Jameis Winston Done After One Drive

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston started Friday's preseason game against the Steelers and led them for just one series. Winston looked poised and made good decisions in his limited snaps. He went five-for-six and threw for 40 yards and one touchdown. Most impressively, Winston evaded two defenders and rolled out with his eyes downfield to convert […]

RotoBaller Expert Mock Recap (Half-PPR)

Popular sleepers casually dismissed. No-name rookies selected in the latter stages. Drew Brees available in the 14th round. This must be an expert mock!

Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again

Players are supposed to make a leap in their second season, but the past few years have been littered with wide receivers who just...didn't. Kevin White. Devante Parker. Breshad Perriman. Corey Coleman. Josh Doctson. Laquon Treadwell. Without even looking past the first round, we've got a good list of disappointing football players. The 2018 wide […]

How Useful Are Expert Mocks? A Side-by-Side Comparison

There are a lot of expert mock drafts out there. They're useful because they give you a good idea of who people who write about fantasy football are targeting. But there are a LOT more people who play fantasy football who aren't writers, and the drafts you actually do this month are bound to look […]

Nick Mariano's 2019 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. […]

Vita Vea Leaves Practice, Will Go For MRI

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) left practice Tuesday due to a knee injury and he will go for an MRI on Friday. He suffered the injury during blocked drills, and the good news is that he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Last October it was feared […]

Lavonte David Undergoes Procedure On His Knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) had a procedure to address the torn meniscus on his left knee, head coach Bruce Arians said on Monday.

Spencer Aguiar's 2019 QB Projections and Rankings

I believe all leagues are different and understanding the rules and settings will always be the deciding factor, but an interesting dichotomy has taken place recently of when it is acceptable to draft your quarterback. I am of the mindset, like most people nowadays, that waiting is better, but are we beginning to reach a […]

Second Chance - Antonio Callaway

We have now advanced into August as our journey through the offseason nears its conclusion. Several developments during training camps have impacted the value for various players while preseason matchups will alter the fantasy landscape even further. Activities have also intensified for owners in redraft leagues, who are experiencing a massive surge in preparations for […]

Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR

Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]

Rookie Dynasty ADP Showdown: Hakeem Butler vs Andy Isabella

Jaguars Claim Donnie Ernsberger

The Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed tight end Donnie Ernsberger off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ernsberger appeared in two games for Tampa Bay last year and didn't record an offensive stat. He's likely just a camp body for the Jaguars, who made room for him on the roster by tight end Michael Colubiale. Ernsberger's […]

Stop Drafting TEs Early - Wait for Delanie Walker or Austin Hooper

There are three tight ends who you should probably draft early: Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle. All three are very good players who have huge roles in their team's offenses, and with the positional scarcity of the tight end position, grabbing those guys early makes a lot of sense. But the position really […]

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year

I like to stay flexible in my fantasy football draft preparations. I have a Plan A, of course, but there are always contingencies for when things inevitably take an unexpected turn on draft day. The one element of my planning process that I tend to stick to no matter what, however, is my preference to […]

Chris Godwin Expected To Take Most Snaps

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is expected to be on the field for most of Tampa Bay's snaps in 2019 according to new head coach Bruce Arians. Arians also said that he sees Godwin playing in a slot role similar to the one Larry Fitzgerald plays in Arizona. Arians has spent the offseason […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2019 - Wide Receivers (Part 2)

The fantasy football stock market for wide receivers has no offseason. There were so many wide receivers to talk about whose fantasy stock in dynasty leagues has either skyrocketed or plummeted this offseason that I had to split it into two columns. This is what happens in the pass-happy NFL these days. Whether it is […]

Ronald Jones II Has Added Muscle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II, a second-round bust in his rookie season in 2018, is up from 208 pounds last year to 221 pounds. “I’ve put on a lot of pounds of muscle,” Jones said. “I’ve been training with my guy, eating four or five meals a day, protein shakes right after […]

Bull Rush - Players Whose Target Share Will Increase

As anticipation continues to build for the onset of training camps, the reality of a rapidly approaching regular season has prompted a steady surge in momentum that will culminate when Week 1 matchups begin. This has propelled owners toward increased participation in Best Ball leagues, while roster alterations are continuing in Dynasty leagues, and redraft owners […]

Tampa Has High Hopes For Breshad Perriman

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman won't quite replace DeSean Jackson as the team's deep threat in 2019, but the Buccaneers are the "most excited about" Perriman among their offseason acquisitions. Perriman was a first-round bust for the Ravens and has a history of drops, but he looked good in the second half of […]

Bucs May Be In Play For Duke Johnson

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a team to watch as a potential destination for Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson if he is traded. Johnson wants to be traded, but the Browns continue to claim that they want him around, at least until Kareem Hunt is reinstated from his suspension halfway through the 2019 season. […]

Scratch-Off TIme - Unexciting Lotto Tickets that Could Pay Off

When you get into the latter stages of your draft, I know what you want to do. Don't lie to me. You want the young guys, you want rookies, you want super athletes. You want to take shots on the hype guys and "sleepers." That's all well and good, and you're not wrong to target […]

ADP Showdown - Jameis Winston vs Philip Rivers

You will be hard pressed to find two guys closer in ADP than Jameis Winston and Philip Rivers. As of the time of this writing, they are right next to each other at 10.07. If you are waiting on a QB (which you should be), the 10th round is a perfect time to grab one. […]

Late Round ADP Best-Ball Targets

We are still in the midst of a long NFL offseason, but it's prime time for MFL10s, BB10s, and other best-ball formats. Regardless of where you play, one important factor to winning is to find the best late-round players to plant a flag in. This means just as much in the long run of the season […]
