Running Back PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts
If you have one of the top-three picks in a draft this season, consider yourself very fortunate. Those are enviable spots, where you get the unique opportunity to select one of the three very best superstar running backs. Once those guys are off the board, you progressively start to deal with more and more question […]
Dan Bailey Hits One Field Goal In Win
Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey only had a few chances on Sunday night but he made them count, knocking in a 24-yard field goal in the first quarter and an extra point in the third. Newcomer Kaare Vedvik was brought in for an extra point in the fourth quarter, and there's a non-zero chance that […]
Chad Beebe Has One Catch In Victory
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Beebe played just 12 offensive snaps in the game and has seemed to emerge as the favorite for the third receiver role behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Jordan Taylor and Brandon Zylstra remain […]
Chad Beebe Locked Into No. 3 Role
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe looks locked into the No. 3 receiving role with the team trying to trade Laquon Treadwell. The 25-year-old only played in three games in his rookie season, catching four passes for 39 yards. Beebe is unlikely to see a huge role in the offense behind Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen […]
Alexander Mattison Tallies 10 Carries
Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison had a solid game on Sunday night, rushing 10 times for 41 yards operating as the lead back in starter Dalvin Cook's absence. Mattison also caught 1-of-2 targets for four receiving yards before exiting the contest. Mattison's preseason usage and training camp buzz have indicated that he's the […]
Laquon Treadwell "Showcased" On Sunday Night
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell played 27 snaps in Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks, a team-high among wide receivers. He performed well, catching 4-of-4 targets for 47 yards while playing most of his snaps with third-string quarterback Kyle Sloter in the second half of the contest. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, after the […]
Kyle Rudolph Quiet In Limited Action
Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph didn't play much on Sunday, but he managed to reel in his only target for a gain of 11 yards in the first quarter. Rudolph was out-shined by rookie Irv Smith Jr. in this game (five catches for 28 yards and a touchdown), but we need to remember to […]
Stefon Diggs Targeted Once On Sunday
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs saw limited action on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks, hauling in his one target for six receiving yards in the contest. The lack of target share in the offense is not a concern for Diggs - he finished with 149 targets (just four behind Adam Thielen) to go […]
Mike Boone Tallies 111 Scrimmage Yards Against Seahawks
Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone picked up 66 yards on 21 carries and caught one pass for 45 yards during a 25-19 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 of the preseason. The 24-year-old is an explosive playmaker, but Dalvin Cook and rookie Alexander Mattison are ahead of him on the depth chart. […]

Adam Thielen Has Efficient Outing In Win
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was his usual dependable self on Sunday, snagging all three of his targets for 45 yards in limited action with the first-team offense. Thielen made a nice over-the-shoulder grab for 34 yards in the first quarter and drew a pass interference penalty on a deep ball the very next […]
Dalvin Cook Doesn't Play on Sunday Night
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was listed as active but didn't see the field on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks. Cook was held out of last week's contest as well - the Vikings are being extra cautious with their third-year back during the preseason as he has struggled to stay healthy early in […]
Irv Smith Jr. Snags Touchdown In Impressive Game
Minnesota Vikings rookie tight end Irv Smith Jr. had an impressive night on Sunday, at least as far as preseason games go. Smith Jr. caught all five of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown, and he looks firmly entrenched as the Vikings top backup option at the tight end spot. It's never a […]
Kirk Cousins Solid Against Seahawks
Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback Kirk Cousins was efficient in limited action on Sunday night, going 6-for-8 for 68 yards passing and leading the Vikings to a Dan Bailey 24-yard field goal in the first quarter. Cousins showed nice poise in the pocket and delivered a few beautiful deep balls to Adam Thielen before being pulled […]

Laquon Treadwell Put On Trade Block
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has been put on the trading block, according to Albert Breer of SI.com. This has to be among the most unsurprising news coming out of Vikings training camp, as the 2016 first-round pick has been extremely disappointing despite receiving plenty of opportunities (one career touchdown, 61.5% catch rate) the […]
Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage
There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, completion percentage isn't the most reliable of metrics. This is because it can easily be skewed by the talent around a quarterback, dropped passes, and various other […]

August is here and that means preseason football and fantasy football draft season is upon us. We here at RotoBaller have compiled our fantasy football staff rankings for 2019 and it's time to look at our quarterbacks. We're in quite the era for passing thanks to the league's rules and current talent, yet most drafts still see […]
Target Regression Candidates - Tight End
Fantasy Football Rule No. 271: A pass-catcher cannot catch passes unless he is targeted. The “target” was not a stat I remember fantasy football players worrying about in the 1990s or early 2000s, though. It was not a stat on a tight end’s line when you checked his numbers in the box score or on […]

Stop that Hype Train! Jared Cook
Considering how the NFL (like every other sport nowadays) is skewing younger, it must be acknowledged that Jared Cook poses a great case for veterans to fight for consideration as valuable pieces. Not only is Cook entering his age-32 season, but he's also only missed 11 games in his 10-year career, and played the full […]
Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Heading into your fantasy football draft, remember that quarterback is not a position you need to target early in the draft. Historically, there always are sleepers available late that could help you win a championship. We had a perfect example of this last season with Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes was only the 16th-ranked quarterback in drafts […]
Alexander Mattison Shows Well In Debut
Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison put up a solid effort on Friday night, carrying nine times for 30 yards and catching 1-of-2 targets for a one-yard receiving touchdown in the victory. The touchdown came on a well-executed play-action pass from starting quarterback Kirk Cousins in the game's opening drive. He was outplayed by […]
Kirk Cousins Perfect In Preseason Debut
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was only given one drive to show off on Friday night, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. Cousins was 4-for-4 for 65 yards and a touchdown, throwing a one-yard score to Alexander Mattison following catches by Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph. The offense was very efficient on the […]
Stop that Hype Train! Eric Ebron
It's been five seasons since Eric Ebron entered the NFL. Looking at his days in Detroit, who would have predicted he could put on such a great season with Indianapolis? After four years in the league, Ebron finally seemed to find his place. To call him a sleeper might be a stretch, but given his […]
Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again
Players are supposed to make a leap in their second season, but the past few years have been littered with wide receivers who just...didn't. Kevin White. Devante Parker. Breshad Perriman. Corey Coleman. Josh Doctson. Laquon Treadwell. Without even looking past the first round, we've got a good list of disappointing football players. The 2018 wide […]
Irv Smith Jr. Being Moved Around Formation
Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. recently told ESPN's Courtney Cronin that the Vikings are getting creative with his usage in the passing game, lining him up out wide and even in the backfield on occasion. The rookie second-rounder was listed as the second tight end on the team's first unofficial depth chart, and […]
