Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2020 Fantasy Football
In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes them because they know I'm just complaining about how Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill is going to finish with zero receptions because it's 10 minutes into the first quarter and he hasn't caught a […]
Boom or Bust Tight End Predictions: Gronk, Fant, and Herndon
For the last few seasons, tight end position was essentially a barren wasteland - there were a couple of elite options in the top tier, but beyond that was slim pickings for fantasy players. This is no longer the case, as tight end is as deep as it's ever been. There are elite options at […]

This marks the fifth installment of my bold predictions for RotoBaller. Boy, how things have changed since my first bold predictions column. We were happily oblivious to Coronavirus.

ADP Landmines - Avoid These Players in 2020
Every year, when we reflect back on the NFL season that was, it's easy to have 20/20 vision and see the mistakes that you made in the draft. In 2019, guys like David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell went in the middle of the first round and didn't perform on par with their first-round billing. Johnson […]
Jets Trading For Kalen Ballage
The New York Jets are acquiring running back Kalen Ballage from the Dolphins on Thursday for a conditional late-round pick, according to a source.

WR Stat Sleepers: Fantasy Points Per Target
In 2019, Marvin Jones Jr. averaged 2.13 fantasy points per target in ESPN standard PPR scoring. "What is that supposed to mean to me?" you ask. Fair enough.

Stop That Hype Train! Miles Sanders
The Philadelphia Eagles offense has often been more banged-up than usual in the past couple of years. Last season, their wide receiver corp was unrecognizable towards the end of the campaign and a bunch of new guys were leading the charge. Heading into this season, the Eagles still have injuries on their wide receiver corp. […]
Anthony Miller - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper
After a good season by Chicago Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky in 2018, the optimism was high for WR Anthony Miller heading into 2019.

The Bears, therefore, brought in QB Nick Foles to compete with Trubisky for the starting QB job, and this […]
Ryan Fitzpatrick Out For Personal Reasons Friday
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was out of practice on Friday for what head coach Brian Flores termed "personal reasons," giving rookie Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Rosen more repetitions.
