Jonnu Smith Sidelined At OTAs
Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) didn't take part in organized team activities on Tuesday but got some work in off the jugs machine after practice. The 23-year-old tore his MCL last year and caught just 20 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games before his injury in 2018. As long […]

Late-Round Rookie WRs to Target in Dynasty Drafts
With the NFL Draft behind us, it's rookie draft season for dynasty owners. You probably have some good ideas of who you'll be taking early in those drafts, but what about in the later rounds?

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis (Quarterbacks)
We've finished our post-draft dynasty rankings here at RotoBaller, which means that it's time to look at those rankings by tier and discuss them. Youth rules the day in these rankings, with three of our top four quarterbacks entering their second or third seasons. But not every dynasty owner is planning for the future, so […]
Rookie Spotlight - Josh Jacobs
After our recent RotoBaller rookie dynasty draft, organizer and lead editor Pierre Camus asked us if we could conceivably select one position to pick from, where would it be? My answer was easy, although it sounded amateurish at first: Give me the first pick. Not because of the pomp and circumstance surrounding it. I want […]

Corey Davis' Chemistry With Marcus Mariota Improving
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis, the fifth overall pick in 2017, has developed a greater chemistry with quarterback Marcus Mariota. He had 65 catches for 891 yards and four touchdowns last season. “Me and Marcus, our chemistry is growing every day, and it’s continuing to grow,” Davis said. “Our job is to get open […]
Rookie Mock Draft Recap - What the Experts Were Thinking
Just after the NFL Draft finished up, we assembled our fantasy football dynasty writers for a rookie mock draft. This was a 10-team draft that went eight rounds (because we're fiends). League settings were PPR, single-QB, dynasty, rookies only. To see the full board in all its glory hosted by our friends at Sleeper, check […]
Rookie Tight Ends In The Best Fantasy Situations
The 2019 NFL draft is complete and it's time to start prepping for fantasy football. Today, we're talking about tight ends that could make an impact in the rookie season. The most difficult part of this will be figuring out which tight ends can avoid the rookie wall that most rookie tight ends seem to […]
Rookie Wide Receivers Set to Make a Splash in 2019
The 2019 NFL Draft saw 28 wide receivers find homes with NFL teams. A handful others were added as undrafted free agents. The influx of new talent into the league every year always has an effect on the players already there. It goes without saying that most of the rookie WRs will have no impact […]
Rookie Wide Receivers In The Best Fantasy Situations
Referring to the NFL Draft as “highly anticipated” does not fully describe the monumental level of hype and excitement that is infused into this annual event. The fascination that surrounded this year’s draft has now evolved into an unmistakable combination of excessive optimism and unbridled distress for the fan bases of all 32 franchises, while […]
Titans Add Position Of Need With A.J. Brown
The Tennessee Titans selected Mississippi wide receiver A.J. Brown with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Brown put up huge numbers at Ole Miss and often breaks tackles for nice gains after the catch. He's extremely athletic -- signed with the Padres out of high school -- and is very fast. […]
Dynasty Price Check - Marvin Jones
The next edition of Dynasty Price Check moves to Detroit. Kenny Golladay's stock keeps shooting up in dynasty leagues but what about lesser-hyped wideout Marvin Jones? A lost second half due to injury could provide a buy-low opportunity but a sluggish Lions offense may not inspire greater numbers than he has already produced in the […]
Titans Go With Jeffery Simmons At No. 19
The Tennessee Titans selected Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Simmons was found guilty of malicious mischief in 2016 in an incident that involved several women, which is why he fell in the first round this year. Off-field issues aside, Simmons is a good […]
Dynasty Price Check - Kenyan Drake
We continue our offseason series of dynasty price checks with a look at Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake. The Dolphins are a team in full rebuild mode but Drake could benefit from a new coaching regime and the departure of veteran Frank Gore, who ate into his snap count in 2018. We will start […]

Can You Trust Rookie Wide Receivers in Re-draft?
This upcoming NFL Draft feels like it's very heavy on wide receivers and light on running backs. For dynasty owners, that leads to a pretty simple result: draft the receivers at the top of your rookie draft. But in re-draft, there's long been this idea that rookie wide receivers aren't consistently useful in fantasy, that […]
Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (April 2019)
All of a sudden, the tight end has become cool in fantasy football. Maybe not all of them, but the position that used to be largely ignored until the middle rounds is now a priority for some. If you managed to nab one of the top three TEs last year, you had a clear advantage […]

No Timetable For Delanie Walker
Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) doesn't have a timetable for his return to full health. Walker had been a very reliable TE1 with the Titans before suffering a season-ending injury in Week 1 of last season. He had just four catches for 52 yards before his season came to an end. The 34-year-old […]
Marcus Mariota Adds Some Weight This Offseason
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota said he added five to 10 pounds of "good weight" this offseason. The 25-year-old signal-caller has never played a full season in his four years in the NFL, so hopefully the added weight can keep him on the field for the long haul. He had a career-low 2,528 yards passing, […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Tennessee Titans
After a late surge to make the playoffs in 2017, the 2018 season was a lost one for the Titans. The "franchise" quarterback, Marcus Mariota, had an extremely subpar year. He was constantly battling injuries and could only muster a finish as QB26 in fantasy (2,528 yards and 13 total TD). Even though he was […]
