When you get to the late rounds of fantasy football drafts, you are chasing upside.

Pay Up! Auction Draft Strategies for 2018

There’s nothing more exciting in a fantasy football auction when you have one of your top targets up and you currently have the highest bid.

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]

Jordan Matthews - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

I thought Jordan Matthews had sleeper appeal even before Julian Edelman was caught cheating. While Matthews' ADP has risen a bit, by no means is he costly. I know it's been a while was Matthews was "good," but hear me out. He didn't suddenly forget how to football. Matthews has an impressive college resume. He's […]

Kenny Stills (WR, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

When you get to the late rounds of fantasy football drafts, you are chasing upside. You already have your starting rotation of players in the fold; now all that is left is to find that league-winning talent late in your drafts that nobody sees coming. These value picks serve two purposes: 1) they add depth […]

Jay Cutler Probably Done With Football

Free-agent quarterback Jay Cutler, who came out of retirement to play for the Dolphins in 2017, is once again mulling retirement. On his wife's show "Very Cavallari," Cutler said he's probably done playing football when asked. “I mean, I can’t say 100. Probably,” Cutler responds, noting September and the start of the season as a […]

These types of headlines […]

2018 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues

The yards are getting harder and harder to come by for today’s running backs in the NFL. There were only nine 1,000-yard rushers in the NFL last season, the second-lowest amount over the past 15 years. The 2018 rushing champion, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, led the league with the lowest amount of yards (1,327) since […]

Evan Engram vs 2018 Tight End Rookie Class

Oftentimes, the learning curve for tight ends entering the NFL is extremely high. A common trend among NFL coaches is to draft several tight ends and develop them for a few years as blockers and receivers before letting them have a significant portion of the team's offensive snaps/target share. For fantasy football, the tight end […]

Cameron Wake May Play Less

Although Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake became just the fourth player in the last 15 years to record double-digit sacks after turning 35, the Dolphins may choose to rotate him more often on the defensive line in order to keep him fresh in 2018. “I don’t have this ‘Everybody look at me. I must […]

How Should We Value David Johnson?

David Johnson's season, and many of his fantasy owners' seasons, ended abruptly during Week 1 of the 2017 NFL Season. Fantasy's number one ranked player suffered a dislocated wrist that required season-ending surgery. Todd Gurley took over the mantle of fantasy football's best player and enters 2018 as the likely number one pick. Johnson is […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Standard)

The pass-happy NFL was not as receiver-friendly in 2017 as it was the year before. Running the ball made a comeback this past season, as did spreading the ball around to many different pass catchers instead of zoning in one guy all the time. 24 wide receivers broke the 1,000-yard barrier in 2016, compared to […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Tight End (Half-PPR)

Unfortunately, tight ends as a position have been losing value in the NFL for quite a while. Gone are the days where tight ends were fantasy points machines, as teams are spreading the ball more and more and using their tight ends as blockers. However, there are still several high-performance tight ends in the league […]

Rotoballer's first mock draft of the 2018 fantasy football season is in the books. You may think that our results would closely mirror our own early PPR rankings, but that isn't always the case.

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Half-PPR)

The last few years has seen a fall from grace for the wide receiver position in fantasy football formats. Due to the changes in offensive structures of teams (more of them spreading the ball around), the list of top wide receivers has become smaller and smaller. However, that does not mean that there are still […]

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year TE Should Go First in Rookie Drafts?

As a dynasty owner preparing for your upcoming rookie draft, the top of your board is probably not littered with tight ends.
