Week 14 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

Are you liberal or conservative? No, I'm not talking politics. Trust me, that's the last thing I want to debate at this time of year. Or any time, for that matter. The question is do you stick with the safe, high-floor players as you fight to stay in the fantasy playoffs or do you roll […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 14 Pickups and Adds

Just as fantasy owners find themselves in must-win situations, the unheralded, no-name, running backs come out of the woodwork. These runners can't necessarily be trusted through the fantasy playoffs, but some could serve as valuable depth or do in a pinch if you find yourself needing a matchup-based flex. This article will aim to highlight […]

Shohei Ohtani - What Should We Expect in 2018 and Beyond?

Shohei Ohtani is already the most talked-about player in the baseball world and he doesn't even belong to a Major League team. Not yet, at least. When Giancarlo Stanton is practically an afterthought at the GM meetings, you know you have something big on your hands. The Japanese sensation has dominated headlines lately and is now […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 13 Fantasy Football Picks

This week is make or break for many fantasy teams on the playoff bubble. If you're currently sitting at 6-6 or 7-5, I don't need to explain the importance of picking the right flex plays. Instead, let me tell you that it could be worse. One long-time league that I'm still a part of used […]

Week 13 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

Who says 13 is an unlucky number? Lots of people actually, but they'd be wrong. Triskaidekaphobia is surprisingly common, but ultimately meaningless. In fact, many cultures view the number 13 is tied to good fortune. Regardless of what you believe, you'll surely attribute your fantasy football fate this week to luck and/or the spite of […]

Fantasy Bomb Podcast - Josh Gordon (and Other Stuff)

RotoBaller lead editor Pierre Camus is joined by writers Adam Hammer and Chris Mangano to talk about the flurry of changes at the quarterback position across the NFL. We eulogize Eli Manning's career as well as Kareem Hunt's fantasy value. Listen all the way through for our in-depth coverage of the Josh Gordon situation at the […]

Reviewing Pierre Camus' Bold Predictions for 2017 MLB

Never have I looked forward to writing a season recap so much. I didn't do as well in my fantasy leagues this year, mainly due to lack of time attending to my lineups. Nor did half of these predictions come close to coming true. Sometimes it just takes one thing to make it all worthwhile. […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 13 Pickups and Adds

The fact that some players who weren't sure things to even make the final roster this preseason are suddenly viable for fantasy leagues speaks volumes on the volatility of the running back position. You still won't find any surefire starters on this list (not even Burkhead), but there's always the chance that some of these […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 12 Fantasy Football Picks

Happy Thanksgiving! Before you dive head-first into that pile of stuffing, let's fill up on some fruitful fantasy advice. The three-game slate on Turkey Day is just the beginning of a full week of NFL action. With byes out of the way, there are more opportunities than ever to find that player who could fill […]

Week 12 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

This isn't just one of the best weeks of the year for NFL fans, it's also a great time for college football. I say this because soon we'll be talking about rookies potentially making an impact through the fantasy playoffs. Those players were in the midst of rivalry games and bowl talk this time a […]

Fantasy Bomb Podcast - Got Playoff Swag?

RotoBaller lead editor/writer Pierre Camus and writer Chris Mangano take time to give thanks to the fantasy players who have made 2017 great (for us), pour one out for Chris Thompson, and take the pulse on fantasy owners stuck with questionable studs like Kareem Hunt, Leonard Fournette, Julio Jones, and Mike Evans to see where they rate […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 12 Pickups and Adds

It had been a while, but another significant injury has caused a shift in RB values. We also have some new RBBCs forming in unexpected places and more undrafted players stirring things up. Things are getting interesting as we get closer to playoff time. This article will aim to highlight Week 12 waiver wire adds […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

We were due for Week 10 to happen and not just in the most obvious, literal sense that Week 10 would inevitably arrive after Week 9. Sometimes up is down, black is white, and dogs and cats live and dine together in harmony. In a week where DeMarco Murray and Kirk Cousins combined for five […]

Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

In a week where so many picks went so wrong, it's good to know that many others were just as wrong. Sleepers Eli Manning, Bilal Powell, and Corey Davis were all big whiffs, while purported busts C.J. Beathard, Jonathan Stewart, and Emmanuel Sanders had their best games of the season. I was almost shocked that […]

Fantasy Bomb Podcast - What's Up With That???

