Fantasy Five: Heisman Hopefuls to Watch for in the NFL in 2018

We know. It's hard to think about your 2018 fantasy football draft while you're still preparing for this season's selections. But with gaming centered on college sports significantly limited by those pesky regulators, we here at Rotoballer College Sports HQ need to be focused on the future. Otherwise, we'd be spending all our time in […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (1/10/17)

All the games have been played. By now, we all know which team is the best in the country. The other top teams? Subjective. Arguably. So for our final rankings, we'll give you a preview of the players from the top teams who may be factors in your NFL fantasy drafts next fall (team won-loss […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/5/16)

In all the talk this weekend about point spreads and margins of victory--with both being the key for some teams with BCS playoff hopes--it's worth reminding you, dear reader, that apparently it's okay to openly discuss wagering on college football, as long as it involves betting on the games, and not on individual player performance. […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/28/16)

Ohio State presents college football with a very modern problem. The Buckeyes, at least if the Twitter-sphere is to be believed, will likely play for a national crown but won't play for a Big Ten championship, and have said they had no interest in playing for the conference title, preferring instead to rest a week longer […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/21/16)

If we could skip the second and third spots in our Top 10 and rank teams #1 and then #4 through #12--without you, dear readers, thinking we were sniffing too much glue--then by gum we would do it. That's how strongly we feel that only one team, Alabama, has proved on a consistent basis that […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/14/16)

If there's one lesson to be learned from the events of this past week, it's that we should not put a lot of credence into polls. And no, we're not talking about what happened on November 8. The tops of the BCS, the AP and the Coach's polls were all left in tatters after a […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/7/16)

You don't have to be a history major to know that Ben Franklin once said: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." With all due respect to Franklin, we'd add one thing to his list: that Alabama, Clemson and Michigan are the top three college football teams in […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/31/16)

  It may be Halloween today but, for us, the real scary stuff happened on Saturday. That's because a few teams that had been the bedrock of our Top 10 rankings--and a few others who had been a gleam in our eyes--did the unthinkable and unforgivable... they lost. By the time Brian Hill (a borderline […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/24/16)

We still have a number of undefeated teams vying for top-four spots in the BCS rankings--meaning, one loss effectively ends a team's chances of lifting the only trophy that matters at the end. So, bye-bye Texas A&M, this week's biggest loser--even though there's no shame in losing at Tuscaloosa. And so long Ohio State (well, […]

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

Here at Rotoballer World College Football Headquarters--a place that makes the typical NFL locker room look like the men's room at Penn Station--we've made a bold decision: We are declaring the season over. That's right, just seven weeks in, if nothing else the most recent slate of games has reinforced our belief that the BCS […]

Week 5 Sits And Starts - Sorensen's Matchup Analysis

Week after week, we never know who is going to blow up the stat sheet for a great game. Chances are he is either on the fantasy waiver wire or on your bench. So, what do you do? Submit a waiver claim and get him, making sure to start him the following week. Result? He […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/3/16)

  Mid-term exams came early this fall for a number of the top football programs in the country. There were match-ups between high-ranked opponents--in the Big Ten, the SEC, the Pac-12 and the ACC--with some teams facing their first big tests of the still-young season. And, as with all exams, some passed, and some failed. […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/26/16)

The English majors among us will know the Charles Dickens classic A Tale of Two Cities. For us college football junkies, however, we suggest a more appropriate title: A Tale of Two Halves. Ole Miss had cornered the market for second-half collapses until Week 4, when the likes of Florida and Notre Dame joined them, […]

Week 3 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Week 2 of the 2016 NFL season was devastating to the running back position around the league. Players to the likes of Adrian Peterson, Ameer Abdullah and Danny Woodhead all suffered season-ending, or at best, long-term injuries that will linger until the tail end of the year while Doug Martin, Jonathan Stewart and Arian Foster […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/19/16)

  Comebacks and close calls were all the rage in Week 3, leading to some tumult in the Top 25 in college football. Only a few changes to our Top 10, though. Either we know how to pick 'em or we're just lucky. Below are our CFB rankings after Week 3, from our usual fantasy […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/12/16)

After Week 2 of the college football season, Central Michigan and Western Michigan both look like contenders for the BCS playoffs. Well, no, not really, but teams like the Chippewas (that’s Central Michigan, we think) have put college football’s elites—sometimes with the help of poor officiating—on notice: The meek shall inherit the earth. Or at […]

Week 1 Sits and Starts - Sorensen's Matchup Analysis

Year after year. Week after week. Every sports analyst. Every sports website. They all voice their opinions of which players they like and which players they do not like to play this week. The most notable column out there is Matthew Berry’s. The fantasy expert has the ability to relate his everyday adventures to fantasy. […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/5/16)

The NCAA’s television partners trumpeted the week that was as the “greatest” opening weekend in the history of college football. In fact, the slate of games lived up to this over-hype, but not for the reasons originally intended. While pundits and pigskin propagandists waxed on (and on) about match-ups between the “Power Five” elites, programs […]

Boom or Bust Running Backs for 2016

Running backs are probably the most desired position to have on your fantasy football team. It is the back-bone and foundation that your team sits on. However, in most recent years of fantasy football, it has been hard to find running backs that will receive a lot of touches, be productive, and don't have to […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Running Backs Set to Disappoint

Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me!  In fact, shame on me so much I should be kicked out of my fantasy league. Just like any human being, fantasy football owners do not like getting fooled twice. If a player burns them, and costs them the chance of winning their league […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (8/22/16)

The 2016 NCAA College Football season starts in two weeks, and we can't wait for the games to begin. The third season of the BCS playoff system promises many twists and turns, with teams falling in and out of the four-team "tournament" spots. The so-called experts like the Alabama Crimson Tide to roll to yet […]

Running Back Handcuffs to Avoid in 2016

The only thing less exciting than drafting a running back to handcuff the top tailback on your fantasy football team is drafting a third-string running back who is not handcuffing anybody. My last two articles revolved around the handcuff running backs that fantasy owners should eye down during their draft days.  This article deals with […]

2016 Top Ten Running Back Keeper Values

Keeper Value Rankings are intended for Keeper Leagues in which a fantasy owner must forfeit a designated draft round in order to keep a player into the up-coming season.

The Next Best Four Running Back Handcuffs

My last article was about the top four handcuff running backs in fantasy football.  This article is about the next four. Not all handcuff running backs are built equally. Some are obvious backups that will only get more than five touches per game if the man ahead of them on the depth chart pulls a hamstring […]

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - C.J. Prosise

Bias. It's a prejudice best left out of fantasy sports, yet I couldn't help but feel it when the Seattle Seahawks drafted C.J. Prosise. The biggest reason? Because I have Thomas Rawls in my league of record and the selection of Prosise worries me in terms of Rawls' value. Prosise is a talented, multi-dimensional back […]
