Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings - NCAA Top 10 (9/4/18)

Conventional wisdom suggests that you don't learn much from the opening weeks of college football season. Heck, we've probably said as much ourselves in this very space. And at cocktail parties. (Don't worry. We always leave early.) However, the truth is you can gauge a lot by how the top teams perform against their--usually--lesser opponents […]

Aaron Jones Sees Significant Action

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran the ball nine times for 34 yards with a touchdown in Thursday’s preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He added three receptions for 21 yards on four targets. Jones had missed much of the preseason with a hamstring injury, so while most of the Green Bay […]

Packers Coach Praises Jamaal Williams

As reported by ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy gave praise to running back Jamaal Williams. McCarthy said, “He's really poised to have a big year. I think we'll be talking about him at the end of the season as someone who made the second-year jump." It is important not to […]

Aaron Jones Hopeful to Make Preseason Debut

According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) appears to have gotten past the worst of his injury. Head coach Mike McCarthy is hopeful that he can play a little in this week’s preseason game. Jones has missed much of the training camp because of the hamstring injury. The injury […]

Ankle Injury Will Limit Jamaal Williams in Practice

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that running back Jamaal Williams (ankle) is still banged up and will be limited in practice. Williams injured his ankle in a preseason matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. There have not been many specific details about the injury, but there does not appear to be any concern […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (08/20/18)

Pretty soon we'll be flipping burgers and watching the Fourth of July fireworks before college football games. Like it or not, the "fall" season is upon us, with some teams--though, granted, none of the "big boys"--kicking off on Saturday. So, while we have to wait another week or so for the top teams to start […]

Ty Montgomery Gets Some Work Against Pittsburgh

Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery got some light work in the second preseason game. He ran the ball four times for 10 yards. He added two receptions for 13 yards. Montgomery is primarily going to be used as a pass-catching running back. The former wide receiver has good size and strength but has […]

Aaron Jones' Absence Continues in Training Camp

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) still shows no signs of participating in practice. Jones is out with what is claimed to be just some tightness in his hamstring, however there appears to be no timetable on his return. Jones is suspended for the first two weeks of the regular season for a […]

Ty Montgomery Practices Returning Kickoffs

Green Bay running back Ty Montgomery took some reps returning kickoffs in Monday’s practice. Green Bay’s incumbent return man, wide receiver Trevor Davis (hamstring) missed practice. Rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling also took some reps. Montgomery is almost certainly not going to be Green Bay’s return man in 2018. There are more effective options on […]

Jamaal Williams Getting Majority of First-Team Reps

Through the beginning of training camp, Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has been getting the majority of the first-team repetitions. Fellow running back Ty Montgomery has been getting most of the reps with the no-huddle offense. It is still too early into camp to start making any projections about snap counts with much […]

Aaron Jones Suspended for Two Games

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has been suspended for the first two games of the NFL season for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Jones was arrested in October of 2017 on a marijuana-related charge. It is unclear what Green Bay’s running back rotation will look like in 2018. Jones and fellow running backs […]

Aaron Jones Focused on Strengthening Lower Body

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had a roller coaster of a rookie year in 2017. In order to avoid some of the lows, he has reportedly been emphasizing increasing his lower body strength this offseason. In 2017, he demonstrated that he was a more dangerous threat with the ball in his hands than […]

Early 2018 Sleepers - Running Backs

It is never too early to figure out which running backs are going to be the best sleepers in fantasy football next season – even when this season’s Super Bowl was played less than a week ago. Even though the NFL is still a passing league dominated by its quarterbacks and wide receivers, running backs […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (1/9/18)

A conventional top 10--after last night's epic Championship Game--would be the essence of anti-climactic. We all know which team reigns supreme, and they wear crimson and white. But which players on the top teams will be factors in NFL fantasy leagues in 2018 and beyond? Here are the names to watch from the teams we […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/3/17)

They say timing is everything. It's also the key to comedy. So, while some of you may find it funny that we're bothering to do a top 10 two hours before the only rankings that matter--those of the BCS Selection Committee--are released, we don't care. Because we have our own thoughts as to the top teams--and […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/27/17)

