We got some updates about some […]

Battle of the Rookie Quarterbacks
The 2018 NFL draft is part of football history. The reason that the 2018 draft will always be remembered is that it marked just the third time in NFL history that at least five quarterbacks were selected in the first round in the modern era (since 1960). 1983 and 1999 are the other draft classes […]

Hello RotoBaller football family! Welcome back to Power Pivots, where we discuss some alternative player options for use in DraftKings tournaments. As we saw last week, chalk plays don't always work.

David Njoku A Low-End TE1 In Week 4
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is off to a slow start in his sophomore season. Njoku has caught just nine passes for 69 yards in his first three games while still looking for his first touchdown.

Antonio Callaway A Boom/Bust Flex Option In Week 4
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway struggled with his efficiency in Week 3, catching just four of his 10 targets for 20 yards. He nearly came close to breaking a few long plays, which would have led to a bigger game, including a pass interference that wasn't called in the end zone. Callaway has seen […]
Jarvis Landry A Solid PPR WR1 In Week 4
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry certainly enjoyed the beginning of the Baker Mayfield era in Week 3. Seven of Landry's eight catches in Week 3 came in just over two quarters of play with Mayfield under center.

Duke Johnson A Desperation Flex Play In Week 4
Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has been badly underused this season, seeing just 15 total touches through his first three games. After leading the team in receiving in 2017, the pass-catching specialist has become an afterthought in new offensive coordinator Todd Haley's offense. Johnson will be extremely hard to trust in fantasy until there […]
Carlos Hyde A Low-End RB2 In Week 4
In Week 4, Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde will look to stay hot after reaching the end zone twice in Week 3.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) was not back at practice on Wednesday.

We know nothing. When I say "we," I am referring collectively to all of us who follow the NFL and play fantasy football on a regular basis of course.

It's Baker Mayfield Time -- Get Your Bids Ready
Thursday night's Jets/Browns game started out as one of those ugh, why are we watching this kind of games, the kind that prompted me to ask on Twitter if two teams had ever tied at zero points apiece (answer: not since 1943) and spend large chunks of the first half washing dishes. Then, Baker Mayfield happened. Browns […]
