Week 9 Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Fliers

Week 9 should be fine for fantasy footballers --- as long as their players are not on bye or listed as “questionable.” Fantasy football managers will be without their Bengals, Browns, Rams and Eagles this week, so there will be plenty of talent on fantasy benches. This bye week did not sneak up on fantasy […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

Week 9 will take a toll on the tight end position for millions of fantasy football teams. Fantasy football managers will be without Cleveland’s Austin Hooper, Los Angeles’ Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett, and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert thanks to their teams being on bye. ut the biggest void is left behind by […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups - Week 8

The need for last-minute replacements and waiver wire pickups in fantasy football has never been higher. Arizona, Washington, Jacksonville and Houston are on bye this week, which already leaves most fantasy football teams shorthanded. Add in the players that are listed as “questionable” for their games this week and fantasy managers are probably as upset […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

Week 8 should be great for fantasy football managers at the tight end position. Even though four teams are on bye --- Arizona, Washington, Jacksonville, and Houston --- none of them have a top-12 fantasy tight end. So unless your fantasy squad relies on Logan Thomas or Darren Fells to be your top tight end, […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups - Week 7

Things are starting to get difficult for fantasy football managers. Indianapolis, Minnesota, Miami and Baltimore all have the week off, so fantasy managers are already playing shorthanded. Fielding a full lineup is going to be tough as it is if you have a few injuries. If one of your key guys is listed as questionable […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Week 7 is not going to be a lucky one for millions of fantasy football managers. The bye week is going to create some gaping holes at the tight end position for millions of fantasy squads. The biggest loss is Baltimore’s Mark Andrews, although Miami’s Mike Gesicki, Indianapolis’ Mo-Alie Cox, and Minnesota’s Irv Smith Jr. […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups - Week 6

The pivot plays and post-waiver pickups keep coming, RotoBallers! There is no Thursday game this week to burn fantasy football players, but there are now two Monday night games and plenty of Sunday games that could catch fantasy managers off guard if they do not have backup plans in place for the “questionable” players on […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Week 6 is not going to be kind to fantasy football managers at the tight end position. Four teams are on bye, which means fantasy players will not have Las Vegas’ Darren Waller, New Orleans’ Jared Cook, Los Angeles’ Hunter Henry, and Seattle’s Greg Olsen at their disposal. On top of that, fantasy footballers might […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups - Week 5

Welcome to the newest weekly column here at RotoBaller! It is not easy these days being a fantasy football manager. Injuries are ravaging rosters throughout the NFL and fantasy worlds. Then fantasy managers must navigate last-minute COVID cancellations and the dreaded bye weeks. It is enough to make many think that coin collecting or bird watching […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

The 2020 NFL season has not been easy on fantasy football general managers. If fantasy footballers did not already have enough to contend with between injuries (O.J. Howard, Noah Fant, Jordan Akins) and COVID preventing their players on Pittsburgh and Tennessee from taking the field, here comes the first round of byes! No game for […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts: Week 4

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of all the injuries in the NFL. Trying to field a lineup in fantasy football lineup in standard leagues, dynasty leagues or DFS contests is harder than finding a decent player on the New York Jets offense or New York Giants Defense. Injuries create openings for […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

The tight end pickings are starting to get slimmer on fantasy football waiver wires. While we are still a week away from being on bye, fantasy general managers are still probably going to be missing some of their tight ends heading into Week 4. San Francisco’s George Kittle and Jordan Reed and Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts - Week 3

Fantasy football players have learned a lot through two weeks of the 2020 NFL season. The most important lesson is that you better be prepared if your fantasy squad suffers a string of torn ACLs, hamstring pulls and concussions. New York’s Saquon Barkley is out for the season with a torn ACL, while Carolina’s Christian […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Two weeks down, two tight ends down! The pickings are not slim at the tight end position in most fantasy leagues this early in the season. There are still plenty of grizzled veterans and up-and-coming youngsters to choose from for fantasy football managers. That is good news for those who might need a fill-in with […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts - Week 2

The opening week of fantasy football gave us surprises like O.J. Howard being the top Tampa Bay tight end instead of Rob Gronkowski, and it gave us things we expected such as DeAndre Hopkins catching every pass in sight and Philip Rivers and Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing multiple interceptions. Now that fantasy managers have a week […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

