Aaron Rodgers (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13
BALLER MOVE: Wait and See, Likely Avoid ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Maybe it's my pessimism showing after an entire season of writing busts columns for RotoBaller, but Aaron Rodgers claiming that he's going to return this season from a torn Achilles seems like nothing but a charade. The Jets opened the future of […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoWhen Will Michael Wilson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update
Rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson received all the positive buzz in the offseason and training camp. The popular belief was that once Kyler Murray returned from his ACL injury, Wilson would be a legitimate option for fantasy football managers opposite Marquise Brown. Don't tell the universe your plans. Just one game after Murray found his […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoWhen Will Salvon Ahmed Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update
Salvon Ahmed is the latest victim of the injury roulette in the Miami backfield. Coincidentally, injuries are what gave Ahmed opportunities on offense to begin with. Jeff Wilson Jr. and De'Von Achane have both missed games with ailments, allowing Ahmed to be the RB2 in some instances behind Raheem Mostert. The 24-year-old is the fourth […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoIs Quentin Johnston Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update
In a large majority of cases, injury designations are black and white. Either you're injured or you're not. This is not one of those cases. It is a fact that Quentin Johnston departed Sunday night's game with a rib injury, went into the blue medical tent, and then did not return to the game. Following […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoIs Chris Olave Injured or Healthy - Fantasy Football Injury Update
Injuries are always unfortunate for fantasy football. It's even more of a knife in the chest when the player who goes down is on pace for one of the best performances of the season. New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave ran 22 routes in roughly one half. He secured seven of his nine targets […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoWan'Dale Robinson Posts Mediocre Stat Line Against New England
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson secured four of his five targets for 26 yards in the team's 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots. All those marks were second-best for New York, behind rookie Jalin Hyatt. For the second time all season, Robinson's snap percentage topped 75 percent, but the production didn't reflect […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoPanthers Fire Head Coach Frank Reich
The Carolina Panthers have let go of coach Frank Reich following the team's loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Panthers recorded 10 losses and one win in Reich's short tenure with the team. The defense ranked third-worst in points allowed. On the offensive side of the ball, Carolina is only one spot better. […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoGreg Dortch Scores Late Touchdown Versus Los Angeles
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch secured just three of his nine targets for 27 yards but scored a touchdown in the team's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when the game was already decided. Dortch has played 75% of the snaps in each of the […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoDevin Singletary Efficient In Passing Game Against Jacksonville
Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary saw his rushing opportunities take a hit with the return of Dameon Pierce but was efficient enough with his receptions to not burn fantasy managers. Singletary converted six carries into 18 yards and six catches into 54. Pierce, the starter before his ankle injury, was given just six total […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoDalton Schultz Held To One Catch Against Jacksonville
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz registered just one catch for two yards in the team's 24-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The stat line is especially disappointing since quarterback C.J. Stroud threw for over 300 yards once again. The 27-year-old has just three catches over the last two weeks. With the return of fellow […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoShaquille Leonard Expected To Meet With Dallas
Free-agent linebacker Shaquille Leonard is expected to meet with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 28-year-old was released by Indianapolis earlier this month after logging 65 tackles in nine games. The Cowboys already boast one of the best defensive units in football but have been without linebacker Leighton Vander […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoDallas Goedert Pushing To Return In Week 13
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) is pushing to play Sunday when the Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers. The tight end has missed two games with a fractured forearm, but a bye week mixed in has given him extra time to recover. If he's not able to make it back against San Francisco, […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoIsaiah Hodgins Catches Lone Touchdown For New York In Week 12
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins caught just one pass for 12 yards against New England, but he found the end zone on his lone reception. In fact, that was the veteran's only target on Sunday afternoon. Quarterback Tommy Devito completed 17 passes and Hodgins was one of six Giants to secure just one […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoJalin Hyatt Posts First 100-Yard Performance
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt posted a career-best performance against the New England Patriots. The third-round rookie led the team in targets (6), catches (5), and receiving yards (109) to help lead the Giants to a 10-7 victory. New York only tallied 220 yards of total offense, meaning the reigning Biletnikoff Award winner […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoSaquon Barkley Held In Check Against New England
