Chris Godwin Is A WR1 In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is coming off a breakout season in 2019 where he finished as the second-best fantasy wideout. This was with Jameis Winston at quarterback, so the addition of Tom Brady is another plus for the receiver. Godwin and Mike Evans enter 2020 atop the Bucs WR depth chart, but […]

Mike Evans A Solid WR1 For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has only had 1,000-yard seasons in his NFL career, and the addition of quarterback Tom Brady only helps his value for 2020. With a stacked Tampa offense this season, Evans' role is still big enough for him to sustain his fantasy value. Despite their generally sturdy defense, the Saints […]

Rob Gronkowski A Low-End TE1 In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski should be considered a low-end TE1 for this week's matchup against the Saints. The talented tight end will be playing his first game since the 2018 Super Bowl, which was over one and a half years ago. Naturally, he may be shaking off some rust. Though it's a […]

Buccaneers Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 1

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense will face a stiff test in Week 1 against the division-rival Saints at the Superdome. Last year, the Bucs had a notoriously weak secondary, which many quarterbacks targeted. This season, the biggest concern on this defense is still in the secondary, as the team has young cornerbacks in Carlton Davis […]

Buccaneers Officially Sign Josh Rosen

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially signed former Dolphins and Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen to their practice squad on Tuesday. Rosen, a first-round pick out of UCLA, hasn't lived up to that billing with two different teams so far in his time in the NFL. It's highly unlikely that he'll see the field in 2019 behind […]

Coaching Matters: AFC South Play-Calling Impact on RB

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players. That includes means looking at things like game tape, the team's offensive line, or their primary play-callers historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad […]

Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Edmonds presents an enticing combination of talent and the opportunity to perform in an Arizona offense that places running backs in a position to thrive. He remains available in over 50%, of all leagues, due to the presence of Kenyan Drake, who begins the […]

Mitchell Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I truly believe Trubisky can bounce back and be at least a top-20 fantasy QB, if not a serviceable streamer. First, the Foles factor is vastly overblown. The guy had a great postseason run in Philly but has never succeeded elsewhere and was […]

Five Must-Have Mid-Round Draft Targets

In many cases championships are not won because of the picks made in the early rounds of fantasy football drafts. Instead, you can often find the fantasy players who’ll fuel your fantasy team’s engine in the middle rounds of your draft. You can typically find the burgeoning WR2s who are just about ready to blossom into […]

Late-Round Lottery Tickets and Breakout Candidates

The 2020 fantasy football draft season is finally upon us. One thing fantasy managers should be routinely doing is mock drafting to learn where the players they are targeting might go in their drafts. You can never mock draft too much. Another reason to mock draft is to learn which players are available at the […]

Late-Round Wide Receivers To Outperform ADP

Value. It is one of the essential ways to win a fantasy football championship. Maximizing late-round picks into productive players will be more important than ever in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic that is currently gripping the world. One of the best ways to capture fantasy value involves taking running backs early in your […]

Boom and Bust Draft Picks: Running Back Edition

Many fantasy football managers are familiar with the concept of “boom” and “bust” players by now. “Boom” guys are your overachievers. They are the guys from high school who were voted the most likely to clean porta-potties for a living, and yet they ended up becoming the most tenured Senator in Washington. In fantasy terms, these […]

Endgame Primer: Drafting For Late-Season Strength Of Schedule

It's never too early for fantasy managers to start thinking about the playoffs. Really. I know you might think you need to take the season one week at a time and all of that, which is true, but if you're reasonably confident that you're going to make the postseason, you need to be thinking about […]

This is the Season to Maximize #AllBenchRB!

Fantasy Bretheren, listen up.  There has never been a year that is more fitting for #AllBenchRB. Just ask @Raphstradamus and El Camello! These suckas each drafted six bench RBs in their league of record to shoot for fantasy gold. Actually I can’t support that last statement, but if you talk to them, tell them they […]

Michael Florio's Updated Draft Rankings vs Industry Consensus

Every single season there is a hunger for fantasy football rankings. Every single season people draft their entire fantasy football team off of a list of names ordered by their favorite analysts or site. And every year those people make the most common mistake when it comes to rankings! The mistake so many fantasy players […]

Frank Ammirante's Updated PPR Rankings vs. RotoBaller Consensus

We're right in the heart of draft season, so it's the perfect time to release my final PPR rankings. These are tiered rankings organized by position. My rankings prioritize upside and downgrade injury concerns. There are some players who I was previously high on, but was forced to downgrade due to injuries, such as Allen […]

Josh Rosen Will Join Buccaneers Practice Squad

Quarterback Josh Rosen signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as part of their practice squad on Sunday. The 2018 first-round pick was released by the Miami Dolphins on Saturday and will now head up the state for his third team after being drafted just a couple of years ago. Rosen was ultimately let go by […]

Pierre Camus's 2020 All-Sleeper Team

What's fantasy football draft season without sleepers? Don't worry, I won't waste your time with some convoluted explanation of what constitutes a sleeper. That's because these picks were created with specific guidelines I was given, so it removed some of the brainwork required and left more in the tank for me to elaborate on why […]

Justin Carter's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

It's time for my favorite piece to write every year -- my bold predictions for the upcoming NFL season. Last year's bold predictions went...okay. I hit on Leonard Fournette becoming a receiving threat and was basically correct on Josh Allen, who was almost a top-five fantasy quarterback. My Albert Wilson take, however, was something we […]

Mike Evans Has Contract Restructured

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had his contract restructured on Saturday to help the team create salary cap space to sign running back Leonard Fournette and kicker Ryan Succop, according to the Pewter Report. The restructuring created about $9.56 million in cap space. Evans signed a five-year, $82.5 million deal back in March of […]

Devine Ozigbo (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: The Jaguars backfield situation is getting more interesting by the day. As of a few days ago, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo didn't figure to have fantasy relevance in 2020, but he suddenly finds himself on the radar. First, the Jags made a shocking move by releasing […]

Julian Edelman (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~76 ANALYSIS: The last time I wrote about Julian Edelman, more than a month ago when New England was still penciling QB Jarrett Stidham as its starter, it made sense to be at least a little bit worried about Edelman's upside entering 2020. Tom Brady was no […]

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~158 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Elephant in the room alert - Patriots running backs can't be trusted. Now that we've addressed the obvious issue, let's understand that this New England team will be unlike any we've seen in this millenium because this will be the first time Tom Brady isn't there. […]

Marvin Jones Jr. (WR, DET) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~89 ANALYSIS: Can somebody explain Marvin Jones Jr.'s ADP to me? Simply put, it has me completely lost. Sure, Jones was a little bit bouncy last season from week to week, but even with that, the gap in ADP between Jones (~89) and Kenny Golladay (~25) is massive. […]
