Brandin Cooks (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall CURRENT ADP:~93 ANALYSIS: At first glance, you would think that a wide receiver that has been traded to his fourth team in seven seasons would be a shaky investment from a fantasy perspective. While his 2019 season was certainly a downer, Cooks has a proven track record in his ability […]

Cam Akers (RB, LAR) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~52 Overall CURRENT ADP:~69 ANALYSIS: If there is a team lacking depth at the running back position entering 2020 that must be the Los Angeles Rams. I mean, look at their depth chart. Other than Cam Akers, the names read Darrell Henderson (second-year rusher with 39 runs last season), Malcolm Brown […]

J.K. Dobbins (RB, BAL) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~78 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~94 ANALYSIS: Dobbins is being drafted at RB35 and is currently the fifth-highest drafted rookie at the position (Cam Akers is the fourth with an ADP of RB25 and 60 OVR). He also has workload concerns as he projects to start the year behind Mark Ingram II on […]

Hayden Epinette’s Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

With a strange set of circumstances surrounding this NFL season, there may be far more unexpected breakouts and stunning disappointments than ever before. This could be the golden age of bold predictions, as many surprising claims could become a reality. On the other hand, it could be unpredictable in the opposite direction, with the consensus […]

Sam Sloman Expected To Win Kicking Job

Los Angeles Rams kicker Sam Sloman is expected to win the kicking job with Greg Zuerlein no longer around, according to sources informed of the situation. Sloman was a seventh-round pick out of Miami (Ohio) -- head coach Sean McVay's alma mater. He beat out Lirim Hajrullahu and Austin MacGinnis in training camp and the […]

Rookie Roulette: Which First-Year RB Is the Best Value?  

When it comes to drafting rookies, many fantasy owners know the potential risks that come with drafting an unproven player in terms of NFL experience. No matter how prolific a player may have been in college, the NFL is a whole different animal and adjustment periods vary depending by player. For 2020, an impressive slate […]

The Incendiary Sophomore Ready To Explode: Mecole Hardman

Finding the next breakout player in fantasy football is not always an easy task. If it were, we would all be winning more championships. However, sometimes a player jumps off the screen and the analytics jump off the page, making it a little easier. Kansas City Chiefs sophomore wide receiver Mecole Hardman is such a player. […]

Cooper Kupp Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday, and head coach Sean McVay said Kupp was "full-speed" and that he never had any concerns about Kupp's availability for the season opener against the Cowboys. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried at all about selecting Kupp in their fantasy drafts this weekend. […]

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

The NFL might be a quarterback-driven, pass-first league these days, but you are not going to win a fantasy football league without a decent running back corps. Even though more NFL teams are going with a running-back-by-committee philosophy rather than relying on a running back to be a three-down workhorse, fantasy rosters have to be […]

Boom or Bust WR Predictions: Brandin Cooks, DeVante Parker, Calvin Ridley

There is a tremendous amount of depth at the wide receiver position in fantasy football this season. At the same time, the trend of NFL teams using the running back by committee approach is making it harder and harder to find a bell-cow running back these days. Consequently, most football players have justifiably abandoned the […]

The King's RotoBaller Challenge Draft Review

Fantasy Football is unique and often wonderful in how it can connect people and bring them together. The community aspect of the game has always made it so appealing, and it creates and sustains friendships and unique bonds. This is very evident when you consider how many people have office leagues, family leagues, and of […]

Updated Wide Receiver PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

Saddle up, PPR drafters! Here’s your all-inclusive reference for each tier of receivers throughout your draft. We’re looking at how safe each receiver is, their potential upside (or lack thereof) and if they have a chance to jump up a tier in the receiver hierarchy or if they belong in the one below. Snagging a […]

The King's Updated Fantasy Football One-Man Mock Draft

This is my updated and final one-man mock exercise of the preseason. I put myself in the draft chairs and minds of every participant in an advance look at the 2020 campaign. The four rounds of this early one-man mock are based on a 12-team, full PPR format. I have considered roster structure for each […]

Updated Tight End PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

For the first time in what feels like an eternity, there are more than five tight ends to get excited about heading into a fantasy football season! Breakout seasons from Mark Andrews, Darren Waller, and more propelled the position to new heights in 2019. Fantasy players will no longer be overcome with a sense of […]

Updated Running Back PPR Draft Rankings and Analysis

Hitting on the right RB can win you a league. Christian McCaffrey was a monster in 2019, rewarding fantasy players who took him over Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliot, and in some instances even Saquon Barkley. Sorting out this year’s RB landscape could be the difference between winning it all and missing the playoffs. This year, […]

Welcome back RotoBallers! Below you will find our staff's updated 2020 fantasy football dynasty rankings (top 400) including RBs, WRs, QBs, TEs and NFL Rookies.

