Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 13
Most fantasy leagues are now heading into the final week of the regular season. Barring significant injuries, this is likely the last week you'll be able to find anyone worth using come playoff time. That's not to say there won't be more opportunities to round out your bench, but now is the time for that last... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 12
With the fantasy trade deadline looming, or in some leagues already passed, the waiver wire will soon be your only place to scoop up last minute fantasy pieces. Throw in the conclusion of bye weeks and most owners have their rosters set in stone. That being said, you should always be looking to round out your bench with... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 10
We have officially entered the home stretch of the fantasy regular season. As such, it is slim pickings on the waiver fire. Finding deep names for PPR leagues is no easy task in general, and it only gets harder and hard the later we get. Nevertheless, it's not like there's no one left at all.... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 9
Hopefully most of you sticking with this weekly piece are still alive in your fantasy standings. Even if you aren't you should be maintaining a competitive roster. Phoning it in only upsets competitive balance and besides, fantasy is supposed to be fun to play. No one likes losing, but we only get 13 guaranteed weeks... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 8
We have somehow managed to escape Week 7 without any significant injuries to top fantasy contributors. Yes, Carson Palmer and Jay Cutler were knocked out, but speaking purely from a fantasy perspective, this was as tame of a week as we could hope for. With that in mind, you'll notice some more repeat names than usual this week.... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 7
Although it doesn't quite factor into a column about PPR sleepers, we should take a moment to acknowledge the injury to Aaron Rodgers. A broken collarbone is likely to end his season. For the record, that's way more disappointing for real life NFL football than it is for fantasy. Seeing a superstar go down with... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 6
Kudos to anyone who still has anything that even remotely resembles a healthy, usable lineup through five weeks. This is one of the most sporadic, soul-crushing fantasy football seasons I've ever been a part of, and I'm sure most long-time veterans would agree. It's ugly out there. Just need to keep on truckin' through the mud.... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 5
Sunday's Week 4 slate was absolutely brutal for fantasy owners. It's obviously never fun to see any player in the NFL go down with a serious injury, but fantasy football ends up making the heartbreak that much worse. Not only that, but there have been way too many head-scratching moments this year, and Week 4 was no... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 4
Here's hoping that your fantasy squads are not only healthy but competitive after three weeks. Even if they aren't, there's plenty of time to turn things around. For those of you in deeper PPR leagues, consider the names you're about to see listed here. Each player listed is owned in less than 20% of Yahoo... Read More
Timeshares For Sale - Running Back Committees to Avoid
The running back by committee is the most dreaded situation in all of fantasy football. Having too many cooks in the kitchen, the nail in the coffin, the kiss of death, the ol' "stick a fork in it," whatever cliche you prefer. A RBBC can make a very talented running back irrelevant for fantasy purposes.... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 3
Week 2 of the NFL season was a physical therapist's dream. Or nightmare, I guess. Either way, the amount of players that were either legitimately injured or had a scare was hard to watch. Throw in some shocking duds from superstars like Ezekiel Elliott and Brandin Cooks, and Sunday's slate had more face-palms than anticipated.... Read More
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 2
Don't panic! It's only been one week, don't freak out about your lineups just yet. Unless you're one of the unfortunate folks who lost David Johnson or Allen Robinson, there is obviously a ton of time for your studs to perform. Having said that, it's always wise to keep your eye on some early pickups... Read More
Passing On Passers - A Case For Drafting Your QB1 Late
You hear it every year: wait, wait, wait, and wait some more on quarterback. It's arguably the most common fantasy strategy out there these days. The premise is simple; waiting on your QB1 allows you to soak up all of the stronger running backs and wide receivers, ending up with a late round passer who... Read More
2017 NFL Team Outlook - Pittsburgh Steelers
Not exactly a groundbreaking statement here, but the Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL. We’ve all heard about the trio of Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le’Veon Bell, but there are some additional moving parts to look into heading into the 2017 season. If anything, the offense as a... Read More
Kenny Britt (WR, CLE) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper
My original plan for this intro was going to be a game of "which of these things is not like the other." Then I quickly realized the answer would have been obvious considering the name Kenny Britt is in the title of the article. So let's try something else. Let's see if you can pick... Read More
Overvalued Running Backs and Potential Busts for 2017
Sleepers and busts, sleepers and busts. Go ahead and open Google and just type in either of those words without mentioning anything about football. One of the first few results will be directly related to fantasy. That's because that's what every owner obsesses over most. Who can I get as a steal? Who do I... Read More
Five Running Back Sleepers and Values for 2017 Drafts
Every fantasy owner and their grandmother has an opinion on who's a "sleeper." It's basically become more of a buzzword than an actual guideline at this point. Part of the problem with that is that everyone uses a different definition of what a "sleeper" even is. Is it someone you're willing to reach for? Someone you... Read More
Late-Round Lottery Tickets to Target in Fantasy Drafts
My dreams of playing in a mega-high stakes (jelly beans, of course) fantasy league were crushed when I didn't win the Powerball jackpot. My guess is you aren't that one lucky soul who won either so here you are slumming it with the rest of us. That's ok though, there's always the fantasy lottery. Besides,... Read More
RotoBaller PPR Mock Draft Recap - First Round Recap
With fantasy draft season in full swing, it's time to dive into another one of RotoBaller's mock drafts. It's interesting to see the differences in these results compared to our Way Too Early Mock Draft in March. The settings for our "Mock Draft 2.0" were pretty straight forward: 12 teams, PPR scoring, QB, RB, RB,... Read More

Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - Full NFC Rankings Part 2
The deeper you dive into the NFC, the tougher it gets to rank each team based on their wide receivers. Of all the entries in this series, part two of the NFC was certainly the toughest one to figure out. There's a whole lot of nitpicking going on here which speaks to the depth of... Read More
Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - Full NFC Rankings Part 1
With the AFC rankings behind us it's time to head on over to the NFC counterpart. It was actually kind of surprising to learn that the NFC was a little harder to rank than the AFC. A lot of that has to do with ebbs and flows in depth, weighing superstar prowess in the process. That's... Read More

Running Back Committees To Avoid In 2017
Running back committees are essentially the kiss of death for fantasy production. The unpredictability of who gets touches when is enough to drive an owner to a hair-pulling hissy fit. And that's just for the teams we can even identify as even having a committee in the first place. Considering that we haven't hit the preseason... Read More
Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - NFC West
At last we have reached the final division in our fantasy receiving corps series. I wish I could tell you we saved the most potent division for last, but that would be a lie. The NFC West may very well be the weakest division, not just based on wide receivers, but on overall talent. That being... Read More
Ranking The Top Fantasy Receiving Corps - AFC West
We're close to wrapping up the divisional portion of our fantasy receiver corps series. This week's piece will focus on the AFC West, a division home to a fairly large amount of fantasy options. You can go as far as saying that this is one of the deepest divisions overall, regardless of position. Even in simply... Read More
