Quarterbacks & Tight Ends Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 7
There's been the good, the bad and the ugly through six weeks of NFL action. More specifically, there's been a slew of quarterbacks and tight ends who have broken your heart repeatedly. Whether it's been inconsistent play for weeks, or just one or two weeks of struggles, the players listed below have all put out warning […]
Blake Bortles and Allen Hurns Look to Stay Hot vs Bills
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles and wide receiver Allen Hurns have been big surprises to fantasy owners so far this season. Bortles has managed to throw seven touchdowns in his last two games, giving him 13 total on the season. Hurns, meanwhile, has caught a touchdown pass in his last four games, while also catching […]
Euro 2016 - The Playoff Picture
Although it doesn't commence until June of next year, the Euro 2016 tournament continues to deliver a seething expectation, and not only because of its new format, but also because we are yet to know who the full compliment of participating countries will actually be. Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of our […]
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 […]

To Start, Or Not? Colin Kaepernick Is The Ultimate Coin Flip
It really hasn't been that long since most of the football world was talking about the future greatness of Colin Kaepernick. In his first two years as the starting QB for the 49ers, he took the team deep into the playoffs. He helped out many fantasy owners in that time as well. Unfortunately, Kaepernick hasn't […]
Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
The Jaguars (1-5) still haven't turned into a winning NFL team, but Blake Bortles has looked like a solid fantasy quarterback. His 242 pass attempts on the season are third-most in the NFL. This season Bortles has been a quality option in every game after a sub-par Week 1, due in large part to the […]
2015 Fantasy Football Week 7: Risers and Fallers From Week 6
Week 6 is in the books and we have further confirmation that Devonta Freeman is good, DeAndre Hopkins is really good, and Andy Dalton deserves to be taken seriously. We're getting awfully close to the midway point in the season, and it's time to really look at some recent trends and determine how legitimate they are. […]

EPL Matchday Nine: Match Of The Week Review
Newcastle United 6-2 Norwich City Wijnaldum Scores Four – Magpies Blowout the Canaries for First Victory of the Season Sunday, October 18th @ St. James’ Park Sunday is usually a day of rest – a sentiment the defenses certainly put into practice at St. James’ Park this past weekend. Despite being the only game on […]
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading. We saw Jeremy Maclin (concussion), Keenan Allen (hip), Sammy Watkins (ankle), Allen Robinson (knee), and others leave their games early. This meant […]
Week 7 Waiver Wire Overview: James Starks, Christine Michael & More
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Seven The sixth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Carolina did what few have been able to do in recent years and completed a comeback win against the Seahawks in their own stadium, while the Chargers fell just short of stopping the Packers win streak. And there's still […]
Week 7 Deeper Sleepers: Time to Take Stefon Diggs Seriously
Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Last week resulted in mixed success for those that followed along. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ben Watson, and Minnesota D/ST were excellent plays, while Willie Snead had a mediocre game and DeVante Parker was invisible (again). […]
Harvard Grad Ryan Fitzpatrick A Smart Play in Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: "Fitzmagic" had a rushing touchdown in Week 6, but he still would have been considered a success without it. The Jets have two great receivers to throw to and that has allowed Fitzpatrick to avoid a bad fantasy day all season. […]
Derek Carr Has Top 10 Potential in Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Fill-In OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Carr is probably only eligible to be written about in this column for one week. He was above 50% before being understandably dropped from many teams during his bye. Carr has played well this season. He had three straight games with […]
Go Big or Go Home with Landry Jones in Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Landry Jones' viability as a waiver pickup obviously hinges on whether or not Ben Roethlisberger is ready to return this week. If not, here's all that needs to be said about Jones: he plays on an offense that has Le'Veon Bell, […]
Brian Hoyer a Diamond in the Rough for Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Streamer OWNED IN: 13% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I talked up Brian Hoyer last week, along with his Week 7 opponent Blake Bortles, and both players finished amongst the top 10 scorers in standard QB scoring. Hoyer's going to be up here for another week as he's facing the Dolphins next. DVOA […]
Week 7 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Derek Carr, Ryan Fitzpatrick & Brian Hoyer
The Week 6 QB streams gave us two big hits and one miss. The miss was Teddy Bridgewater, as the Vikings did not come out of the bye swinging like I hoped. Blake Bortles was a big hit once again. Even though he had three interceptions, it did not hurt his fantasy performance. Bortles has […]
Week 6 Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Start 'em, Sit 'em
Monday Night Matchups Analysis Players We Love Josh Huff, WR, Eagles - Huff will be getting the bump up across the board with Nelson Agholor out. Huff has played sparingly this year with only eight receptions for 117 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Giants are still one of the leagues worst pass defenses and are […]

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. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]
Week 6 Booms and Busts: Late Games
Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options. Below are my Week 6 lineup picks for players that can be booms and […]
Potential Booms and Busts for Week 6: The Early Games
It’s hard to believe that it’s already Week 6 and the NFL season is nearly a third of the way over. The fantasy football season is nearly halfway over, with the majority of postseasons beginning on Week 13 or 14. Whether you’re 0-5, 5-0, or anywhere in between at this point, you still have a […]
