Craig Rondinone 4 years agoUpdated 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 […]
Craig Rondinone 4 years agoUpdated 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.
