Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie To Take His Time

Free-agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said he's in no rush to make a decision in free agency, and he may wait until "April sometime."

The New York Giants have reportedly expressed interest in free-agent running back Jerick McKinnon.

Early 2018 Breakouts - Tight End

2018 could very well be “The Year of the Tight End.” The position in fantasy football is going to be as loaded with breakout candidates in 2018 as Starbucks is with espressos and acoustic music.

Trusting Rookie Wide Receivers in Redraft Leagues

If I had to list one mistake most commonly made by fantasy owners on draft day, it would be recency bias. We've seen it time and time again - owners overreacting to what happened the previous year even when it was so clearly an outlier. The QB boom of 2011. The rookie WR boom of 2014. […]

Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers - Tight End

Not every fantasy football team can have Rob Gronkowski on its roster, but many dynasty fantasy squads can have a good tight end that will contribute for the next several seasons.

Andrew Norwell Expected To Sign With Giants

The belief is that free-agent offensive guard Andrew Norwell is a "done deal" to land with the New York Giants. New Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is familiar with Norwell from his time leading the Panthers and is expected to bring Norwell over to shore up New York's pitiful offensive line. Norwell is one of […]

The New York Giants are expected to pursue Carolina Panthers impending free-agent place kicker Graham Gano when free agency kicks off March 12, according to a source. Gano has been with Carolina since 2012 and was the kicker when new Giants general manager Dave Gettleman was with the Panthers from 2013-16. The Giants would like […]

Early Dynasty Startup Mock Draft - Round 1

Here at Rotoballer, it’s never too early for a football mock draft! Free agency and the NFL draft will change the composition of the league, but the accompanying hype can skew how we feel about players and lead to overdrafting mistakes (can anyone say Terrelle Pryor?).

Pat Shurmur Has Confidence In Eli Manning

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that quarterback Eli Manning has "years" left as a starter in the NFL. Manning was a failure in 2017, posting under 4,000 yards passing for the first time since 2013, and he had 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 15 games. However, it didn't help that his […]

RB Efficiency Numbers - How Valid Are They?

There are a lot of stats out there that purport to give you an edge in your fantasy leagues.

Odell Beckham Jr. Doesn't Want To Play In The Preseason

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. posted on his Twitter account that he doesn't want to play any preseason snaps this year.

Dynasty Wide Receivers - Football Rankings Analysis

Wide receivers have been prioritized by dynasty owners in recent years, as the movement toward running-back-by-committee and relatively short shelf-life of running backs has made them a more volatile commodity. Receivers can be productive well into their 30s and tend to be more consistent. After 2017, we may be seeing a shift back toward the […]

New York Giants quarterback Davis Webb, who was drafted in the third round under former general manager Jerry Reese and head coach Ben McAdoo, has spoken with new GM Dave Gettleman and new head coach Pat Shurmur and has stated his case to be the future signal caller once Eli Manning is done. “I think […]
