ADP Variations: NFFC Overvalued and Undervalued
As you prepare for each draft, multiple factors are incorporated into your analysis of every selection. In addition to considering the specifics of your league’s scoring and lineup composition, your decision-making process can involve researching data, reviewing film, studying the tendencies of offensive decision-makers, and generating projections for each performer. Your draft planning will also […]
WR/TE Stat Analysis: Catch Rate and Drawn Pass Interference
When it comes to drafting stud wide receivers and tight ends, we all pursue the same stats: receptions, yards, and touchdowns. It makes sense. Those three stats are the ones that ultimately yield actual, tangible fantasy points in every fantasy league, no matter the format. The savviest fantasy GMs often focus on targets, as without […]
D.J. Chark Jr. Omitted From Player's List
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. wasn't included in NFL Network's "Top-100 Players." The list, which was compiled by current players, left off the 23-year-old despite him the 2019 season with eight touchdowns and over 1,000 yards receiving off of 73 catches. While his omission is certainly unwelcome news for fantasy managers, it shouldn't […]
2020 A Crucial Year For Leonard Fournette
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is entering the final year of his rookie deal. After his name was surrounded by trade rumors during the offseason, the team opted to retain the services of the 25-year-old heading into 2020. He finished 2019 with 1,152 rushing yards, 522 receiving yards, and 76 catches, which were all […]
The King's Fantasy Football One-Man Mock Draft
This is my latest one-man mock exercise of 2020 as the new season inches closer. I put myself in the draft chairs and minds of every owner in an advance look at the 2020 season. The four rounds of this early one-man mock are based on a 12-team, full PPR format. I have considered roster […]
Finding Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairings
Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that correlates […]
Spotting Horrific Running Back-Offensive Line Pairings
Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that correlates […]

Engel's Angles: Players To Avoid in 2020 by Round
Recently I shared my favorite fantasy football draft targets by round. You cannot plan ahead to land every ideal player you like best in any draft. Yet you can make sure there are players you can steer clear of. So now I supply my 2020 listing of fantasy football players I would rather not have […]
Jaguars Sign First-Rounder C.J. Henderson
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed first-round cornerback C.J. Henderson to a $20.5 million fully guaranteed four-year rookie deal on Thursday, according to a source. The product of the University of Florida was selected with the ninth overall pick in the first round in April. Henderson was the second cornerback taken in the draft after he stood […]
Top Five Backfields To Handcuff in Fantasy Drafts
One of the most crucial things a fantasy player can do is have the foresight to build a lineup that maximizes talent while also minimizing the risk of player injuries or holdouts. This process is even more important looking to the 2020 season with the added risk of COVID-19 sidelining players. My previous articles looked […]
Jaguars In No Rush To Trade Yannick Ngakoue
The Jacksonville Jaguars have received multiple offers for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, including one involving a Pro Bowl player that doesn't fit their system, but it hasn't been enough value for them to deal a player of Ngakoue's caliber, according to sources. Teams have been told that the pass-rusher would play on the $17.788 million […]
Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target
It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the mid-rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge upside. […]

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 9-16
We've already run through the early rounds in Part 1 to find potential league winners in 2020 fantasy football drafts. Now, we move to the latter half of the draft. The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a […]
Cincinnati Bengals 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Cincinnati Bengals limped to the finish in 2019 with a league-worst 2-14 record. For first-year head coach Zac Taylor, it was an absolute nightmare as the team fielded a putrid defense and started off 0-11. Cincinnati dealt with blowouts and painfully close losses, but if there was any silver lining, it was getting the […]
RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition
Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at […]
PPR Draft Targets - Undervalued Tight Ends
For fantasy football GMs, draft season is gearing up. Preparing for what is waiting for us in our virtual war-rooms is a key part of the process, and the first thing to know is the format of the league we're going to be part of. The difference between Standard and PPR (Point-Per-Reception) scoring systems is […]
Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP
Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]
Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers
It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]
What to Expect from Washington's Backfield in 2020
The running back position in fantasy football is historically shallow. You traditionally have your five no-brainer top running backs worthy of a first-round pick, and another 10 or so guys deserving of a top-45 pick thanks to their situation/talent/history. After that, you have a lot of gray area. That gray area is where fantasy football […]
Jaguars Sign Second-Rounder Laviska Shenault Jr.
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed second-round wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. to his rookie deal on Thursday. When fully healthy, Shenault can end up being one of the most explosive receivers in a stacked class at the position. Shenault played at Colorado and was the 42nd overall pick in the draft. He was twice an All-Pac […]

Stud Running Backs You Should Worry About in 2020
The 2020 fantasy football season is going to be unlike any other. With 2020 being such a volatile year and knowing the risks of playing fantasy in a year where any player could be shut down for weeks if they test positive for COVID, I am looking to take as few risks as possible early […]
Target Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver
I don't know how many times I've written this during the past few weeks, but here we go again: no matter how good a pass-catcher is, if he's not targeted often he will have no way to rack up fantasy points. With opportunities come chances to score points. Without them, catches are literally out of […]
Yannick Ngakoue Still Desires Trade
Nothing has changed with Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue as we approach the July 15 deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign long-term contract extensions, according to a source. Ngakoue still desires a trade and doesn't have any immediate plans to sign the franchise tag. This is a situation that could bleed into training camp. […]

Fooled Me Once... Sophomore Tight Ends Set to Bust Again
As part of our "Fooled Me Once, Not Again" series, RotoBaller is looking at second-year players who struggled as rookies and aren't likely to pull themselves out of those struggles in 2020. Tight end is the position that seems to take the longest when it comes to NFL development. Rookie tight ends rarely come out […]
D.J. Chark Jr. Part Of A Small Group
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is one of only four wideouts since 2018 to have not dropped a catchable pass, according to Pro Football Focus. This was another welcome statistic for the 23-year-old who had a breakout year in 2019 by finishing with 73 receptions for just over 1,000 receiving yards and eight […]
