Running Back PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

If you have one of the top-three picks in a draft this season, consider yourself very fortunate. Those are enviable spots, where you get the unique opportunity to select one of the three very best superstar running backs. Once those guys are off the board, you progressively start to deal with more and more question […]

Mike Evans, Ronald Jones II Day-To-Day

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (quadriceps) and running back Ronald Jones II (knee) both missed practice on Monday, putting their availability for the preseason game on Friday against the Browns into question. Head coach Bruce Arians said the injuries are "nothing serious," and both players are day-to-day. Jones is expected to play Friday, […]

Tanner Hudson Putting Up Numbers Through Two Games

Buccaneers tight end Tanner Hudson has 177 yards and two touchdowns through two preseason games. He leads the team in both categories along with receptions thus far and has been a pleasant surprise. Hudson is not exactly fighting for starting snaps anytime soon but could play himself into a depth role on the Bucs' final […]

Dare Ogunbowale Sees First-Team Work Sunday

Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale saw first-team reps with Ronald Jones II (knee) out for the time being. The injury to Jones II is not seen as serious, but it is telling from Ogunbowale's recent workload that he is very likely to make the final 53-man roster as the third-string back. It would not be […]

Emanuel Hall Claimed by Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed wide receiver Emanuel Hall off of waivers earlier this week. Hall had been with the Bears earlier but could not make it through camp. The Buccaneers present a solid opportunity given their lack of depth beyond starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin along with Hall's fit in their new offense. […]

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Miami Dolphins are going through a lot of change heading into 2019. They released former quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Frank Gore, and head coach Adam Gase. They have also notably brought in two new quarterbacks in Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, and welcome a rookie head coach in Brian Flores. One thing that […]

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP

Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football neither. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are owners […]

Cameron Brate Catches One Pass Friday

Buccaneers veteran tight end Cameron Brate was not very involved in this game but did manage to haul in his lone target for eight yards. Brate is the forgotten man on the Bucs, particularly due to the emergence of the former first-round tight end, O.J. Howard. Brate is still a capable TE who would start […]

Dare Ogunbowale Gets 16 Touches Friday

Buccaneers rookie running back Dare Ogunbowale rushed the ball 13 times for 36 yards and caught three passes for 54 yards Friday against the Dolphins. This was the second week in a row that Ogunbowale saw heavy usage and that could bode well for his chances of making the final 53-man roster. In week one, […]

Matt Gay Outperforming Cairo Santos in Preseason

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are having a competition between kickers Matt Gay and Cairo Santos. Thus far, neither has missed a kick, however, Gay has been presented more field goal opportunities and has not disappointed yet. Gay has hit from 48 and 55 yards while Santos has just one for 23 yards. Gay's ability to […]

Buccaneers Defense Not a Fantasy Option in 2019

This is fairly obvious given how poor the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has been over the past few seasons, but it is still worth pointing out even with the Bucs additions throughout the offseason. They essentially replaced Gerald McCoy with Ndamukong Suh, Kwon Alexander with Devin White and upgraded their secondary with several mid-round defensive […]

Andre Ellington Fumbling Preseason Opportunities

Buccaneers running back Andre Ellington has carried the ball 10 times for just 24 yards and caught five passes for 20 yards throughout these past two preseason games. On top of disappointing yardage totals, he also fumbled away the ball on Friday against Miami. Ellington's disappointing showing thus far could play into whether he makes […]

Justin Watson Fairly Involved Throughout Preseason

Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson has seen seven and six targets through his first two preseason games. He totaled 37 yards on four catches week one and 22 yards on two catches in week two. Watson figures to replace Adam Humphries as the Buccaneers' slot receiver in 2019, but might not be as skilled as […]

Bruce Anderson Does Not Do Much With Four Touches Friday

Buccaneers rookie running back Bruce Anderson amassed three yards on three carries Friday and one catch that went for six yards. Anderson was a popular late-round dart throw in fantasy circles prior to the preseason but there has been hardly anything to work with through these first two games (one target and no other stats […]

