The Grass Isn't Greener - Free Agents Whose Value Will Decrease

We are about three months removed from Free Agency. The NFL Draft has come and gone. The fantasy picture is starting to become clearer as we near draft season. Immediately following free agent signings, fantasy analysts all over had instant reactions, and rightfully so. Those reactions were based on the NFL landscape at the time. […]

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year TE Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?

As a dynasty owner preparing for your upcoming rookie draft, the top of your board is probably not littered with tight ends. Nonetheless, it's an important position that requires far more scrutiny from the fantasy owner to pick the right player, since targets are fewer and usage is less than a high volume position like […]

2018 PPR Mock Draft Review: Sleepers

If Rotoballer's first mock draft of the 2018 fantasy football (redraft) season is any indication of what things will look like in August, balance is the operative word. Yet sleepers still lay waiting in the grass. Through three rounds, sixteen running backs and sixteen wide receivers were drafted in the 16-round 12-team PPR draft. Despite […]

Lamar Jackson Signs Rookie Deal

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson signed his four-year rookie deal on Tuesday. The deal includes a fifth-year option. The Ravens traded back up into the first round to select Jackson, who figures to be the heir apparent to Joe Flacco. While Baltimore won't rush Jackson, we can't help but wonder if they'll put him on […]

Born to Run - Starting RB/RB in Fantasy Football Drafts

Way back when I first started playing this wonderful game, this type of article would be superfluous. Obviously you should go RB/RB if you can. That was back in 2003 and for much of the 2000s, there was little debate over the optimal strategy - if you could get two quality RBs in the first […]

Kenneth Dixon Looks To Be Healthy For 2018, Could Make Impact

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon missed 2017 with a meniscus tear and allowed Alex Collins to grab the starting job, which he ran away with. Collins may enter training camp as the starter but Dixon will still get a chance to fight for it. Before the injury, Dixon had impressed his coaches. One big […]

Pat Mahomes vs 2018 QB Rookie Class

Oftentimes, the learning curve for quarterbacks entering the NFL is extremely high. A common trend among NFL coaches is to spend a high draft pick on quarterback talent and then let that quarterback sit and learn from a veteran stopgap signal-caller for a year or two until they are ready to play. For fantasy football, […]

Robert Griffin III Fighting For Career With Baltimore

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III is excited about the 2018 season. He has had a rough going outside of his magical rookie season in 2012. He has suffered injuries, bad playing, a season where he barely saw the field and even a season without an NFL job. He signed with Baltimore hoping to be […]

Joe Flacco Praises Michael Crabtree In May

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is already praising new wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Flacco stated recently about Crabtree, “(He’s) the guy, because he’s got a little different way that he runs the routes. He’s really crafty with it, and he knows when to break away from guys and how to get open.” Crabtree will be […]

#TrendingNow - Post-Draft Veteran Risers and Fallers

Far too often in the NFL, we see a player’s stock rise or fall within seconds. A lot of veterans sit around watching the NFL Draft not only because they want to see how their team improves, but they are watching for which young rookie will be next in line to take a shot at […]

Rookie ADP Arbitrage - Tight End

The lack of depth at tight end is more apparent than ever, especially with Hunter Henry's unfortunate non-contact ACL injury in OTAs. Never fear, as help is on the way in the form of a brand new crop of young talent. After looking at wide receivers, running backs, and quarterbacks previously in our post-draft arbitrage […]

We recently gathered some writers and fantasy football experts from RotoBaller, PlayerProfiler, Football Diehards, FFD260, and more, to conduct a mock rookie draft for […]

Dynasty Team Analysis - San Francisco 49ers

After an embarrassing 2016 regular season resulted in a 2-14 record, the 49ers performed a complete overhaul. New General Manager John Lynch and first-time head coach Kyle Shanahan were chosen to resurrect the fortunes of a franchise that had descended into a chasm, and proceeded to build a roster that recovered from an 0-9 start […]

Rookie ADP Arbitrage - QB

With the 2018 NFL Draft firmly in the rearview mirror, now is the time of year where dynasty fantasy football owners lick their lips and get ready for their rookie drafts. However, for first year dynasty players or players who are entering a new dynasty league, a dynasty startup draft is how players get allocated […]

Maxx Williams, Breshad Perriman On The Roster Bubble

Baltimore Ravens tight end Maxx Williams and wide receiver Breshad Perriman figure to be on the roster bubble in training camp this year. Williams has just 47 catches for 354 yards and two touchdowns in his three years in the NFL and could be cut after the team just drafted two tight ends. Perriman has […]

WR Rookie Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

This year’s wide receiver class was not supposed to be anything special. A couple of elite guys and maybe a few good players who could become starters, but they were overshadowed by the running backs. After the draft though, I am excited to see how this class performs in 2018 and beyond. A lot of […]

Dynasty Rookie Rankings Update (Post-NFL Draft Edition)

Boy, the draft can seriously turn things on its head. Pretty much the only thing that stayed steady from the pre-draft process was that Saquon Barkley is the 1.01. And while there were some near-perfect landing spots, many intriguing rookies landed in non-ideal locations and the late second round has lost some of its shine. […]

Ravens Not Worried About Lamar Jackson's Accuracy

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh isn't at all concerned about questions surrounding quarterback Lamar Jackson's accuracy issues in college. "The thing I was really impressed with is I thought he was accurate," Harbaugh said. "You read the reports ... but he's a naturally talented thrower. He has natural arm talent. That's something that I […]

Rookie TEs in the Best Fantasy Positions

Rookie tight ends are notoriously hard to project because so much goes into the position. Players have to be able to show NFL-level blocking and receiving abilities if they want to see the field early. While some succeed early, others take far longer. Last year was one of the most highly-rated tight end classes in […]

NFL Draft - Team Winners and Losers

The 2018 NFL Draft has come and gone and most of the teams in the leagues have to be excited about what they ended up with, even if that excitement is misplaced in some instances (*cough* Raiders). How we evaluate these picks will change between now and fantasy draft season, once we see training camp […]

Ravens Decline To Exercise Breshad Perriman's Option

The Baltimore Ravens did not exercise wide receiver Breshad Perriman's fifth-year option for the 2019 season. Perriman hasn't earned it after recording only 43 catches for 576 yards and three touchdowns after being selected 26th overall in the first round in 2015. After all the wideout additions Baltimore made in free agency (Michael Crabtree, John […]
