Welcome to the NFL offseason, RotoBallers! NFL players and coaches are perhaps enjoying some well-deserved time off; however, for us RotoBallers, there is no such thing as time off! As NFL owners and coaches prepare for the combine and offseason acquisitions, we RotoBallers get in the lab and look to provide our readers with the […]
Wide receiver has become arguably the most important position in terms of building a championship dynasty fantasy football team. Like every other position, though, wide receivers do not stay at the top of their games forever. There comes a time when every successful pass-catcher starts to see their game decline. You’ll never be able to […]
It's easy to adjust our expectations season by season for fantasy football players and base the majority of our opinions on how their previous season went. But sometimes, other factors at play might have given them a boost before they regress, which can leave you with an asset that falls greatly in value in dynasty […]
The 2025 NFL offseason is underway, and the trade rumor mill is turning. Several big-name players could get moved over the next few weeks. While many trade rumors are nonsense, sometimes a blockbuster deal comes from a trade rumor. Let’s look at the ideal landing spot for nine of the biggest trade rumors in the […]
The completely risk-averse of the world's population might not be the best suited to play fantasy football. Boom-or-bust players can just as often get fantasy teams into the playoffs and win them championships as it can cause them to lose in the postseason or not make it past the regular season at all. The biggest […]

The 2024 NFL season is now behind us, and it's never too early to prepare for the 2025 fantasy football draft season.

The Washington Commanders made a big trade to acquire wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. this offseason. The Commanders and the Houston Texans were two teams that reportedly showed interest in the veteran wideout, but Washington had the best offer for Samuel. In return, the San Francisco 49ers received a fifth-round pick. Acquiring Samuel was a […]
2024 was not a bad year for tight ends in the NFL and fantasy football. Three tight ends (San Francisco’s George Kittle, Las Vegas’ Brock Bowers, and Arizona’s Trey McBride) all had over 1,100 receiving yards. That had not happened since 2018. There was not even one 1,100-yard tight end in 2023, let alone three. […]
The 2025 NFL Combine is now in the books. The first significant action of any kind we get to see after the Super Bowl, the combine is an exciting time for rookie prospects, who are getting their first chance to show their skills outside of their college play.
