent running back corps. Even though more NFL teams are going with a running-back-by-committee philosophy rather than relying on a running back to be a three-down workhorse, fantasy rosters have to be […]

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. The NFL draft, trades, free-agent signings, salary-cap cuts and opt-outs due to the COVID crisis have all affected the wide receiver rankings since the last time our website’s rankings were released. So now […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~83 ANALYSIS: Jones only suited up for nine games in his 2018 rookie-season due to various problems ranging from injury to just not being prepared to play in the NFL, and when he did get on the field he averaged an embarrassing 1.9 yards per carry. Last year […]

Stop That Hype Train! Raheem Mostert

Raheem Mostert went from a special teams ace to the top tailback on a Super Bowl team faster than a greyhound chases a mechanical rabbit around a racetrack.

2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper: Ronald Jones

Ronald Jones II has caused fantasy football players more problems over his short career than a malfunctioning stat service.

Tight End PPR Rankings, Tiers & Analysis

Fantasy football players probably hope the 2020 NFL season is better for tight ends than the 2019 season was. 2018 was arguably the greatest year for tight ends in the history of the NFL and fantasy football thanks to Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz setting the single-season record for receptions and San Francisco’s George Kittle setting the […]

Kansas City’s Travis […]

2020 Early Sleepers and Draft Targets: Running Back

It is going to be almost impossible to win your fantasy football league in 2020 without a strong set of running backs, even in today’s pass-happy NFL.

No byes, no problem this week for fantasy footballers…unless you have more busts in your lineup than booms. This is not the week to be a fantasy turkey.

There’s nothing worse than having a turkey at the tight end position! Sorry for the Thanksgiving-related lead. Sometimes I cannot help myself.

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Jarvis Landry, Calvin Ridley, Bo Scarbrough
