Wide Receiver Breakouts You Haven't Noticed Yet
Travis Fulgham, Chase Claypool, Justin Jefferson...these are guys who everyone is talking about, breakout players who have ascended the ranks at wide receiver in 2020. But there are also players who are breaking out below the surface, guys who might not have stolen the fantasy world's attention but who are currently on the way up.... Read More
Beginner's Luck? Chase Claypool, Travis Fulgham, Other WR Breakouts
It sometimes takes rookie wide receivers a season or two to reach their full potential. Davante Adams averaged 465 receiving yards in his first two NFL seasons. Michael Irvin had a total of 78 receptions in his first three NFL seasons. The 2014 season was a special one for rookie WRs. Mike Evans, Odell Beckham... Read More
Can James Robinson Be the Next Phillip Lindsay?
When Leonard Fournette was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars, there was a lot of speculation about whether Ryquell Armstead, the second-year back from Temple, would be elevated to the starting position on a run-heavy offense. However, Armstead is still battling with COVID-19 and is not ready for game action, so the Jaguars' first depth chart... Read More
Why Noah Fant Will Be This Year's Breakout Tight End
Every year in fantasy football, the tight end position is, for lack of a better word, mediocre. There are a few stars at the top and then a group of indistinguishable players in the middle. Sometimes though, there is one who waded through the muck and rises to the top of the heap. Last season,... Read More
Five Must-Have Mid-Round Draft Targets
In many cases championships are not won because of the picks made in the early rounds of fantasy football drafts. Instead, you can often find the fantasy players who’ll fuel your fantasy team’s engine in the middle rounds of your draft. You can typically find the burgeoning WR2s who are just about ready to blossom into... Read More
Late-Round Lottery Tickets and Breakout Candidates
The 2020 fantasy football draft season is finally upon us. One thing fantasy managers should be routinely doing is mock drafting to learn where the players they are targeting might go in their drafts. You can never mock draft too much. Another reason to mock draft is to learn which players are available at the... Read More
Pierre Camus's 2020 All-Sleeper Team
What's fantasy football draft season without sleepers? Don't worry, I won't waste your time with some convoluted explanation of what constitutes a sleeper. That's because these picks were created with specific guidelines I was given, so it removed some of the brainwork required and left more in the tank for me to elaborate on why... Read More
Justin Carter's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football
It's time for my favorite piece to write every year -- my bold predictions for the upcoming NFL season. Last year's bold predictions went...okay. I hit on Leonard Fournette becoming a receiving threat and was basically correct on Josh Allen, who was almost a top-five fantasy quarterback. My Albert Wilson take, however, was something we...

Hayden Epinette’s Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football
With a strange set of circumstances surrounding this NFL season, there may be far more unexpected breakouts and stunning disappointments than ever before. This could be the golden age of bold predictions, as many surprising claims could become a reality. On the other hand, it could be unpredictable in the opposite direction, with the consensus...

The Incendiary Sophomore Ready To Explode: Mecole Hardman
Finding the next breakout player in fantasy football is not always an easy task. If it were, we would all be winning more championships. However, sometimes a player jumps off the screen and the analytics jump off the page, making it a little easier. Kansas City Chiefs sophomore wide receiver Mecole Hardman is such a player....

Pierre Camus' Bold Predictions - 2020 Fantasy Football
This marks the fifth installment of my bold predictions for RotoBaller. Boy, how things have changed since my first bold predictions column. We were happily oblivious to Coronavirus. My preseason prediction about Colin Kaepernick was purely football related, just weeks before he became known for something other than his passer rating. RGIII was getting set to... Read More
Marquise Brown: 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Many football fans know of the epic 2019 season the Baltimore Ravens had. Though it resulted in a bitter divisional-round exit at the hands of the Tennessee Titans, the Ravens return a young and highly-talented roster in 2020. After boasting a historic rushing attack last year, many have their eyes on Lamar Jackson and the... Read More
Meet the Mount Rushmore of 2020 Fantasy Football
We all know the big names that dominated their positions last year: Lamar Jackson, Michael Thomas, Christian McCaffrey, and Travis Kelce were league-leaders and often league-winners for a lot of fantasy managers. All these players finished at number one at their respective positions. This does not mean they were the best values though. C-Mac was... Read More
JJ Arcega-Whiteside - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper
As so often is the tradition with second-year receivers who fail to make a big splash in their rookie years, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver JJ Arcega-Whiteside has quickly become old and un-exciting news. Arcega-Whiteside was a trendy sleeper pick going into the 2019 season after the Eagles drafted him with a second-round pick. The Eagles... Read More
How Will CeeDee Lamb Affect the Cowboys Offense?
The Dallas Cowboys enter 2020 fresh off a season in which they led the NFL in total offensive yardage, averaging 431.5 yards per game. The core offensive group returns but a certain key addition has fantasy drafters worrying about the outlooks for recent 1,100-plus yard receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup while celebrating quarterback Dak...

Nick Chubb: 2020 Rushing Champ and Top-Five Fantasy RB
Nick Chubb has established himself as one of the premier pure runners in the NFL, rushing for 2,490 yards and 16 touchdowns on 490 attempts (5.1 yards per attempt) in his two-year career. At 5'11, 227-lbs, Chubb is a bruising back with 90th-percentile scores in speed and burst. Chubb can fight for the tough yards... Read More
Yes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is a First-Round Pick
Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be a top-10 RB going off the board in the first round. That statement shouldn’t be controversial, but people are always hesitant to pay that high of a price for a player we haven’t seen in the NFL before. But you should not let that fear scare you from drafting CEH. Clyde... Read More
Damien Harris is the Answer at RB for New England
As it currently stands, the New England Patriots' backfield is a mess. For the most part, this is more-so by design rather than personnel. The Patriots run one of the heaviest split backfields in the NFL from year-to-year. We would be in the right to call Bill Belichick a "Running Backs Don't Matter" truther, save... Read More
Engel's Angles: The DK Metcalf Love Affair Is Real
When I have watched the NFL over the years, it has always been fun to pinpoint the moments when I realize that some players are just going to be special. One of the first times I recall saying “this player is going to be very good” was when I watched a young Brett Favre handle... Read More

CeeDee Lamb Will End 2020 as the Cowboys' WR1
While the Cowboys may not have expected CeeDee Lamb, the talented Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver, to fall to them at 18th overall in the 2020 Draft, they made the correct choice in selecting him rather than reaching for a position of need like a cornerback. Lamb's fall in the draft from a potential top-10 selection... Read More
Early 2020 Breakout Candidates - Tight End
Tight end may be the hardest position to draft in fantasy football if you have multiple spots at that position in your league. Because of how limited the explosive fantasy options are for that position, you may be put in a tight spot if you are in a larger league. Luckily, there may be some... Read More
