D'Andre Swift (RB, DET) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~42 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~60 ANALYSIS: Swift has the best chance of the 2020 rookie backs to overtake Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the top spot in the best-newcomer leaderboards. He spent three years at Georgia, amassing 2,885 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns in his career as a Bulldog. His career 6.6 yards […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~133 ANALYSIS: The Chiefs wanted to add more speed on offense when they drafted Hardman in 2019. The raw speed combined with Kansas City’s scheme intrigued a lot of fantasy gamers last off-season. From a pure counting stat perspective, Hardman produced just 26 receptions for 538 yards and […]

Chiefs Release DeAndre Washington

The Kansas City Chiefs have released running back DeAndre Washington. A former college teammate of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Washington wasn't able to impress enough in camp to earn a spot in a backfield that has a lot of question marks behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Darrel Williams enters 2020 as the primary backup here and is […]

Coaching Matters: AFC West 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 includes means looking at things like game tape, the team's offensive line, or their primary play-callers historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad […]

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. […]

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 […]

The King's RotoBaller Challenge Draft Review

Fantasy Football is unique and often wonderful in how it can connect people and bring them together.

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, […]

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 […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Improving In Pass Protection Skills

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has developed a strong understanding of how to protect the quarterback as well as the importance of it, according to Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy in a report from Chiefs Wire.

O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers' tight end O.J. Howard is a freak of nature. That's absolutely out of the question. He is 6'6" and 251 lbs, and he runs a 4.51 40-yard dash (97th percentile). He was the undisputed TE1 coming out of the 2017 draft class, […]

Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2020 Fantasy Football

In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes them because they know I'm just complaining about how Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill is going to finish with zero receptions because it's 10 minutes into the first quarter and he hasn't caught a […]

Boom or Bust Tight End Predictions: Gronk, Fant, and Herndon

For the last few seasons, tight end position was essentially a barren wasteland - there were a couple of elite options in the top tier, but beyond that was slim pickings for fantasy players. This is no longer the case, as tight end is as deep as it's ever been. There are elite options at […]

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players.

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.

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.

ADP Landmines - Avoid These Players in 2020

Every year, when we reflect back on the NFL season that was, it's easy to have 20/20 vision and see the mistakes that you made in the draft. In 2019, guys like David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell went in the middle of the first round and didn't perform on par with their first-round billing. Johnson […]
