Josh Rosen Not Against Playing For Cleveland

University of Los Angeles-California quarterback Josh Rosen said he's not against playing for the Cleveland Browns. "I’ve never said anything about not wanting to play in Cleveland. I don’t know where that came from. There's absolutely no foundation in reality in that (report)," Rosen said. A report came out that stated Rosen was considering going […]

Red Zone Target Hogs and Potential Sleepers for 2018 Fantasy Football

Although volume and yardage are incredibly important for an NFL player's fantasy production, touchdowns and red zone efficiency are often the difference between winning and losing on any given week. Every fantasy team should have a game-breaker with touchdown upside on their roster and Rotoballer is here to help you find him! In this article, […]

Early 2018 Breakouts - Wide Receivers

As we slowly get closer to the 2018 NFL Draft, we are beginning to get an idea of where players are landing. There are plenty of question marks out there still between free agency and the 2018 NFL Draft, but there are definitely some places where the starting lineups are beginning to take shape. The […]

Dynasty Tight Ends - Football Rankings Analysis

The tight end position has always been one that can be a true difference-maker for a fantasy football team. It wasn’t too long ago that Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham were first round picks in redraft leagues, and nobody thought twice about it. While the rest of your team is streaming tight ends week in […]

Dynasty Wide Receivers - Football Rankings Analysis

Wide receivers have been prioritized by dynasty owners in recent years, as the movement toward running-back-by-committee and relatively short shelf-life of running backs has made them a more volatile commodity. Receivers can be productive well into their 30s and tend to be more consistent. After 2017, we may be seeing a shift back toward the […]

Way Too Early 2018 Running Back Depth Chart Projections

It may be February, but the fantasy football minds at RotoBaller are still hard at work and bringing you research for the 2018 NFL season. Preparation is key to any fantasy owner's continued success, so taking a preemptive look at how the running back depth charts will shape up come September can be extremely helpful. With […]

Joe Thomas Still Deciding On Future

Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas is "still working" through his decision on whether he will return for a 12th season in 2018. He has set a date of March 14 (the start of free agency) as the moment when he wants to have made his decision. Thomas has been rehabbing a triceps injury that […]

Dynasty Running Backs - Football Rankings Analysis

In dynasty leagues, running backs are always the most difficult position to gauge. They can be a great short-term investment, but can be a mind boggling issue when looking at their long-term value. The running back position is the most volatile due to injury and career length. Some of the best fantasy seasons from running […]

Browns Expected To Pursue Terrelle Pryor

The Cleveland Browns are expected to pursue Washington Redskins impending free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, and The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot thinks Pryor will have interest in a reunion as well. Pryor was a free-agent bust for the Redskins, but he was also plagued by an ankle injury after having surgery in November. […]

Vontae Davis Visiting With Browns

Ex-Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis is visiting the Cleveland Browns on Friday, according to a source. He has more expected visits next week, too. Davis dealt with injuries and was a disappointment in 2017, but Davis could provide a nice veteran presence in Cleveland's secondary.

AJ McCarron An Option For Browns

Free-agent quarterback AJ McCarron, who won his grievance with the Bengals and the NFL, is expected to be a real option for the Cleveland Browns, especially after head coach Hue Jackson tried to trade for McCarron at last year's trade deadline. McCarron started four games when Jackson was the offensive coordinator for the Bengals and […]

Dynasty Quarterbacks - Football Rankings Analysis

When looking at the quarterback position for dynasty leagues, just as the other positions, fantasy owners need to think about the construction of their roster. Are they in win-now mode and can saddle up with a veteran like Tom Brady or Drew Brees, or is the team building towards becoming a contender so it can […]

NFL Draft Sleepers - Braxton Berrios

This year's crop of wide receivers hasn't generated nearly as much enthusiasm as last year. In the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, three receivers were taken in the first 10 picks, followed by another three WR in the second round. In 2018, only two WR are projected to be first-rounders with a steep […]

Biggest Breakouts of 2017 - Tight End

After spending the entirety of early January rating the hot or not's for fantasy football, I settled in to enjoy playoff football. Between basically living between postseason college and pro football, as well as some real-life stuff that got in the way of my regular writing schedule, I enjoyed the most uneven playoff schedule in […]

