Broderick Jones Has Earned Solid Reviews
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive tackle Broderick Jones didn't get first-team repetitions in offseason practices, but he earned solid reviews from his coaches and teammates.

"He's talented, he's young, he's athletic, he's got […]
Peter Skoronski Likely To Serve As Interior Offensive Lineman
Tennessee Titans rookie offensive lineman Peter Skoronski saw valuable repetitions in offseason practices against Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.

Darnell Wright Expected To Start At Right Tackle
The Chicago Bears have had a game of musical chairs along their offensive line well into training camp in past offseasons, but this year has been different, as they exited mandatory minicamp knowing their projected five starters. That includes right tackle, where rookie Darnell Wright has been running with the first-team offense since being taken […]
Quarterback Fantasy Football Rankings - The King's Draft Rankings and Analysis
In the past, the usual recommended approach to drafting fantasy football quarterbacks was to avoid them until at least the middle rounds while loading up at other skill positions. The QB position does remain deep enough for those who still want to be patient before taking their starter in a one-QB league format. There is […]

Paris Johnson Jr. Has Been Impressive
Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr., the sixth overall pick in this year's NFL draft, saw a significant number of repetitions this offseason at both left and right tackle with incumbent left tackle D.J.

Colts To Lean On Anthony Richardson's Running Ability
Whether or not Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson is the starter in Week 1, the Colts are expected to lean on his running ability from Day 1. Consistency was the biggest concern for Richardson coming into the NFL draft, and that has been a fair assessment throughout spring practices as he works to perfect […]
C.J. Stroud's Ball Placement Standing Out
Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud's ball placement has stood out throughout the spring and his passes have rarely been off target. Veteran quarterback Case Keenum has been impressed with Stroud's presence, saying, "I would have thought he had been here a year, been in the league, been a four-, five-year vet." Stroud hasn't run […]
Bryce Young On Clear Path To Be Week 1 Starter

Is Tyler Huntley or Josh Johnson the Backup QB to Lamar Jackson? Fantasy Football Outlook
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has battled injuries over the past two years, missing the last five games of each season. That said, rostering his backup quarterback could prove to be a smart strategy in superflex and two-QB leagues. Tyler Huntley has started in most games Jackson has missed but has delivered mixed results with […]
Teven Jenkins Moving To Left Guard
Chicago Bears offensive guard Teven Jenkins, who went from a college right tackle to the Bears' left tackle to right guard last year, is now the team's starting left guard after Nate Davis was signed this offseason to play right guard. "Just using your hands and where they aim and where to hit," Jenkins said. […]
Justin Fields' Leadership Standing Out
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has shown notable growth with his leadership this offseason, with left guard Teven Jenkins saying that Fields has been carrying himself "like a 10-year vet." "Just seeing how he commands that huddle and what he wants to see out of all of us, it's like a wake-up call for me […]
Packers Players Believe In Jordan Love
Green Bay Packers players appear to have plenty of confidence in quarterback Jordan Love as he takes over for future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers in 2023. "Jordan can do it," said wide receiver Romeo Doubs. "When you go from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan, Aaron was a really great quarterback, but I believe Jordan can […]
Bailey Zappe The Clear Backup In New England
With New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones looking much more comfortable running the offense this offseason after last year's disappointment, second-year backup Bailey Zappe was clearly in the backup role during offseason practices. He rarely worked with the starting offensive line. However, Zappe may have the upper hand on Jones with his ability to hit […]
Mac Jones' Command As A Field General Has Improved
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones' confidence running the offense is returning after a disappointing sophomore year in 2022. Patriots.com's Evan Lazar writes that Jones' command as a field general at the line of scrimmage is light years ahead of where it was last year. He's already making pre-snap adjustments to protections and routes with […]
Ryan Jensen Impresses At Minicamp
Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen (knee), who missed all of last year with a serious knee injury, looked impressive while running and doing work on the blocking sleds during the team's recent mandatory minicamp practices. Jensen tore three ligaments in his knee, but he was able to avoid surgery and eventually was active in […]
Aaron Stinnie Works At Minicamp
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive guard Aaron Stinnie (knee) was able to do some running and work on the blocking sleds without any signs of a limp during the team's mandatory minicamp practices. It's notable after Stinnie missed all of last season with a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in a preseason game against […]
Sam Darnold May Be Ahead Of Trey Lance
As long as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) is healthy, he's going to be the team's starting quarterback in 2023 after his impressive rookie season. But ESPN's Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday that his guess going into training camp is that Sam Darnold has the edge on the […]
Is Clayton Tune or Colt McCoy the Cardinals Starting QB In Week 1 If Kyler Murray Is Ruled Out?
Arizona Cardinals’ franchise quarterback Kyler Murray tore his ACL in Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season while playing the New England Patriots. The timetable for recovery is 9-12 months, meaning Murray would be back in mid-September in a best-case scenario. It is very unlikely that he is ready by Week 1, and a mid-season […]
Will the Bengals make Joe Burrow the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history? Fantasy Football Outlook
This offseason we have already seen two quarterbacks sign record-breaking contracts. First, Jalen Hurts signed a five-year contract worth $255 million. Then Lamar Jackson bested him with a five-year deal for $260 million. Joe Burrow's rookie contract would have expired at the end of the 2023 season, but the Bengals exercised their fifth-year option. They […]

