NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie. You can twist them, but looking at them objectively, numbers say that no matter what, rushing the ball is almost always a worse option than passing it in today's game. That's why […]

Fantasy Basketball Night In Review: Tuesday, October 19

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight a few key fantasy basketball takeaways from the games played during last night's slate. These viewpoints can be both positive and negative and will hopefully help to provide insight into different roster moves you should consider making based on trends and statistical nuggets […]

K.J. Osborn (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There aren't many wide receivers out there putting up K.J. Osborn's playing-time/usage numbers this season, let alone if we add the context of the Vikings. Osborn has appeared in "only" 277 offensive snaps (47th most) and logged a 62% snap share; […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is very simple reasoning you might be using to think I'm crazy recommending Darnell Mooney here: if most fantasy GMs are starting to fade and drop the very own Allen Robinson II, how come Mooney should be rostered at all? Well, A-Rob got into […]

Gerald Everett (TE, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We hadn't been able to watch Gerald Everett play football since Week 3 before he got canned from the squad due to COVID-19 protocols for two of the past three weeks. He finally came back last Sunday, and although he found himself […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It takes a madman to roster a Lion these days, but here we are. Detroit stinks. It's as simple as that, so I'm not going to sugarcoat it. But among all of the bad things going on around Motown, the truth […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Did it took a few weeks for Ricky Seals-Jones to take off the rust? Sure. Has he already warmed the fantasy stove? You bet. Seals-Jones played 25 snaps combined from W1 to W3... only to log 62 (!) in Week 4 alone. […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing three games entirely--virtually four, as he could only throw four passes back in Week 2--Tua Tagovailoa was back on the field on early Sunday playing in London. And oh, boy, did he look great coming back to face the Jaguars […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know. Antonio Gibson is Washington's RB1 and that won't change any time soon. I mean, the production is higher than that of J.D. McKissic, he's edging J.D. by 2.3 PPR points per game, has 14.1 more total PPR points over six […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do I believe Donovan Peoples-Jones is a bonafide WR1 as he showed this past Sunday when he put up a magnificent 26.1 PPR score? No. Not at all. But I don't need to tell you that because you just can look […]

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Was Week 6 the Week of the Rookie Quarterback? I don't know about that, but writing about Fields today makes it probable as I've already penned an entry about Trevor Lawrence for this Tuesday's WW Targets blog even though he's going on a […]

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With six weeks already in the books... I guess it's time to start believing in Christian Kirk as a bonafide WR2 this season? I mean, Kirk is a 10-FPPG career scorer, which means he's a top-36 WR at best, but he's ramped […]

Carson Wentz (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As bad as the narrative about Carson Wentz was last year, and even throughout the first few weeks of this season, the truth is that the new Colts QB hasn't bed bad by any stretch of the imagination. See, Wentz has five top-24 games […]

O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's already been three weeks for Rob Gronkowski sitting on the shelf. On the other hand, it's been five games for an O.J. Howard whose importance and value (in both the real and fantasy football worlds) have grown by the week, though not […]

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The only thing that will keep Trevor Lawrence off half of Yahoo's league rosters is the fact that the Jaguars are going on a Bye week and they'll be out of the schedule for half a month until they get back to the […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nightmarish season for the Giants. It feels like every time Big Blue gets a player back, another one goes down injured. This past weekend it was Sterling Shepard's time to come back... only for Kadarious Toney to get banged up and out. […]

Alex Collins (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm breaking the golden rule of the 50-percent-or-fewer rostership with this writeup, but you know when it's needed we just have to go for it. I woke up last Sunday to news coming from Seattle regarding Chris Carson: placed on Injured Reserve. Uh, oh, […]

A.J. Green (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's funny. By the end of last season, we would all have projected Green to finish 2021 as a WR4 at the very best, with the odd 15+ PPR week making it to his season-long game log but otherwise putrid averages on […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC Vegas 40: Ladd vs. Dumont (Premium Content)

Gotta be happy about the love the UFC has shown to women in the past half a month, putting four girls in the headliner of their two (past and upcoming) latest fight cards. It was Dern and Rodriguez in UFC Vegas 39 last weekend, and it's now Ladd and Dumont after a series of COVID/injury-related […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 40: Ladd vs. Dumont

Gotta be happy about the love the UFC has shown to women in the past half a month, putting four girls in the headliner of their two (past and upcoming) latest fight cards. It was Dern and Rodriguez in UFC Vegas 39 last weekend, and it's now Ladd and Dumont after a series of COVID/injury-related […]

Devontae Booker (RB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker through Week 4: 6.6 PPR points. Devontae Booker in Week 5: 20.8 PPR points. That's it. That's the post. Nah, not really, but if you paid the tiniest bit of attention to the developments taking place in the Giants game at […]

Kadarius Toney (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Call me crazy, but I truly was this close to label Toney a lost cause and a bust after getting drafted 20th overall by the New York Giants... and putting up two back-to-back duds of 1.8 and 3.6 PPR points in his first couple of […]

Hunter Henry (TE, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's start in reverse order. Jonnu Smith has played more than 50% of the Patriots' offensive snaps in just two games this season, including last Sunday's, though he only got 5+ targets in one of those and this last weekend those dropped […]

Alex Collins (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing after reading about Seahawks' HC Pete Carroll telling media that Chris Carson missed Week 5 entirely because of a neck issue popping up and the tailback not feeling comfortable enough to play. Now, to that, you have two add two things: […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues RSOTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even if you don't believe it, you can count the number of players with more targets in Week 5 than Hardman got with just one hand. That's correct. Five wideouts--including teammate Tyreek Hill--were all folks to out-target Hardman this past weekend. Makes […]

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last chance, fancy pants. Carter's rostership has already broken the 50-percent mark so this is probably the last time we'll be writing about him as he should be getting on more and more rosters as the season keeps growing old. The Jets […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues (or stash on IR) ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you don't remember about this running back that goes by the name of Jeff Wilson Jr., well, I guess I can't blame you. Wilson has been out since the last game of 2020 and has yet to […]

The Running Game Is Alive! NextGen Stats Analysis

With five weeks of play in the books and things starting to settle a bit, it's time to get back to studying some of the rushers around the league and see how they have performed through (almost) the first third of the season.
