Week 11 Busts For Fantasy Football: Joe Flacco, Eric Decker, T.Y. Hilton, and the Buffalo Defense

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) The Ravens' offense has to be among the most boring in all of football. I mean it. Kamar Aiken, Chris Givens and Marlon Brown are some of the least exciting players in the league. Justin Forsett is a short-yardage collector with one single run of over 25 yards. Tight ends Crockett Gilmore […]

The 2015 Fantasy Football Season In Review (Through Week 8)

All is well on draft day as fantasy owners in leagues of all stakes and sizes scan their rosters and smile. There’s Jamaal Charles, winking from the RB1 spot, the type of bell cow that heads a championship unit. Yes, Le’Veon Bell might be down two games due to his penchant for a certain plant, […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 8: The Early Games

It’s starting to become money time in fantasy land – the time for mistakes has passed. If you’re locked in a race for the playoffs right now, the last thing you need is to leave points on the bench or place faith in a guy who is destined to put up a dud. While it’s […]

Titans a High Risk/Reward Unit in Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add as Streamer Defense OWNED IN: 15% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You want a crazy punt play? Here's as crazy as it can get. Brian Hoyer isn't immune to throwing INTs.

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 7: The Early Games

As we approach the halfway mark of the fantasy football season, it's a great time to think about how unpredictable this year has been. Just think of people who drafted Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson, Alfred Morris, Melvin Gordon, Mike Evans, Eddie Lacy or Jimmy Graham with one of their first four picks. How about people […]

Thursday Night NFL Matchups Analysis: Week 7 Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

The Seattle Seahawks defense has allowed game-winning drives in the closing moments of back-to-back games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers. Staring at a 2-4 record and an early matchup with division rival San Francisco 49ers, the quest to appear in three straight Super Bowls is looking shaky. Aside from their real-life scenario, there's also the […]

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well.

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 6)

Everyone was doubting the Bears last week. Not me. I wrote, "I see this being a really close game and a possible upset special pick." If you avoided them and the Ravens, congrats. I thought the Ravens would kill the Browns and when they were up 21-9 it seemed over. The Ravens defense is so bad, […]

Week 6 Deeper Sleepers: All In On Snead

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues.

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 5: The Early Games

One rule I live by hard and fast in fantasy football is to never make any judgments about my team or any players before the first four weeks of the season. Especially now, with abbreviated practices and training camps, the first four weeks are often an extension of the preseason. But with Week 4 officially […]

Week 5 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Last week was our first journey into the bye weeks, with the Pats and Titans getting some rest. But this week, we have four teams sitting out (Dolphins, Jets, Vikings, and Panthers).
