In KC he'll have to compete with Charcandrick West, […]
Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers: QB
Think of the Dallas Cowboys from the 1990s. Does Troy Aikman immediately come to mind? How about the 49ers of the 1980s - let me guess, you thought of Joe Montana fairly early into the recollection? Pittsburgh dominated the 1970s, and while the "Steel Curtain" moniker refers to their stifling defense, they also happened to […]
Tim Wright Signs With Chiefs
Free-agent tight end Tim Wright, who hasn't played a game in the NFL since 2015, announced on Instagram that he signed a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday. The 26-year-old missed all of 2016 after tearing the ACL in his knee and was cut by the Detroit Lions after the preseason in 2017. […]
Brandin Cooks Heads to the L.A. Rams - Fantasy Spin
The Patriots shocked many earlier this week by shipping Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams. The Patriots acquired Cooks from New Orleans for a first round pick in 2017, and shipped him out for a similar price just one season later, essentially making him a rental. The resulting domino effect will have a great […]
Dave Toub Promoted To Assistant Head Coach
Kansas City Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub has been promoted to assistant head coach. He has served as the team's special teams coordinator for the last five years and will continue his duties in that role. Toub has been a head coaching candidate the last several years and was connected to the Colts job […]
Chiefs Hosting Kerwynn Williams
The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting free-agent running back Kerwynn Williams on Friday. Williams started six games for the Cardinals in 2017 and posted career highs in attempts (120) and yards (426) while scoring one touchdown on the ground. Williams would provide depth for the Chiefs behind Kareem Hunt and Charcandrick West. However, Spencer Ware […]
MFL10 Late-Round ADP Values and Sleepers

If you aren't familiar with a best-ball league, check out our general strategy article for a thorough overview. Once you've looked that over, come back and check out my […]
Chiefs Sign Matt McGloin, Nelson Spruce
The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent quarterback Matt McGloin and wide receiver Nelson Spruce on Friday. McGloin was cut by the Texans early last year and never latched on with a team. He's played in just 13 games (all with the Raiders) since 2013, and he'll be the third quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes and Chad […]
Was Drafting Kareem Hunt Good Process or Just Lucky?
The 2017 regular season featured several rookie running backs making immediate and fantasy relevant impacts on the teams that drafted them. Four rookie running backs recorded top 15 finishes in standard scoring and top 10 finishes in PPR formats, making it clear that this season was one for rushers to challenge the previous fantasy narrative […]
Early 2018 MFL10 Strategies
We have progressed beyond the initial phase of free agency, which has modified the outlooks for many prominent players. Soon, the highly-anticipated NFL Draft will transform the fantasy landscape even further. But even though a number of factors could alter the current projections that we have built for various players, that has not discouraged many […]
Sammy Watkins to the Chiefs – Fantasy Spin
Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce have a new running mate in their receiving ring, and this guy has the talent to be the best of the bunch…or an Achilles heel that could make him the biggest fantasy flop of the threesome. The Kansas City Chiefs upgraded their pass-catching corps by signing speedster Sammy Watkins to […]
Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel to Bears - Fantasy Spin
With the frenzy surrounding the NFL's free agency period, the Bears made some big signings to boost the skill position group most suited to helping second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Their two biggest signings thus far have been wide receivers Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel. Robinson comes in with a three-year $42 million contract while Gabriel […]

Damien Williams To Visit With Chiefs
Free-agent running back Damien Williams will visit with the Kansas City Chiefs this week. With impressive youngster Kareem Hunt entrenched as the lead back in KC, Williams would strictly be vying for scraps with Spencer Ware if he lands with the Chiefs. In his four years with Miami, Williams had 133 carries for 477 yards […]

Chiefs Signing Chad Henne
The Kansas City Chiefs are signing free-agent quarterback Chad Henne to a two-year deal, according to a source. He will serve as the backup to young quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The veteran Henne will serve as a mentor for the promising Mahomes. Henne has attempted just two passes in the regular season since 2015 and won't […]
Thomas Rawls Visiting With Chiefs
Free-agent running back Thomas Rawls is visiting with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, according to a source. Rawls had a promising rookie year in 2015 with 147 carries for 830 yards (5.6 yards per carry) and four touchdowns for Seattle, but an ankle injury later that year has doomed him since. He has been […]
Chiefs An Option For Matt Moore
The Kansas City Chiefs are an option to sign free-agent quarterback Matt Moore. Moore is one of the more attractive backup quarterbacks remaining on the market. He has spent the last seven years with Miami, playing in eight games the last two seasons while tossing 12 touchdowns to eight interceptions. In Kansas City, he'd just […]
De'Anthony Thomas Returning To Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver De'Anthony Thomas on Wednesday. He turned down $1.5 million from another team to remain in KC. Thomas had just 14 catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games last year for the Chiefs, and he's mostly a special teams asset, so fantasy owners need not take […]
RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Rounds 4-6
Welcome to the RotoBaller Mock Redraft, which we are doing way, way too early because we care way, way too much about fantasy football. But hey--you care too much too, because you're here with us on this adventure! We're one big, football family! This slow draft has been going on for a little while, which […]
Chiefs Adding Anthony Hitchens
The Kansas City Chiefs plan to sign free-agent linebacker Anthony Hitchens to a deal worth $9 million per season, according to sources. Hitchens fills a specific need inside for the Chiefs defense. He was able to rack up a career-high 84 combined tackles in 2017 and should be useful in IDP leagues next season in […]
Dolphins To Sign Albert Wilson
The Miami Dolphins are planning on signing free-agent wide receiver Albert Wilson to a three-year, $24 million deal when the new league year begins on Wednesday, according to sources. Wilson had the best season of his career in 2017 with 42 receptions for 554 yards and three touchdowns, and he'll be replacing Jarvis Landry in […]
RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Rounds 2-3
It's been a minute (figuratively speaking) since we started this mock draft, and many moves have been made on the free agent market over the last couple of weeks. Then there's the Cleveland Browns, who threw everything into chaos on one March day. With the NFL Draft still weeks away and many cuts, signings, and […]
Dolphins The Favorites For Albert Wilson
The Miami Dolphins have emerged as the favorites to sign free-agent wide receiver Albert Wilson, according to sources. Wilson's market has been hotter than expected, as he's coming off career highs in catches (42) and yards (554). Miami is looking to upgrade at the receiver position behind DeVante Adams and Kenny Stills after they traded […]
Early 2018 Breakouts - Tight End
2018 could very well be “The Year of the Tight End.” The position in fantasy football is going to be as loaded with breakout candidates in 2018 as Starbucks is with espressos and acoustic music. While the position is top-heavy with Pro Bowl veterans like New England’s Rob Gronkowski, Carolina’s Greg Olsen and Kansas City’s […]
Trusting Rookie Wide Receivers in Redraft Leagues
If I had to list one mistake most commonly made by fantasy owners on draft day, it would be recency bias. We've seen it time and time again - owners overreacting to what happened the previous year even when it was so clearly an outlier. The QB boom of 2011. The rookie WR boom of 2014. […]
Muhammad Wilkerson Visiting With Chiefs
Free-agent defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson said he is visiting with the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. After signing a big extension with the Jets, Wilkerson bombed out and wore out his welcome in the Big Apple. However, he's a high-end talent on the defensive line and may benefit from a change of scenery. He's just […]
