Outfield Fantasy Baseball Bust Candidates To Avoid In 2025 Drafts

This time of the fantasy baseball season, no one wants to talk about busts. It's spring training, and hope springs eternal for all teams, players, and fantasy baseball rosters. But the simple truth is that some players are not going to live up to their ADP from this month. Injuries, inconsistencies, job changes, and plenty […]

Seahawks vs. Bears TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Geno Smith, Zach Charbonnet, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, D'Andre Swift

We made it to the last Thursday Night Football game of the year! In most fantasy football leagues, this is the last week and just the championship matchup remains. The Christmas Day games and Thursday Night Football kick off an incredible slate of games. While the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears […]

Christmas Day Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Russell Wilson, George Pickens, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, Joe Mixon

Happy Holiday and welcome to a new NFL experiment: Wednesday games on Christmas day! For fantasy football, these two games come at a very unusual time as they fall on championship week for most leagues. In addition, the two games feature four of the top five teams in the AFC at the moment and offer […]

Broncos vs. Chargers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Bo Nix, Courtland Sutton, Javonte Williams, Justin Herbert, Gus Edwards, Kimani Vidal, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston

While it's impossible to predict what will happen on Thursday Night Football between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, I can almost guarantee that there will be more points scored than last week. Fantasy football was blessed by many incredible Thursday Night Football games this season, but last week was far and away the […]

Rams vs. 49ers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Deebo Samuel, Matthew Stafford, Isaac Guerendo, Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson, Brock Purdy, Tutu Atwell

The 2024 fantasy football playoffs are officially upon us and they kick off with the Los Angeles Rams visiting the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Both teams are coming off dominant offensive performances (Rams scored 44 points in Week 14, 49ers scored 38), and this matchup could not be more important for NFL […]

Packers vs. Lions TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Josh Jacobs, Jordan Love, Jayden Reed, David Montgomery, Jared Goff, Sam LaPorta, Jameson Williams, Tucker Kraft

If you didn't get enough of the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers last Thursday on Thanksgiving, don't worry! Week 14 features the two teams on Thursday Night Football again and there is no shortage of fantasy football assets to deploy here in this important NFC North divisional matchup. If the Packers want any shot […]

Happy Thanksgiving, and welcome to the RotoBaller Thanksgiving Thursday start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 13!

[…]

Steelers vs. Browns TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Jameis Winston, Nick Chubb, David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Russell Wilson, Najee Harris, George Pickens

The Week 12 TNF game between two bitter AFC North rivals (Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers) is not likely to end up like the Thursday night game from two weeks ago when two different AFC North teams (Bengals and Ravens) battled to a 35-34 shootout. Somewhere deep in the charter of the Pittsburgh Steelers, I […]

Commanders vs. Eagles TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Brian Robinson, A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith

After last week's 35-34 edge-of-your-seat matchup between Baltimore and Cincinnati, what can the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles do in Week 11 for some kind of encore for fantasy football managers? This game promises a lot of top-end talent with immense upside, but very little in terms of borderline plays. Will we get an exciting […]

Bengals vs. Ravens TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Diontae Johnson, Chase Brown, Mike Gesicki, Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Tee Higgins, more

Week 10 for Thursday Night Football brings us the first rematch between two opponents for this prime-time spot in 2024. If you recall, the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens competed in an offensive explosion in Week 5 that eventually saw the Ravens eke out a 41-38 win. Joe Burrow threw five touchdowns in that game. […]

Texans vs. Jets TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz, Aaron Rodgers, Breece Hall, Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson

The Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup is a tale of two teams heading in opposite directions. Despite adding pieces over the last 18 months, the Jets are near the bottom of the AFC with a 2-6 record. They have acquired Aaron Rodgers, Braelon Allen, and Davante Adams, and added back Haason Reddick over the […]

Vikings vs. Rams TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Sam Darnold, T.J. Hockenson, Jordan Addison, Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford, Ty Chandler, Tutu Atwell

Thursday Night Football in Week 8 might bring some much-needed fantasy football help to rosters considering all of the injuries of the last two weeks. Three huge stars -- Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and T.J. Hockenson -- might make their respective returns in this exciting game between the Minnesota Vikings and L.A. Rams. (UPDATE: T.J. […]

Broncos vs. Saints TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Courtland Sutton, Javonte Williams, Bo Nix, Spencer Rattler, Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and more

I hope you have been enjoying the days of Thursday Night Football games between the 49ers and Seahawks, Buccaneers and Falcons, and Cowboys and Giants. This matchup in Week 7 for Thursday night might be the least appealing of the year considering the lack of fantasy options and many injuries. We are officially now in […]

49ers vs. Seahawks TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Brock Purdy, Jordan Mason, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III, DK Metcalf, more

Thursday Night Football for Week 6 presents two bitter rivals from an NFC West division that has been turned on its head since the start of the 2024 NFL season. Many of the fantasy football options from this division (Christian McCaffrey, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Trey McBride) have been hurt or have underperformed. In […]

Buccaneers vs. Falcons TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Baker Mayfield, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, Drake London, Cade Otton, Kyle Pitts

Cowboys vs. Giants TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Rico Dowdle, Devin Singletary, Wan'Dale Robinson, Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones, Jake Ferguson, Brandin Cooks

We had our first Thursday Night Football dud last week for fantasy football when the Jets blew out the Patriots, and only a few players mattered with fantasy relevance. There is a potential for that in Week 4 Thursday Night Football as we have one team (the Dallas Cowboys) with several fantasy starters and one […]

Patriots vs. Jets TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Rhamdondre Stevenson, Hunter Henry, Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Braelon Allen, Allen Lazard, Antonio Gibson

After seeing the Ravens, Chiefs, Bills, and Dolphins on the first two Thursday Night Football games of the season, we are now getting a New England Patriots team whose wins over-under was 4.5 in the preseason and the New York Jets who are seeking to find an offensive identity. This game doesn't offer the amount […]

Bills vs. Dolphins TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Dalton Kincaid, James Cook, De'Von Achane, Jeff Wilson, Jaylen Wright, Khalil Shakir, Tua Tagovailoa, more

In Week 2 of the fantasy football season, we are still being treated to the premier matchups on "Thursday Night Football." After a plethora of fantasy options were available in the Ravens-Chiefs matchup last week, we might see just as many here between the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins. This AFC East matchup is […]

Packers vs. Eagles Friday Night Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs, Romeo Doubs, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, A.J. Brown, Jayden Reed

For the first time in NFL history, a prime-time Friday Night Football game will follow the traditional Thursday night kickoff game, and this game has a twist. The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will play a fantasy football dream matchup on September 6 in Sao Paolo, Brazil. This game, to be televised on the […]

This Year’s Fantasy Football League-Winning Tight End Is…

It's easy to point to players like Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta, or Trey McBride and say they will be league-winning tight ends in 2024. The problem is that you have to pay a premium for those players, with each going as a top-50 fantasy pick. This means bypassing other potential league-winning players at similar ADP, […]

Overvalued Fantasy Football Wide Receivers in 2024 FFPC Main Event Drafts

While wide receivers are all the rage in high-stakes fantasy leagues and even smaller home leagues, that's not an invitation to take any pass-catcher at any ADP.