Robert Woods (WR, LAR) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~32 Overall CURRENT ADP:~47 ANALYSIS: The big knock on Robert Woods in 2019 was his lack of touchdowns (just two), but despite that, he still finished as the WR17 in PPR leagues. Woods has never been a big scorer, with a career-high of six touchdowns in 2018, but 2019 was the second straight season […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year I predicted that Lamar Jackson would break the QB rushing record, Chris Godwin would have a big season, and David Johnson would struggle. […]

Van Jefferson To See Increased Reps In Camp

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Van Jefferson will begin to see increased reps in camp this week as WR1 Cooper Kupp is dealing with a muscle strain. Jefferson has shined throughout camp thus far, even garnering praise from QB Jared Goff for his great route-running and catching abilities. The 24-year-old was drafted in the […]

Cooper Kupp Deals With Muscle Strain In Leg Ahead Of Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is reportedly battling a strained muscle in his right leg above his foot, but the ailment isn’t expected to impact his status for Week 1 against the Cowboys. Kupp is in line to see an extended role in the team’s offense this year following Brandin Cooks’ trade to […]

Why Zero RB Won't Work In 2020 (and Beyond!)

In the 1970s, you didn't have to go far to find a funky cool cat cutting up the dance floor in a polyester leisure suit while his pet rock named Morton rested comfortably in his pocket. By the 1980s, people had realized things like the pet rock, and leisure suits were lame. Instead, it was […]

Jared Goff (QB, LAR) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~141 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff finished the 2019 season as the QB13 in fantasy leagues, throwing for 4,638 yards and 22 touchdowns to go along with 16 interceptions. It marked the first season where he didn’t finish as a top-12 quarterback in fantasy since he became a […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2020

In a world where Christian McCaffrey is coming off a historic year comprised of 287 carries, 142 targets, 19 touchdowns and over 2,300 yards from scrimmage, the Zero RB strategy might seem like a losing recipe. How can you justify shooting for any non-running back at the top of drafts when we’ve seen just how […]

Cooper Kupp Suffers Minor Ankle Sprain In Scrimmage

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp endured a low-ankle sprain in Saturday's practice though it is said to be a minor injury, per NFL Network's Ian Rapaport. The WR is expected to take it easy this week and maybe even skip practice altogether. The 27-year-old proved just how valuable he was to the Rams […]

Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Fantasy Football Tight End Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: If only because of the last five games of last season, Tyler Higbee should be the Rams leading tight end in 2020. Higbee was able to rack up fantasy points in that span like no one else (he averaged 21.4 from Week 13 to 17) […]

Todd Gurley - A Definitive Outlook for 2020

On December 2nd 2018, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley II torched the Detroit Lions for 132 yards and two touchdowns in a Rams victory. Gurley was capping off one of the best two-year stretches by a running back in recent memory and was the face of one of the NFL's best offenses. He […]

Golden Tate - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Golden Tate is now 32 and entering his 11th season in the NFL. When people head into their fantasy football drafts, nobody thinks about targeting a 32-year-old slot receiver, but Tate is still viable. In fact, when people think about the New York Giants, they don't think about Golden Tate, they think about Saquon Barkley, […]

Welcome back RotoBallers! Below you will find our staff's updated 2020 fantasy football rookie rankings (top 130).

Updated Wide Receiver Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

RotoBaller’s 2020 wide receiver rankings for standard fantasy football leagues are looking a little different than they did a few months ago. The NFL draft, trades, free-agent signings, salary-cap cuts and opt-outs due to the COVID crisis have all affected the wide receiver rankings since the last time our website’s rankings were released. So now […]
