RotoBaller's dynasty football staff got together recently to perform a mock draft before the NFL draft in order to get an idea of where player values lie.

Jimmy Graham to the Packers - Fantasy Spin
I have a lot of feelings about former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham moving to the Green Bay Packers and the cumulative effect of all these feelings is essentially just me sitting in a chair at a coffee shop with my hands above my shoulders because Graham's fit with the Packers is so tough to judge. […]
Ndamukong Suh To Visit With Titans
Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is set to visit with the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. Suh will likely go on more visits after this, and he could take his time to sign with a team. Suh doesn't rack up a ton of sacks, but he's a highly disruptive force on the interior and […]
Chad Henne To Meet With Titans, Chiefs
Free-agent quarterback Chad Henne is visiting the Tennessee Titans on Thursday and will travel to meet with the Kansas City Chiefs later on, according to a source. The 32-year-old Henne has attempted two passes in the last two years with the Jaguars. He'd strictly be a backup to either Marcus Mariota in Tennessee or Patrick […]
Dion Lewis to the Titans - Fantasy Spin
It is fair to say that the single most obvious offseason move was the Titans release of DeMarco Murray. As early as last summer, it was abundantly clear that the Titans were done with Murray after the 2017 season. Once Murray was released, nothing really changed for Derrick Henry because Henry's 2018 value was always […]
RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Rounds 4-6

Early 2018 Breakouts - Tight End
2018 could very well be “The Year of the Tight End.” The position in fantasy football is going to be as loaded with breakout candidates in 2018 as Starbucks is with espressos and acoustic music. While the position is top-heavy with Pro Bowl veterans like New England’s Rob Gronkowski, Carolina’s Greg Olsen and Kansas City’s […]
Trusting Rookie Wide Receivers in Redraft Leagues
If I had to list one mistake most commonly made by fantasy owners on draft day, it would be recency bias. We've seen it time and time again - owners overreacting to what happened the previous year even when it was so clearly an outlier. The QB boom of 2011. The rookie WR boom of 2014. […]
Early 2018 Breakouts - Running Back
As we slowly get closer to the 2018 NFL Draft, we are beginning to get an idea of where players are landing. There are plenty of question marks out there still between free agency and the 2018 NFL Draft, but there are definitely some places where the starting lineups are beginning to take shape. In […]

We continue with our early mock draft series into rounds three and four. If you missed the first couple of articles, you can read round one here and round two here.

This will cause us to adjust our perceptions regarding certain players, while also providing clarity concerning the roster composition of their teams. However, we have already witnessed some critical decisions being made during this initial phase of […]
Chris Johnson Interested In Return To Tennessee
Free-agent running back Chris Johnson indicated on Twitter that he would be open to a return to the Tennessee Titans. Formerly known as CJ2K during his time with the Titans from 2008 to 2013, Johnson played in just eight games with the Cardinals the last two years and put up a career-worst 2.5 yards per […]
Titans Cut Matt Cassel, Eric Weems
The Tennessee Titans are releasing quarterback Matt Cassel and wide receiver Eric Weems on Friday. Cassel made one start in place of Marcus Mariota last year, going 21-for-32 for 141 yards with a touchdown. Weems saw very limited offensive snaps and hauled in just one catch for five yards in 2017. He has a whopping […]
Derrick Henry Set Up For Big Role In 2018
With Tennessee Titans veteran running back DeMarco Murray a candidate to be released this offseason, Derrick Henry figures to be in line for a heavy workload in 2018. Henry led the team with 744 yards rushing and five touchdowns last season, and he also had 11 receptions for 136 yards and a TD. General manager […]
Year in Review: Snap Count Risers and Fallers from 2017
While many of you have already been expending time and energy planning your 2018 rosters, NFL front office personnel have also been operating behind the scenes, before the proverbial floodgates open in the form of their own roster-altering decisions. But for now, there is sufficient information to provide an initial forecast on which running backs should […]
Early 2018 Breakouts - Wide Receivers
As we slowly get closer to the 2018 NFL Draft, we are beginning to get an idea of where players are landing. There are plenty of question marks out there still between free agency and the 2018 NFL Draft, but there are definitely some places where the starting lineups are beginning to take shape. The […]
Dynasty Tight Ends - Football Rankings Analysis
The tight end position has always been one that can be a true difference-maker for a fantasy football team. It wasn’t too long ago that Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham were first round picks in redraft leagues, and nobody thought twice about it. While the rest of your team is streaming tight ends week in […]
Dynasty Wide Receivers - Football Rankings Analysis
Wide receivers have been prioritized by dynasty owners in recent years, as the movement toward running-back-by-committee and relatively short shelf-life of running backs has made them a more volatile commodity. Receivers can be productive well into their 30s and tend to be more consistent. After 2017, we may be seeing a shift back toward the […]
Extension Could Be Coming For Taylor Lewan
Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan is entering the final year of his deal and will play on a fifth-year option worth $9.34 million if a long-term deal isn't reached. Former NFL agent Joel Corry said the Titans "may have to set the market at offensive tackle" with a long-term deal for Lewan, who is […]
Way Too Early 2018 Running Back Depth Chart Projections
It may be February, but the fantasy football minds at RotoBaller are still hard at work and bringing you research for the 2018 NFL season. Preparation is key to any fantasy owner's continued success, so taking a preemptive look at how the running back depth charts will shape up come September can be extremely helpful. With […]
Titans Agree To Extension With Ryan Succop

He will make $8.25 million over the first two years of the deal. Succop ranked fifth in the NFL in […]
Dynasty Running Backs - Football Rankings Analysis
In dynasty leagues, running backs are always the most difficult position to gauge. They can be a great short-term investment, but can be a mind boggling issue when looking at their long-term value. The running back position is the most volatile due to injury and career length. Some of the best fantasy seasons from running […]
Dynasty Quarterbacks - Football Rankings Analysis
When looking at the quarterback position for dynasty leagues, just as the other positions, fantasy owners need to think about the construction of their roster. Are they in win-now mode and can saddle up with a veteran like Tom Brady or Drew Brees, or is the team building towards becoming a contender so it can […]
NFL Draft Sleepers - Braxton Berrios
This year's crop of wide receivers hasn't generated nearly as much enthusiasm as last year. In the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, three receivers were taken in the first 10 picks, followed by another three WR in the second round. In 2018, only two WR are projected to be first-rounders with a steep […]
Deep Dynasty Football Stashes for 2018
Stashing players in your dynasty leagues is one of the most fun, yet simultaneously frustrating aspects of dynasty league fantasy football.

Titans Offense Planning To Be More Aggressive
Under new Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur, the team's offense in 2018 under quarterback Marcus Mariota figures to be more aggressive downfield. LaFleur intends to tailor the offense to Mariota's abilities, which should include a heavy dose of play-action. He also excels using read-option or run-pass option plays where he can utilize his legs. […]
Biggest Risers and Fallers - Tight Ends
So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback , running back and wide receiver positions. This time we're looking at tight ends who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Tight end isn't the most glamorous position, especially in terms of fantasy numbers, but it's an essential part of the game nonetheless. If you […]
Tajae Sharpe Will Be Ready For Offseason Work
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (foot), who spent the 2017 season on Injured Reserve, is recovered enough to go through offseason work. In his rookie season in 2016, Sharpe caught 41 passes for 522 yards and two touchdowns, and he'll have a chance to compete with Taywan Taylor (mainly) for the third receiver spot […]