We believe it was Churchill who once said, "Anything can happen in the Iron Bowl." Okay, it wasn't Churchill. He probably never heard of the Iron Bowl. Still, the old axiom is certainly true, and it is one that we here at Rotoballer College Football HQ nevertheless forgot. Again. With that in mind, here's our […]

Latavius Murray (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Latavius Murray has taken over control of the Minnesota backfield, scoring four touchdowns in his last four games. He punched his way into the end zone twice last week, rushing 15 times for 95 yards. Jerick McKinnon is still around and will see […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/20/17)

Cupcakes and cream puffs. No, we're not planning our dessert for Thanksgiving Day, we're calling into question the rules--or lack thereof--that allow top teams in the FBS to schedule FCS teams, and other softies, toward the end of the season. Sure, by doing so, these big teams don't hurt their postseason prospects any, but they […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/13/17)

Commentators from every major media outlet that covers college football are falling over themselves trying to be the first to say that Auburn, with two losses, still has a shot at the BCS playoffs. And, to be fair, the Tigers' convincing thumping of Georgia on Saturday has done them a lot of favors--and left SEC […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/6/17)

Boy, Saturday sure was a great day. As fans, we loved all the upsets and, thus, upheaval among the top teams. As the guys who put together the weekly rankings for Rotoballer, however? Not so much. Ah well, there are worse jobs. Here's our Top 10 after another crazy weekend as of November 6, 2017 […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/30/17)

It's not how you start. It's how you finish. Vince Lombardi said that. Or was it Knute Rockne? For all we know, it was Dabo Swinney. Or maybe even Urban Meyer. Because it looks like their respective programs could have the last laugh come January. Here's our Top 10 after a topsy-turvy weekend as of […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/23/17)

It's not even November, and Army has already accepted a bowl bid. And perennial Ivy-League doormat Columbia is 6-0. Oh, and while we're handing out praise, Rutgers--Rutgers!--has won two Big Ten games in a row. Okay, enough about FBS also-rans. Let's get into the nitty-gritty of the division. Here's our Top 10 as of October […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/16/17)

Sometimes, we think it would be easier to rank the 10 worst teams in the country. But then we remember that these games are played by kids--as we noted last week--and that that would be cruel. And not to mention bad karma. And we have enough of that. Anyway, it's not as if any of […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/9/17)

It's easy to forget that the kids banging into each other on Saturday afternoons are just that--kids. So, with that in mind, we hope Iowa State QB Jacob Park, not typically a factor in these parts, is okay. Having said that, after seeing his pregame walk-in prior to his team's loss to Texas last week, […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/2/17)

We're not big on apps. We're old school. Which means, of course, we're old. But we're also big on on all types of football. Which is why we were in Glasgow yesterday. So while we may not always feel comfortable with technology, certain apps--we won't mention any names--allowed us to keep up with goings-on on […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/25/17)

Stop us if you've heard this one before, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Well, at least in hand grenades. Some of our top teams had some close calls this week, but only one fell victim and dropped from our rankings, and it wasn't even close. Here's our Top 10 as of […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/18/17)

Just spent a few days--on assignment, as we journalists like to say--in Vegas. Sadly, we didn't have even a moment to place a bet at a--legal--sports book. Too bad. We think we might have made some coin on a few of the teams in our rankings for this week. With no gambling wins to drown […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/11/17)

Call this week a washout. No, not just because a few games had to be cancelled or postponed due to Hurricane Irma (thoughts are with you, friends in Florida), but because most of the big teams faced rather small opponents. Alabama took on Fresno State... Wisconsin "battled" Florida Atlantic... However, those teams that did take […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/4/17)

College football is back, which almost makes working on Labor Day worth it. Almost. Unfortunately, Rotoballer College Sports HQ is a non-union shop. Oh well, one week down and 12, 13, 14 or... more to go, and what have we learned? Other than the fact that Alabama is better than Florida State? Not much. Here's […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (8/28/17)

We're in denial. Summer isn't over. College football hasn't started--at least not for Rice--and Clemson didn't really beat Alabama in last season's BCS Championship Game. Okay, we know the last one isn't "fake news." And, indeed, college football begins in earnest with a full slate of games this weekend and, as usual, Nick Saban's Alabama […]
