Washington’s Backfield Without Derrius Guice: Addition By Subtraction?
Less than a month ago, we took an in-depth fantasy look at the Washington Football Team's (otherwise known as the 'Washington No Names') backfield situation. Back then, Washington's RB unit looked to be a free-for-all brawl. The odds favored Derrius Guice getting a majority of the backfield’s early-down work. Adrian Peterson was set up to... Read More
Stop that Hype Train! - Stefon Diggs
Familiar wide receivers in new places are frequently risky to rely upon in fantasy. For every Randy Moss in New England permutation out there, there exists equally as many Randy Moss in Oakland permutations. One of the more noteworthy team swaps amidst wide receivers this year is of course Stefon Diggs, who will begin a... Read More
Antonio Gibson - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Upon being drafted in the third round of the 2020 draft, Washington immediately stated Antonio Gibson would be a running back for the team. After the release of Derrius Guice, this is not only the most likely scenario, it's an opportunity for Gibson to shine. Gibson was a wide receiver turned running back during his... Read More
Stop that Hype Train! Hayden Hurst
Hayden Hurst, the 25th overall pick of the 2018 draft, has yet to live up to his draft status. You can blame the foot fracture he suffered in his rookie season for this, or that the tight end position usually involves a longer learning curve, but whatever your viewpoint is of Hurst, ehe fact of...

Stop that Hype Train! Clyde Edwards-Helaire
In the last few years, rookie running backs have garnered a lot of attention in fantasy drafts. From Ezekiel Elliott in 2016 to Josh Jacobs last season, owners have increasingly looked toward the league’s newest faces as possible stars. This offseason, fantasy experts quickly set their sights on LSU product Clyde Edwards-Helaire to be this... Read More
Duke Johnson is the DJ to Own in Houston
There is an overwhelming sentiment echoed (particularly online) that Duke Johnson will never be a lead back. This is primarily due to him not received over 100 carries in a season since his rookie year and even then it was just 104. Credit to Duke Johnson, he has stayed healthy every season of his NFL...

