Engel's Offseason Angles: Melvin Gordon, Tom Brady and More

Thankfully, the flow of NFL free agency news has remained somewhat steady despite the challenging conditions we are all facing. We have seen many of the non-playoff teams from last season move quickly and aggressively, and some big names change addresses and stir a lot of offseason chatter. The waves of transactions have given fantasy […]

Packers Agree With Devin Funchess

The Green Bay Packers agreed to an undisclosed deal with wide receiver Devin Funchess on Tuesday, according to sources. Funchess made it less than a full game in his only season with the Colts in 2019 when he suffered a clavicle injury in the season opener against the Chargers. He'll bring a big frame as […]

Jimmy Graham to Bears: Fantasy Impact 

Former Packer Jimmy Graham is staying in the division to extend his prolific pass-catching career at tight end. He has signed with a fellow NFC North team in the Chicago Bears and will now catch passes from either Nick Foles or Mitchell Trubisky. The veteran tight end will look to revive his career on a […]

Tannehill Back with Titans: Fantasy Impact

The deal is done. No, not a deal to make Tom Brady the quarterback of the Titans. He prefers Florida apparently. Instead, it is the deal to keep Ryan Tannehill with the team for four more seasons at $118 million. Not only did this move make the most sense but it also freed up the […]

Packers Bring Back Marcedes Lewis

The Green Bay Packers agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.25 million deal to re-sign tight end Marcedes Lewis on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal includes more than $1 million in guarantees. Lewis spent the last two seasons with the Packers, but he had just 18 catches for 195 yards and one touchdown […]

David Johnson to Texans: Fantasy Impact

Well, NFL free agency has started, and if you thought a global pandemic was going to stop Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien from doing something that the entire football world thought was bad, you were wrong. Just about an hour into free agency, word broke that Houston was trading for running back David Johnson, which […]

Christian Kirksey Lands In Green Bay

The Green Bay Packers agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with linebacker Christian Kirksey on Monday, according to his agency. Kirksey will be reuniting with his former coach in Cleveland and current Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine. The former third-round pick has played in just nine games the last two years due to injuries, […]

Way-Too-Early 2020 Mock Draft Reaction

Mock Draft SZN is here! Oh, wait...no, it's actually far too early for anyone to be doing mock drafts. Except us, the RotoBallers, because we couldn't wait to do a mock draft and I'm here to talk about the results. Below, you'll find my commentary on this totally accurate 2020 mock draft before the NFL Draft […]

Packers To Release Jimmy Graham

The Green Bay Packers will release tight end Jimmy Graham on Thursday, according to a source. Graham, 33, was the highest-paid tight end in the NFL with an average salary of $10 million and was scheduled to cost $11.666 million against the salary cap in 2020, the second-most of any tight end in the league. […]

Exploring the Myth That the Packers Don't Use Tight Ends

Every time the Packers are linked to another tight end -- whether eyeing one in the draft or pursuing one in free agency -- the fantasy football community collectively heaves a deep sigh and moans. "Oh great," they say with the most pronounced of eye rolls. "There goes his fantasy value." Green Bay, according to […]

Digging Deeper Into the Realm of Volatility

If you have been following and reading the site lately, you know I started to explore the concept of "player volatility" in one of my last columns. That one definitely set the table for what is coming here and was already long enough for an introduction that I opted to split all of this content […]

Jimmy Graham Not Expected To Return

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham is not expected to be back with the team next season, according to sources. Graham has become a shell of his former self, so this move wouldn't come as a huge surprise. The 33-year-old rarely gets much separation these days and had only 38 catches (60 targets) for […]

Matt LaFleur Likes Allen Lazard

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur talked wide receiver Allen Lazard up at the scouting combine last week. A source that ESPN.com's Matthew Berry trusts also said that Lazard spent Thanksgiving last year with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the two have become very close. Green Bay will surely go out and add some pass-catchers […]

Aaron Jones May Have More Competition For Touches

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he needed both running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, but that ideally the team would add a third body to the backfield. Jones had a breakout season and was the bell-cow back once Williams was injured in 2019. He finished third in fantasy points behind Christian […]

Packers Plan To Make A Run At Austin Hooper

The Green Bay Packers, who are intent on adding a pass-catcher in both free agency and the draft, plan to make a run at Atlanta Falcons impending free-agent tight end Austin Hooper. Hooper won't come cheap and is likely to reset the tight end market when he reaches free agency next month. The 25-year-old missed […]

Packers To Discuss New Deal With Aaron Jones

The Green Bay Packers are scheduled to meet with running back Aaron Jones' agent, who is interested in starting talks on a new deal for his client. Jones is heading into the final year of his contract and was the third-highest scoring running back in fantasy in 2019, behind only Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry. […]

Robert Tonyan Jr. Undergoes Core Surgery

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan Jr. (core) underwent core muscle surgery in Philadelphia, according to his agent, Jack Bechta. Tonyan was bothered by the injury all year and wasn't able to run the same. In his second season in the NFL in 2019, he had just 10 receptions for 100 yards and a […]

Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Quarterback

The quarterback position in fantasy football is always one that either gets seriously overvalued, or seriously underrated. We all saw just how much of a difference maker someone like Lamar Jackson could be this year, or Patrick Mahomes last year. This year, we saw Mahomes get drafted extremely early, and while he was still good, […]

We'll explain why they fell below expectations and try to determine what it means for their value going forward.

Mason Crosby Receives Three-Year Extension

The Green Bay Packers agreed to a three-year contract extension with kicker Mason Crosby on Saturday, according to a source. Crosby has been with the Packers since he was drafted in 2007, and he missed just two field goals and one extra point in 2019. The veteran kicker will turn 36 before the start of […]

RB Opportunity Share and Impact (NFC East & North)

With the season over and real-life free agency and April's NFL draft ahead of us, it's time to look at how each team split their targets and carries (both of them combined in what is called opportunities; sometimes it's receptions instead of targets, but I wanted to look at the overall volume and total chances instead) […]
