Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Five Top Running Backs I'm Fading Ever So Slightly

Everyone's going to draft the top guys. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara - and those guys are going to be owned across the board. They rightfully belong in the first round and are being drafted highly. But who are some guys that are being overvalued a bit […]

Wide Receiver Start/Sit Advice - Week 1

Pierre Camus and Chris Mangano break down the wide receiver position to help with tough fantasy football lineup decisions for Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season. They decide who to start or sit among those in WR3 or flex consideration. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube to get all our latest […]

Stop that Hype Train! DaeSean Hamilton

Denver's 2018 draft featured two players that will be linked for quite some time. The narrative doesn't call for much attention in a broad sense, but it definitely does in terms of how they produce for the franchise that selected them. I'm talking about the two wide receivers the Broncos picked more than a year […]

Offense To Revolve Around Evan Engram

The New York Giants passing game, especially early in the season with Eli Manning at quarterback, will revolve around running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram. Engram was second among all tight ends with 320 receiving yards over the final four weeks of last season. The Giants are planning for a huge role […]

NFL NextGen Stats Analysis for Fantasy Football: Introduction

At this point in time, there is no excuse for you to not get the statistics being used in every sport you follow and their importance. Back in the day, it was all about wins and losses, passing yards, and touchdowns scored. It is not that those stats are worthless, but they don't offer much […]

Updated Wide Receiver Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Alright RotoBallers, we are just about there. It's been a long offseason but the NFL season finally kicks off tomorrow!

Around The NFL Pop Quiz: NFC East

We're officially in the last week of preseason. Cuts are done. There are very few "sleepers" that haven't been written about, or who you can get at an affordable price. So I'll save the long, drawn-out introduction for my last article in this series. For now, thanks for reading this long, and if you're yet […]

Giants Defense Catches A Break In Week 1

The New York Giants Defense is catching a few breaks in their Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Most glaringly, Cowboys Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott might not receive a full workload after finally signing on Wednesday. While Tony Pollard has looked good in the preseason, this is absolutely a downgrade to the […]

Bennie Fowler Could Provide Value With Golden Tate Out

New York Giants wide receiver Bennie Fowler is likely to start in the slot in Week 1 with Golden Tate beginning his four-game suspension. The Cowboys pass rush, led by DeMarcus Lawrence and newly-signed Robert Quinn, is likely to be in quarterback Eli Manning’s face often on Sunday. Additionally, both tight end Evan Engram and receiver Sterling Shepard […]

FFPC Classic League Draft Strategy and Results

If you haven't checked out the FFPC already, I highly recommend doing so before the season starts. Whether you are looking for best ball, victory points, superflex or anything else, they have you covered with game types ranging between $35 to $1000+. What is even better is that new sign-ups to the website earn $25 […]

Sterling Shepard Remains An Overlooked Option

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will likely be an overlooked option in Week 1. The Cowboys have a stellar defense, and their young corners Byron Jones and Chidobe Awuzie were impressive last year. However, their linebackers are even better and are likely to limit tight end Evan Engram, so quarterback Eli Manning's passes will […]

Get Off My Lawn! Passing on Rookie RBs in Favor of Veterans

Did you just see what Saquon Barkley did against Washington!? Did you read Phillip Lindsay's last game stat line for the Broncos!? Did you know Nick Chubb racked up 176 yards in just his third game as a starting tailback!? Hold your horses with all this rookie-running back hype, please, and respect your elders. They […]

Updated Tight End Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Ah, the tight end position. Other than the kicker and defenses, the least useful position in fantasy football. But alas, it is a necessary position so we need to look at it. Of course, here we will be talking about typical single-TE leagues with no scoring premium. So, you really have to decide whether or […]

Eli Manning Takes On The Cowboys In Week 1

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will face the Dallas Cowboys in the regular-season opener at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon. He completed 57-of-85 passes for 580 yards (290.0 average passing yards) for three touchdowns and one interception in two games vs. Dallas in 2018. However, his 300-yard performance on Dec. 30 against the Cowboys […]

Saquon Barkley Looks For Redemption In Big D

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will meet the Dallas Cowboys on the road in the regular-season opener at AT&T Stadium. He'll be looking for redemption, too, as he had one of his worst statistical rushing performances in his first-career game in Dallas last season on Sept. 16. He ran 11 times for just […]

Evan Engram Faces Tough Test in Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram gets a difficult matchup versus an athletic Cowboys linebacking corps led by Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch. Engram is likely to be a focal point in the Giants passing attack, so the targets will be there, but he might not rack up large yardage totals. He’ll likely […]

Darius Slayton Still Not Practicing

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) remains out of practice on Tuesday. Slayton has been injured for most of training camp and is unlikely to be active in Week 1 against the Cowboys. He'll also be behind the eight ball in terms of his development early in his rookie year, so don't […]

Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

A lot has been said about what is and what is not a sleeper. And in most cases, looking at sleeper lists, one gets truly surprised to find some great names thrown in them. This season, to me, there are not many players that can be considered capital-S Sleepers like Mike Davis can be. Be it because […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2019

James Conner, Phillip Lindsay, Damien Williams, Gus Edwards, Austin Ekeler. In the final month of the 2018 fantasy season, these five running backs were regularly ranking amongst the top-20 at the position, often as high as top-10 or top-five. One thing they all had in common: None of them even sniffed the top 100 preseason rankings […]

Late-Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform Their ADP

No matter what the masses say about the running game, it will always be an attractive part of football. The explosive, raw bursts that tailbacks showcase each time they're handed the ball by their quarterback has no equal in football. Some times the runs can end at the line of scrimmage, but if the rusher […]

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Running back is the most volatile position in fantasy football. It's possible to put together a winning team while going "zero RB" (not picking a running back in the early rounds), proving how much change there can be in many running backs' value over the course of a year. I don't recommend doing this, for […]

Best Ball Tight End Rankings and Tiers

There is less than a week remaining to join a best-ball draft before the NFL season kicks off. If you're doing a last-minute draft, you obviously want to check our updated rankings and tiers first before taking the plunge. The tight end position is more intriguing than ever. Aside from the obvious top three players, […]

Best Late-Round Tight End Picks If You're Punting the Position

Perhaps more than any other time in recent history, punting the tight end position in the draft seems like an optimal strategy. While it's never good to lock yourself into a strategy before your draft even starts, the obscene amount of buried treasure waiting to be scooped up in the later rounds makes the idea […]

Now, it's time to continue by looking at the rest of the most fantasy-relevant wide receivers on draft day.
