Looking For Market Inefficiencies: RB Return On Investment

When it comes to Return on Investment (ROI), I keep things as simple as I can. I just take a player's ADP entering the season and divide it by his season-end final ranking among all players in the league. That's because every player is available in drafts and therefore every player should be taken into […]

Running Backs to Stash in Dynasty Pre-Draft

The NFL Draft is traditionally viewed as a time when end-of-bench guys lose value because their teams draft new players to replace them. But 32 NFL teams aren't drafting running backs during this draft, which means that there's value to be found among players who are currently in the league. This is a good time […]

Early 2020 Breakouts: Wide Receiver

That’s why the team at RotoBaller is delivering […]

Dolphins Looking At Top Running Back Prospects

The Miami Dolphins have invited three of this year's top running back prospects -- Ohio State's J.K. Dobbins, Georgia's D'Andre Swift and Florida State's Cam Akers -- for three of their 30 permitted non-local prospect visits. Dobbins was the only one able to make it to Miami's team headquarters before the NFL shut down because […]

Dolphins Have Done Extensive Homework On Justin Herbert

No team has done more homework on Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert than the Miami Dolphins over the last two years, and that continued recently when the team had a video call with him, according to a college football source. The Dolphins like Herbert's skill set, his size (6-foot-6), his build and his arm strength. But […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

Just a year ago, we were bemoaning how boring the tight end position was in fantasy football. There was Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, George Kittle and a bunch of scrubs. Everyone else was lumped into an unappealing mass of nonproductivity. Then the season came and names like Darren Waller and Austin Hooper emerged as studs, not […]

Dolphins Unlikely To Trade Up For Joe Burrow

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is against trading the farm to move up to No. 1 overall to select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, according to sources.

A lot has changed at the quarterback position since last year.

32 for 32: NFL Draft Predictions for the Eagles

The Eagles lucked into the playoffs in 2019 by winning the worst division in football, the NFC East. But from a fantasy perspective, this team needs a lot of work.

2020 NFL Early-Draft Exploits: VOA vs. ADP for Wide Receivers

I am introducing three metrics for fantasy football for the 2020 season: Value Over Starter (VOS), Value Over Average (VOA), and Value Over Replacement (VOR). The idea behind the concept was simple: take position scarcity into account and calculate how each player over/underperformed when compared to those with starter/average/replacement value at that concrete position. With that […]

Early 2020 Breakout Candidates - Tight End
