Biggest Busts of 2018 - Running Backs

Running backs are the worst position to go bust in fantasy. Most likely, they cost you an early pick and busting on such a high draft pick usually leads to a long and dreadful season for your team. Did you draft Le’Veon Bell at number one or two only to watch him sit at home […]

Biggest Busts of 2018 - Quarterback

When it comes to bust candidates there are many ways to look at it. The easiest way is to look at their projected finishing spot compared to where they actually finished. But this is unfair in the case of injuries or other unforeseen circumstances. Was Jimmy Garoppolo a draft day bust? Well yes, but he […]

Jags To Decline Austin Seferian-Jenkins' Option

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to decline the 2019 option on tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. There were high hopes for ASF in Jacksonville after he finally stayed out of trouble off the field in 2017 with the Jets, but a core injury limited him to just five games in 2018. He's still only 26 years […]

Average Draft Position Losers - 2018 Season Review

We all have had that one draft, or maybe even two, that our team cannot come back from. We thought we nailed our draft but when we look back on our picks at the end of the season, we realize we could have done better. Let’s take a look back at 2018 ADPs and see […]

Average Draft Position Winners - 2018 Season Review

They say fantasy football championships aren’t won during your draft. For the most part, that is true, and I agree with it. However, finding gems on draft day can make your fantasy season easier while allowing you more flexibility during the season and working the waiver wire. Let’s take a look back at 2018 ADP […]

RotoBaller's Staff Awards - Fantasy Football Year-in-Review

The 2018 NFL season is officially over, so it's a good time to reflect on the ups and downs of a crazy year. Fantasy football is always unpredictable but it feels as if this season had more monkey wrenches than an auto shop. Between a unanimous top-three pick not playing a single snap all season […]

Leonard Fournette In Good Place After Meeting With Team's Brass

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone is optimistic on running back Leonard Fournette's outlook after he met with the second-year back last week. Marrone called the meeting "encouraging" and said, "I think he's in a really good place." Fournette missed nine games due to injury in 2018 and was also suspended in Week 13 for […]

Jaguars Expected To Hire John DeFilippo

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to hire former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo as their next offensive coordinator on Wednesday, according to sources. DeFilippo was fired midseason after running a very bland scheme with plenty of playmakers in Minnesota. He drew rave reviews for working with both Carson Wentz and Nick Foles on the […]

Full-Length Playoff Leagues - Fantasy Football Strategy & Picks

The regular season is over, but that doesn't mean the fantasy fun stops there. While certainly inferior to full season leagues, playoff fantasy football is still a great way to carry on playing this game that we love and providing us all with a vested interest in each of these playoff games, no matter how […]

Dede Westbrook Ends Season On Low Note

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook established himself as the Jaguars top receiver over the course of the season after Marqise Lee's preseason injury, but he struggled in Jacksonville's Week 17 loss to the Texans, finishing with three catches for 10 yards. Still, if the Jaguars enter 2019 with a better quarterback, Westbrook projects to […]

Blake Bortles Struggles In Season Finale

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles played what is likely his final game as a Jacksonville Jaguar in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, finishing with 107 yards on 15-for-28 passing while adding 15 rushing yards on four carries. Where Bortles plays next season is a huge question mark, but it would be a surprise to […]

Week 17 is here and it comes with mixed feelings. On one hand this is one of the most thrilling weeks on calendar. All 32 teams are playing in the space of 12 hours and the playoff scenarios could change hundreds or thousands of times on Sunday. However, this is also the end of regular […]

Leonard Fournette Out, Carlos Hyde Active

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Texans, while Carlos Hyde (knee) is active. Fournette was doubtful coming in and was a huge fantasy bust in 2018. He's now become a very shaky and injury-prone RB1 heading into next season. Some combination of T.J. Yeldon, Hyde […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 17 Fantasy Football Picks

So you're playing for all the marbles in Week 17? Good for you. I'm serious! Many scoff at leagues which keep playing until the final week of the season but I applaud you for seeing it through to the bitter end and adding an extra element of strategy by relying on the waiver wire in […]

Carlos Hyde Expected To Play Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde (knee), who is questionable for the Week 17 finale against the Texans, is expected to play, according to a source. With Leonard Fournette likely out, the Jags will use some combination of T.J. Yeldon, Hyde and David Williams. It's anyone's guess as to who gets most of the work, […]

Hello, you faithful Week 17 readers, and welcome to the final (unofficial) edition of my weekly rankings article where I stump for myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings.

Derrick Henry - Fantasy Football Legend

Fantasy football legends come in all different shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Sometimes it's the stars that shine even brighter when all eyes are on them. We saw this with Todd Gurley last season. Other times, it's the guys who fall into a bigger role due to unforeseen circumstances. It's how we saw Damien Williams, […]

Leonard Fournette Doubtful, Carlos Hyde Questionable

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) has been listed as doubtful for Week 17 against the Texans, while running back Carlos Hyde (knee) is questionable. Fournette is about to end a hugely disappointing season in 2018, playing in just eight games and rushing for 439 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and five touchdowns. […]

Leonard Fournette Not At Practice Friday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) was not seen at practice on Friday for the second straight day, which is not a good sign for his availability in the Week 17 season finale against the Texans. Fournette could be doubtful to play at this point. You should go with other options if you […]

Leonard Fournette Expected To Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is not expected to take part in practice on Thursday. Fournette was limited on Wednesday, so it's unclear if this is a setback or if the team is just resting him. Either way, he'll be a shaky volume-based RB2 in the season finale against a strong Texans […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday, while rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) practiced in full. Fournette saw a full complement of touches in the Week 16 win over the Dolphins and should suit up in the regular season finale against the Texans. It's a tough matchup, […]
