My Top 10 Potential Busts for Week 4

Listen, not every column can be sunshine and rainbows.  We can tell you all about how Julio Jones will score 30 points because he's Julio Jones and of course he will.  Sometimes, you just have to face the grim reality that the players you drafted aren't as good as you thought they'd be (for me, […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 4)

After a miserable week 2, I bounced back going four for four in my picks this past week. All the big favorites won, with a couple small underdogs winning on the road. This the first week of the NFL season where BYEs start coming into play, with New England and Tennessee getting the week off. […]

Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Cam Newton, QB, Panthers Seven total touchdowns against just two turnovers has Cam Newton looking like an early MVP candidate. While the Buccaneers have tightened up their passing defense over the last two weeks, Marcus Mariota’s Week 1 explosion against Tampa Bay still has me convinced that their passing defense is suspect. Newton has produced big […]

Ryan Tannehill, Eli Manning - Week 4 QB Lineup Busts

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins It’s hard to have faith in anyone on the massively disappointing Dolphins offense. Ryan Tannehill has turned the ball over four times already and has only scored in the 20s once this season. With this game being in London and the Jets defense holding fantasy QBs to an average of 9.2 […]

Five Players Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 4

Between the injury bug and a slew of under-performing stars, the first three weeks of the NFL season have been rather troublesome. This week’s warning signals piece is going to focus largely on players we’ve talked about already and whether or not it’s officially time to panic. There are also a few new names on […]

Week 4 Booms and Busts: Late Games

As bye weeks begin around the NFL, it may take a little bit of extra digging to figure out how you will replace the players that are off in your lineup. I am here to try and steer you in the right direction, as I look at players that you may or may not be […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 4: The Early Games

Your team is beginning to take shape after Week 3, as are your postseason hopes. Your success during the first four weeks of fantasy season are often determined by the strength of your draft, your luck with injuries and your fortunes on the waiver wire. Another important factor is picking the right player to start […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Derek Carr may very well be more owned than this column should see, but I'm banking on people chasing the marquee names, especially after Aaron Rodgers' crazy Monday night and the tier of Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Carson Palmer, and even Andy Dalton, drawing a lot of attention. There was a lot of hullabaloo regarding […]

Sam Bradford (QB, PHI) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

When will I ever learn? Well, when the heck will the Eagles learn how to be a cohesive unit? Oh, they play Washington this weekend? Okay. Weather concerns are real, and that's giving me some trepidation about the game in general, not for fear that the game is cancelled (you would have ample heads up), […]

Week 4 Deeper Sleepers: Speculating Green Bay Touches and Bye-Week Fillers

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. The Buffalo Bills are going to be hot commodities (Tyrod Taylor (43%), Karlos Williams (31%) and Charles Clay (33%)) on the waiver wire, but they are too heavily owned for this segment. Plus, if you've been following along, you […]

Welcome to our Week 4 buy low / sell high, where we look to provide fantasy football trade advice.

There’s nothing more frustrating than throwing together a rag-tag collection of […]

The Daily Divide: Week Four DFS

Daily Divide: Week Four Matt and Nathan each offer Week 4 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Matt probably makes more good points than Nathan though, over the long haul, […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Week 4 Lineup Busts?

I thought I was getting out of here without one more crack at my oh so disappointing lineup, didn't I? Oh no, me, I don't get off that easy! That was very confusing. I apologize. Anyways, Luck shows up on this list because the Colts have been exceedingly lackluster this season - and while it's always […]

Peyton Manning (QB, DEN) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Surprise! There's a QB who's been even bustier than Andrew Luck this season - I just now realized that was a terrible way to phrase that and good luck getting THAT mental image out of your head. Peyton "Fivehead" Manning and Andrew "Secretly a Cave Troll" Luck in a wet T-shirt contest. Ugh. Uuuuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhh. Turns out […]

Carson Palmer (QB, ARI) - Week 4 Lineups Busts?

Palmer has played as many hoped he would following last year's torn ACL. The Cardinals passing game has fired on all cylinders this season, and Larry Fitzgerald has risen like a Phoenix (alright, I admit it, the pun was intended). But with all that being said, Arizona has beat up on some pretty bad defenses […]

Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Rivers has come back to Earth after throwing for 404 yards and two touchdowns in his first game of the season against the Lions. Road games against solid defenses in Cincinnati and Minnesota will do that.  But this week the Chargers host the Browns, who just allowed more than 300 yards in the air at […]

Week 4 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

We're back in the mines for Week 4 after an absolutely insane Week 3. Almost every stud and touted mid-range pick went off. I had friends texting me about how their safer cash game lineups would've won tournaments. The DraftKings Milly Maker winner had 301 points. Breathe. I should say that if you haven't yet, go […]

Drew Brees Probable for Sunday, Bench Him?

Drew Brees is officially listed as probable to play on Sunday in the New Orleans Saints Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Dealing with a shoulder injury, Brees missed last week's game against the Carolina Panthers but is likely to return this week as the Saints are in desperation mode looking […]

Will Tyrod Taylor Keep Up His Top Ten Rank in 2015?

In his first game as starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, Tyrod Taylor finished as QB13 in fantasy. He finished as a top five fantasy QB in Weeks Two and Three. Cumulatively, Taylor is currently fantasy’s QB5. The former sixth round wide receiver convert has a 98th percentile SPARQ score has sparked the interest of many […]

FanDuel Picks for Daily Fantasy Football Week 4: DFS Lineup Advice and Sleepers

The first few weeks of the season have been a bit crazy. Late-round rookies are flashing upside while "locks" haven't been playing as well as people would have hoped. Yes, this opening statement is completely about the Bills. In this article, my FanDuel DFS lineup targets, I will be headlining a few of my top plays […]

Andrew Luck Expected to Play vs. Jaguars

Andrew Luck owners have been on the edge of their seats waiting for an update on his status for Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Friday, Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano gave us a little relief by telling the media he's "absolutely" confident that Luck will play Sunday. Fantasy owners were alarmed after they heard […]

English Premier League Predictions - Saturday 3rd October 2015

The latest rounds of EPL fixtures await and beware the dreaded Champions League hangover. Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion A terrible loss for West Brom against Everton, who in the space of 30 minutes went from a projected 7th in the league to 15th, will motivate the Baggies and they will be keen to put […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals

So last week I essentially told you to relax and not worry too much about Andrew Luck. My thinking was that every superstar struggles at some point in the season, and it was likely that we had already seen Luck’s worst two performances of the year. Well, he wasn’t as terrible in Week 3 but it’s […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 4 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

While Hill owners got to watch their running back stand on the sidelines last Sunday, Dalton owners jumped with joy as their QB amassed well over 35 fantasy points. That explosive outing has Dalton at number three overall in terms of the highest-scoring fantasy quarterbacks, behind only Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers - not bad, not bad at […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

A shockingly potent Titans passing attack has Mariota in the top-10 of QBs after three weeks. Given the fact an average fan likely can’t name a single wide receiver on the team, that’s actually really impressive. Mariota has hung around 30 fantasy points each of the last two weeks and has officially solidified himself as a legitimate […]

Michael Vick (QB, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues/2-QB leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: This may seem like a peculiar waiver wire pickup, but hear me out. Ben Roethlisberger is out at least 4-6 weeks with an MCL sprain, which opens a window of opportunity for Vick. He will have a variety of offensive weapons to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The injury bug has hit NFL quarterbacks early this year with the losses of Tony Romo, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, & Jay Cutler forcing fantasy owners to find a replacement.  The good news is there are plenty of decent options on the waiver […]
