Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 12

It's nearly playoff time and every lineup tweak can have major implications for the fate of fantasy squads. That's why our RotoBaller team continues ramping up our efforts to break down every fantasy football matchup and provide week-winning advice. With major COVID-19 complications to contend with this week, such as the absence of Lamar Jackson, J.K. Dobbins, […]

Philip Rivers Expected To Be A Go On Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is expected to suit up for Sunday's pivotal divisional matchup with the Titans. Rivers was listed as questionable after Friday's practice, though head coach Frank Reich indicated it was a good session for the veteran quarterback. With Rivers close to full strength, the Colts may have to rely on […]

Updated Week 12 Tight End Rankings

Welcome to Week 12 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 12 tight end rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates: Mark Andrews (COVID-19) Will Not Suit Up Zach Ertz Not Expected To Play Monday Tua Tagovailoa Downgraded To Doubtful Jordan Reed (Illness) Has Been Held Out […]

Giovani Bernard Expected To Suit Up

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (head) is expected to take the field on Sunday against the Giants. A full practice session on Friday had Bernard looking good for the Week 12 contest, though it's always nice to get further confirmation closer to kickoff. Look for the veteran back to be among the list of […]

Richard Sherman Expected To Suit Up Against Rams

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) is expected to make his return to the field in Week 12 against the Rams. Sherman hasn't played since Week 2 due to the calf injury, but the San Francisco secondary has held strong for the most part, ranking fifth against the pass this year. The former All-Pro […]

Mark Andrews Tests Positive For COVID-19

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (COVID-19) has tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the Reserve list. Andrews is the 11th Ravens player to go on the Reserve/COVID list over the past week, with pass-rusher Matt Judon also testing positive for the virus. The Ravens' star tight end is a Type 1 diabetic, […]

Jalen Hurts To See Increased Playing Time

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to see more playing time on Monday night against the Seahawks. Carson Wentz is still the Eagles' starter- though they intend to use Hurts for plays at a time in an attempt to spark an offense that ranks 26th in yards and 24th in points scored. It's anyone's […]

Clelin Ferrell Has Chance To Return

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Clelin Ferrell (COVID-19) has a chance to return to the field on Sunday after missing his team's Week 11 game. The team will see how he feels in the hours before kickoff. Ferrell had started every game this year before testing positive for the virus, compiling 19 tackles and seven […]

Kalen Ballage Not Expected To Play Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle, calf) is not expected to play against the Bills In Week 12. Ballage was listed as questionable and is a game-time decision, though it appears he is on the wrong side of that designation. This coincides with the news that Austin Ekeler (hamstring) was activated and is […]

Ravens-Steelers Game Still On For Tuesday

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are still expected to take the field on Tuesday for their Week 12 game. Twice postponed already due to the number of positive COVID-19 tests, the status of the game was very much in doubt. However, with no new positive tests on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the […]

Julio Jones Not Expected To Suit Up, Hayden Hurst Likely To Play

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Raiders in Week 12. Meanwhile, tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) is on track to suit up for the contest. Jones will test his ailing hamstring out in the pre-game, though it's certainly not looking good after a 'DNP' in Friday's practice. […]

Kendall Hinton Will Likely See QB Work Over Royce Freeman

That's a weird headline, huh? The entire Denver Broncos quarterback unit is on the COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday's game against the Saints. There was speculation running back Royce Freeman would be the emergency quarterback, but it looks like it will be practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton, who played some quarterback at Wake […]

Tyler Boyd Should Be Safe From QB Change

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be the only pass-catcher in Cincy to not be too negatively impacted by the team's move to Brandon Allen at quarterback. Last year, Boyd managed to finish with 90 catches for 1,046 yards while playing with Andy Dalton and Ryan Finley at quarterback, so Boyd doesn't need Andy […]

Tee Higgins Could Struggle With Quarterback Change

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins has been playing some solid football, but he should see a downgrade in value as the team moves to Brandon Allen at quarterback with Joe Burrow (knee) out. We expect the Bengals to lean more on their veteran options this week, so even though Higgins has nine or […]

Expect Plenty Of James Robinson Carries In Week 12

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson continues to be one of the biggest workhorse backs in the NFL this season. He's seen 17 or more carries in four consecutive games, with at least 3.96 yards per carry and two targets in each of those. Volume alone makes Robinson a matchup-proof RB2 play every week.

Laviska Shenault Jr. Is Risky Week 12 Start

With D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) out, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. could slide into the No. 1 receiver role on this team. But with Mike Glennon at quarterback, Shenault's upside is limited. Shenault hasn't played since Week 9, and while he was trending up at one point, that was with Gardner Minshew […]

Week 12 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 11 saw a bit of a rebound in picking the right defenses. With the weather and injury updates on Sunday, we were able to nail six of the top-10 defensive units with the Bucs still to come. Miami laid a bit of an egg against a banged-up Denver team, and the Chargers weren't able […]

Week 12 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We’ve made it to Week 12. The NFL season continues to roll on. It was another unfortunate week for injuries, as Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow tore his ACL in a road matchup with the Washington Football Team. After our amazing performances in Week 10, it was a pretty quiet week on the kicker front, […]

Mike Glennon Is Not Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon will be starting against Cleveland in Week 12, but he shouldn't be starting in your fantasy football lineup. His top wide receiver, D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) is out, and Glennon hasn't started an NFL game since 2017, when he threw four touchdowns and five interceptions in four games. Glennon might […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is RB2 Option In Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire remains the team's top running back and should be in line for solid work against Tampa Bay in Week 12. It's a fairly tough matchup, but CEH has low-end RB2 value based on his upside. He scored twice last week, potentially suggesting that the rookie rusher is trending […]

Le'Veon Bell Is Middling Play

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell has struggled to make much of an impact since joining the team.Last week's seven carries were his most as a member of the Chiefs. Sure, he scored a touchdown, but Bell's been a low-volume guy since arriving in K.C., and at this point he's just a Clyde Edwards-Helaire […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 12 (11/29/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Week 11 was a rough one, starting with the Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow going down with a season-ending injury that also ended their hopes of pulling out a win against the Washington Football Team. Many survivor pools were shaken up when the Vikings not only didn't cover, but failed to win over the Cowboys at […]

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been targeted 10-plus times in three consecutive games. He remains the No. 1 play at the tight end position this week despite a tougher matchup than usual against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With other top tight ends injured, Kelce is worth paying up for in DFS, as […]
