A.J. Dillon (RB, GB) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~154 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~172 ANALYSIS: The rookie out of Boston College is a beast at 6' and 247 lbs, and a snapshot of his "massive legs" (coach Matt LaFleur's words) went viral early in training camp. He rushed for 5.2 yards per carry and totaled 40 touchdowns in college, leading the […]

Packers Waive Dexter Williams

The Green Bay Packers have waived running back Dexter Williams, a 2019 sixth-round pick for the team. After drafting A.J. Dillon this year, the Packers backfield was too crowded for both Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams to have roles this year, so this move seems to indicate that Jamaal Williams will be the No. 3 […]

Aaron Jones Primed For Another Strong Season

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will play a huge role in 2020 as the focal point of the Packers offense. Jones enjoyed a career season in 2019, posting 1,558 all-purpose yards with 49 receptions and 19 total touchdowns. While his touchdown totals may regress a smidge this season, Jones still has averaged 5.0 […]

Rookie Roulette: Which First-Year RB Is the Best Value?  

When it comes to drafting rookies, many fantasy owners know the potential risks that come with drafting an unproven player in terms of NFL experience. No matter how prolific a player may have been in college, the NFL is a whole different animal and adjustment periods vary depending by player. For 2020, an impressive slate […]

The Incendiary Sophomore Ready To Explode: Mecole Hardman

Finding the next breakout player in fantasy football is not always an easy task. If it were, we would all be winning more championships. However, sometimes a player jumps off the screen and the analytics jump off the page, making it a little easier. Kansas City Chiefs sophomore wide receiver Mecole Hardman is such a player. […]

Jace Sternberger Having Quiet Camp

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger entered training camp with hopes of becoming a breakout player in the offense this season but has had a "quiet" camp, according to Packers reporter Andy Herman. The second-year player missed the first half of last season due to injuries and largely was non-existent when returned to the […]

Aaron Rodgers Most Impressed With Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he's been most impressed with wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling in training camp. "Now he's making the catches he's expected to make, and he's adding some extra plays in there where he's doing some smart things and showing the growth, so I'm really proud of MVS," Rodgers said. A […]

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 […]

Billy Turner Sustains Knee Injury

Green Bay Packers right guard Billy Turner sustained a knee injury during the team’s scrimmage Sunday, which puts his availability for Week 1 against Minnesota in doubt. The ailment is reportedly “nothing serious,” but Turner will miss time and Lane Taylor is likely to step in. Green Bay has a few of the most tantalizing […]

Kamal Martin Undergoing Knee Surgery

Green Bay Packers rookie inside linebacker Kamal Martin (knee), who was in the mix to start in Week 1, is undergoing knee surgery and is expected to miss several weeks, according to sources. Martin will likely be out six to eight weeks, making him a candidate to return from Injured Reserve. Oren Burks is also […]

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 […]

The King's Updated Fantasy Football One-Man Mock Draft

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. The four rounds of this early one-man mock are based on a 12-team, full PPR format. I have considered roster structure for each […]

Updated Tight End PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

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, […]

Jace Sternberger (TE, GB) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger had a disappointing rookie campaign, finishing the regular season without a catch while appearing in only six games due to injury.  However, he did begin to show flashes of efficiency during the postseason by hauling in all three of […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year I predicted that Lamar Jackson would break the QB rushing record, Chris Godwin would have a big season, and David Johnson would struggle. […]

Jamal Williams (RB, GB) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers' running back Jamaal Williams is entering his fourth year as a pro, all of them playing for the Pack. While his rushing attempts have dropped every year he has been in the NFL, his production has increased and he has become more efficient […]

Coaching Matters: NFC North 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 means 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 […]

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 […]

Late-Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform ADP

We are receiving encouraging signs that a safe and timely return of regular-season matchups will take place as scheduled beginning September 10. Training camps are in progress, and many of you are participating in drafts as Week 1 kickoffs approach. You will develop a strategy before you begin building each roster. But it is recommended […]

Updated Wide Receiver Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

RotoBaller’s 2020 wide receiver rankings for standard fantasy football leagues are looking a little different than they did a few months ago. The NFL draft, trades, free-agent signings, salary-cap cuts and opt-outs due to the COVID crisis have all affected the wide receiver rankings since the last time our website’s rankings were released. So now […]

Pierre Camus' Bold Predictions - 2020 Fantasy Football

This marks the fifth installment of my bold predictions for RotoBaller. Boy, how things have changed since my first bold predictions column. We were happily oblivious to Coronavirus. My preseason prediction about Colin Kaepernick was purely football related, just weeks before he became known for something other than his passer rating. RGIII was getting set to […]

Allen Lazard Enters Third Season As Season-Long Option

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard took a significant step forward in 2019, putting him on many owners' radars ahead of drafts this year. Despite having been an undrafted free agent that saw just one target in 2918, Lazard is now arguably the Packers No. 2 receiver and is being rostered in just 16 […]

Packers Want Jordan Love To Let It Rip

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is being encouraged by head coach Matt LaFleur to start playing with more confidence. “I just told him, ‘Hey, you can’t play hesitant. You can’t play tentative,'” LaFleur said. “We tell the quarterbacks, ‘Indecisive equals ineffective.’ And sometimes, I know a lot is going through his mind right now, […]

Allen Lazard - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Coming into the 2019 season, the debate in Green Bay was whether Geronimo Allison or Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be the WR2 for Aaron Rodgers. It turned out neither of them was able to take the mantle. Through injury and inconsistency, both players fell short, thus leaving an opening for second-year undrafted free agent Allen Lazard to come […]

Davante Adams Primed For A Monster Season

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is the consensus No. 2 receiver in fantasy drafts this year for good reason. In 2018, his last full season, he earned 169 targets and reeled in 111 catches for 1,386 yards for 13 touchdowns. Last year, he missed four games with a turf toe injury and was […]
