Ahead of the Game - College Devy Prospects to Watch (Week 1)
Let's be very clear about something. Last week was a great appetizer, but the entree that is the college football season has just arrived. Not only is there a strong slate of college football games lined up for this weekend, featuring several top 25 matchups, but we're also treated to some college football talent that […]
Kenneth Dixon Does Little Against Redskins
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon did little to nothing in his effort to secure a roster spot Thursday night against the Redskins. The oft-injured Dixon tallied just 12 yards on five carries and dropped his only target out of the backfield. It was a night to forget for Dixon, who might not have many […]
Breshad Perriman Does Little Against Washington
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman did little to nothing in his campaign for a roster spot Thursday night against the Redskins. The oft-injured receiver caught all three of his targets for just 24 yards, but more notably missed a block on a Mark Andrews catch and run that could've been extended for a touchdown. […]
Mark Andrews Shows Well In Start
Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Mark Andrews took full advantage of his start in place of injured teammate Hayden Hurst in Thursday's preseason matchup with the Redskins. Andrews reeled in all three of his targets for 61 yards, including a 45-yard catch-and-run play early in the first half. The Ravens selected Hurst in the first […]
Lamar Jackson Finishes Preseason Strong
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed nine of 15 passes with no touchdowns through the air in Thursday's preseason finale against the Redskins. The rookie added a touchdown on the ground to go along with 25 yards on three carries. While it's a step backward from what the Ravens coaching staff wanted to see from […]

Rookie Rankings and Draft Analysis
Selecting which rookies to invest in can be a major headache for fantasy owners. Early on it is really tough to know what role a rookie will have early or whether his game can translate from college. At least now we can see roughly what role rookies are expected to have with their teams in […]
Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Pierre Camus
Next up to bat, stepping up the plate... wait, wrong sport. I've been all in on football for the past month or so between drafts, mocks, rankings, and stalking Josh Gordon's Twitter feed, but I am a baseball junkie too (and football and hockey and soccer and table tennis and rugby and anything that resembles […]
Last-Minute Draft Strategies
Lucky Fantasy Players! Why are you lucky? Because it's draft time. Is there a better time of the season? It's like Friday night with the whole weekend ahead of us. Or the first day of an amazing vacation. And most of you will screw it up. Let me guess, you're going to draft best value […]
Tales From the Turn - Managing Snake Drafts With a Late Pick
I did a few mocks recently in preparation for a long-running league I won last season. 10 teams, ESPN standard scoring; nothing fancy just a group of buddies who started it to find more reasons to watch football together. The casual nature of the league has extended itself to the draft prep process, especially since […]
Breshad Perriman Expected To Be Cut
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman is projected to be cut when rosters are trimmed down this weekend. The 2015 first-round pick has failed to meet expectations and has been outplayed in training camp by the likes of Jordan Lasley and Janarion Grant. Perriman has just 43 catches for 576 yards and three touchdowns in […]
Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Jason Katz
In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes the hell out of them because they know I'm just complaining about how LeSean McCoy is going to finish with zero touchdowns because I'm annoyed it's Week 3 and he hasn't scored […]
Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Bill Dubiel
I mean, if you're not putting out absolute fire takes in the preseason, can you REALLY call yourself a fantasy football analyst? Some of Rotoballer's big dogs are bringing you their bold predictions for the 2018 fantasy football season, and we might as well kick it off with the biggest dog in the yard, right? […]
Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again." Unfortunately, the classic proverb from the eloquent President George W. Bush is not entirely accurate when it comes to fantasy football. Every year, fantasy gamers are sucked in by rookie hype and every year, many of them fail to live up to expectations. […]
Teddy Bridgewater - A Path to Start in 2018?
It’s reasonable to be a little bearish on the Teddy Bridgewater’s chances of playing a real NFL snap in 2018. In fact, it’s actually a safe bet. Las Vegas sports books would agree with that assertion, by the way. Of five prominent sports books that provided futures odds on quarterbacks to win the passing yards […]
Kenneth Dixon Does Nothing On Saturday
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon failed to do much of anything in his extended showing Saturday night against the Dolphins. The oft-injured Dixon accumulated just two yards on five carries but managed to reel in all three of his passing targets for limited yards. Dixon's injury-plagued recent past coupled with a mediocre showing this […]
Lamar Jackson Shows Improvement Against Dolphins
Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson stuffed the stat sheet in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Dolphins. Jackson completed seven of his 10 passes, including one for a score, while adding a rushing touchdown as well. Baltimore's coaching staff implored Jackson to improve his throwing approach throughout the week, and the rookie did just that […]

Why ZeroRB Didn't Work in 2017
For someone drafting 8th in a 10-man league last year, going Zero-RB could have potentially netted them a top-three round haul of Mike Evans, Jordy Nelson, and Demaryius Thomas. On draft day, this is an amazing stack of WR1s. By the end of the year, it's weekly middling to poor performances that the owners' highest draft […]
Target Regression Candidates - Tight Ends
You are confronted by multiple challenges when determining which tight ends to select for your rosters. The hefty investment that is necessary in order to secure one of the highly productive options guarantees that an enticing collection of running backs and wide receivers will elude you during a critical early round. But you are also […]
Ravens Could Look To Trade Robert Griffin III?
With Lamar Jackson emerging as a top candidate for the primary backup quarterback job behind Joe Flacco, it is being reported that the Baltimore Ravens may look to trade quarterback Robert Griffin III. Jason La Canfora noted that the Dallas Cowboys could potentially be a suitor for Griffin's services behind Dak Prescott. It would be […]
Hayden Hurst To Have Surgery On Foot
Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst will undergo a procedure for a stress fracture in his foot, and is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks. Hurst had shown well early-on in camp, but this will most certainly be a setback as foot injuries tend to linger. Look for fellow rookie Mark Andrews and oft-injured tight […]
Kenneth Dixon Returns To Practice Thursday
After an off-day Tuesday and missing practice Wednesday, Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon returned to practice Thursday. It is being reported that Dixon "isn't moving around like he's at full strength" which should come as concern to owners considering drafting him as Alex Collins' handcuff. After a strong showing in Monday's preseason matchup against […]
Lamar Jackson Looking To Take Less Hits
In an interview Wednesday, Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg expressed concerns about his rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson taking too many hits in the pocket. Jackson has rushed for a total of 72 yards this preseason, but has not shown too well in the pocket despite the Ravens offensive line finally being back at full […]

Two weeks ago I brought you my first installment of late-round running backs to target if you choose to go ZeroRB in your drafts this year. With two preseason games in the books, and more information, things have changed in the running back landscape and I am giving my first update. This article will cover […]
NFL Preseason Week 2 Review - Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - AFC North
Mrs. Clinton (my wife, not the politician) is a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan, so when she tells you that the players she wants on her team for her second fantasy season are among the many Lambeau Leapers, you might just smile politely and roll your eyes. But she'll also happily tell you about how […]

Josh Doctson (WR, WAS) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: ~140 ANALYSIS: Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson provides everything from an aesthetics perspective that we could desire in a big play wide receiver, and while expectations were high heading into last season, Doctson did not completely disappoint amassing six touchdown receptions on just 35 receptions. While the receptions number leaves much […]
Michael Crabtree Connects For Big Gain On Lone Target
Newly-acquired Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree hauled in his only target from quarterback Joe Flacco in Monday night's preseason match-up with the Colts. The connection was good for a 29-yard gain along the sidelines. Both Crabtree and new teammate John Brown, who was also a free agent signing, have shown early chemistry with their […]
