Davante Adams Quiet in Second Preseason Game
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams saw only limited action in his second preseason game. After catching an impressive touchdown in the first game, Adams saw only one target against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. He converted that target for a 27 yard reception. Green Bay is clearly playing it safe with their number […]
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Stands Out in Preseason Game
There were not too many notable performances in the Green Bay Packers first preseason game when they played the Tennessee Titans. However, rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling made a strong case for himself. He caught five passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. This includes a 51 yarder in the third quarter. Valdes-Scantling was the […]
Geronimo Allison Maintains Starting Role
Through almost two weeks of Training Camp, Green Bay wide receiver Geronimo Allison is still in position to see a large amount of snaps in 2018. Allison is technically third on the depth chart, but Green Bay uses three wide receiver sets as much as anybody in the NFL and treats it as their base […]
No Question Marks Surrounding Davante Adams
There are a lot of unknowns that linger throughout Green Bay’s training camp, but wide receiver Davante Adams is not one of them. It is not yet clear who will be starting in Jordy Nelson spot out wide, whether it be Geronimo Allison, a rookie, or someone else. However, the person who will be on […]
Randall Cobb Returns to Practice
Green Bay wide receiver Randall Cobb (ankle) was in pads for Monday’s practice. He sat out Saturday’s annual Family Night practice with an injured ankle. It was reported that the injury was related to a surgery he had for his ankle this offseason. At this point, it seems his absence was merely precautionary after he […]
Randall Cobb Seen Wearing a Walking Boot
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb was spotted by Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel wearing a walking boot on his right foot. Cobb is reportedly dealing with a mild ankle injury and he described the walking boot as temporary. Cobb did participate in organized team activities this offseason but has supposedly been dealing […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Two Things Fantasy Football Players Assume Will Happen (But Won’t)
You need more than a crystal ball or an intelligent football brain to accurately predict what will happen in the NFL every year. Heading into the 2016 campaign, fantasy football owners probably thought Dallas’ Dak Prescott had no chance of being the best rookie quarterback in the NFL, that Matt Jones would easily emerge as […]
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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