Mike Evans Hardly Plays Against Dolphins

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was targeted just once Friday and ended the game without posting any stats. Evans did not dress for last week's preseason game but saw the field just a bit against Miami. He probably sees more than one drive next week given that the third week of preseason is historically the […]

O.J. Howard Only Targeted Twice Friday

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard was targeted twice and hauled in one catch for 16 yards Friday against the Dolphins. This was only the second game of the preseason which makes sense as to why he was not heavily involved ankle injury cut his 2018 short and the last thing Tampa wants is for him […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC North

My wife and I have started to watch Hard Knocks again, as is tradition along with writing these columns and bickering with my fantasy football league about rule changes that we don't need as much as would like to spar about for no reason other than we're all in our late 20's now and act […]

Offensive Line Rankings: Champs and Chumps

A key factor that is often overlooked in terms of fantasy success is the importance of solid offensive line play. Many of the players that you see inside the Top 10 at their respective positions have the luxury of playing with some of the top lines in the game. Here we point out that studying […]

Quarterback Tiered Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

August is here and that means preseason football and fantasy football draft season is upon us. We here at RotoBaller have compiled our fantasy football staff rankings for 2019 and it's time to look at our quarterbacks. We're in quite the era for passing thanks to the league's rules and current talent, yet most drafts still see […]

Justin Watson (WR, TB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Final Round In Deep Leagues Current ADP: Undrafted It was actually a toss-up for me in coming up with a deep sleeper wide receiver for Tampa Bay with Watson and teammate Scott Miller, but I ultimately settled on Watson as he's farther ahead right now and more likely to see meaningful snaps this […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC East

In 2018, after writing some uninspiring articles prompting me to wonder if I was producing anything of value or simply parroting the same advice that most of the fantasy internet had already trumpeted, I challenged myself. Not in any sort of meaningful way, like losing the excess weight or teaching myself coding or something like […]

Target Regression Candidates - Tight End

Fantasy Football Rule No. 271: A pass-catcher cannot catch passes unless he is targeted. The “target” was not a stat I remember fantasy football players worrying about in the 1990s or early 2000s, though. It was not a stat on a tight end’s line when you checked his numbers in the box score or on […]

Five Very Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers

Sleepers sleepers sleepers sleepers. With fantasy football season in full swing, I know you're already tired of the word "sleeper," especially when people will basically use the word for any player. "Yes, dude in my fantasy league, please tell me more about your big sleeper pick for this year, Saquon Barkley." Clearly, there's a need […]

Breshad Perriman Reels in Just One Catch Friday

Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman saw two targets on Friday but only caught one for 11 yards. His other target was a deep shot which sailed over his head and into the end-zone. Can't blame him for not bringing that in but it is disappointing that there were not more opportunities for him on Friday. […]

Blaine Gabbert Doesn't Do Anything Wrong Against Steelers

Buccaneers quarterback Blaine Gabbert was decent against the Steelers on Friday. He went six-for-eight and accumulated 50 passing yards while starting most of the first half. Gabbert is set as Jameis Winston's backup going into the 2019 season but presents no fantasy value even if he has to take over for any reason. The only […]

Peyton Barber Runs Strong on Friday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had a solid showing in his first taste of preseason action in 2019. Barber amassed 18 yards on just three carries and caught one pass for four yards. He started the game but split rushing duties with Ronald Jones II and will presumably continue to do so into the season […]

Ronald Jones II Shows Signs of Life Against Steelers

Buccaneers second-year running back Ronald Jones II looked spry against the Steelers defense. Although he did not break out for any big runs, his attempts were productive. Jones II showed some of that wiggle he used to have back in college and is reportedly in much better shape than last season. He finished the day […]

Chris Godwin Done After Touchdown

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin took over WR1 duties with Mike Evans sitting out Friday's preseason opener against the Steelers. Godwin caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a score. His touchdown catch was off of a bubble screen where he evaded would-be-tacklers on the perimeter on his way to the end-zone. His […]
