Tyler Lockett To Move Around This Year
Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said that wide receiver Tyler Lockett will be moved around a lot this year. With Doug Baldwin retired, the 26-year-old will be Seattle's unquestioned No. 1 wideout in 2019. That'll give him the chance to top his career highs across the board last year in receptions (57), yards (965) […]
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.

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 […]
Rookie Spotlight - Juwann Winfree
Denver Broncos GM John Elway certainly doesn’t have the best history of trading up in drafts to get his guy. Just take one look at the now infamous 26th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, where Elway and the Broncos traded up to take the Seahawks’ pick, only to use it on quarterback Paxton […]

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, […]
Rookie Spotlight - Mecole Hardman
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman is, perhaps, the most difficult rookie receiver to value right now, because his immediate fantasy potential is almost entirely dependent on whether or not the NFL suspends Tyreek Hill and, if they do, on how long that suspension is. Hardman is an interesting prospect, a speedster who […]
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 […]
Late-Round Rookie RBs to Target in Dynasty Drafts
The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and the preparation for your fantasy football league’s upcoming season should be starting now, not in late August. In standard year-to-year fantasy leagues or keeper leagues where you can only hold onto a minimal amount of players, you are not going to find many late-round rookie running backs on […]

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 […]
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 […]
Jaron Brown Working With First Team
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown was working with the first team in organized team activities alongside Tyler Lockett, with rookie D.K. Metcalf mostly with the second-team offense. Metcalf also tried his hand returning some punts, but he didn't look so good. The 29-year-old Brown had 14 receptions for 166 yards and a career-high five […]
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 […]

Amara Darboh Impressing Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has been impressed with wide receiver Amara Darboh at organized team activities. "Darboh looks great. He's back in the fold now, so he goes right back into the competition of it," Carroll said. Darboh, a 2017 third-round pick, didn't play at all last year due to a knee injury. […]
Ezekiel Ansah Could Be Ready For Week 1
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said there's a chance that defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) is ready for Week 1, but they won't know for sure until training camp begins. Ansah has always had plenty of pass-rushing potential, but he was never able to capitalize on it in Detroit due to various injuries. The […]
Chris Carson Has Work Done On Knee
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (knee) "had a little work done" on his knee, but he should be back in a couple of weeks. Carson has had injury issues before, so this one is worth watching as we get further into the summer. The 24-year-old, a seventh-round pick […]
Bobby Wagner Wants To Be Highest Paid Linebacker
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner is aiming to become the league's highest paid linebacker. Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley will make $17 million a year on his new deal.

Rookie Spotlight - J.J. Arcega-Whiteside
With the 57th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Stanford wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to give quarterback Carson Wentz another big-bodied weapon to boost their offense. Whiteside wasn't the top prospect in this year's class, but he gives the offense the ability to improve their offensive efficiency in the red zone. […]

Seahawks Release Doug Baldwin
The Seattle Seahawks released wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) on Thursday with a failed-physical designation. Baldwin dealt with a myriad of injuries during the past year, resulting in him undergoing three separate surgeries during the offseason. Most notably, Baldwin dealt with a knee issue that dogged him throughout the 2018 season. Rumors of Baldwin's potential retirement […]
