FFPC ADP Insights and Analysis: Spotlighting Value Targets

Savvy fantasy football players and high stakes competitors are already getting their drafting reps in at the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) site. When reviewing the Average Draft Position reports in the Footballguys Players Championship FFPC leagues, which have been open since early May, there are some interesting ADP targets to examine and comment on. […]

DeVante Parker Could See Less Targets

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker put together a fairly average year in 2020, but it wasn't all his fault. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa struggled to get the ball downfield, which is likely why Parker saw his stats decrease. Parker finished with a 61.2 catch percentage last season, which was the second-best of his career. Although, […]

RotoBaller Staff Mock Draft - Values, Reaches and Trends

As fantasy football draft season approaches, the RotoBaller staff couldn't wait to get things started. In what has become an annual tradition, we gathered 12 analysts to take part in a mock draft in order to see where they value players and go about roster construction. This draft was conducted as a full PPR league […]

Mike Gesicki Could Have Decreased Role

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has put together two straight campaigns with 50-plus receptions. He has pushed himself into the top 10 TE conversation for fantasy leagues. However, the additions of Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller could hinder Gesicki's value. Last season, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not aggressive and often times dumped the ball […]

Myles Gaskin Is A Worthy RB2

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin seemingly came out of nowhere and took the lead-back job last season. In 11 games, Gaskin finished with 584 rushing yards and three touchdowns with 41 receptions, 388 yards and two scores through the air. The dual-threat back appears to be the favorite for the lead-back job heading into […]

Tua Tagovailoa Needs To Step It Up

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not as reliable as the team had hoped during his rookie campaign. He was often times benched for veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick during important situations. Tagovailoa didn't turn the ball over frequently, but he seemed scared or unable to throw the deep ball. A season later, the Dolphins acquired […]

Running Backs Draft Strategies - The King & Pocket Aces

In this episode of The King and Pockets Aces, RotoBaller's Scott "The King" Engel and Anthony "Pocket Aces" Aniano share their highly charged Fantasy insights. They look at the latest and upcoming NFL player moves, NFL player rankings and draft strategy to best prepare you for the 2021 fantasy football season. In Episode 15 of […]

Dolphins Would Still Consider Trading For Deshaun Watson

The Miami Dolphins have enough lingering questions about second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's ability and future that they would still consider trading for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson if his legal situation is somehow resolved in time for the 2021 season, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the team's thinking. Watson has been accused of […]

Quarterback Draft Rankings and Analysis

The quarterback has become the most overlooked position in standard fantasy formats. Players have gotten smarter over the years by realizing just how deep the position is, and the days of QB runs happening in the first couple of rounds in the draft are long gone. Still, you're unlikely to be able to win a […]

Chase Upside, Not Safety to Win Fantasy Leagues

The spring of 2020 was a strange time in everyone's life. All of a sudden there were no sports, no leaving the house, and a whole lot of uncertainty for everyone. I promise I am not writing this to give you flashbacks. But, given this new and sudden free time, I dove deep into my […]

Isaiah Ford Returns To The Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Isaiah Ford to an undisclosed deal on Friday and waived safety Brian Cole and center Tyler Gauthier in corresponding moves. Ford was traded to the New England Patriots at last year's trade deadline, but he didn't play a single snap for them and was ultimately released. The 25-year-old former […]

Late-Round Quarterbacks Who Will Outperform Their ADP

It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge […]

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a rolling dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football either. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are […]

Xavien Howard Generating Trade Chatter

There has been a lot of trade chatter concerning Miami Dolphins All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard, who led the NFL with 10 interceptions in 2020. Howard is unhappy with his contract after signing a five-year, $75.25 million extension two years ago and wants a new and improved deal after his excellent season last year. However, he's […]

Early 2021 PPR Rankings Analysis - Tight End

The tight end position has been top-heavy for many years and it's no different in 2021. Travis Kelce and Darren Waller have led their respective teams in targets the last two seasons, while George Kittle has averaged 8.1 targets per game the last three seasons. Meanwhile, Kyle Pitts out of Florida has already been dubbed […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Quarterback

In dynasty leagues, hitching your wagon to the right gunslinger is crucial. Unlike the turbulence at running back and unpredictability at wide receiver or tight end, quarterbacks can be consistent point-getters for years to come without the need for turnover. The biggest question is how to weigh youth versus experience. That's what we aim to […]

ADP Arbitrage - Quarterback Draft Bargains

Let's finish up this series with a look at the all-important quarterback position. When you're done, you should look back at running back, wide receiver, and tight end ADP comps as well. While ADP is very informative and can help you be informed about where you should start worrying about potentially missing out on a player, […]

Endgame Primer: Drafting For Playoff Strength Of Schedule

You cruise to the best record in your league, only to get bumped off by that rival who barely snuck into the playoffs. It’s one of the sheer joys of fantasy football -- for your opponent anyway. Now is the time to take steps to prevent such heartache, or better yet, position yourself to be […]

Allen Hurns Fighting For A Roster Spot

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns is in danger of missing the cut later this summer at training camp. Will Fuller, rookie Jaylen Waddle, DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Lynn Bowden Jr. are likely locked into the first five receiver spots. Hurns is a versatile veteran, but he'll be competing with Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant […]

The Deepest Dive: RB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Following up on our earlier look at wide receiver sleepers and quarterback sleepers for deep leagues, it's time to look at running backs. Fantasy leagues can be as large as the commish wants them too, but for our purposes, we're going to define a deep league as one in which at least 16 teams take […]

Early 2021 Standard Rankings Analysis: Tight End

The hearty supply of potent and powerful players at the tight end position heading into the 2021 NFL season are probably making fantasy footballers’ mouths water more than a surf-and-turf combo of filet mignon and lobster tail. While only two tight ends broke the 1,000-yard barrier (Travis Kelce and Darren Waller) and two had double-digit […]

The Deepest Dive - QB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

Early ADP Variations: ESPN Overvalued & Undervalued

The surest path to the prizes in fantasy football this year is landing one of the five elite quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, or Dak Prescott. They’ll provide a sizable week-to-week scoring advantage, often with their legs as well as with their arms that warrant the draft cost and then some. […]

ADP Arbitrage - Running Back Draft Bargains

Did your parents ever ask you, "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, does that mean you would too?" Well, that is how fantasy football mostly works when it comes to drafting your team yearly. There is something called ADP (Average Draft Position) that is nothing more than just an aggregated mark that lets […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Wide Receivers

Wide receivers are the staple of any good dynasty team. Attrition keeps attacking the running back position more and more each year. Those in non-Superflex leagues can get by with one good quarterback. At wide receiver, you'll need at least three solid players to form the core of your squad for years to come. Below […]
