Dynasty Stock Watch for 2018 – Quarterbacks (Part 2)

2018 PPR Mock Draft Review: Sleepers

If Rotoballer's first mock draft of the 2018 fantasy football (redraft) season is any indication of what things will look like in August, balance is the operative word. Yet sleepers still lay waiting in the grass. Through three rounds, sixteen running backs and sixteen wide receivers were drafted in the 16-round 12-team PPR draft. Despite […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2018: WR Risers

When it comes to dynasty, the season never ends.

Some people are smiling because they've […]

The lack of depth at tight end is more apparent than ever, especially with Hunter Henry's unfortunate non-contact ACL injury in OTAs.

Valuing Mitch Trubisky in Dynasty Leagues

Rookie NFL Sleeper - Sony Michel (RB, NE)

Each year, there are several players who are undervalued following the NFL Draft. These youngsters are often thrust into competitive position groups, poor situations, or teams who didn't invest a first round pick as a glowing endorsement of their talents. However, for fantasy purposes, the recent increase in skilled and productive players out of the […]

Rookie NFL Sleeper - Nick Chubb

Each year, there are several players who are undervalued following the NFL Draft. These youngsters are often thrust into competitive position groups, poor situations, or teams who didn't invest a first round pick as a glowing endorsement of their talents. However, for fantasy purposes, the recent increase in skilled and productive players out of the […]

Undrafted Free Agents To Watch In Dynasty

For 256 young men, their dream has finally come true--to be drafted and admitted into the exclusive club of NFL players! Alas, countless others sadly did not hear their name called over the three-day event. Disheartening as it may be, plenty of undrafted players have made big impacts in years past. Need me to jog […]

Rookie IDPs in the Best Fantasy Situations

While it may seem complex, adding individual defensive players (IDPs) to your fantasy league can be a fun way to spice up the overall level of competition! While the core nucleus of our fantasy lineups will always be on the offensive side of the ball, a strong defensive crew can be a difference-maker on any […]

Rookie TEs in the Best Fantasy Positions

Rookie tight ends are notoriously hard to project because so much goes into the position. Players have to be able to show NFL-level blocking and receiving abilities if they want to see the field early. While some succeed early, others take far longer. Last year was one of the most highly-rated tight end classes in […]

NFL Draft - Team Winners and Losers

The 2018 NFL Draft has come and gone and most of the teams in the leagues have to be excited about what they ended up with, even if that excitement is misplaced in some instances (*cough* Raiders).

The 2018 NFL Draft has concluded and a new batch of rookie skill position players is ready to light up the fantasy community in the upcoming season.

Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers: QB

Think of the Dallas Cowboys from the 1990s. Does Troy Aikman immediately come to mind? How about the 49ers of the 1980s - let me guess, you thought of Joe Montana fairly early into the recollection? Pittsburgh dominated the 1970s, and while the "Steel Curtain" moniker refers to their stifling defense, they also happened to […]

Free Agent Wide Receivers Who May Surprise in 2018

Fantasy football owners know that changing teams usually changes a player’s fantasy value, and many times for the better. NFL general managers have been paying free-agent wide receivers more millions this offseason than the producers of Big Bang Theory pay its stars. It seems all you need is a 100 career receptions on your résumé […]

Just a Sophomore Slump - Players Entering Their Third Season Who Will Rebound in 2018

There are always players expected to break out in their second seasons who don't, for whatever reason. Sometimes they continue their slide toward irrelevance and, other times, they come back and perform well in their third NFL seasons. I've looked back at the 2016 rookie class to find three players who haven't performed up to […]

Lamar Jackson Doesn't Throw 49 MPH, It's Much Faster Than You Think...

There have been few quarterbacks to come out of college since the year 2000 who are as electric and polarizing as Heisman trophy-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson's draft stock has risen into the first round as of late, but the off-season hasn’t been a slam dunk for him. The myriad question marks surrounding the QB culminated […]

Dynasty Buy-Low: Running Backs on New Teams

The free-agent signing period only opened about a week ago in the NFL, but most of the available running backs with any fantasy value have already signed with new teams. Trading during the offseason in dynasty leagues is trickier than hiding your "magazine" stash from your spouse, especially if your deals involve a running back […]

Under the Radar RB Signings - Fantasy Risers or Fallers?

A flurry of activity in the past week has sent fantasy football owners and sports Twitter into a frenzy. Some huge names changed teams and the domino effect will affect dozens of players league-wide. Then again, not every signing has to create a seismic shift in the fantasy universe. There were a number of under the […]

Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers - Running Back

Fantasy football dynasties can still be built on the shoulders of running backs, even though the NFL is a pass-first league built around quarterbacks and receiving corps. The running back position is not be loaded with as many 1,000-yard workhorses as there was 5-10 years ago, and that makes it even more important to have […]

Case Keenum to the Broncos - Fantasy Spin

Despite leading the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC Championship game, Case Keenum was unceremoniously replaced with the huge free agent signing of Kirk Cousins. Keenum immediately found a new home with the Denver Broncos on a two-year deal worth $36 million. Obviously this is a massive upgrade for all Denver fantasy options, so we can […]

Dion Lewis to the Titans - Fantasy Spin

It is fair to say that the single most obvious offseason move was the Titans release of DeMarco Murray. As early as last summer, it was abundantly clear that the Titans were done with Murray after the 2017 season. Once Murray was released, nothing really changed for Derrick Henry because Henry's 2018 value was always […]
