Kalen Ballage (RB, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~150 I do expect this ADP to rise significantly as we get closer and closer to draft season since Ballage has been practicing with the starters in Miami, but I believe Kenyan Drake is still going to start the year as the starter. Once that becomes clear, Ballage's ADP […]
Dexter Williams (RB, GB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target In Your Final Round Current ADP: ~290 Once your draft is approaching its conclusion, the vast majority of players that you had originally planned to target will no longer be available. However, that should not persuade you to become apathetic about your final selections, because the final rounds still contain players who […]
Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall Current ADP: ~170 Last year, the Ravens run game was unlocked once Lamar Jackson took over as quarterback, with Gus Edwards rushing for 654 yards and a pair of touchdowns over the final seven games. Edwards was highly productive over that stretch, but there's a reason he finds himself virtually locked out of […]
Lamar Miller Gets a Boost? Heck, No!
The news hit as a bit of a stunner on the RotoBaller SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio show with myself and Anthony Aniano Sunday morning. D’Onta Foreman was being waived by the Houston Texans. The immediate reaction was of some disbelief, and maybe some overreaction about the fallout. Ever since he was drafted in 2017, Foreman […]
How to Value 2019 QB/RB Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)
Dynasty franchises don't restart, they reload. Rookie drafts are meant to continually infuse youth to rosters and introduce the next generation of fantasy stars.

Miles Sanders Continues To Receive Plenty Of Hype
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has put an injury during minicamp well in the rear-view mirror, and beat writer Zack Rosenblatt feels Sanders has easily been the most impressive running back on the team through 10 training camp practices.

Keith Ford Cut Loose By The Colts
The Indianapolis Colts waived running back Keith Ford on Monday, the same day they added RB D'Onta Foreman off waivers from the Houston Texans.

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will see less snaps this upcoming season.

Leonard Fournette Could Factor In Pass Game
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should play a role in the passing game this year, says John Oehser of Jaguars.com. While we heard the same thing before last season, the Jaguars had a strong pass-catching back in T.J. Yeldon at that point. Now, Fournette's main backups work much better as early-down guys, so there […]
Sony Michel Impressing Catching The Ball
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has been quickly improving as a pass catcher out of the backfield during practices.

D'Onta Foreman Finds Work In Indianapolis
Free-agent running back D'Onta Foreman (Texans) didn't stay unemployed for long, as the Indianapolis Colts snapped him up off waivers on Monday.

Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~220 Overall Current ADP: ~250 Talk about a deep sleeper.

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is looking more like a professional at camp by the day.

Khalfani Muhammad Shines vs Falcons In Hall Of Fame Game
The Broncos have a ton of options at RB and that list grew with the signing of Theo Riddick on Friday. Muhammad has a long way to go until he finds himself on the team, but he's doing everything in his control up to this point. His name was already being thrown around as someone […]
Jaguars Sign Roc Thomas
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas. Thomas will serve a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy to open the season, so Jacksonville signing him while that looms over his head suggests that the team sees him as an actual piece for the team and not someone who'll […]
Chris Carson Looks Good On Saturday
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson ran for a touchdown during scrimmage on Saturday. Carson, who had surgery on his knee this past offseason, ran for 1,151 yards and nine touchdowns in 2018.

Ezekiel Elliott Remains on Vacation as Cowboys Enter Week 2 of Training Camp
Elliott has until just August 6th to report if he wants to remain an unrestricted free agent in 2021. It certainly doesn't look like that will happen, as recent reports have suggested this could drag into the regular season. Elliott does have more leverage than any other RB in this league, and Jerry Jones isn't […]
Taiwan Jones Having Strong Camp
Early on in training camp, it looked like the Houston Texans were set to roll with Josh Ferguson as their third-down back, but veteran running back Taiwan Jones has come on strong lately in the battle for that spot. Jones has been practicing with Houston's starters at times and the veteran has plenty of experience […]
Alexander Mattison Solid Late-Round Handcuff
Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison could offer some intriguing value in the late rounds of 2019 fantasy drafts, both for his handcuff status behind the oft-injured Dalvin Cook and for his standalone value in what looks to be a more balanced offense this season. Run-game-guru Gary Kubiak recently said that Mattison has "shown […]
Damarea Crockett Getting Goal-Line Carries In Camp
Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett has been splitting goal-line carries with the recently released D'Onta Foreman in training camp.

The 28-year-old played six seasons in Detroit before being released by the team this past offseason, finishing with just 1,023 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 288 attempts.

The team wasn't happy with Foreman's training camp performance and head coach […]
Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR
Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]
