Rookie Mock Draft Reaction - RotoBaller and Friends

It's dynasty football season, but then again, when isn't it? Rookie drafts have already begun in some leagues, while others are still getting ready for the biggest day of the offseason. We recently gathered some writers and fantasy football experts from RotoBaller, PlayerProfiler, Football Diehards, FFD260, and more, to conduct a mock rookie draft for […]

Dynasty Team Analysis - San Francisco 49ers

After an embarrassing 2016 regular season resulted in a 2-14 record, the 49ers performed a complete overhaul. New General Manager John Lynch and first-time head coach Kyle Shanahan were chosen to resurrect the fortunes of a franchise that had descended into a chasm, and proceeded to build a roster that recovered from an 0-9 start […]

Vincent Jackson Happily Retired

Free-agent wide receiver Vincent Jackson is "very happily retired," according to one of his representatives. He will finish his career with 9,080 receiving yards and 57 touchdowns with the Chargers and Buccaneers. V-Jax finished with just 15 catches for 173 yards and no touchdowns in five games in 2016 with Tampa, but he posted six […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2018 – Tight Ends

It is never too early to check out the fantasy football stock market, especially in dynasty leagues. The tight end position is locked and loaded with more firepower than the Avengers had against Thanos. You have veterans with 1,000-yard years littered all over their football cards and young phenoms with the potential to post fantastic […]

Chris Godwin May Have Earned Starting Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monkey continues to praise wide receiver Chris Godwin and thinks he's earned the right to be a starter in 2018. The 22-year-old showed well in his rookie season, catching 34 passes for 525 yards and one touchdown, but he's behind Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson in three-wide sets, so […]

Peyton Barber, Ronald Jones Expected To Share The Load

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, who finished strong last season, is expected to share the workload with rookie Ronald Jones in 2018. Jones, who was selected in the second round out of USC, has big-play potential and could surpass Barber eventually depending on how quickly he gains the trust of the coaching staff. […]

WR Rookie Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

This year’s wide receiver class was not supposed to be anything special. A couple of elite guys and maybe a few good players who could become starters, but they were overshadowed by the running backs. After the draft though, I am excited to see how this class performs in 2018 and beyond. A lot of […]

Dynasty Rookie Rankings Update (Post-NFL Draft Edition)

Boy, the draft can seriously turn things on its head. Pretty much the only thing that stayed steady from the pre-draft process was that Saquon Barkley is the 1.01. And while there were some near-perfect landing spots, many intriguing rookies landed in non-ideal locations and the late second round has lost some of its shine. […]

Rookie IDPs in the Best Fantasy Situations

While it may seem complex, adding individual defensive players (IDPs) to your fantasy league can be a fun way to spice up the overall level of competition! While the core nucleus of our fantasy lineups will always be on the offensive side of the ball, a strong defensive crew can be a difference-maker on any […]

Rookie TEs in the Best Fantasy Positions

Rookie tight ends are notoriously hard to project because so much goes into the position. Players have to be able to show NFL-level blocking and receiving abilities if they want to see the field early. While some succeed early, others take far longer. Last year was one of the most highly-rated tight end classes in […]

O.J. Howard Says He's Ready To Go

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (ankle), who finished his rookie year on Injured Reserve, said he is a full go for offseason workouts. Howard came on strong in the second half of the season but finished with just 26 catches for 432 yards and six touchdowns. The presence of Cameron Brate in Tampa […]

Rookie RB Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

We spent all off-season trading for top first round picks and hyping this running back class. Most felt it was just as good, if not better than the 2017 class. The draft came and went however and I couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed by landing spots for a majority of guys. A lot of rookie […]

Rookie RBs in Best Fantasy Situations

Yes folks, it's that time of the year again. The NFL Draft has concluded and a new batch of rookie skill position players are ready to light up the fantasy community in the upcoming season. Although there are likely going to be a number of eventually underwhelming players (as it so happens every year), rookies […]

NFL Draft 2018 - Second and Third Round Reaction

The second and third rounds of the NFL draft proved to be loaded with potential fantasy assets as we saw five running backs, six wide receivers, two tight ends and one quarterback go off the board. If a player doesn't get drafted in one of the first three rounds, their chances of a successful NFL […]

Ronald Jones Goes To Tampa Early In Second Round

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected USC running back Ronald Jones with the No. 38 overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Jones was also a track star in college, and he has big-play ability at the next level. He produced excellent numbers behind an average offensive line, but he'll need to improve on […]

