Raiders Have High Expectations For Josh Jacobs

As training camp approaches for the Oakland Raiders, running back Josh Jacobs may be the player that the team needs the most to help balance the offense in 2019.

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Christian Kirk or N'Keal Harry?

The NFL draft is completed, and, as the offseason continues to wind, dynasty drafts are slowly taking place.

While there are the clear top guys at the position when you move your way […]

The King's One-Man Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB is #1 in Rookie Drafts?

This year's rookie class didn't feature an undisputed 1.01 player like 2018 did with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who was a unique talent who led to people selling their entire dynasty teams and possibly their firstborn child to draft him. That paid off, but this year doesn't feature someone you should go all […]

Mock Draft Recap - Early ADP Reaches/Busts/Fallers

The Rotoballer crew recently finished up an early mock draft. As with every draft, there are going to be instances of guys going too early or too late. This is all about those guys that we got a little too overzealous on when we grabbed them. You could have got them in the next round […]

The Grass Isn't Always Greener - Free Agents Fantasy Fallers

Every season we see several fantasy relevant players switch teams. With free agency occurring in March, the instant reaction is there, but it doesn't always hold. It is important to reanalyze those moves later in the offseason, particularly after the NFL Draft. Now that it is June, we have a much better idea of how […]

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 […]

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 […]

Notable UDFAs to Watch in Dynasty

Last year, no one was talking about Phillip Lindsay even as late as August. With Royce Freeman drafted by the Broncos and dominating a lot of the dynasty rookie draft discussion, Lindsay flew so under the radar that he went undrafted in our staff league's rookie draft. Lindsay went on to rush for 1,000 yards, […]

Josh Jacobs Back At Practice

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday after missing some time at organized team activities last week with a hamstring strain. The first-round pick saw a decent workload at practice on Tuesday. Jacobs has a prime opportunity to carve out a big role in his rookie season in his […]

Darren Waller Standing Out At OTAs

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has shown some playmaking ability at organized team activities while receiving plenty of first-team work with the offense. "So now that he has that position, it’s your position, you are the ‘Y’ in certain personnel groupings. We’re going to put you out there on the field and you’re going […]

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 […]

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 […]

Rookie Spotlight - David Montgomery

Heading into the 2019 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears were limited on the number of draft picks that they had. The team held three picks and while it didn't seem too likely that they would draft a running back, it has been apparent that is a position of need. While Tarik Cohen is an explosive […]

Baker Mayfield Madness - Top-Five Fantasy QB Already???

There has been so much buzz about the Cleveland Browns being the breakthrough team of 2019 this offseason. That is understandable, as the team won five of its final seven games and showed a lot of promise after a poor first half of the 2018 season. Adding Odell Beckham Jr. has only fueled more strong […]

Keelan Doss Impressing Head Coach

Oakland Raiders undrafted rookie wide receiver Keelan Doss has impressed head coach Jon Gruden so far in organized team activities.

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 […]
