Rookie Spotlight - Josh Jacobs

After our recent RotoBaller rookie dynasty draft, organizer and lead editor Pierre Camus asked us if we could conceivably select one position to pick from, where would it be? My answer was easy, although it sounded amateurish at first: Give me the first pick. Not because of the pomp and circumstance surrounding it. I want […]

Telvin Smith Won't Play In 2019

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith announced on Instagram that he will not play in 2019 due to personal issues. The 28-year-old had a career-high 134 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, fumble recovery and two interceptions last season. His absence this year will surely have a negative effect on the middle of Jacksonville's defense.

Jaguars Release Cody Kessler

The Jacksonville Jaguars released quarterback Cody Kessler on Thursday, according to league sources. Kessler played in five games for the Jags last year and threw for 709 yards while throwing two touchdowns and two interceptions in 131 attempts. He was hoping to serve as Nick Foles' primary backup in 2019, but now that'll be a […]

Rookie Mock Draft Recap - What the Experts Were Thinking

Just after the NFL Draft finished up, we assembled our fantasy football dynasty writers for a rookie mock draft. This was a 10-team draft that went eight rounds (because we're fiends). League settings were PPR, single-QB, dynasty, rookies only. To see the full board in all its glory hosted by our friends at Sleeper, check […]

Just a Sophomore Slump - Third-Year Players Who Will Rebound in 2019

There were more sophomore successes in the NFL in 2018 than sophomore slumps. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes threw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey ran for 1,000 yards and added 867 receiving yards, and both Pittsburgh’s James Conner and Seattle’s Chris Carson had breakout rushing seasons after doing little during their rookie […]

They Took Who??? Teams That Confused Us by Drafting the Wrong Player

Every year, the NFL Draft treats viewers to surprises. Often, those surprises are...not necessarily good ones. Teams make mistakes, or they make non-mistakes that appear to be mistakes at first glance, and those mistakes can have serious fantasy football ramifications. Last year, I wrote this column and pegged the following players as wrong choices: Josh […]

Teams That Won and Lost the 2019 NFL Draft

If the 2019 NFL Draft took place 10 years ago, with the exact same pool of players to choose from, Kyler Murray would not have been the first overall pick. He would likely not have been the first quarterback taken, and perhaps would not have been drafted in the first round. He is short in […]

Yannick Ngakoue Absent From Workouts

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has been absent from the team's offseason workouts after showing up for the first few days, according to a league source. The third-rounder in 2016 is entering 2019 with 29.5 sacks in three years and has emerged as one of the best young pass rushers in the NFL. He's […]

Rookie Wide Receivers In The Best Fantasy Situations

Referring to the NFL Draft as “highly anticipated” does not fully describe the monumental level of hype and excitement that is infused into this annual event. The fascination that surrounded this year’s draft has now evolved into an unmistakable combination of excessive optimism and unbridled distress for the fan bases of all 32 franchises, while […]

Instant Reaction - NFL Draft Round 4-7 Winners/Losers

The third day of the NFL Draft is when things can start to drag on for people who aren't super into the NFL, but it's also where there's a ton of value to be had. Teams can fill a lot of holes -- particularly at a position like running back -- late in the draft. […]

On Friday night, the 2019 NFL Draft resumed after a wild first round on Thursday night. We have already gone through the winners and losers from Round 1, and it's time to move on to the winners and losers from Day 2.

Jaguars Trade Up For Jawaan Taylor

The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up with the Raiders and selected Florida offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor with the No. 35 overall pick in the start of the second round of the 2019 NFL draft on Friday. Taylor has first-round talent, so this could be a steal for the Jaguars this early in the second round. He'll […]

Jaguars Go With Josh Allen At No. 7 Overall

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Allen was considered the best edge rusher in this draft, so the Jags could have a very nice steal on their hands with this pick. He had 17 sacks in his final season in college […]

Jags Pick Up Jalen Ramsey's Option

The Jacksonville Jaguars exercised cornerback Jalen Ramsey's fifth-year option on Thursday. The Pro Bowl cornerback is now under contract through the 2020 season. Ramsey should eventually sign a long-term extension with the club. The 24-year-old has become one of the league's best corners in just three seasons. He had 65 tackles and three interceptions and […]

Here is a short list of some of the offensive players drafted in 2017 who can reasonably be expected to go within the first three or four rounds of 2019 fantasy drafts: Christian […]

Can You Trust Rookie Wide Receivers in Re-draft?

This upcoming NFL Draft feels like it's very heavy on wide receivers and light on running backs. For dynasty owners, that leads to a pretty simple result: draft the receivers at the top of your rookie draft. But in re-draft, there's long been this idea that rookie wide receivers aren't consistently useful in fantasy, that […]
