Kyle Allen To Start Against Giants

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Kyle Allen (arm), who was replaced by Alex Smith in the Week 5 loss to the Rams because of an arm injury, practiced on Wednesday and will start in Week 6 against the Giants. Smith will remain as Allen's backup this Sunday, with Dwayne Haskins […]

Crack that piggybank and recruit some reinforcements! Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In case you were not aware, several fantasy sports platforms are switching from […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

It seems the waiver wire is becoming more and more important with all the hectic scheduling changes, potential cancellations looming, and the presence of injuries. Managers will now have to deal with potential COVID-related game postponements along with the setbacks experienced by many players. As we head into Week 6, it’s important to start monitoring […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Can you believe we're already on our way to Week 6 of the NFL? The season is flying along, even with a lot of bumps along the way. This week saw some wild performances from some unexpected places, including Steelers rookie Chase Claypool going all the way off. It's a great time to get Claypool […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 6

Once again, the NFL was a perfect example of why people love and hate the game of football. On one hand, we saw the best feelgood story in several years with Alex Smith returning to play (and looking relatively good all things considered) for the Washington Football Team. Then, just hours later the brutal cruelty […]

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 […]

Top IDP Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

Last week, we gave you a few select pieces of advice in our IDP waiver column and our weekly IDP rankings column. Let’s review a couple of those pieces of advice, and whether they panned out, shall we? Last week we told you to stop letting Budda Baker sit on waivers. We warned you that […]

Younghoe Koo A Solid Starting Option In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option in Week 6. Koo went 3-for-3 last week in field goals, booting in one from over 40 yards and another from over 50. The Vikings allow the most points to fantasy kickers, so this is one of the best weeks to start Koo.

Falcons Defense Should Be On The Bench

The Atlanta Falcons Defense is not a starting-caliber option this week. With a bunch of turnover on the coaching staff this week, it signals the start of a new time for the Falcons. Nevertheless, this unit has been struggling all season with injuries and underwhelming performances, especially in the secondary. The Vikings are potent on […]

RotoBaller PGA: One And Done Staff Picks - CJ Cup

Here at RotoBaller, we are always searching for ways to give our readers the best fantasy sports content possible. With that goal in mind, we are very proud of our weekly PGA “One and Done” column. In this feature, our golf staff of Joe Nicely, Spencer Aguiar and Josh Bennett will provide their weekly golf […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 If Active

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a low-end TE1 if active in Week 6 against the Vikings. Hurst is now dealing with a back injury and his status for the game is unclear. The tight end has not been consistent as he posted two receptions for eight yards on six targets last week while […]

Russell Gage Best Left On The Bench

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is best left on the bench for Week 6. Gage has been dealing with a shoulder injury and it remains to be seen if he even plays this week. Nevertheless, after getting over 100 yards in Week 1, the WR has only gotten 64 total yards in the past […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid WR1 this week against the Vikings. Aside from a dud in Week 4 against Green Bay, Ridley has gotten over five receptions and at least 10 targets and 100+ yards receiving in the other four games. With such a rich role, Ridley is a strong play […]

Julio Jones A WR1 If Active In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones would be a WR1 if he is active against the Vikings. Jones was held out last week as he is dealing with a hamstring injury. Nevertheless, the Vikings offer the fifth-most points to fantasy receivers, meaning Jones could have a big day if he ultimately suits up.

Todd Gurley II A Solid RB2 In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a worthy starter this week against Minnesota. The RB has offered minimal receiving value, but has seen at least 14 carries in all five games and posted a season-best 121 rushing yards last week. He also has four rushing touchdowns in the past three games. The Vikings […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Vikings

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 heading into Week 6. The QB has been consistent in his yards this season (at least 226 in all five games) but he only has one touchdown and two picks in the past three games. The Vikings are a favorable matchup for opposing QBs, but Ryan's […]

Davante Adams On Track To Play Sunday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), who has missed the last two games, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and is on track to play in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. Adams had the Week 5 bye to heal up, so his fantasy managers should be throwing him back into their […]

Louis Oosthuizen Looks To Continue Strong Play

Louis Oosthuizen will make his second consecutive start at the CJ Cup and will look for his fifth straight top-25 finish. Oosthuizen currently ranks in the top-35 in strokes gained approaching the green, strokes gained around the green, strokes gained putting, and strokes gained tee to green. He has just one career start at the […]

Abraham Ancer Enters CJ Cup With Momentum

Abraham Ancer will make his second consecutive start after a fourth-place finish at Shriners. He ranked second in the field in strokes gained in putting and 15th in driving-accuracy percentage last week. There is a bit of concern for Ancer this week based on his past performances at Nine Bridges. In two career appearances at […]

Jaguars Acquire Kamalei Correa

The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired linebacker Kamalei Correa from the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, according to sources. Correa requested a trade from the Titans after he was inactive on Tuesday night following his activation from the COVID-19 list. The 26-year-old had just one solo tackle and two QB hits in three games of action for the […]

Kawann Short To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short (shoulder) will have season-ending shoulder surgery for the second year in a row. Short only appeared in two games in 2019 after suffering a partially torn rotator cuff and had only played in three of five games in 2020, recording just six tackles (three solo). For a Panthers Defense […]

Cam Newton On Track To Play In Week 6

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is expected to rejoin the team when they return to practice on Thursday, according to a source. Per the transaction wire, the Patriots officially removed Newton from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday as well. That would put Newton on track to start in Week 6 against the Broncos after […]

DraftKings Core Four (PGA DFS): CJ Cup @ Shadow Creek (Premium Content)

All other PGA Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Hello RotoBallers, and thank you very much for joining me for the CJ Cup @ Shadow Creek! Martin Laird was not featured in last week's Core Four, but the veteran managed to outlast a player that was (Matthew Wolff) in a playoff at […]

Gary Woodland Enters CJ Cup With Past Success

Gary Woodland will make his second start of the 2021 season this week at the CJ Cup. He has been very good at Nine Bridges over the past two appearances with T3 and second place finishes in 2020 and 2019, respectively. He has not had a top-20 finish since June, but this is a good […]

Robert Tonyan Looking For Encore

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will try and stay hot in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. Tonyan enjoyed a breakout performance in Week 4, racking up 98 yards and three touchdowns. The Packers offense will be fresh off their bye week and will face a Buccaneers Defense that is allowing the 12th fewest […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick Seeking Consistency

Matthew Fitzpatrick will make his second start of the season after missing the cut at the U.S. Open. Fitzpatrick has struggled to find consistency over his last several starts. He has three top-10 finishes over his last six starts, but he has also missed three cuts. Fitzpatrick was good with his putter in the 2020 […]

Aaron Jones Back On The RB1 Map For Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will be ready to roll in Week 6 against the Buccaneers after the team's bye week. Jones is off to a fantastic start this season, averaging an impressive 5.8 yards per carry with 509 all-purpose yards and six total touchdowns. He will go up against a Tampa Bay […]

Nate Schmidt Traded To Vancouver

The Vancouver Canucks acquired defenseman Nate Schmidt from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a 2022 third-round draft pick on Monday. The 29-year-old spent the last three seasons in Vegas, posting his best point-per-game number (0.52) in 2019-2020 with 31 points (seven goals, 24 assists) in 59 contests. Schmidt will likely eat big minutes […]
