Justice Hill, Chris Moore Miss Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) did not practice on Wednesday. Hill saw just 55 carries in his rookie season and is behind Mark Ingram II and Gus Edwards on the depth chart, so he's firmly off the radar for starting lineups in Week 1 against the Browns. […]

Late-Round Lottery Tickets and Breakout Candidates
The 2020 fantasy football draft season is finally upon us. One thing fantasy managers should be routinely doing is mock drafting to learn where the players they are targeting might go in their drafts. You can never mock draft too much. Another reason to mock draft is to learn which players are available at the […]
Boom and Bust Draft Picks: Running Back Edition
Many fantasy football managers are familiar with the concept of “boom” and “bust” players by now. “Boom” guys are your overachievers. They are the guys from high school who were voted the most likely to clean porta-potties for a living, and yet they ended up becoming the most tenured Senator in Washington. In fantasy terms, these […]
J.K. Dobbins A Borderline Flex Option Against Cleveland
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is a risky option in Week 1 against the Browns. Although it's expected that the rookie receives a prominent role in 2020, he may concede carries to Mark Ingram II, especially during goal-line opportunities. Until Dobbins' workload is revealed, his presence in fantasy lineups is risky, particularly for those […]
Mark Ingram II Still Has Value In Week 1 Despite Logjam
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II still has fantasy value heading into 2020 despite his projected regression from last year. Although the veteran will likely concede carries to rookie J.K. Dobbins, particularly later on in the season, he should still be considered an asset by fantasy managers. The 30-year-old should get his touches, especially […]
Marquise Brown Could Make Some Noise Against Cleveland
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown could be in line for a successful year in 2020, with that trend possibly starting in Week 1 against Cleveland. Hollywood had flashes of efficiency throughout his 14 appearances during the regular season in 2019, compiling two games with multiple trips to the end zone and seven games with […]
Mark Andrews Ready To Roll Against Cleveland
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews should be considered a must-start against the Browns in Week 1. Cleveland allowed 12.51 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends in 2019, and after some key departures on the defensive end during the offseason, that number may not improve in 2020. With most teams focused on stopping […]
Lamar Jackson Draws Favorable Matchup On Sunday
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has a favorable matchup heading into Week 1 against Cleveland. While the Browns held its own against opposing quarterbacks in some areas last season, it gave up a second-worst 382 yards and three touchdowns to that position in 2019. The reigning MVP is undoubtedly a capable passer; however, the recipe […]
This is the Season to Maximize #AllBenchRB!
Fantasy Bretheren, listen up. There has never been a year that is more fitting for #AllBenchRB. Just ask @Raphstradamus and El Camello! These suckas each drafted six bench RBs in their league of record to shoot for fantasy gold. Actually I can’t support that last statement, but if you talk to them, tell them they […]
Michael Florio's Updated Draft Rankings vs Industry Consensus
Every single season there is a hunger for fantasy football rankings.

Frank Ammirante's Updated PPR Rankings vs. RotoBaller Consensus
We're right in the heart of draft season, so it's the perfect time to release my final PPR rankings. These are tiered rankings organized by position.

Justin Carter's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football
It's time for my favorite piece to write every year -- my bold predictions for the upcoming NFL season. Last year's bold predictions went...okay. I hit on Leonard Fournette becoming a receiving threat and was basically correct on Josh Allen, who was almost a top-five fantasy quarterback. My Albert Wilson take, however, was something we […]

Lamar Jackson Claims To Be Fully Healthy

Marquise Brown (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: It didn’t take long for Marquise Brown to acclimate to the NFL. In the Week 1 throttling of the Dolphins, the speedster smoked the Miami secondary all day, notching four receptions for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Due to the Ravens being a run-first team, Brown never […]
J.K. Dobbins (RB, BAL) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~78 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~94 ANALYSIS: Dobbins is being drafted at RB35 and is currently the fifth-highest drafted rookie at the position (Cam Akers is the fourth with an ADP of RB25 and 60 OVR). He also has workload concerns as he projects to start the year behind Mark Ingram II on […]
Hayden Epinette’s Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football
With a strange set of circumstances surrounding this NFL season, there may be far more unexpected breakouts and stunning disappointments than ever before. This could be the golden age of bold predictions, as many surprising claims could become a reality. On the other hand, it could be unpredictable in the opposite direction, with the consensus […]
Rookie Roulette: Which First-Year RB Is the Best Value?
When it comes to drafting rookies, many fantasy owners know the potential risks that come with drafting an unproven player in terms of NFL experience. No matter how prolific a player may have been in college, the NFL is a whole different animal and adjustment periods vary depending by player. For 2020, an impressive slate […]
The Incendiary Sophomore Ready To Explode: Mecole Hardman
Finding the next breakout player in fantasy football is not always an easy task. If it were, we would all be winning more championships. However, sometimes a player jumps off the screen and the analytics jump off the page, making it a little easier. Kansas City Chiefs sophomore wide receiver Mecole Hardman is such a player. […]
Updated Running Back Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)
The NFL might be a quarterback-driven, pass-first league these days, but you are not going to win a fantasy football league without a decent running back corps. Even though more NFL teams are going with a running-back-by-committee philosophy rather than relying on a running back to be a three-down workhorse, fantasy rosters have to be […]
