Josh Downs Disappoints In Overtime Victory

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught three passes for 14 yards in the team's 31-28 overtime win over the Tennessee Titans.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) will not be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Jaylen Waddle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1 ANALYSIS: Jaylen Waddle is starting to sizzle. The former first-round pick has either a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in over half of his past seven games. He's only dipped below 10 PPR fantasy points twice in that stretch. He also dropped 114 yards on the […]

Week 13 Fantasy Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Kyler Murray, Breece Hall, D'Andre Swift, Drake London

Dodging busts with a full 16-game slate can be easy. With six teams on bye, it's a little bit more difficult. The Bills, Ravens, Vikings, Bears, Raiders, and Giants all get their week off this Sunday. It couldn't have come at a worse time with the fantasy playoffs for the majority of leagues just two […]

"Bye-nado: The Sequel". Coming this Sunday to your TV. For the second time this season, six teams are taking a mini-vacation. Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minnesota, and the New York Giants are all on bye in Week 13. Each week of the NFL season, I’ll share my picks for each game, and rank the […]

Rachaad White - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: The NFL schedule makers were not kind to Rachaad White. So far this season, he's matched up against the best, second-best, third-best, fourth-best, and sixth-best defenses in terms of half-PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs. That list doesn't include the Chicago Bears, who currently […]

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 […]

When 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 […]

When 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 […]

Is 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 […]

Is 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 […]

Wan'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 […]

Panthers 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. […]

Greg 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 […]

Devin 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 […]

Dalton 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 […]

Shaquille 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 […]

Dallas 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, […]

Isaiah 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 […]

Jalin 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 […]

Saquon 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 […]

Tommy 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 […]

Week 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 […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 12) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

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 […]

Kyle 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 […]

David 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 […]

Giants 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 […]

Wan’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 […]
