If at First You Don't Succeed... Second-Year NFL Breakouts

Free-agent linebacker Tamba Hali, who watched Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes practice in 2017, was very impressed with the young signal caller.

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Standard)
The pass-happy NFL was not as receiver-friendly in 2017 as it was the year before.

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Tight End (Half-PPR)
Unfortunately, tight ends as a position have been losing value in the NFL for quite a while.

Rotoballer's first mock draft of the 2018 fantasy football season is in the books. You may think that our results would closely mirror our own early PPR rankings, but that isn't always the case.

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Half-PPR)
The last few years has seen a fall from grace for the wide receiver position in fantasy football formats.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Sammy Watkins are already showing a real strong connection in offseason practices.

Kareem Hunt Will Be Fine For Training Camp
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said running back Kareem Hunt (hamstring) "will be okay" for the start of training camp. Hunt was held out for most of organized team activities and minicamp, but it looks like it was just a precaution. Hunt led the NFL in rushing last year and will be a […]
