Adrian Peterson Could Be Primary Back To Start Season
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has reached the point in his career at which there isn't much to be made of his limited involvement in preseason action. When his second-year teammate at the position has not been cleared for full contact with a little over three weeks till the regular season, however, there might […]
Redskins Playing It Safe With Derrius Guice
Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice has not played a preseason snap, as he has yet to be cleared for full contact. With the start of the NFL season three weeks away, there is still time for Guice to get on the field, but it's dwindling. The Redskins' third preseason game is in three days […]

Players to Prioritize in PPR but Fade in Standard Leagues
The fantasy industry continues to unveil nuances in the scoring settings of various formats. This provides a growing collection of possibilities that owners can include in their smorgasbord of league options in 2019. But as refinements in scoring and lineup composition continue, the prominent settings of PPR and Standard scoring will retain their high level of […]

August is here and that means preseason football and fantasy football draft season is upon us. We here at RotoBaller have compiled our fantasy football staff rankings for 2019 and it's time to look at our quarterbacks. We're in quite the era for passing thanks to the league's rules and current talent, yet most drafts still see […]
Is the Next Tom Brady Out There?
In what has been described as a lackluster rookie quarterback class, there is really not a lot of value beyond the top couple of picks in dynasty leagues. But we know there are always hidden gems and players that take us by surprise. Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins and maybe Daniel Jones will get plenty of starting time […]
Robert Davis Catches Long Touchdown Against Cleveland
Washington Redskins wide receiver Robert Davis saw only one target in his first preseason action of 2019, but he made it count, hauling in a 46-yard touchdown from Case Keenum. While that one catch would have resulted in a decent fantasy day all by itself during the regular season, it's far from an indication that […]
Darvin Kidsy Sees Seven Targets Against Browns
Washington Redskins wide receiver Darvin Kidsy hauled in five of his seven targets for 86 yards in Thursday's preseason game. If any team's wide receiver depth chart should be open for auditions, it's Washington's. Their most notable holdovers from 2018 are Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, neither of whom were able to produce consistently last […]
Byron Marshall Receives Five Carries On Thursday
Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall carried the ball five times on Thursday against the Browns, collecting 17 yards for his trouble. He was only slightly more effective than Samaje Perine, who is also vying for a reserve role in the Redskins backfield behind incumbent workhorse Adrian Peterson and second-year prospect Derrius Guice. Neither Peterson […]
Samaje Perine Ineffective In Preseason Opener
Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine received six carries in Thursday's preseason opener, turning his half dozen opportunities into an unimpressive 13 yards. The top of Washington's running back depth chart is all but spoken for, with Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson figuring to share the ground game early on while Chris Thompson maintains the […]
Case Keenum Throws Touchdown On Thursday
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed four passes on nine attempts for 60 yards and a touchdown against the Browns on Thursday night. Most of those yards were accounted for by a 46-yard touchdown when Keenum connected with Robert Davis in the first quarter. As is typically the case with early preseason action, we didn't […]
Dwayne Haskins Throws Two Picks In Preseason Opener
Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins completed eight of 14 pass attempts for 117 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against Cleveland. He added 17 rushing yards on two attempts, but he was also sacked twice and threw two interceptions. Haskins saw the most work of any Redskins quarterback, which is not surprising given his lack of […]
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 […]
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. […]
Terry McLaurin Draws Raves From Coaches, Teammates
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been receiving praise from both coaches and teammates for his consistent play so far during training camp. In addition to his speed, the rookie out of Ohio State has shown off good hands and solid work on special teams as well. He is trying to learn all three […]
Dwayne Haskins Sharp In Tuesday's Practice
Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins had two consecutive series to himself in practice on Tuesday. Beat writer Kareem Copeland says the first-year QB was accurate and decisive with his throws, hooking up with wideouts Paul Richardson Jr., Trey Quinn, Robert Davis and Jehu Chesson. "We'll see how he does in a game," head coach […]
Adrian Peterson Atop Unofficial Depth Chart
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson was listed as the number-one running back on the team's first unofficial depth chart. Behind him were passing-down back Chris Thompson and heir apparent to the Redskins backfield, Derrius Guice. Peterson has a couple things working in his favor in terms of earning the lion's share of volume early […]
ADP Showdown - Corey Davis vs Courtland Sutton
Two wide receivers who are considered number ones on their team, but what is this really worth? In the Case of Courtland Sutton, this could change based on the health of Emmanuel Sanders and the talent of Daesean Hamilton. However, in the case of both of the options in this article, a bigger worry is […]
How to Value 2019 QB/RB Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)
Dynasty franchises don't restart, they reload. Rookie drafts are meant to continually infuse youth to rosters and introduce the next generation of fantasy stars. Although this year wasn't rife with immediately impactful players at quarterback or running back, there is still value to be had if you know where to look. It's equally important for […]
How to Value 2019 WR/TE Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)
The dynasty world predictably revolves around youth. Often, draft picks are valued more than productive veteran players. For some, this is viewed as a practical way to build for the future. For others, it's just a matter of valuing talent and potential over all else. It's called Shiny New Toy syndrome. Regardless of the reason, […]
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 […]
Colt McCoy Tops First Unofficial Depth Chart
McCoy has the most experience of the group, so it's no real surprise to see him lead the group early on. Case Keenum follows as backup and Dwayne Haskins is listed as third string. It's still extremely early, but McCoy looks like the early favorite to get the job. His knowledge of this offense and […]
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. […]

Fantasy football season is just around the corner as teams are filing in for training camps. That means that preparations for drafts have to be taken up a notch.

Terry McLaurin Impressive Early In Camp
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been a standout performer through one week of training camp, according to Redskins.com. The Redskins have sorely lacked a legitimate number-one wide receiver for some time now, with the Josh Doctson experiment never having gotten off the launchpad. With McLaurin turning heads this early as a rookie, one […]
Case Keenum Practicing Primarily With First-String
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum finds himself in a competitive camp battle for the starting job, but he appears to be leading the pack. Keenum has been getting most of the first-team work as the Redskins prepare for their preseason opener next week, according to Rick Snider of the Washington Post. Assuming he holds serve […]
Derrius Guice Shows Pass-Catching Ability
Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice stood out in practice on Thursday with a couple of big plays in the receiving game, according to an NBCSports.com report. Both plays resulted in long gains, and one of them came with Guice motioning from the backfield into a receiver position prior to the snap. The report mentions […]
Trey Quinn Emerging As Slot Threat In Washington
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn caught all of nine passes in his 2018 rookie season. If his start to training camp is any indication, he will far surpass that total in 2019. Per a Redskins.com report, head coach Jay Gruden was quoted as saying Quinn has the slot position "pretty much locked down" after […]
Jordan Reed Rounding Into Form
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed has been uninhibited by injury in training camp for the first time in years, and it appears to be showing on the field. Per John Keim of ESPN.com, Reed says he is feeling "more explosive," and that his feet are feeling "way stronger than last year." Aside from being […]