RotoBaller lead editor Pierre Camus and writer Chris Mangano ask the hard questions entering Week 11 of the 2017 fantasy football season, such as "What's Up With That???" They debate the fantasy value of Kareem Hunt, Drew Brees, and anyone wearing a Buffalo Bills jersey. Be sure to tune into RotoBaller Radio on SiriusXM (channel Sirius […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: It may have been a meaningless touchdown that Andre Ellington scored on Thursday night, but it's a reminder that he could still have fantasy value even in a struggling offense. He was stymied in Week 11, catching just three of six […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Just as he had become a forgotten man, Rex Burkhead now appears to be the focal point of New England's offense, just to confuse us all. With Mike Gillislee scratched for the Sunday night tilt with Denver, Burkhead got the ball early and […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 11 Pickups and Adds

If you're a believer in the All-RB bench strategy, you may consider acquiring multiple players on this list. We have no idea how much value players like Jamaal Williams or Rex Burkhead will have in another week or two, but the off-chance that they play significant roles on their respective teams during the fantasy playoffs […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

I just couldn't resist the urge, so you'll have to bear with me for a few more sentences while I gloat a bit. Sometimes it feels like we are wrong more than we are right in the world of fantasy football, yet we keep coming back or more like the addicts we are. Nothing feeds […]

Week 10 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

It finally happened. I think. Ezekiel Elliott will finally come out of double-secret probation and miss an actual game. Does that mean I'm all in on Alfred Morris? Hardly. Dak Prescott on the other hand... and you may be surprised at which receiver benefits most. As an expert ranker for RotoBaller and FantasyPros, I'll put my […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 10 Pickups and Adds

The rookies have officially taken over the RB landscape. Ownership levels reflect that already, which means most of the best remaining options are veterans. This is also a good time to look for players coming off injuries or bye weeks that may have been overlooked by your competitors. As always, it's best to know your […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes we can outsmart ourselves, can't we? I believe I've said this before, but the Texans-Seahawks game last week is a perfect example of how common sense can just go right out the window when a game defies logic and statistical analysis. At that point, all our best research and prognosticating looks downright idiotic. Hopefully […]

Week 9 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

You might think with six teams on bye and less players overall to consider, establishing a solid set of rankings might be a bit easier. In fact, for fantasy purposes it makes it far tougher to establish the lower value tiers because you have to wade through RB committees and WR4/WR5 types just to assess […]

Fantasy Bomb Podcast - Midseason Mock Re-draft

RotoBaller lead editor Pierre Camus and co-host Adam Hammer team up with writer Chris Mangano to hold a midseason mock draft for fantasy football. They assess player values for the rest of the season by assembling the teams you wish you had right now! See how player ADP has shifted from preseason up until Week 9 […]

Fantasy Spin - Jay Ajayi Traded to Eagles

Jay Ajayi was just declared the goat. No, I definitely don't mean the Muhammad Ali of running backs (that would be Jim Brown). Just a plain old goat; possibly a scapegoat, if you don't side with coach Adam Gase. See, the recent passive aggressive public comments by his former coach imply that Ajayi was one […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

There was less football on the whole this weekend, as six teams took a break. We had another ugly London game, a surprise shootout in Seattle and a couple of nail-biters. We also witnessed the continued ascension of some rookies to possible NFL stardom in the form of Deshaun Watson and Juju Smith-Schuster. Things are […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 9 Pickups and Adds

This might be the worst week for RB waivers yet. Another six teams will be on bye in Week 9 and thankfully there weren't any major injuries to create job openings. At this point, you are chasing upside, filling holes in your lineup, or stashing players for future weeks. As usual, this article will aim […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 8 Fantasy Football Picks

Rather than reciting some of my greatest hits and misses from last week (let's just assume they were all hits and move on), I have a commentary on the fantasy football community as a whole. While it goes without saying that we all love football and especially the fantasy aspect of it, I could easily […]

Week 8 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

As badly as my running back picks from last week went (Latavius Murray, really?), I'd like to think my in-depth analysis on Kenny Stills made up for it if you put him in your lineup. With six teams on bye this week, it's more important than ever to sift through the waiver wire and pick […]
