Dynasty Discounts - Cheap Veterans In Dynasty Drafts

Building a dynasty team is a lot like building literally any physical thing you can build. Whether we're talking about a house or a car or that model airplane that's been sitting in your garage for like 10 years now, you have the flashy parts that everyone sees and then the integral, invisible parts. No […]

Jordan Reed Impressive On Day 1 Of Training Camp

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed "stood out" on the first day of training camp, per a Redskins.com report. The report went on to note that Reed was not up to full speed at this time a year ago, so his full involvement from the outset of camp in 2019 should go a long way […]

Redskins Easing Derrius Guice Into Training Camp

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice took the field in full pads on Day 1 of training camp, but did not take on a full workload, per Redskins.com. Barring some unforeseen development, Guice's progress through training camp as he returns from a torn ACL is likely to be the biggest story line this preseason for […]

Case Keenum Sharing First-Team Reps To Start Camp

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum will split first-team reps with Dwayne Haskins and Colt McCoy in the early stages of training camp, per a Redskins.com report. Head coach Jay Gruden is prioritizing making sure all three get to test their mettle under similar circumstances, although it stands to reason the job is Keenum's to lose […]

Dwayne Haskins Splitting First-Team Reps With Keenum, McCoy

Washington Redskins training camp opened today, and the "big" story line from Day 1 is that their trio of quarterbacks will split first-team reps at the outset. Per a Redskins.com report, head coach Jay Gruden emphasized the importance of giving them "ample opportunity to succeed and show that they're the starter." For rookie Dwayne Haskins […]

Derrius Guice Cleared For Training Camp

After an ACL tear ended his rookie year before it began and a hamstring injury originally put his status for training camp in jeopardy, people were understandably down on Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice. But head coach Jay Gruden says that Guice is fully ready for training camp and won't be limited, putting him […]

Committee Running Backs Worth Drafting

Want to see me say some dirty words on this website? Alright, here we go: Running. Back. Committee. Please don't go report me to my editors! I'm sorry! But while we're here and we're talking about all these dirty things, let's talk about running back committees. Are they good for fantasy owners? Nah. Are they a […]

What Does Tyreek Hill's Return Mean for the Chiefs?

What does Tyreek Hill mean to the Kansas City offense? Well, everything. Not only did he lead the team’s receivers in targets with 137 but he also led them with 87 receptions, 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns. These stats not only made him the number one receiver on his own team but made him the WR1 […]

Dwayne Haskins in Good Graces of Redskins Coaching Staff

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins will have to prove himself in training camp in order to earn the Week 1 start over Case Keenum, but his coaches like what they've seen so far. Per Kyle Melnick of Redskins.com, offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell has been impressed with Haskins's work ethic. O'Connell is used to the […]

Running Back Committees to Avoid in 2019

The list of running back committees seemingly grows larger every year. As more NFL teams embrace analytics and the modern game, they understand the replaceability of running backs. With fewer teams rostering a truly elite three-down back, a greater number of them deploy multiple backs, each bringing something different to the table. As someone who […]

Alex Smith Making Progress

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg) is no longer wearing an external fixator on his surgically repaired right leg. He credited the fixator with allowing him "to heal and walk again." Although Smith is unlikely to play in 2019 or perhaps ever again in the NFL, this is a step in the right direction and […]

The King's Scott Fish Bowl Draft Review

For many years, professionals in the Fantasy Football industry attempted to create a Gold Standard of leagues, one that would be looked on as the premier experts competition in the country. For those who follow fantasy baseball, the annual Tout Wars drafts are considered the most prestigious experts' leagues in the business. Yet until recently, […]

Derrius Guice Suffers Hamstring Injury

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice has suffered a hamstring injury and will likely miss the start of training camp. Guice missed all of last season with an ACL injury, so another setback for the former second round pick isn't good news. If healthy, Guice projects to be the lead back of Washington's committee, but […]

Scratch-Off TIme - Unexciting Lotto Tickets that Could Pay Off

When you get into the latter stages of your draft, I know what you want to do. Don't lie to me. You want the young guys, you want rookies, you want super athletes. You want to take shots on the hype guys and "sleepers." That's all well and good, and you're not wrong to target […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Eric Ebron vs Irv Smith Jr.

Trying to make decisions in a dynasty startup draft can feel like a lifetime commitment as you're picking a player who'll hopefully be sitting on your roster for years to come. One strategy is to identify some hyped up players, then identify a similar player who's going at a slightly later ADP to draft instead. […]

ADP Showdown - Derrius Guice vs Rashaad Penny

Typically, there are two types of RB2's fantasy players will target in their draft: a known, or an unknown quantity. A known would be somebody like Marlon Mack. While Mack has a path to being an RB1, it's much more likely that he settles in as a stellar RB2. They're high-floor guys who usually don't […]

Bryce Love Unlikely To Be Ready For Start Of Season

Washington Redskins rookie running back Bryce Love (knee) isn't expected to be ready to play at the start of the NFL season. Love put up decent numbers at Stanford after replacing Christian McCaffrey, but he never lived up to some of the early hype about his college career, and he enters the NFL in an […]

Who Is the No. 1 Overall Pick in Fantasy Football for 2019?

Let’s get this out of the way early, about two months before a lot of people even have their drafts. Even the most fair-weather fantasy football owner or someone who does not actually play the game may ask this question. If they hear you talking about fantasy football, they might simply ask you this if […]

Born to Run - A Case for Going RB/RB to Start Your Draft

Zero RB discussion seems to rear its head every season. It can be an effective strategy, depending on when you are picking in your draft. However, there is another school of thought and that is Zero WR. While going into any draft with a pre-ordained strategy will lead to mistakes being made in your draft, […]

Early Best-Ball ADP Sleepers

In the late rounds of your 2019 best-ball drafts, you'll want to target a handful of players with high upside. Since you don't have to worry about setting your lineup each week, you can target guys that don't necessarily produce on a regular basis. You can target players that will have a few games throughout […]

The King's One-Man Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

We are very used to seeing seasonal one-man mock drafts, which have now been around since the early part of the century. I cannot officially claim to have invented the exercise, but I do not recall anyone else of prominence in our industry issuing them at the time when I published my first one around […]

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Goes After Kyler Murray in Dynasty Drafts?

Asking the question "which first-year quarterback should go first in rookie drafts" is, basically, a bad question. You don't need to read a 1000 word piece from me about why to pick Kyler Murray over the other quarterbacks in this class. No way. Kyler should be the first quarterback off the board in 100 percent […]

Mock Draft Recap - Early ADP Reaches/Busts/Fallers

The Rotoballer crew recently finished up an early mock draft. As with every draft, there are going to be instances of guys going too early or too late. This is all about those guys that we got a little too overzealous on when we grabbed them. You could have got them in the next round […]

Who's #1 in Redraft Leagues?

You want the first overall pick in your draft. Even if you think you don't, you do. Historical data supports that the higher you pick, the more likely you are to win. Sometimes, having the first overall pick makes things easy. In 2017, David Johnson was the obvious top pick. In 2015 and 2013, it […]

Samaje Perine Impressing This Spring

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that running back Samaje Perine has been the most impressive back in spring practices. The 23-year-old was active for only five games in 2018 and had eight rushing attempts after running the ball 175 times for 603 yards and a score in his rookie season. Ball-security issues have […]

Trent Williams Wants Trade Or Release

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams said he doesn't have financial issues with the team at all, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation.
