Week 1 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

If you've spent the last 24 hours crying your eyes out because you passed on Kareem Hunt, benched Mike Gillislee, or paid up for Gronk, you're not alone my friend. The obvious almost never happens in fantasy football, which of course is what makes it so exciting (and frustrating). I will admit I own no […]

Half-PPR Rankings Analysis – Tight Ends

You know the fantasy football season is right around the corner when the first starting quarterback tears an ACL and the first top tailback gets suspended for off-the-field fiascos. Tight ends are not as valuable as quarterbacks, running backs and receivers in fantasy football, but the points they provide, especially in half-PPR leagues, can propel […]

Fooled me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Running Backs Set to Bust Again

There were some really strong performances by rookie running backs in 2016. Ezekiel Elliott was a top pick and performed up to--if not better than--expectations. Jordan Howard came out of nowhere to establish himself as a fantasy stud, someone who is getting drafted very high this season. There was...you know, actually there wasn't much happening […]

Half-PPR Running Back Rankings Analysis

Playing in half-point per reception leagues are one of the more difficult things to do in fantasy. Owners need to weight which players not only will catch passes, but also have touchdown upside as well. Running backs that catch more passes should certainly have increased value over backs that are strictly running the football on […]

2017 Rankings Analysis - Quarterback

Hey Rotoballers! The start of the NFL season is right around the corner at this point. With several drafts likely scheduled for Labor Day weekend, or even next week leading up to next Thursday's New England Patriots-Kansas City Chiefs opener, the rankers here at Rotoballer have made some final tweaks to their rankings. That said, […]

2017 NFL Rookies - Dynasty/Keeper Rankings

Rookies are one of the most important parts of dynasty leagues, as they can make or break the future of your team. Generally, there are only a few rookies that have immediate success. There are also rookies that will need a couple years to make an impact in the NFL. In this article, I will […]

The Running Back Handcuff Hedge - Who To Handcuff

We have learned over time that the running back position is without question the most volatile in fantasy football. This understanding is based upon the percentage of injuries versus the other skilled positions, NFL teams increasingly using split back committees, and also takes into account weekly fantasy scoring consistency. Along with this natural order of chaos, […]

2017 Running Back Depth Chart Analysis

Running backs are important--you can't win a fantasy league if you don't get at least solid production from the position. But with the increased usage of committees and the high risk of injuries at the position, picking out who to own from a team can feel like a crapshoot. Quality running backs tend to come […]

Late-Round Wide Receivers - ADP Draft Values

Rishard Matthews (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: It seems to me that we’re assuming a lot in disrespecting Matthews the way we, the fantasy community as a collective have disrespected him this draft season, drafting him behind both of his teammates, themselves new arrivals to Tennessee. Like Hogan, Matthews is a guy who made hay on […]

Eric Decker (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~75 CURRENT ADP: ~95 ANALYSIS: Decker had managed at least 900 yards in four consecutive seasons before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 3 of 2016. He has caught a touchdown in 14 of his last 18 games played since the start of the 2015 season, and all of those scores came […]

Sleeper Defenses for the 2017 Fantasy Football Season

It is exceedingly difficult to predict how defenses will fare over the course of the season. In 2016, half of the preseason top 12 fantasy defenses failed to finish top-12. Some of them didn't even come close. Others that were ranked highly barely stayed in the group. There are very few defenses that I consider […]