The Perfect Pair: Turning Mid-Round QBs Into QB1 Value
Since 2015, I've been in a fantasy football league with a guy whose sole mission on draft day is to select Tom Brady. And when I say it is his sole mission, I do not mean he takes four or five backs and receivers and then grabs Brady a round early just to make sure... Read More
Running Back Stat Busts - Elusiveness Rating
A lot of elements go into making a running back desirable for fantasy football. Opportunity, a good offensive line, and a good offense are all key elements. However, something equally important is how elusive those running backs are, this includes breaking tackles and gaining yards after contact. Often players who have these traits fall into... Read More
Early ADP Variations: ESPN Overvalued/Undervalued
With the NFL season a little over a month away, we're going to be getting into the thick of redraft season in the coming weeks. The Rotoballer team is going to be looking at ADPs from around the industry, and I'm taking down the big folks over at ESPN. It's time to see who's getting... Read More
Running Back Stat Busts - Missed Tackles Forced
Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question a great way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of running backs, considering overall elusiveness is arguably the best way to determine how good (or bad) a player's performance was. And that's what this is all about. I will... Read More
The King's FFPC Pros vs. Joes Best Ball Slim Draft
At the end of July, I took on a major fantasy football test. I participated in the first of several Pros vs. Joes FFPC drafts. The Pros vs. Joes Challenge was founded over a decade ago by the Fantasy Football Players Championship and Darren Armani of FantasyMojo.com in an effort to have top fantasy experts... Read More
Competitive Receiving Corps to Avoid in 2020 Drafts
We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a wide receiver or tight end in a stacked offense (one featuring... Read More
Cheap-But-Good QB-WR Stacks in Redraft
When it comes to daily fantasy football, stacking players from the same team and offense on concrete weeks is a sound strategy. That is why elite DFS folks out there use that plan on a weekly basis. Data shows how around 80% of the best DFS results come from squads that stacked at least two... Read More
High-End Wide Receivers to Fade
There is nothing worse in fantasy football than drafting a bust. Especially if you feel really good about the player heading into the season and use an early-round pick on them. That is one of the easiest ways to ruin your season, which is why we all try so hard to identify the busts before... Read More
Top Five Backfields To Handcuff in Fantasy Drafts
One of the most crucial things a fantasy player can do is have the foresight to build a lineup that maximizes talent while also minimizing the risk of player injuries or holdouts. This process is even more important looking to the 2020 season with the added risk of COVID-19 sidelining players. My previous articles looked... Read More
Boom or Bust - Quarterback Predictions for 2020
Quarterbacks are frequently devalued in drafts compared to their running back and wide receiver peers, and for good reason. Despite being the highest-scoring position in fantasy football in most systems, many drafters will take multiple players at other positions before taking a quarterback. A large tier of serviceable yet interchangeable passers typically exists each year,... Read More
Give Corey Davis One More Chance
Tennessee Titans wide receiver, Corey Davis, is entering his fourth season in the NFL and already, many in the fantasy community are dumping their stock and refusing to buy at bottom-barrel prices. Davis is currently going off of the board in NFBC drafts around draft pick 200. Hardly anyone is reaching for him. Davis typically... Read More
RB Handcuffs to Target: AFC Edition
Continuing the theme of the offseason, we will be looking at the AFC teams this week to establish who the handcuffs to target are in your fantasy drafts. Again, a handcuff isn’t necessarily going to be someone that has stand-alone value (think David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen for the Bears). My last article looked at... Read More
Don't Count Out These Quarterback Sleepers
It's time to dig deep. In fact, it's time to dig deeper. Everybody knows who is a top-tier fantasy asset. Everybody has a clear picture of who to target in the middle rounds of their drafts. That is why you need to study the full roster of available players and look for low-valued bargains with huge... Read More
What to Expect from Washington's Backfield in 2020
The running back position in fantasy football is historically shallow. You traditionally have your five no-brainer top running backs worthy of a first-round pick, and another 10 or so guys deserving of a top-45 pick thanks to their situation/talent/history. After that, you have a lot of gray area. That gray area is where fantasy football... Read More

We will examine some of the biggest burning questions per team as you plan for your upcoming drafts. In this installment, we tackle some significant fantasy issues in the NFC East. There is an interesting... Read More
Target Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver
I don't know how many times I've written this during the past few weeks, but here we go again: no matter how good a pass-catcher is, if he's not targeted often he will have no way to rack up fantasy points. With opportunities come chances to score points. Without them, catches are literally out of... Read More

Don't Believe The Hype - Overdrafted Players in 2020
While the 2020-21 season still has some question marks due to the lingering effects of the Coronavirus, the hope is that it will be there. The season is right around the corner and drafts are heating up. With that in mind, you're seeing some players get drafted where they probably shouldn't. Guys are slipping too far,... Read More
Born to Run: Why You Should Go RB/RB in Rounds 1 and 2
The draft strategies we implement in our fantasy drafts can change from season to season. One year it will be advantageous to load up with wide receivers early in the draft and the following it’s best to draft heavy at running back. This is because the player pool is always changing. We always have a handful... Read More
Early Summer ADP Risers at Tight End
Ah, our old friend, ADP. Average Draft Position indicates the mean position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player in your team. A high ADP (that is, actually, a low-numbered ADP) means that a... Read More
Fantasy Power Rankings for NFL Teams (#11-20)
You may have already caught the first part of this series, looking at the bottom tier of NFL teams as far as fantasy relevance. Now we move on to the middle tier. As any experienced fantasy football enthusiast knows, evaluating individual players is only part of the equation when it comes to building a roster.... Read More
Navigating the Dalvin Cook Holdout
On June 9, 2020, Adam Schefter reported that Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook plans to holdout from training camp unless he receives a "reasonable" deal. Cook is a young, ascending running back in this league and while he's very important to the success of the Vikings, he doesn't have much leverage. Player holdouts are going... Read More
