Tannehill Back with Titans: Fantasy Impact
The deal is done. No, not a deal to make Tom Brady the quarterback of the Titans. He prefers Florida apparently. Instead, it is the deal to keep Ryan Tannehill with the team for four more seasons at $118 million. Not only did this move make the most sense but it also freed up the […]
Teddy Bridgewater to Panthers: Fantasy Impact
The busiest thing about NFL free agency so far has been the quarterback changes. Entering Tuesday, we all still thought that the Panthers were sticking by their statement that they intended to enter 2020 with Cam Newton at quarterback. If you follow him on Twitter, you know very well that isn't the case. By the end […]

One of the biggest tight end prizes on the free-agent market now has a new home.

David Johnson to Texans: Fantasy Impact
Well, NFL free agency has started, and if you thought a global pandemic was going to stop Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien from doing something that the entire football world thought was bad, you were wrong. Just about an hour into free agency, word broke that Houston was trading for running back David Johnson, which […]
Chiefs Re-Sign Chad Henne
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed quarterback Chad Henne to an undisclosed two-year deal on Monday, according to sources. The 34-year-old veteran will continue to back up stud Patrick Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs have shown interest in re-signing backup quarterback Chad Henne, according to a source.

Looking For Market Inefficiencies at Quarterback
No matter which type of person you are. No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into. No matter what, you're looking for market inefficiencies as we all are.

Way-Too-Early 2020 Mock Draft Reaction

Below, you'll find my commentary on this totally accurate 2020 mock draft before the NFL Draft […]
Patrick Mahomes Not In A Rush To Sign Extension
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes "isn't going to do a deal early just because the Chiefs want to." Waiting until the Collective Bargaining Agreement is settled makes the most sense for Mahomes. Whenever he gets paid, Mahomes will become the highest-paid signal-caller in league history. After all, he's only 24 years old and has […]
LeSean McCoy Not Expected To Return To Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy isn't thinking about retiring, but he's not expected to be back with the Chiefs in 2020.

Sammy Watkins Won't Be Back On Current Deal
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said it's unlikely that the team will retain wide receiver Sammy Watkins under his current deal. Watkins is scheduled to make $14 million in 2020. The Chiefs will meet with Watkins' representatives this week. The 26-year-old came up big in the postseason each of the last two years […]
Patrick Mahomes May Avoid Knee Surgery
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that he doesn't think quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will need surgery after dislocating his kneecap in the middle of the season. "Right now he looks good," Reid said. "He was out throwing with Dez (Bryant) the other day so he looked like he was slinging it around […]
Chris Jones A Top Priority For Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said that defensive tackle Chris Jones, who will be a free agent in March, is a priority for the team this offseason. The Chiefs want to keep Jones and defensive end Frank Clark together, so the franchise tag is an option with Jones. The 25-year-old is a run-stuffer […]
Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Quarterback
The quarterback position in fantasy football is always one that either gets seriously overvalued, or seriously underrated. We all saw just how much of a difference maker someone like Lamar Jackson could be this year, or Patrick Mahomes last year. This year, we saw Mahomes get drafted extremely early, and while he was still good, […]

Why Lamar Jackson Should Be a First-Round Pick in 2020
Sometimes I like to make noise and some headlines if I can. That is why I host shows six days a week on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio representing RotoBaller. If I can get people buzzing about a topic, calling in or responding on social media with passion and vigor, I am having fun. But whenever I […]

Super Futures: Early 2020 Fantasy Outlooks for Chiefs and 49ers
Now that the Super Bowl is over, fantasy football purists are already looking ahead to the NFL Draft and next season.

Patrick Mahomes Extension Unlikely To Be Done Until After Draft
The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes are both committed to getting a long-term extension done this offseason in order to try and build a dynasty in KC, and there's no question that Mahomes will become the highest-paid player in the NFL when that happens.

Chiefs Want To Bring Sammy Watkins Back
The Kansas City Chiefs would like to bring wide receiver Sammy Watkins back in 2020.

Chris Jones Wants To Stick Around For The Long Haul