If you think your fantasy football team is hurting at the tight end position, now is the time to fix the problem. One week of the 2020 NFL regular season is in the books. When it comes to the tight ends, there is never as much juice on fantasy league waiver wires and free-agent lists […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts - Week 1

The NBA and the NHL are in the midst of their postseasons, and MLB is in the final month of its shortened regular season. Yet many sports fans and fantasy players who have been biding their time with those leagues are now ready for their main event of major sports --- and I am not […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

Did you finish your fantasy football draft and realize that you forgot to take a viable tight end? Are the only tight ends on your fantasy roster Jordan Akins and Trey Burton? If you fall into one of these categories, you came to the right place. All of the undrafted tight ends in your fantasy […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, JAX) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Eifert has never found a body part he could not injure. Not many top tight ends have been plagued throughout their career by major injuries more than he has. 2019 was the first time in his seven-year career that Eifert suited up for […]

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

The NFL might be a quarterback-driven, pass-first league these days, but you are not going to win a fantasy football league without a decent running back corps. Even though more NFL teams are going with a running-back-by-committee philosophy rather than relying on a running back to be a three-down workhorse, fantasy rosters have to be […]

Updated Wide Receiver Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

RotoBaller’s 2020 wide receiver rankings for standard fantasy football leagues are looking a little different than they did a few months ago. The NFL draft, trades, free-agent signings, salary-cap cuts and opt-outs due to the COVID crisis have all affected the wide receiver rankings since the last time our website’s rankings were released. So now […]

Updated Tight End Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

The NFL season will be here quicker than Travis Kelce runs a slant route. RotoBaller’s tight end rankings for standard fantasy football leagues have not changed drastically during the offseason, but there have been some risers and fallers to make note of. Most of the fantasy value changes have to do with the supporting casts […]

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~83 ANALYSIS: Jones only suited up for nine games in his 2018 rookie-season due to various problems ranging from injury to just not being prepared to play in the NFL, and when he did get on the field he averaged an embarrassing 1.9 yards per carry. Last year […]

Stop That Hype Train! Raheem Mostert

Raheem Mostert went from a special teams ace to the top tailback on a Super Bowl team faster than a greyhound chases a mechanical rabbit around a racetrack. Mostert was a journeyman running back who was on five different teams in his first two NFL seasons before cementing his status as a member of the […]

2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper: Ronald Jones

Ronald Jones II has caused fantasy football players more problems over his short career than a malfunctioning stat service. Jones’ rookie campaign was a nightmare Freddy Krueger would have been proud of. He only suited up for nine games due to various problems ranging from injury to just flat out not being prepared to play […]

Tight End Standard Rankings, Tiers and Analysis

It is never too early to start setting up your cheat sheet for your fantasy football drafts and auctions. The 2020 NFL season is going to be interesting fantasy-wise at the tight end position. With longtime fantasy demigod Rob Gronkowski putting his pro wrestling career on hold and coming out of retirement to reteam with […]

Tight End PPR Rankings, Tiers & Analysis

Fantasy football players probably hope the 2020 NFL season is better for tight ends than the 2019 season was. 2018 was arguably the greatest year for tight ends in the history of the NFL and fantasy football thanks to Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz setting the single-season record for receptions and San Francisco’s George Kittle setting the […]

Biggest Breakouts of 2019: Tight End

There were a lot of fantasy football busts at the tight end position in 2019, but there were also a lot of breakout stars. The 2018 season saw Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz break the NFL record for most receptions in a season by a tight end, while San Francisco’s George Kittle broke the record for most […]

Biggest Busts of 2019: Tight End

2019 was not the record-breaking season for tight ends 2018 was. San Francisco’s George Kittle (most receiving yards for a TE in a season) and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz (most receptions for a TE in a season) did not break the records they set last season, although both were fine for fantasy players. Kansas City’s Travis […]

2020 Early Sleepers and Draft Targets: Running Back

It is going to be almost impossible to win your fantasy football league in 2020 without a strong set of running backs, even in today’s pass-happy NFL. While quarterbacks and wide receivers have gained importance in fantasy football in recent years, building your fantasy roster around your running back corps is still one of the […]
