Panthers Defense Won't Have Bruce Irvin In Week 1

Carolina Panthers linebacker Bruce Irvin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Rams. For a Panthers team that struggled to get to the opponent's quarterback in 2018, this isn't a good sign against a Rams team with a high-flying passing attack. Carolina's D/special teams could be good as a bye-week filler later […]

Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Stack 'Em - Players With Favorable Fantasy Schedules

Rooting for a team is great. It is what fuels fandom, and sports in general. And it is why some times we opt to draft one of our favorite team's players instead of another guy. Look at your team at the end of your draft and it wouldn't be weird to find some homer-picks in […]

Cam Newton's Mobility Is Fine

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) mobility has been good in practice and he feels like the signal-caller will be able to do the things he normally does in Week 1 on Sunday against the Rams. Newton suffered a mid-foot sprain in the third preseason game but is past […]

Running Back Efficiency Leaders - Phillip Lindsay, Kerryon Johnson & More

The NFL Next Gen Efficiency stat (EFF) is a measure of how efficient a rusher is with the total amount of running he does on each play. It takes the total distance traveled by a player throughout a run and divides it by the amount of rushing yards gained. The lower the number, the more […]

Cam Newton Not On Week 1 Injury Report

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report against the Rams. Head coach Ron Rivera said there's no reason to hold Newton back in the season opener. With injury concerns surrounding his foot and right shoulder, Newton's fantasy value dropped in drafts, but he still has the […]

At this point in time, there is no excuse for you to not get the statistics being used in every sport you follow and their importance. Back in the day, it was all about wins and losses, passing yards, and touchdowns scored. It is not that those stats are worthless, but they don't offer much […]

Fantasy Meets Reality: Big League Impact Drafting

In late August at Citi Field, for the fifth time I witnessed a scene that demonstrated the unique power of fantasy sports to affect so many lives in positive ways. Through Big League Impact, the charitable organization founded by Adam Wainright in 2013, a room full of New York Mets fan drafted in fantasy football […]

FFPC Classic League Draft Strategy and Results

If you haven't checked out the FFPC already, I highly recommend doing so before the season starts. Whether you are looking for best ball, victory points, superflex or anything else, they have you covered with game types ranging between $35 to $1000+. What is even better is that new sign-ups to the website earn $25 […]

Updated Tight End Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Ah, the tight end position. Other than the kicker and defenses, the least useful position in fantasy football. But alas, it is a necessary position so we need to look at it. Of course, here we will be talking about typical single-TE leagues with no scoring premium. So, you really have to decide whether or […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2019

James Conner, Phillip Lindsay, Damien Williams, Gus Edwards, Austin Ekeler. In the final month of the 2018 fantasy season, these five running backs were regularly ranking amongst the top-20 at the position, often as high as top-10 or top-five. One thing they all had in common: None of them even sniffed the top 100 preseason rankings […]

Late-Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform Their ADP

No matter what the masses say about the running game, it will always be an attractive part of football. The explosive, raw bursts that tailbacks showcase each time they're handed the ball by their quarterback has no equal in football. Some times the runs can end at the line of scrimmage, but if the rusher […]

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Running back is the most volatile position in fantasy football. It's possible to put together a winning team while going "zero RB" (not picking a running back in the early rounds), proving how much change there can be in many running backs' value over the course of a year. I don't recommend doing this, for […]

Best Ball Tight End Rankings and Tiers

There is less than a week remaining to join a best-ball draft before the NFL season kicks off. If you're doing a last-minute draft, you obviously want to check our updated rankings and tiers first before taking the plunge. The tight end position is more intriguing than ever. Aside from the obvious top three players, […]

Observations From My First FFPC Draft

I've always considered myself to be really good at the waiver wire, which is part of the reason why I've avoided doing any Best Ball leagues until this year unless you count the three-person one I did for fun last year with my wife and one of our friends. But if you want to evolve […]

2019 Fantasy Football Projections: Wide Receivers (Part Two)

I've already projected this year's quarterbacks, running backs, and first four tiers of WRs. Now, it's time to continue by looking at the rest of the most fantasy-relevant wide receivers on draft day. Listed below are my rankings and projections for the 2019 season, which will hopefully help you find some clarification if you are having […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall Current ADP: ~80 Dede Westbrook has not engendered the level of attention that other trendy targets such as D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Chris Godwin have captured in recent months. However, the third-year receiver's desirable blend of speed, acceleration, and dependable hands should be utilized more effectively than at any other […]

Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Curtis Samuel has been the subject of a surging stream of expectations during recent weeks. The topics have included his improved route-running, his favorable foot speed, and his unchallenged explosiveness. The enthusiasm escalated after his training camp performances, as he demonstrated his ability to blaze beyond defenders […]

Greg Olsen Healthy to Start 2019

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is coming off two extremely disappointing seasons which were derailed due to foot injuries and he's determined to bounce back strong in 2019. Olsen has made it through the preseason without aggravating his foot and barring injury, he should be in line for a decent 2019 campaign. The Panthers […]

D.J. Moore Has a Tough Week 1 Matchup

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is primed to breakout in 2019 but he may have some tough sledding Week 1 against the Rams. Moore should line up against Rams cornerback Marcus Peters most of the game which will be tough for the second year receiver. Although Peters is a very good player, he does […]

Several RotoBaller writers have gone before me on this journey of bringing you their "Bold Predictions" for the 2019 season, and as the last representative, I intend on bringing us home in style.

Best Ball Quarterback Rankings and Tiers

Best-ball drafts are winding down as the NFL season approaches. On the cusp of the biggest draft weekend of the year, we continue with our recently updated rankings and tiers by position. Quarterback is a different beast altogether in best-ball compared to typical redraft leagues. In many 10 or 12-team redraft leagues, you can get […]

Christian McCaffrey Set For Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is set to embark on another potential record-breaking season beginning Week 1 against the Rams. Though Los Angeles flourished offensively in 2018, the Rams left little to be desired on the defensive end, with that trend expected to continue in 2019. Los Angeles allowed 1,635 yards to opposing backs […]

Carolina Panthers Defense Week 1 Outlook

The Carolina Panthers Defense will enter the 2019 season after finishing as the DEF21 in fantasy in 2018. The Panthers added edge rusher Brian Burns in the NFL draft and are hoping he can improve a squad that allowed 23.9 points per game last year. They face a tough test against Jared Goff and the […]
