NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids (Week 8)
We are almost halfway through the football season. Where'd the time go!? Now though, is where the fun begins. Teams begin separating themselves from the pack as they look to make a playoff push. The Bills, Eagles, Jaguars, and Washington are all on bye. For those of you unfamiliar with survivor pools it’s very simple; […]
Week 8 Deeper Sleepers: Replacing Arian Foster
Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. To describe last week's picks in one word... meh. Sure, we hit on Stefon Diggs, but that felt more like a "no duh" pick given how good he looked his first two games. The only […]
Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Consider as cheap QB option in DFS OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Approach this one with caution. Even if he wasn't nursing a shoulder injury, Cleveland Browns starter Josh McCown would be a dicey proposition against an Arizona Cardinals defense that leads the NFL with 12 interceptions. But if you're feeling a bit […]
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and […]
Week 8 Waiver Wire Overview: Darren McFadden, Stefon Diggs, Orleans Darkwa & More
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Eight The seventh Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Miami finally began playing like the uber-talented team they were projected to be, while the Bills continued to struggle in London. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 7 saw a gruesome season ending injury […]
Week 7 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
The most common text I sent this Sunday was “this is by far the ugliest week of football of the year” and I don’t think that’s even up for debate right now. From top to bottom, from Thursday night to Sunday night, nearly every game had some serious flaws. In a weird sort of way, […]
Feeling Lucky? Roll With Hoyer in Week 8
BALLER MOVE: Start as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: How could anyone see the result of this game and want to gamble on Hoyer putting up fantasy points again!? Well, I am apparently foolish enough to do so. With it being the heart of the bye week period, there are […]
Mariota a High Upside Play in Week 8
BALLER MOVE: Start as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone just saw what Ryan Tannehill did to the Texans right? This will be a morally defeated team. Tannehill’s game was an outlier, but this is still a bad defense that was already allowing the 6th most points to opposing QBs […]
Alex Smith a Safe Bye Week Play in Week 8
BALLER MOVE: Play as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I really wanted to recommend Derek Carr again, but I just can’t do it against the Jets. So I am settling for Alex Smith. All things considered, I felt Smith played very well against the Steelers in Week 7 without Jeremy […]
Cutler a Cut Above Other Bye Week Options
BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 39% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jay Cutler is returning from a bye-week, just in time to cover yours. Cutler hasn't been killing it this year but has been able to put together some high end QB2 performances since returning from injury. This week he'll face the […]
Week 8 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Alex Smith, Marcus Mariota & Brian Hoyer
Week 7 was the best week for the article yet! All three QBs produced QB1 days with at least 19 fantasy points. It was particularly ugly for Brian Hoyer who had a completion rate below 50% and racked up points after the Texans went down by 41 at halftime. Hey, I don’t care how my […]
