Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones will be back in town for at least one more season after the organization decided to franchise tag him.

Wide Receiver Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

The Best-Ball draft process continues to escalate, at a time in which owners are searching for any form of fantasy football that can be embraced. The enticement of being able to build a roster that will not require in-season management also adds incentive to participate in this format. The team at RotoBaller has just updated our […]

Are Rookie Receivers Trustworthy in Redraft Leagues?

When I started planning this article, it reminded me of a draft I had last year in a very deep league. It was a re-draft league and a guy drafted Emanuel Hall, a Missouri receiver with 4.39 speed, signed to the Bucs a few days prior. Sure, it was a deep league, the Bucs' offense […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

Just a year ago, we were bemoaning how boring the tight end position was in fantasy football. There was Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, George Kittle and a bunch of scrubs.

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Chiefs

The Chiefs offense was not the juggernaut last season that we saw in 2018, but the team capped off the year with a Super Bowl title. Will we get a championship hangover from the team or will we see closer to the highly productive fantasy scoring team from the year prior in 2020? Will the […]

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Tight Ends

Recently, I introduced three metrics for fantasy football: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple. Take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player overperformed or underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that in mind, […]

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Ravens

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Seahawks

Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

A lot has changed at the quarterback position since last year.

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Wide Receivers

I am introducing three metrics for fantasy football for the 2020 season: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple: take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player over/underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position.

Chiefs Haven't Made Offer To Chris Jones

The Kansas City Chiefs have had contract talks with defensive tackle Chris Jones, but there haven't been any offers up to this point.

It will lower his salary cap number and he can earn a maximum of $16 million in 2020, according to a source. The one-year deal has a base salary […]

2020 XFL Quarterback Comps From The NFL

As you know, the XFL had to suspend play after just five weeks. In order to prepare fantasy owners for XFL 2021, I have decided to find some comps for XFL players now that both leagues are over. To recap things, I'll be doing something not-so-scientific and using per-16-games averages pro-rated stats for both XFL and […]

XFL Fantasy Awards - Most Valuable Player

It feels weird to be writing about season-long awards in mid-March, but here we are.

It's been five weeks since the XFL […]
