Jaren Hall Effective In Opportunity For Backup Quarterback Role

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall played most of the second half against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, looking sharp in his limited passing opportunities. The 2023 fifth-round pick completed four of his five passes for 87 yards and two scores, including an incredible 71-yard bomb to Jeshaun Jones. The Vikings were ahead by multiple scores […]

Jalen Nailor Shows Explosiveness In Only Reception

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor played only one drive but saw two looks in the team's second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.

Kene Nwangwu Rushes For 45 Yards Against Cleveland

Minnesota Vikings running back Kene Nwangwu showed consistency and reliability in his starting opportunity against the Cleveland Browns. He had seven rushing attempts for 45 yards in Saturday's win over Cleveland.

Nick Mullens Inconsistent In Backup QB Audition

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens got the start and played the first half in the team's second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.

When Should I Draft T.J. Hockenson in 2024 Fantasy Football Drafts?

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson completed his best season in the NFL after tallying career-highs in receptions (95) and receiving yards (960) last season. He added five touchdowns, the second-highest total in five NFL seasons. However, he could have finished his first 1,000-yard season if not for the torn ACL and MCL injury he […]

Sam Darnold Won't Play Versus Cleveland

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold won't be active for Saturday's preseason showdown with the Cleveland Browns. Instead, No. 2 signal-caller Nick Mullens will get the start. With J.J. McCarthy (knee) out for the season, Darnold is now atop the Vikings depth chart. The 27-year-old spent his first six seasons in the league with the Jets, […]

Jaren Hall Likely To Make The Team

Because of the season-ending injury to Minnesota Vikings rookie first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee), Jaren Hall will likely make the 53-man roster out of training camp as the No. 3 behind Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens. The fifth-round pick a year ago is still raw, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Mark Craig writes that we […]

August is here, and at RotoBaller HQ, we are constantly pumping out fantasy football content and rankings to help you crush your drafts.

Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee) was officially placed on the season-ending injured reserve on Friday afternoon.

Matt Corral Signs With Minnesota

Free-agent quarterback Matt Corral is signing with the Minnesota Vikings after they placed first-round selection J.J. McCarthy (knee) on Injured Reserve.

Updated Running Back Half-PPR Fantasy Football Rankings (2024)

The running back position has changed dramatically over the last few seasons, and these changes have shifted how ball carriers are approached in fantasy football. With most teams opting to use a committee of backs, the first round of fantasy drafts is now dominated by wide receivers. This means star workhorse running backs are available […]

Aaron Jones, James Conner, D'Andre Swift – 2024 Fantasy Football Running Back Outlooks

The 2024 NFL regular season is nearly here. Fantasy players are trying to find which running back will be this year’s Kyren Williams and select him with a late-round pick.

Three Fantasy Football Quarterback Sleepers and ADP Values (2024)

In fantasy football drafts, there are multiple tiers of quarterbacks to target.

Quarterbacks to Avoid in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues

In recent years, quarterbacks have become increasingly popular in fantasy football. This position has continued to climb up draft boards as they have continued to put up video game numbers. Like anything, as something becomes more popular, the prices go up. In this article, we'll be focusing on four quarterbacks whose prices are too high, […]

Every Fantasy Football Running Back With a Potential Workhorse Role in 2024

The term “workhorse running back” is nearly ancient history in today’s day and age. Committee backfields have become increasingly popular as the value of running backs as a whole has decreased. While deploying a committee is smart in real-life football to reduce wear and tear on the game’s most injury-prone position, they frustrate the life […]

Top 3 Impact Rookie TEs For 2024 Fantasy Football

It usually takes tight ends a couple of years to finally see production. T.J. Hockenson, Dallas Goedert, and Trey McBride are a few of the tight ends who failed to really make an immediate impact in their first year. Hockenson, Goedert, and McBride all totaled less than 375 receiving yards as rookies.  Sometimes, there are […]

Overvalued RBs To Avoid In Fantasy Football Drafts - Josh Jacobs, Raheem Mostert, Rachaad White, more

The NFL views the running back differently than they did 20 years ago. Instead of having a featured guy getting 350 or more touches a year, teams now use multiple running backs. While the change in the backfield is good for the league, fantasy football players are split on the change. While having an elite […]

Early-Round Fantasy Football Avoids: Overvalued Draft Picks for Best Ball - Drake London, Zay Flowers, Josh Jacobs, more

Those in best ball drafts don't need their early-round picks to smash every week, but they better have a great chance at it while also providing the firepower to finish at the top of their position. We don't typically want consistent, median outcomes here. Some of you might exclusively play 50/50 best ball double-ups but […]

The Most Overvalued Fantasy Football Player from Every NFC Team (2024)

Fantasy football is all about value. If you pick a player with an RB19 predraft ADP and he finishes as the RB10, that is great value. On the other end of that, if you take a player as the RB7 and he finishes as the RB22, that will severely hurt your team during the year.  […]

Jordan Addison Avoids Serious Injury

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) appears to have avoided a serious injury after exiting Wednesday's training camp practice.

Fantasy football drafts are right around the corner, which means it's time to start thinking about those first few rounds.

Three 2024 Fantasy Football Committee Running Back Busts

When it comes to fantasy football, the allure of a high-upside running back can be irresistible. Yet, every seasoned manager knows the frustration that accompanies committee backfields. These backfields, often a staple in the NFL, can turn promising draft picks into week-to-week headaches.  The committee approach, where two or more running backs share the workload, […]
