Asmir Begovic – Goalkeeper – Chelsea – 5.0m Season Stats: 307 Minutes Played, 1 Clean Sheet, 7 Goals Conceded, 17 Saves Premier League Points: 13 (T-18th Ranked Goalkeeper) Week 7 Fixture: (A) vs. Newcastle: […]

Barclay's Premier League Week 7 - Saturday Previews And Predictions.

It's week 7 of the EPL and, unlike last week's warning as to a Champions League hangover plus our prediction that West Ham would take all three points at Manchester City, no similar warnings from the midweek League Cup action where most EPL sides make changes and rest up varying members of their first team squads. This week […]

Peyton Manning (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs

Manning was on my sell high list last week, and despite a strong showing against the Chiefs he remains here. The success of the Broncos’ passing game on Thursday largely falls on the receivers and not the QB. Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders kept the offense afloat all on their own, and even managed to effectively […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 3: Risers and Fallers From Week 2

Two weeks are now in the books, and there’s more than enough to react to. Most importantly, keep your wits about you--look at who each team has gone against and who they’re about to face. For instance, Lamar Miller is a pretty clear “faller” due to his performance and now an injury, but he gets […]

Trade Advice: Week 3 Buy Lows, Sell Highs for Fantasy Football

Welcome to our Week 3 buy low / sell high, where we look to provide fantasy football trade advice. With Week 2 now in the books, breakouts and busts are beginning to surface as teams begin to approach mid-season form. Some of those busts will stay busts, but others could see rapid turn-arounds. Inversely, some of […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 3 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 3 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings Targets. An introduction is not really all that necessary, as the title of this DFS article pretty much sums up what is going to be discussed. It's important to identify players with good match ups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings' […]

Sam Bradford, DeMarco Murray, Nelson Agholor (PHI) - Fantasy Football Fallers

We’ll use the same blanket blurb that the Broncos deserved last week, and the Saints might have been here but the Eagles then fell on their faces in the afternoon games. Seriously though, people are (rightfully) pulling their hair out. Chip Kelly noted that the entire offense is under the microscope, and no one is safe. […]

Week 3 Quarterback Rankings & Matchups Analysis

Below you will find our Week 3 quarterback rankings, to help determine your WR starts/sits for this week, brought to you by Edward Gorelik (@EdwardGorelik) and Zach Wilkens (@LopsidedTrades).

Thursday Night NFL Matchups Analysis: Week 3 Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

Is Eli Manning still an elite quarterback? Just kidding, that discussion is not happening here nor should it ever be a click-bait worthy headline ever again. Manning and the Giants host the Washington Redskins in this week’s Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 3 of the NFL season. As usual, below are some of the key […]

NFL Survivor League Picks - Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 3)

NFL Doomsday has come and gone. Hopefully that will be the last week of its kind this season. If you were one of the lucky to survive this brutal week 2, congrats. Nothing to be ashamed about if you lost this week as more than 80 percent in the ESPN Eliminator Challenge lost in week 2. […]

The Effect Of Tony Romo's Injury (Joseph Randle, Jason Witten & Brandon Weeden)

One broken right foot. One broken left clavicle. One broken offense for fantasy owners to, by and large, avoid. The injuries suffered in consecutive weeks by wide receiver Dez Bryant and quarterback Tony Romo have all but drained the fantasy productivity expected from Dallas. Two words on Romo's replacement Brandon Weeden: stay away. Do not take a […]

Brandon Weeden (QB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team / 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Yeah, so you're probably not going to want to be scrambling quickly to the waiver wire for a guy like Brandon Weeden. If you are in a deeper league that plays two quarterbacks and lost a guy like Tony Romo […]

Week 3 Sleepers: Last Call for Tyrod Taylor, Hedging Eddie Lacy

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Matt Jones (42%) and Dion Lewis (32%) make for great FAAB claims, but they're too heavily owned for this segment. Week 2 was not easy on a lot of fantasy teams. Carlos Hyde and Eddie […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 3 Waiver Wire Targets

The days after Week 2 can be critical to your year-long success in fantasy football. Starting your season 0-2 means you might need to open up to more risks, and this is a week where you can make a splash on the waiver wire to plug those lineup holes. Perhaps you were bitten by the […]

Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Foles didn’t work out against the Redskins in Week 2, but the Steelers have been absolutely crushed by quarterbacks in the first two weeks of the fantasy football season. The Steelers are dead last in pass coverage, as graded by Pro Football Focus, […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: On Sunday, Bortles had one of the best games of his young career in a win over the Dolphins. He played a mistake-free game, and most importantly he wasn’t sacked a single time. This was especially surprising considering Bortles had been sacked […]

Johnny Manziel (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Manziel’s Week 2 performance versus the Tennessee Titans was a strange but pleasant surprise. Manziel didn’t have any big runs, but found Travis Benjamin deep for two separate 50 yard+ touchdowns. That combined with no interceptions gave Manziel a serviceable fantasy day. […]

Week 2 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

If you managed to weather the storm of Week Two’s brutal injuries and dud performances to the tune of a win, congratulations. If, like me, you were let down by your studs (I’m looking at you, Brandin Cooks and Mike Evans), my sincerest condolences. Between a slew of quarterback setbacks and random disappointments, the second […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston had just about as bad a debut as you can have. He had a -9.3 ProFootballFocus grade, which is tragic. Week 2 saw Winston square up with the crummy New Orleans Saints defense, and if he didn't perform well, I'd […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues and as Romo/Brees/Stafford replacement. OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Joe Flacco did well yesterday in a shootout with the…Oakland Raiders. While the Raiders secondary should be gashed, he still had to actually perform. Flacco went against a good Broncos defense in Week 1, and this scared some people […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Tyrod Taylor is turning into a grown man. Tyrod Taylor looked like the victim of gameflow in Week 1 when the Bills jumped out to an early lead against the Colts, and the beneficiary of it in Week 2 when Taylor needed to […]

Spanish La Liga - Week 4

The midweek Champion's League fare had a record five Spanish teams in action with Sevilla, Real and Atletico Madrid all notching up victories, Barcelona leaving Rome with a point and Valencia stumbling at home to Zenit. The question was, would any of the Iberian contingency experience a kind of post Euroepan hangover. The answer was yes. […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m finally there. I’m in the camp of the Red Rocket. I started him in a 12-team league on Sunday, and was handsomely rewarded to the tune of 214 yards, three touchdowns and zero turnovers. Dalton has played remarkably well through two games, totaling […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel

Let’s start off with a quick Week 2 review, where I was 2-of-3 on my QB wavier wire picks. Colin Kaepernick had a huge day like I expected, and the Steelers secondary continues to look dreadful. You can feel pretty good about playing QBs against them almost every week. Tyrod Taylor remained available in plenty […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Three The second Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Somehow the Jaguars beat the up and coming Dolphins prompting Miami fans to call for the axing of another head coach, and Peyton reminded us that he doesn't need a good arm to make plays. And the best part […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week Three Lightning Round

But in efforts of bringing you timely information, as fast as possible, consider this the Week 3 waiver wire lightning round.

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add as Streamer or QB2 for Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor racked up 195 yards passing, and a sweet deep ball TD to Percy Harvin, in the Bill thumping of the Colts in Week 1. Perhaps more importantly, Taylor was able to rack up 41 yards on the ground making him […]