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley barely topped 50 total yards in the team's 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 12. New York's offensive star received 12 carries for 46 yards and caught one pass for 6 yards. Barkley's 13 touches were his fewest of the 2023 season. There was not […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoTommy DeVito Throws One Touchdown In Week 12 Victory
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito threw for 191 yards and was responsible for the team's lone touchdown in a 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots. The undrafted rookie connected with wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins for a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter. DeVito still held onto the ball in the pocket longer than […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoWeek 12 Fantasy Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Tua Tagovailoa, Garrett Wilson, James Cook, Amari Cooper
A trio of Thursday games. The first-ever Black Friday game. The regularly scheduled Sunday slate. And for dessert, Monday Night Football. A lot of football (and food) is on tap, and hopefully, the only thing busting is your belt buckle. But that's the nature of the game. Not everybody will put up the stat line […]

Thanksgiving has all but arrived, which means the NFL schedule gets spread out with a plethora of satellite games. Three games on Thanksgiving, the first-ever game on Black Friday, and then the regular Sunday and Monday night slate. It's one of the best times of the year for football fans. Each week of the NFL […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoKyle Pitts - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12
BALLER MOVE: Sit In 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: If you're desperately searching for a tight end who receives five targets, boy, do I have the guy for you! In the last four games, Kyle Pitts has been targeted exactly five times in each contest. His stat lines are dripping in mediocrity (he […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoDavid Njoku - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is enamored with David Njoku. It wasn't Amari Cooper or Elijah Moore that caught his eye in his first two starts. Rather, the tight end has been peppered with targets. Pretty apparent from DTR’s first start that David Njoku was […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoGiants DST Just Outside The Top 12 Against New England
The New York Giants defense is a worthy streaming candidate in Week 12 against a New England offense that may or may not be starting Mac Jones at quarterback. Coach Bill Belichick has kept his cards close to his vest. Jones, Bailey Zappe, or even Malik Cunningham could play. Regardless, none of those quarterbacks are […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoWan’Dale Robinson To Remain Off Fantasy Rosters In Week 12
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson still is not getting enough targets to be reliable for fantasy football managers, despite appearing to be one of the better wideouts on the roster. In his last three games, Robinson has earned 12 targets, catching nine of them for 76 yards and one touchdown. Undrafted rookie quarterback […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoPlaying Time For Isaiah Hodgins Could Jump In Week 12
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins is back in the wide receiver rotation and could see even more time on the field against New England due to a doubtful designation for starting wideout Darius Slayton (neck). Hodgins caught his first passes since Week 7 against Washington last week and therefore still remains far from […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoJalin Hyatt Could See Increased Usage Against New England
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt may get more chances to show off his speed against the Patriots with starting wideout Darius Slayton (neck) doubtful to take the field. Despite tallying just three catches for 26 yards over the last three games with Tommy Devito under center, Hyatt's speed has been a weapon that […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoDaniel Bellinger Remains Buried In TE Rankings In Week 12
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is slated to be the featured tight end for the fourth straight week due to the absence of Darren Waller (hamstring). Unfortunately, his production hasn't matched that of a starting tight end. The sophomore has drawn just three targets in all three games, totaling eight catches for 115 […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoSaquon Barkley Stays Locked In As An RB1 Against New England
Volume is king in fantasy football and New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is getting all of the volume. Since his return from an ankle injury, Barkley has only dropped below 15 touches once in six games. His worst yardage total in that stretch is 61 yards in a blowout loss to the Dallas […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoTommy DeVito Looks To Build Off Career-Best Performance Against Patriots
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito took advantage of a soft Washington secondary en route to career-high numbers in completions, yards, and touchdowns. That will be much harder to replicate in Week 12 against a New England defense that ranks in the top half for fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. The undrafted rookie will […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoGeorge Kittle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: From Week 7 through today, George Kittle is averaging the most PPR fantasy points per game among tight ends.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoJared Goff - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: The home/road split theory for Jared Goff has been thrown out the window. For the majority of his Detroit career, he was markedly a better player for fantasy football while on the grounds of Ford Field. On the road, he could be avoided or benched. […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: 3, 2, 1, bust. Those were Dak Prescott's fantasy performances over the last four weeks. The longtime Cowboys quarterback played himself into the top three for a trio of games before finally cooling off against the Carolina Panthers. He wasn't terrible, scoring two touchdowns and […]
