Fantasy football draft season is upon us and RotoBaller is here to help! In this series, two RotoBaller experts will discuss the merits of two players with similar value and average draft position (ADP).

ADP Sleepers or Busts? How to Treat Jacksonville's Receiving Options
In my mind, there are two ways you can look at the Jaguars wide receiver battle this preseason. First, you can take a gander at the five promising players there -- Keelan Cole, Marqise Lee, Dede Westbrook, Donte Moncrief, and D.J. Chark -- and think wow, someone is going to emerge from that mess and be […]
Eric Berry Misses Practice Tuesday
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) did not practice on Tuesday. The injury doesn't appear to be very serious for the veteran, and the Chiefs are likely to play it safe with him. The 29-year-old played in just one game in 2017 before blowing his Achilles out. He's an important veteran leader for a […]
Damien Williams Suffers Injury At Practice
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in Monday's practice. It's being speculated that the injury Williams sustained could possibly be connected to a surgery he had in the offseason, but the nature of the injury has not yet been reported. Williams showed very well in the Chiefs first preseason […]
Demarcus Robinson Pushing For Role In Chiefs Offense
Kansas City Chiefs third-year wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is making a case for the third wide receiver role in the Chiefs offense behind Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins. Robinson showed well in his first preseason game Thursday night, hauling in three of his four targets, including one for a touchdown. Despite the Chiefs offense being […]
Kareem Hunt A Candidate For 300 Touches This Season?
Kansas City Chiefs second-year running back Kareem Hunt is a candidate for 300 touches this season, according to reports. Coach Andy Reid has stated that the Chiefs will look to play both tough and fast this season in utilizing all of the weapons their dynamic offense is equipped with. Hunt produced top-five numbers as a […]
Sammy Watkins Seeing Less Targets Than Tyreek Hill
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins saw less targets than his teammate, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, in the Chiefs first preseason game against the Texans. This should most certainly be taken with a grain of salt as the first team offense was on the field for just nine snaps in Thursday's preseason opener. Watkins has […]

Stop That Hype Train! Trey Burton
Is Trey Burton going to be the top tight end option on the Chicago Bears in 2018? Yes. Is he the best TE on the roster? Maybe. These are not high thresholds to leap over at this point in time, however. Mitchell Trubisky may have a breakout season like Jared Goff last season, which would […]
Tight End Standard Rankings - Tiers and Analysis
Tight end is always a difficult position to draft. The elite players go early but you have to be willing to sacrifice other positions to lock them down. Beyond the top tier, the position becomes highly inconsistent week-to-week which makes it particularly difficult to draft them. You must balance the upside of pure red zone […]
Derrius Guice Injury Fallout
Injuries are literally the worst. On the very first full day of preseason action, we saw four fantasy-relevant injuries, the worst being Derrius Guice's sprained MCL turned torn ACL. Fantasy owners and football fans alike thought Guice had averted disaster after he was initially diagnosed with a sprained MCL, which would have cost him around […]
Offenses To Trust and Which Will Bust for 2018 Fantasy Football
It perhaps goes without saying that fantasy owners should look to draft players on high-powered offenses, as they usually offer a bevy of startable assets and have a higher chance for scoring opportunities than most teams. Although stud players can often rise above their circumstances, projecting which teams will prosper on the offensive side of […]

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year
The tight end position is always one of the most frustrating ones to fill. There's a major gap between the top talent at the position and everyone else in a way that there isn't for running backs, wide receivers, and quarterbacks, so it can be tempting to grab someone in the Rob Gronkowski/ Travis Kelce/ […]
Cody Kessler Continues Strong Training Camp
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler has now taken part in nine 11-on-11 practice sessions so far at training camp and has yet to throw an interception. Kessler, who Jacksonville acquired from Cleveland for a conditional seventh round pick back in March, will take over the backup role that Chad Henne had occupied for the last several […]
Boom or Bust that ADP
Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]
Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper
We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of the […]
Fantasy Headliners - Tough Mid-Round Choices
Every year we all read articles or watch videos and find players that both end up falling to us in a draft and we have to make a tough decision. In this episode, I will help to make some of those tough mid-round fantasy football draft choices by talking you through my advice on how […]
Andy Reid Not Worried About Patrick Mahomes
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid isn't worried about quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has thrown eight interceptions in seven training camp practices. “I told you at the beginning of camp I don’t care about all that stuff,’’ Reid said. “I want him to test the offense . . . If you don’t have the […]
Let The Kids Play - A Case For Rookie RBs Over Veterans In Redraft
The common sentiment is to take established veterans over rookies in redraft leagues since we know what we are going to get out of them. If the last few seasons have taught us anything, especially at the running back position, it is that this may not always be the right strategy. Players with the talent […]
Road To #1 Running Back - AFC West
Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters. With guaranteed touches each game, these consensus top-tier running backs are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, with breakout players appearing […]
Patrick Mahomes Frequently Throwing Interceptions
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw three interceptions in training camp practice on Wednesday and has seven picks in six practices so far. "He had a few hiccups today," offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said. "But that's a part of the process. When you're young you need those hiccups because they become valuable lessons. ... […]

Late-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters
In part one, I identified mid-round values at the RB position. Now it's time to dig even deeper. With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount. This is the exact type […]
Running Back Committees to Avoid in 2018
The three-down back is starting to disappear in the NFL, and fantasy owners who don’t have a top first-round pick are missing out on the elite options. The shift to more committees in the NFL has also altered the way fantasy football owners draft. There are some team backfields you may want to avoid for […]
Mid-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters
With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount. This is the exact type of “economy” a ZeroRB drafter thrives in. Grab elite WR1 and WR2 types in the early rounds while […]
Draft Strategy - How to Approach Two-QB Leagues
For nearly the past decade it has been en vogue to draft quarterbacks late in your typical fantasy football drafts. There are plenty of studies that have determined that there isn’t a huge weekly difference between the perceived top quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and lower-end streaming options. That advice has worked well […]
