Fantasy Football Burning Questions - AFC East

Our advance preseason series with Burning Fantasy Football Questions for 2019 continues with a look at the AFC East.

Travis Kelce Unlikely To Work In Minicamp

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) has been sitting out of organized team activities and is unlikely to take part in mandatory minicamp next week, according to head coach Andy Reid. “I don’t think (he’ll participate) next week,” Reid said. “I think you’ll probably see him in training camp.” Kelce had a cleanup […]

The Grass Isn't Always Greener - Free Agents Fantasy Fallers

Every season we see several fantasy relevant players switch teams. With free agency occurring in March, the instant reaction is there, but it doesn't always hold. It is important to reanalyze those moves later in the offseason, particularly after the NFL Draft. Now that it is June, we have a much better idea of how […]

Tyreek Hill Expected To Join Team For Training Camp

Barring further developments, there's reason to believe that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill will be back with the team for training camp this summer. Police are no longer pursuing criminal charges against Hill, who was under investigation for alleged child abuse against his three-year-old son. Hill has been banned from the team's offseason […]

The Grass IS Greener - Free Agent Fantasy Risers

The NFL Free Agency period is one of the most exciting times of the year for NFL fans. Outside of the NFL Draft, there really isn't a lot to be excited about as an NFL fan. If you're a dynasty football fan, this is an extremely fun time of year. 2019 was no exception when […]

Dynasty Price Check - Mike Gesicki

Last year, the Miami Dolphins spent a second-round pick on Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki. Tight end had long been a rough position for the Dolphins, as the team hasn't had a player at the position hit the 500-yard mark since Charles Clay in 2014, but the move to pick Gesicki seemed like a […]

Rookie Spotlight - Devin Singletary

In a rookie class filled with many questionable landing spots, one that has turned out to be fairly exciting is Devin Singletary landing with the Buffalo Bills. In the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Bills selected the electric running back out of FAU. During the off-season, the Bills have put together what […]

Damien Williams Is a Must-Draft... and Must-Sell

“You know what? Damien Williams is our starter,” said Chiefs RB coach Eric Bieniemy shortly before fantasy football Twitter burned down. My initial reaction to this: "No kidding, what are your other options?" Regardless, Damien Williams, it's now your turn. I don't just mean it's his chance to earn a starting gig on an NFL […]

2019 Dynasty Price Check - Tre'Quan Smith

When it comes to dynasty football leagues you know there is no offseason. Without the in-season worries of lineup setting and setting up waiver wire claims, dynasty league enthusiasts can focus their efforts on making trades to improve their teams and preparing for rookie drafts. Today's column will take a look at New Orleans wide receiver […]

Burning Fantasy Football Questions - NFC South

Our advance Divisional series on Burning Questions for the 2019 Fantasy Football season continues with issues that must be considered in the NFC South. The RB scenarios in Atlanta and Tampa Bay could be shifting, and the QBs in Carolina and New Orleans are not quite as highly regarded as they were in the past. […]

Late-Round Dynasty Stashes and Deep Sleepers

One of the most fun parts of being involved in dynasty formats is watching your team evolve year after year. A part of that process is being aware of the landing spots of talented undrafted free agents. Not all the prospects are highly sought after by NFL teams, yet there is still value that tends […]

Damien Williams Is The Starter

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said that running back "Damien Williams is our starter, and we expect him to excel in that role." Williams has never been a go-to back in his five seasons in the NFL and had a career-high 50 carries for 256 yards (5.1 average) and four touchdowns in his […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)

It used to be that we ignored the tight end position until the middle rounds of a draft. Now, it's not uncommon to see a name like Kelce in the first round and not bat an eyelash, while Ertz and Kittle are guaranteed to be taken within the top 30 picks. In best-ball leagues, you […]

Rookie Spotlight - Mecole Hardman

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman is, perhaps, the most difficult rookie receiver to value right now, because his immediate fantasy potential is almost entirely dependent on whether or not the NFL suspends Tyreek Hill and, if they do, on how long that suspension is. Hardman is an interesting prospect, a speedster who […]

When to Target QBs in Superflex Dynasty Leagues

Fantasy football has as many different variations and scoring formats as there are players in the NFL. The way to become a better player is to understand those formats and the required strategies to succeed. Recently, the Rotoballer NFL staff got together to conduct a mock draft for a dynasty startup with Superflex rules. You […]

Late-Round Rookie RBs to Target in Dynasty Drafts

The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and the preparation for your fantasy football league’s upcoming season should be starting now, not in late August. In standard year-to-year fantasy leagues or keeper leagues where you can only hold onto a minimal amount of players, you are not going to find many late-round rookie running backs on […]

Kyler Murray Is a QB1 in 2019 Redraft Leagues

For reasons that are completely understandable, the primary focus on rookies after they are drafted is on their long-term outlook, particularly as it pertains to keeper/dynasty formats. Much of the discussion centers around where a rookie should go in a rookie draft and how valuable he will be over the next few years. What about […]

Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review

I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player. In Dynasty leagues, you have to have a different mindset (except for Frank Gore who’ll play for another 10 years with at least 200 touches each time). Just after […]

Rookie Spotlight - David Montgomery

Heading into the 2019 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears were limited on the number of draft picks that they had. The team held three picks and while it didn't seem too likely that they would draft a running back, it has been apparent that is a position of need. While Tarik Cohen is an explosive […]

Baker Mayfield Madness - Top-Five Fantasy QB Already???

There has been so much buzz about the Cleveland Browns being the breakthrough team of 2019 this offseason. That is understandable, as the team won five of its final seven games and showed a lot of promise after a poor first half of the 2018 season. Adding Odell Beckham Jr. has only fueled more strong […]

Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)

Quarterback has to be approached differently in best-ball as opposed to re-draft leagues. Whereas in most competitive leagues, you can get away with drafting one quarterback and streaming throughout the year if necessary, you don't have that luxury in a draft-only format. Bye weeks, injuries, and flat-out bad play must be accounted for during the […]

Chris Jones Doesn't Report For OTAs

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones didn't report for the start of organized team activities this week, according to a source. Jones is in the final year of his deal and is looking for a big long-term extension after posting an incredible 15.5 sacks in his third season in the NFL. The 24-year-old also […]

Rookie Spotlight - Drew Lock

As we often have said on the RotoBaller afternoon show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, mock drafts prior to the NFL Draft are just exercises full of swings and misses. They are fun, but so many end up being wildly incorrect. Experts and analysts often tab who they think teams should logically pick, and as […]