Buccaneers Select Vita Vea At No. 12 Overall

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Washington defensive tackle Vita Vea at No. 12 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Vea will combine with Gerald McCoy on the defensive line in Tampa to help seriously upgrade their pass rush and run defense. Vea has tremendous speed and power on the line and is able to shoot […]

Buccaneers Re-Sign Charles Sims

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing running back Charles Sims to a one-year deal Thursday. Sims ran just 21 times for 95 yards and no touchdowns in 2017, but he also added 35 receptions for 249 yards and a score. He's merely running back depth behind Jacquizz Rodgers and Peyton Barber in Tampa, and the […]

Kyle Richardson's Final Mock NFL Draft - Part One

It is finally NFL Draft week! I don’t know about you, but I am ready for this draft to be over. Question after question about where rookies will land and who will be the next Alvin Kamara or Myles Garrett. We can finally put a portion of that to bed with where each rookie will […]

Dynasty Team Analysis - Washington Redskins

Here at RotoBaller, we are examining all 32 teams in our offseason Dynasty Team outlook series. We will discuss every franchise leading up to the NFL Draft, then review them again after the conclusion of free agency and the draft. Including which players you should trust, and which players should you avoid. We will also […]

Jameis Winston, DeSean Jackson Working On Chemistry

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and wide receiver DeSean Jackson have been working on improving the chemistry of their deep ball this offseason after head coach Dirk Koetter made it a point to highlight all the times Winston and Jackson failed to hook up on open deep throws in 2017. "Me and DeSean, we […]

Bucs Pick Up Jameis Winston's Fifth-Year Option

The Tampa Buccaneers picked up quarterback Jameis Winston's fifth-year option of $20.922 million on Tuesday. The option is guaranteed against injury. The first overall pick in 2015, Winston has been inconsistent and turnover-prone in his three years with the Bucs. He played in 13 games in 2017, completing a career-high 63.8 percent of his passes […]

Adam Humphries Signs Tender Offer

Tampa Bay Buccaneers restricted free-agent wide receiver Adam Humphries signed his one-year tender offer on Monday to remain with the team. Humphries had a career-high 61 catches for 631 yards and one touchdown in 2017, and he's expected to compete with Chris Godwin for slot duties in 2018. Humphries could become relevant in deeper leagues […]

Demar Dotson Had Surgery On Knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers right tackle Demar Dotson (knee) had surgery last week to fix a torn meniscus in his knee, according to sources. He will miss organized team activities and minicamp, but the thought is that he'll be good to go for training camp this summer. Dotson went on Injured Reserve late last year with […]

2018 NFL Draft - Ideal Landing Spots for Fantasy Football

With the NFL Draft just a few weeks away, it's anybody's guess where the top skill position prospects will land come draft day. With all of the news reports and smokescreens sent out by teams, it is virtually impossible to decipher the true motives of the majority of the franchises going into the draft. While […]

Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers: QB

Think of the Dallas Cowboys from the 1990s. Does Troy Aikman immediately come to mind? How about the 49ers of the 1980s - let me guess, you thought of Joe Montana fairly early into the recollection? Pittsburgh dominated the 1970s, and while the "Steel Curtain" moniker refers to their stifling defense, they also happened to […]

Brandin Cooks Heads to the L.A. Rams - Fantasy Spin

The Patriots shocked many earlier this week by shipping Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams. The Patriots acquired Cooks from New Orleans for a first round pick in 2017, and shipped him out for a similar price just one season later, essentially making him a rental. The resulting domino effect will have a great […]

MFL10 Late-Round ADP Values and Sleepers

For degenerates like me, fantasy football never ends. Sure, there's always dynasty to keep you busy all year, but my heart now belongs to best-ball leagues. If you aren't familiar with a best-ball league, check out our general strategy article for a thorough overview. Once you've looked that over, come back and check out my […]

Peyton Barber Is The Starter In Tampa

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said running back Peyton Barber is the current starter, and they have "high" confidence in him. However, things could change, and they did target a free-agent running back. The Bucs are also fully expected to address the backfield early in the draft in what is a good class. […]

Early 2018 MFL10 Strategies

We have progressed beyond the initial phase of free agency, which has modified the outlooks for many prominent players. Soon, the highly-anticipated NFL Draft will transform the fantasy landscape even further. But even though a number of factors could alter the current projections that we have built for various players, that has not discouraged many […]