Early 2018 Sleepers - Running Backs

It is never too early to figure out which running backs are going to be the best sleepers in fantasy football next season – even when this season’s Super Bowl was played less than a week ago. Even though the NFL is still a passing league dominated by its quarterbacks and wide receivers, running backs […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Running Backs

We've already looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback position. This time we examine the most volatile of positions, running back. As is usually the case, the running back position produced plenty of surprises both good and bad. Rookies played a huge role in 2017, as expected, but a few NFL veterans surprised us as […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Tight Ends

The tight end position is one in fantasy football that can really go one of two ways. You either pay up to get Rob Gronkowski, or you wait it out and roll a guy like Cameron Brate or Jack Doyle out there every week. In recent years, there have been two young stud TEs emerge, […]

Early 2018 Sleepers: TE

The early outlook for 2018 for fantasy football’s top tight ends is as bright as a summer’s day at the Jersey Shore. 2017 was a decent season for the tight end position in fantasy football. New England’s Rob Gronkowski only missed two games due to injury, Kansas City’s Travis Kelce had his second straight 1,000-yard […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Wide Receivers

The top players at the wide receiver position this year included some names that no one ever would have even came close to guessing. Antonio Brown as the number one WR in PPR leagues isn’t something that is too surprising for anyone, but some of the other names on this list were far from locks […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Running Backs

Every fantasy season is full of surprises - that's what makes fantasy football so exciting. Whether it’s breakout players, veterans who fall off, or rookies shocking the world, there’s always something that just flat-out surprises us. This year, there were some major shocks at the RB position. The New Orleans Saints moving from their typical […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Wide Receivers

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at both the quarterback and running back positions. This time we're looking at wide receivers who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Wide receiver scoring was down as a whole this season, which meant more fallers than usual. At the same time, some veteran […]

Biggest Breakouts at Quarterback - 2017 Year in Review

If you have to build a football team, start with the QB first. If you have to build a fantasy football team, you can do one of three things: Pick a surefire guy in the second or third round, confident that the player you picked will be a lock, worry about nothing else. Roll the […]

Baker Mayfield In Play For The Browns

After impressing during Senior Bowl practices this week, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield is squarely in play for the Cleveland Browns at the top overall pick in this year's draft. Mayfield's skills on the field have left many to think that the Browns will have a debate between Mayfield and USC quarterback Sam Darnold with the […]

Browns Not Turned Off By Josh Allen's Senior Bowl Practices

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey insisted that Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen's airball pass at Senior Bowl practice this week didn't faze him. NFL talent evaluators agreed that Allen was inconsistent in practice Wednesday, but he was more impressive in the red zone and during goal-line drills on Thursday. Despite Allen's inconsistencies (56.3 career completion […]

Biggest Breakouts at Running Back - 2017 Year in Review

Breakout players are how you win your league. They are the players that finish the season ranked significantly higher than where you drafted them. Since we also have the Biggest Surprises series, I will do my best to distinguish a breakout from a surprise. In doing so, I am making a blanket rule at the […]

#TrendingNow Dynasty Risers and Fallers - 2017 Season Review

I hope you have taken a week or two to relax and admire the work of your 2017 season. You only have a short window though, because as a dynasty fantasy owner, there is no offseason. It’s time to start planning what move will come next, whether it be a draft, free agency or trade. […]

Browns Officially Hire Todd Haley To Run Offense

The Cleveland Browns have officially hired Todd Haley to be their next offensive coordinator. The move had been rumored since Sunday, as the Browns were intent on adding an offensive coordinator to head coach Hue Jackson's staff. The Pittsburgh Steelers allowed Haley's contract to expire without offering him a known extension, partially due to some […]

Biggest Running Back Busts - 2017 Year in Review

I'm a firm believer that I know very little, and that taking my advice is generally the equivalent of asking someone on the street. I'm not referring to fantasy sports so much as everything else: how to cook a fish, how many quarts are in a cup, how to put together a desk, etc. When it […]

Browns Interviewing Ben McAdoo For Offensive Coordinator Position

The Cleveland Browns are interviewing former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo for their vacant offensive coordinator position on Tuesday. McAdoo's tenure with the Giants didn't end well, as he went 2-10 this past season and caught fire for benching long-time starting quarterback Eli Manning. Despite the rough season, McAdoo has had plenty of […]
