Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanders had gotten a fair amount of targets the first two games with 14 but had a lowly 42.9% catch rate. In their latest romp, the Bills supported multiple fantasy assets but Sanders was the one who found the end zone twice. […]

Trade Them in Dynasty Before It's Too Late

Last week, I discussed players worth acquiring in dynasty leagues before their stock continued to rise. You can read that article here, as it's still relevant in the dynasty realm. This time, we'll do the opposite and examine a few players to consider moving on from before the rug is pulled from underneath you and […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 2 was ugly in the early slate with low-scoring games and QB injuries across the board. Things picked up through the afternoon but the typical surprises that make fantasy football so aggravating at times resurfaced. Touchdown vultures, mid-game injuries, and big-name duds (looking at you, Alvin Kamara) were all present. Nevertheless, we move on to […]

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In an extremely frustrating turn of events, Diontae Johnson injured his knee on the final play of the game in a nine-point loss. That meaningless play could lead to missed time for Johnson and an increased role for Washington, who was targeted just once […]

Arizona Cardinals (D/ST, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Red Birds are in the upper half of the rostered threshold but will likely be dropped in many leagues after giving up 33 points to Minnesota. That would be a mistake because they are about to take on Jacksonville, which is […]

Carolina Panthers (D/ST, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Throw out the fantasy numbers and make Carolina your first DST claim based on matchup alone. Thursday nights are known for low score totals (except last week) but it's already been established that Houston will be without Tyrod Taylor. That means rookie Davis Mills will […]

Las Vegas Raiders (D/ST, LV) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rare will be the time when the Raiders defense enters the fantasy consciousness but the proposition of facing Miami with backup QB Jacoby Brissett is one of those times. Brissett is a capable QB and won't throw a ton of interceptions but he has […]

Early-Season Dynasty Trade Targets

After one week of NFL action, the fantasy overreaction is already at a critical mass. Seasoned dynasty league managers have learned to take a patient, long-term approach to roster construction. Others are in the business of making knee-jerk reactions and filling their trade block with underperforming players from the results of a single game. We […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It felt good to enjoy a full Sunday of NFL action and follow every player on multiple fantasy teams. But now the work begins. Thankfully there weren't many serious injuries in Week 1 but there are always holes to fill or standouts you want to get a hold of before the competition. That's where this […]

Burning Questions for 2021 Fantasy Football

You have questions and that's only natural. Inquiring minds want to know what the upcoming football season has in store. There won't be as much uncertainty surrounding the 2021 NFL season as there was in 2020 but there are always questions burning in the back of our minds. Fantasy football is filled with even more […]

After the Draft: Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Experienced fantasy managers know that once the draft is over, the real work begins. Leagues are often won through the waiver wire, not the draft. It's never too early to start digging for gems that could pay off huge during the coming season. As we will do every week throughout the regular season, we present […]

Projecting RB Potential: Talent, Touches, Team Context

Running backs are the hardest position to project for fantasy football yet the most critical. A talented runner who has breakout potential may be hampered by a poor offensive system or limited touches. Conversely, a player who gets a high number of touches may not have the ability to take full advantage of the situation. […]

Must-Have Players for 2021 Fantasy Football

Winning in fantasy football requires just one simple strategy: pick the best players. Of course, we don't know who those players will be, otherwise it would be too easy. That's where extensive research and opportunistic drafting comes into play. Luckily, I've done the first part for you, the reader. The rest is up to you. […]

Dynasty Decisions - Injured Players to Target

Before Week 1 has kicked off, fantasy managers who drafted early are already having to blow a melancholy kiss goodbye to early draft picks like J.K. Dobbins and Travis Etienne. Painful though it may be, there is no choice but to click the Drop Player button and search for a suitable replacement. In the dynasty […]

All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football

You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]

Must-Have Wide Receivers for 2021 Fantasy Football

So many players, not enough roster spots. That's often the feeling you have after wrapping up a fantasy football draft when your must-have players didn't last until your pick or your favorite sleepers were left undrafted. The solution - join at least 10 leagues and you're almost guaranteed to get them all somewhere! For those […]

Must-Have Running Backs for 2021 Fantasy Football

If you're like me, that is, a bona fide fantasy football junkie who is consumed by this hobby, then you participate in more than one league. It's to the point where I've lost count but I know I'll check in each and every week to set lineups, make waiver claims, and do whatever it takes […]

Hall of Fantasy League (HOFL) Season Preview

The Hall of Fantasy League (HOFL) is a new way to follow fantasy football and support your hometown while having some skin in the game. There are 10 teams from major U.S. markets in the HOFL. Each franchise has a former professional player as Team Captain and well-known fantasy analyst(s) as General Manager. Our very […]

Qadree Ollison (RB, ATL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~230 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~249 ANALYSIS: New year, new backfield, new coach. Todd Gurley is gone and so is Julio Jones. The Falcons will establish a new identity on offense, especially in the running game with a void at running back. While Mike Davis is the presumptive favorite to start, it's doubtful he resembles a workhorse back. […]

Trey Sermon (RB, SF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~101 ANALYSIS: The best case for Sermon boils down to one name: Jeff Wilson Jr. He was an undrafted free agent out of North Texas who rarely played his first two seasons. Once the Niners were thin at running back late in the season, they threw Wilson out there and […]

All-Sleeper Team - 2021 Fantasy Football

Imagine if you had to draft a fantasy football team but could only pick players from the 10th round on. That's the exercise I undertook once again. Last year, I put forth my All-Sleeper Team based on a submission to an expert ranker platform and this will be a reprisal of that column updated for […]

Must-Have Players for Superflex Leagues

Draft season is in full swing and Week 1 of the NFL season keeps inching closer. At RotoBaller, we continue to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions, including breakdowns of the players who are at the top of our draft lists. I'm going through various positions and league types […]

Statcast Hitter Leaderboard - Second-Half xBA

As we revisit expected statistics such as xBA, it's only logical to focus on recent performance in the second half. In this week's column, I will evaluate the xBA leaderboard since the All-Star break, using 30 plate appearances as a minimum. Rather than run down the entire leaderboard, we'll skip over the obvious names and […]

NFL Preseason and Training Camp Fallers

The NFL preseason is rife with hyperbole. Countless players report in "the best shape of their career." Unheralded rookies "really stand out" in training camp without pads. Coaches talk up almost every player on the roster. While that's all good and well, there are also players who struggle with injuries, inconsistency, and competition. The red […]

FFPC Terminator League Best-Ball Strategy

Best-ball leagues continue to expand and grow in popularity. Numerous sites offer variations of the same formula but where else can you find the Terminator league? This format takes all the best ball scoring rules along with the draft-only/no waivers philosophy but adds a small element of weekly management. Intrigued yet? By the time you […]