After a weak 2022 NFL Draft that left a bitter taste in the mouths of QB-needy Superflex teams last year, rookie quarterbacks are back on the radar of Superflex managers. Heading into fantasy football drafts last year, Kenny Pickett’s ceiling was always likely to be a mid-tier QB2. Malik Willis and Desmond Ridder had interesting […]
Top 5 Rebound Candidates for 2023 Fantasy Football
Sometimes, good football players have bad seasons. Sometimes, it's a sign that they've plateaued and are heading toward the end of their career, but that's not always the case. Sometimes, they just had a bad year. For example, Randall Cunningham was a star in the late 1980s and early 1990s for the Eagles, but he […]
RotoBaller Staff Early Superflex Mock Draft Review for 2023 Fantasy Football

Will Russell Wilson Be A Top-12 Fantasy Quarterback In 2023? Fantasy Football Outlook
Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was the 75th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.

Frank Ragnow Dealing With Long-Term Toe Injury
Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (toe) continues to deal with a painful toe injury that he described as "the most severe degree of turf toe." He first suffered the injury in Week 4 of the 2021 season, and it cost him the rest of the year due to surgery and rehab. Ragnow then suffered the […]
Russell Wilson's Efficiency Could Go Up
The Athletic's Nick Kosmider writes that it's clear Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson will more frequently be granted opportunities to spray the ball around the field and give his receivers room to run in new head coach Sean Payton's offense. From 2017-21, the Saints teams coached by Payton were collectively sixth in the league in […]
Broncos Offensive Line Has A Chance To Be Much Better
The Denver Broncos offensive line clearly has a chance to be much better in 2023 than the version that allowed a franchise-record 63 sacks last year, 55 of which were absorbed by quarterback Russell Wilson. The presumed starting O-line of left tackle Garrett Bolles, left guard Ben Powers, center Lloyd Cushenberry, right guard Quinn Meinerz […]
Will Justin Fields be a Top-5 fantasy quarterback in 2023? Fantasy Football Outlook
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields finished as the QB5 in fantasy football in his first full season starting in 2022. Fields was pegged as a terrible passer. His PFF passing grade was a dismal 54.4, and he only completed 60.4% of his passes. Can an injury-prone quarterback with poor passing technique continue to rely on […]
Is Mac Jones Or Bailey Zappe The Patriots Week 1 Starter? Fantasy Football Outlook
The New England Patriots were blessed with the greatest quarterback of all time for nearly two decades. Tom Brady was a gift from the football gods for fans in New England for such a long time, but now that he's gone, they don't know how to feel about any of his replacements. The truth of […]
