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 […]

Late-Round Wide Receivers To Outperform ADP

Value. It is one of the essential ways to win a fantasy football championship. Maximizing late-round picks into productive players will be more important than ever in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic that is currently gripping the world. One of the best ways to capture fantasy value involves taking running backs early in your […]

Michael Florio's Updated Draft Rankings vs Industry Consensus

Every single season there is a hunger for fantasy football rankings. Every single season people draft their entire fantasy football team off of a list of names ordered by their favorite analysts or site. And every year those people make the most common mistake when it comes to rankings! The mistake so many fantasy players […]

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. My rankings prioritize upside and downgrade injury concerns. There are some players who I was previously high on, but was forced to downgrade due to injuries, such as Allen […]

Robby Anderson (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~112 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~132 ANALYSIS: Anderson showed in 2019 that he was more than a home run threat who could only run fly patterns. He improved his all-around game and proved that he could run underneath routes and make crucial catches in big spots on third down. While this did not […]

Pierre Camus's 2020 All-Sleeper Team

What's fantasy football draft season without sleepers? Don't worry, I won't waste your time with some convoluted explanation of what constitutes a sleeper. That's because these picks were created with specific guidelines I was given, so it removed some of the brainwork required and left more in the tank for me to elaborate on why […]

Antonio Gibson (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70-80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~130 ANALYSIS:  Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson, who stood out in training camp, should be the biggest beneficiary of Adrian Peterson's release. The third-round draft pick is a pass-catching threat and is an excellent fit for the offense, according to Peterson himself. Washington also […]

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 […]

Deep Draft Sleepers: Tight End

Fantasy football can be unpredictable. In a position like tight end, there are several elite options to draft before the value of the players starts to fall off. Therefore, though it is integral to draft a great TE, some managers may look to stock up at other positions. While that may be an effective strategy, […]

Tarik Cohen (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~88 ANALYSIS: Cohen's profile and his situation in Chicago is the classic pass-catching, no.2-tailback one. In fact, James White might be the prime example of this and PFF has White projected to 143 PPR points in 2020 with Cohen coming in at 173... and still getting drafted half […]

Diontae Johnson (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP:~104 ANALYSIS: Last season, his first as a pro, Diontae Johnson put on a show playing for a virtual quarterback-less Pittsburgh Steelers. That's not a joke. Johnson racked up all of 163.1 PPR points in his freshman year, which ranks 15th-best among rookie-wideouts since 2015 and beat the tallies […]

Panthers Waive Reggie Bonnafon

The Carolina Panthers have waived running back Reggie Bonnafon. Expected by many to serve as the insurance policy for starter Christian McCaffrey, it looks like that role now belongs to Mike Davis. Because of the oversized role McCaffrey plays, there's no fantasy football value in this backfield as long as he's healthy, but Davis now […]

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.

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 […]

The 2020 NFL season is almost here and fantasy football drafts have been kicking off in full force. Whether you're a fantasy football junky or a casual fantasy football fan, you're probably reading this as you're preparing for your drafts.

Coaching Matters: NFC East Play-Calling Impact On RB

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players. That includes looking at things like game tape, the team's offensive line, or their primary playcaller's historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge […]

The King's RotoBaller Challenge Draft Review

Fantasy Football is unique and often wonderful in how it can connect people and bring them together. The community aspect of the game has always made it so appealing, and it creates and sustains friendships and unique bonds. This is very evident when you consider how many people have office leagues, family leagues, and of […]

Ian Thomas Sustains Toe Injury, Return Murky

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is hampered by a toe injury that he sustained during practice Monday, one that came back negative after X-rays. Head coach Matt Rhule didn’t sound overly concerned about the ailment, but with Week 1’s matchup against Las Vegas less than two weeks away, Thomas’ DFS upside remains unclear. With […]

This is my updated and final one-man mock exercise of the preseason. I put myself in the draft chairs and minds of every participant in an advance look at the 2020 campaign.

For the first time in what feels like an eternity, there are more than five tight ends to get excited about heading into a fantasy football season! Breakout seasons from Mark Andrews, Darren Waller, and more propelled the position to new heights in 2019. Fantasy players will no longer be overcome with a sense of […]

Updated Running Back PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

Hitting on the right RB can win you a league. Christian McCaffrey was a monster in 2019, rewarding fantasy players who took him over Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliot, and in some instances even Saquon Barkley. Sorting out this year’s RB landscape could be the difference between winning it all and missing the playoffs. This year, […]

Why Zero RB Won't Work In 2020 (and Beyond!)

In the 1970s, you didn't have to go far to find a funky cool cat cutting up the dance floor in a polyester leisure suit while his pet rock named Morton rested comfortably in his pocket. By the 1980s, people had realized things like the pet rock, and leisure suits were lame. Instead, it was […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2020

In a world where Christian McCaffrey is coming off a historic year comprised of 287 carries, 142 targets, 19 touchdowns and over 2,300 yards from scrimmage, the Zero RB strategy might seem like a losing recipe. How can you justify shooting for any non-running back at the top of drafts when we’ve seen just how […]

Ian Thomas (TE, CAR) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Thomas turned in a preview of the future in Week 14 of last season when he hauled in five balls on 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. Greg Olsen only missed two games so the glimpse was short-lived, but 2020 could be huge […]
