Is Kyle Rudolph Draftable?

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph enters his 10th NFL season with 47 career touchdowns, including six last season. The veteran has been a steady presence throughout his Vikings tenure but caught only 39 passes for 367 yards last season. It was a down season after averaging 68 receptions with 668.6 yards and just over […]

Bisi Johnson Carving Out A Role In Vikings Offense

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson continues to carve out a role for himself heading into the 2020 season. The Vikings drafted Justin Jefferson and signed Tajai Sharpe in the offseason but it has been Johnson that has impressed in camp. The former 7th round pick may not be able to replace the breakaway speed […]

Adam Thielen Ready For Tons Of Targets

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should be in line for plenty of targets in 2020. The Vikings traded deep-threat Stefon Diggs in the offseason and then drafted Justin Jefferson early in the draft to replace him. While Jefferson learns the ropes of the NFL game, expect quarterback Kirk Cousins to lean on Thielen heavily […]

Dalvin Cook In Line For Huge Season

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has spent most of the offseason vying for a long-term contract but will have to let his play do the talking in 2020. After the specter of a holdout was lifted and Cook reported to camp, all eyes will be on the 25-year-old as the focal point of the […]

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 […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~164 ANALYSIS: You can criticize Kirk Cousins all you want, but the truth is that the current Vikings' starter has finished as a top-15 quarterback in five consecutive seasons, which means every year he's started more than five games. His lowest finish (during the 2019 season) was directly correlated […]

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, […]

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. […]

Coaching Matters: NFC North Play-Calling Impact on RB

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players. That means looking at things like game tape, the team's offensive line, or their primary playcaller's historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge […]

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 […]

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 […]

Yannick Ngakoue Joins Vikings, Signs New Deal

The Minnesota Vikings have acquired defensive end Yannick Ngakoue from the Jaguars, ending a months-long saga that involved the former Pro Bowler wanting to depart from the organization at any cost. Ngakoue additionally signed a new one-year deal, albeit a discount of what he would have received had he accepted a franchise tender from the […]

Justin Jefferson (WR, MIN) - Rookie Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~102 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~120 ANALYSIS: What was with former-LSU Tigers rookies entering 2020!? This is what a National Championship does to those who win it, I guess. Jefferson played a majority of his snaps (870) out of the slot in Louisiana last season and was the security blanket at times for Burrow. […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TEN) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Humphries moved from Tampa to Tennessee before last season, which resulted in a notable rise in ADP (from WR99 in 2018 to WR70 in 2019) but also in a huge drop-off in production (from 188.7 PPR points two seasons ago to a measly 86.5 last […]

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 […]

Welcome back RotoBallers! Below you will find our staff's updated 2020 fantasy football rookie rankings (top 130). These rankings are being released after the 2020 NFL Draft, but things will of course change as we get closer to the start of the NFL season. Adjustments to these rookie rankings will be made all offseason long up until […]

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 […]

Impact of J.K. Dobbins on the Ravens' Backfield

With the 55th overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, the powerhouse Baltimore Ravens selected Ohio State standout J.K. Dobbins to bolster an already-impressive ground attack. Dobbins joins a backfield that also consists of last season’s starter, fantasy RB8 for the season, Mark Ingram II, as well as reserves Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. For […]

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 […]

Bisi Johnson Has Inside Track For Starter's Role

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson has been so consistent and productive during camp that he currently has the inside track at starting the season as the team's No. 2 receiver. The Vikings drafted Justin Jefferson in the first round to step in and become a starter, and he has looked impressive at times. But […]

2020 RotoBaller Superflex League Draft Recap

For the majority of the summer, I wasn't sure if I was even going to play fantasy football this year. I was pretty adamant that a season wouldn't happen. As August came and went and the NFL's testing protocols proved effective, my optimism began to grow and the idea of sitting out a season just […]

Tajae Sharpe (WR, MIN) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: 2020 is going to be a tough year for rookies, and while Justin Jefferson will most probably end up as the strongest second option in Minny's offense by the end of the year, someone else might have a chance at getting significant snaps early in […]

Rookie Running Back Primer: Analyzing ADP Value for 2020

Rookie running backs are certainly volatile and we're always dealing with the unknown aspect of how a player's game will translate to the big show. How rookies make the transition will be even more imperative this season as players and teams deal with a more limited training camp and zero preseason games. However, every single […]
