The Grass IS Greener - Free Agent Fantasy Risers

The NFL Free Agency period is one of the most exciting times of the year for NFL fans. Outside of the NFL Draft, there really isn't a lot to be excited about as an NFL fan. If you're a dynasty football fan, this is an extremely fun time of year. 2019 was no exception when […]

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 […]

Dynasty Price Check - Mike Gesicki

Last year, the Miami Dolphins spent a second-round pick on Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki. Tight end had long been a rough position for the Dolphins, as the team hasn't had a player at the position hit the 500-yard mark since Charles Clay in 2014, but the move to pick Gesicki seemed like a […]

2019 Dynasty Price Check - Tre'Quan Smith

When it comes to dynasty football leagues you know there is no offseason.

Today's column will take a look at New Orleans wide receiver […]

Burning Fantasy Football Questions - NFC South

Our advance Divisional series on Burning Questions for the 2019 Fantasy Football season continues with issues that must be considered in the NFC South. The RB scenarios in Atlanta and Tampa Bay could be shifting, and the QBs in Carolina and New Orleans are not quite as highly regarded as they were in the past. […]

Dynasty Price Check - Dede Westbrook

Last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars were a mess offensively, with the quarterback combination of Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler combining to throw for just 15 touchdowns to go along with 13 interceptions. Bortles, who'd been a guy fantasy owners could count on for solid production in the past, bombed badly enough that the team benched […]

Late-Round Dynasty Stashes and Deep Sleepers

One of the most fun parts of being involved in dynasty formats is watching your team evolve year after year. A part of that process is being aware of the landing spots of talented undrafted free agents. Not all the prospects are highly sought after by NFL teams, yet there is still value that tends […]

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 […]

Saints Sign Javorius Allen

The New Orleans Saints signed free-agent running back Javorius Allen on Tuesday, according to a source. Also known as Buck Allen, the former USC Trojan had 41 carries for 110 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in 2018 for the Ravens. He also caught 35 passes for 196 yards and two more scores. He'll […]

When to Target QBs in Superflex Dynasty Leagues

Fantasy football has as many different variations and scoring formats as there are players in the NFL. The way to become a better player is to understand those formats and the required strategies to succeed. Recently, the Rotoballer NFL staff got together to conduct a mock draft for a dynasty startup with Superflex rules. You […]

Jared Cook Impressing Saints

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook has impressed quarterback Drew Brees so far during organized team activities. "He’s got great length, so he’s got a big catch radius. You feel confident with those 50-50 balls. You feel like there’s a lot of places where you can throw it where he can get it and […]

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 […]

Megadeals Coming For Michael Thomas, Cameron Jordan?

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas can become a free agent after this season, while defensive end Cameron Jordan can become a free agent in 2021. Thomas and Jordan, who are both attending organized team activities, are two of the most underpaid stars at their positions in the NFL. Thomas, 26, will make only […]

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 […]

Saints Working Out Running Backs Thursday

The New Orleans Saints worked out free-agent running backs Fozzy Whittaker, Rob Kelley and Javorius Allen on Thursday. New Orleans is just looking for some extra backfield depth behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray. Allen is probably the most intriguing, but he'd be competing for the No. 3 role with the likes of Dwayne Washington […]

Cameron Meredith Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) is not practicing on Thursday at organized team activities. “He’s on the sideline, but they say probably next week he can do a little bit more,” wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson said. "But he looks healthy. He looks good. He looks like he’s coming along well.” Meredith […]

Veteran Running Backs Set to Lose Touches in 2019

Running backs these days have a shelf life about as long as raw chicken. Once running backs play several seasons in the NFL, the wear and tear of having linemen, linebackers and strong safeties tackling them bruises their bodies and slows their speed. That is why later in their careers they go from being fantasy […]

Alexander Mattison Compared To Latavius Murray

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison, selected late in the third round of the draft, has similarities to Latavius Murray, who previously backed up Dalvin Cook. Mattison, 5-foot-11, 221 pounds, resembles Murray in stature and also had the third most missed tackles of any running back in the draft in 2018. There's little doubt that […]
