Five Fantasy Football Sleepers Who Will Stay Asleep in 2016

Ah, the sleeper. The very word invokes hope among fantasy football players and sometimes drives pre-draft rankings to take ill-advised turns for the worst. Of course, those middle to late round picks are the stuff that fantasy championships are made of. Knowing which player will have a breakout season or serve as a valuable backup when […]

Five NFL Offenses to Target in Fantasy Drafts: Cardinals, Saints and Steelers

The idea of stacking, or pairing multiple players from the same NFL team on your fantasy team, is nothing new. It's generally more common on daily fantasy sports sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, where a successful pairing of a quarterback and pass-catcher is often crucial to winning a big-money guaranteed prize pool tournament, but it's become […]

Five Players to Target in Standard Leagues, But Fade in PPR Leagues

In the fantasy football world, two statistical categories are valued over all others -- yards and touchdowns. Sure, how points are determined for those yards and touchdowns may vary from league to league. But outside of the most obscure scoring systems, virtually every league is going to award points for yards and touchdowns. One category that many […]

Six Bold Predictions for 2016 - Robert Griffin III, Arian Foster and Devonta Freeman

Predictions are like opinions - everybody's got one. Actually, they're like something else too, but we keep it clean here on Rotoballer.com. Of course, if all predictions came true, then Miss Cleo wouldn't have had such a thriving business. Nevertheless, here are six bold predictions for the upcoming football season that will almost certainly come true […]

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Wide Receiver Pierre Garçon

Last season the Washington Redskins were able to break through and win the NFC East with a record of 9-7. While they disappointed in the wild card round loss to the Green Bay Packers, this was a huge improvement compared to their 4-12 record in 2014. One big reason for this was the arm of quarterback Kirk […]

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Kevin White

As the #7 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, Kevin White was supposed to be the Bears' replacement for perennial Pro-Bowler Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall. A stress fracture in his shin changed those plans, as he required surgery in the pre-season and didn't see the field during his rookie season. Chicago is hoping White will finally […]

Two Time Superbowl Champion DE Justin Tuck Retires

Justin Tuck retired at the end of the 2015-16 season, leaving behind a career filled with numerous accolades and accomplishments.

Position, Team, NFL Draft Spot: WR, New England Patriots, 4.14 Dynasty Positional Rank: 70 Redraft Target Round: Late round selection Analysis: It was only a matter of time before the Patriots addressed their need at wide receiver. They have a few great slot receivers to go along with a pair of receiving tight ends, but they lack a traditional […]

Julian Edelman undergoes successful surgery on foot, all systems go for 2016

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman underwent a second surgery on his foot which was broken back in Week 10 of the 2015 season. He has been seen wearing a protective boot, but the team fully expects Edelman to be recovered in time for training camp. This is great news for a Patriots team that expects […]

Martellus Bennett Traded To Patriots

Martellus Bennett is now teaming up with Tom Brady after being traded to New England for a fourth-round pick. The big tight end should make a nice complement to Rob Gronkowski in the two tight end sets the Patriots like to run. Bennett gets a huge upgrade going from Jay Cutler to Tom Brady, and […]

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

James White "Catching On" to Patriot Way

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% owned in Fleaflicker <-- yes I cheated a smidge to include him. ANALYSIS: If James White is somehow still available in PPR leagues you need to get him. Even if standard though, he has proven that he is trusted by Tom Brady in the passing attack […]

Keep an Eye on Keshawn Martin

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin had just three catches for 26 yards in Sunday's win against the Tennessee Titans. Those numbers aren't worth writing home about, but the bigger news is that Danny Amendola left the game with a knee injury. If Amendola is unable to play […]

The Next Men Up - Denard Robinson, Bryce Brown, Brandon Bolden, and Carolina's Committee

There are four new faces coming out of the woodwork to help you out (maybe) at running back in Week 15. LeGarrette Blount (hip), T.J. Yeldon (MCL), Jonathan Stewart (foot), Thomas Rawls (ankle) all suffered injuries in Week 14, and I guess DuJuan Harris (he stinks) is notably out of the way as well in […]

Brandon Bolden a Sneaky RB Play

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This has been one of the most injury-plagued and confusing seasons I've ever seen for fantasy running backs. The Patriots are always dangerous when it comes to speculating which running back is going to do well for them. However, with LeGarrette […]

James White's Role Growing for Pats

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's still a difficult split happening between James White and Brandon Bolden, and despite Bolden out-touching White 14 to 1 on the ground, it's White that's showing more significant fantasy value. Maybe that's because he actually gets used in the redzone over […]

December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with.
