The King's One-Man Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

We are very used to seeing seasonal one-man mock drafts, which have now been around since the early part of the century. I cannot officially claim to have invented the exercise, but I do not recall anyone else of prominence in our industry issuing them at the time when I published my first one around […]

Winning Best-Ball Draft Strategies

If you're familiar with the best-ball scene of fantasy football, you can skip ahead. For those of you who are new to one of the most exciting and fastest-growing forms of fantasy sports, welcome! Best-ball leagues for fantasy football are gaining a lot of popularity recently but they require a different approach on draft day. […]

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

Noah Fant, tight end out of Iowa. T.J. Hockenson, tight end out of Iowa. Yes, one of these two former Hawkeyes should be the first tight end taken in rookie drafts this year. While there are some other interesting prospects at the position, your decision if you're in need of a tight end in a […]

Kirk Cousins Trying To Take Next Step In 2019

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had high expectations in his first year in Minnesota after signing a fully guaranteed $84 million deal, but it didn't exactly pay off on the field. Cousins had career highs in completions (425), attempts (606), completion percentage (70.1) and passing touchdowns (30), but the Vikings finished 8-7-1 and missed the […]

Kyle Rudolph Agrees To Four-Year Extension

The Minnesota Vikings agreed with tight end Kyle Rudolph on a four-year, $36 million contract extension on Monday, according to a source. It's bad news for the fantasy stock of second-round tight end Irv Smith in his rookie season, but Rudolph will have to keep producing in order to hold off the youngster of the […]

Jordan Taylor Working As No. 3 Wideout

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Taylor has been working as the No. 3 wideout in spring practices. Taylor could be competing mainly with rookie Dillon Mitchell for the third spot behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs this year. The 27-year-old Taylor didn't play at all last year and has just 29 receptions for 351 yards […]

Let It Go! Players We Need to Finally Drop in Dynasty

If there's one thing I'm guilty of in fantasy football, it's holding onto players in dynasty leagues way, way beyond the point where I should have just dropped them. Sometimes, I'm rewarded by being able to start Wendell Smallwood during a time where the rest of my team is injured, but usually the result is […]

Damien Williams Is a Must-Draft... and Must-Sell

“You know what? Damien Williams is our starter,” said Chiefs RB coach Eric Bieniemy shortly before fantasy football Twitter burned down. My initial reaction to this: "No kidding, what are your other options?" Regardless, Damien Williams, it's now your turn. I don't just mean it's his chance to earn a starting gig on an NFL […]

Fantasy Football Burning Questions - NFC North

Our advance Fantasy Football Divisional series on Burning Questions for the 2019 season continues with hot topics to tackle from the NFC North. The Packers still have the same signature player, but he is no longer the surefire No. 1 guy at his position. The Bears have an RB situation that must be cleared up […]

Dynasty Stock Watch - Tight Ends

The New York Stock Exchange is not the only place where people care a lot about whose stock is skyrocketing and whose is plummeting. The fantasy values of many tight ends have gone up and gone down during this interesting offseason. While nobody’s fantasy stock plunged more than Rob Gronkowski’s after he retired following winning […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)

It used to be that we ignored the tight end position until the middle rounds of a draft. Now, it's not uncommon to see a name like Kelce in the first round and not bat an eyelash, while Ertz and Kittle are guaranteed to be taken within the top 30 picks. In best-ball leagues, you […]

When to Target QBs in Superflex Dynasty Leagues

Recently, the Rotoballer NFL staff got together to conduct a mock draft for a dynasty startup with Superflex rules. You […]

Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review

I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player. In Dynasty leagues, you have to have a different mindset (except for Frank Gore who’ll play for another 10 years with at least 200 touches each time). Just after […]

Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)

Quarterback has to be approached differently in best-ball as opposed to re-draft leagues. Whereas in most competitive leagues, you can get away with drafting one quarterback and streaming throughout the year if necessary, you don't have that luxury in a draft-only format. Bye weeks, injuries, and flat-out bad play must be accounted for during the […]

The Minnesota Vikings continue to discuss a contract extension with tight end Kyle Rudolph, but neither side has made much progress, per a source with knowledge of the situation.

Rookie Spotlight - Josh Jacobs

After our recent RotoBaller rookie dynasty draft, organizer and lead editor Pierre Camus asked us if we could conceivably select one position to pick from, where would it be? My answer was easy, although it sounded amateurish at first: Give me the first pick. Not because of the pomp and circumstance surrounding it. I want […]

Rookie Spotlight - Diontae Johnson

One of the most perplexing selections of the 2019 NFL Draft was Pittsburgh Steelers' third-round wide receiver, Diontae Johnson. The Steelers took Johnson in the third round ahead of dozens of WRs which the vast majority of scouts and analysts had ranked above him. Wherever I looked, I saw a sixth or seventh round grade […]
