Jordan Mailata Will Miss Week 3 Matchup Against Dallas

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata (knee) has been ruled out for the team's matchup Monday vs. the Cowboys. While it was reported earlier in the week that Mailata is dealing with a sprained MCL, the team waited until Saturday to make his status official, naming Andre Dillard the starter in his stead. Mailata has […]

Elgton Jenkins Will Miss Week 3 Due To Injury

Green Bay Packers left tackle Elgton Jenkins (ankle) has been deemed inactive for Sunday's contest against San Francisco. Jenkins' absence is a hefty one for the Packers, who will have to counteract a highly skilled 49ers defense. While Green Bay's immediate plan to replace Jenkins isn't clear, Yosh Nijman could step in for his first […]

Tua Tagovailoa Lands On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) has been placed on injured reserve, meaning that he will miss at least the next three games due to the broken ribs that he sustained in Week 2. Tagovailoa had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas, but he will now be sidelined vs. the Colts […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 3

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Last week, we saw Arizona's rookie wideout Rondale Moore go off for seven receptions, 114 yards, and a touchdown. Moore joined fellow rookies Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, […]

Taylor Lewan Expected To Play Against Colts

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee) practiced in full all week and wasn't wearing a brace on his injured knee at all. Head coach Mike Vrabel said he expects Lewan to play in Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts after he injured his knee during warmups and was ruled out before the Week 2 […]

Inside the Tent - Week 3 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy team. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Week 3

In terms of fantasy production, Week 2 featured several games that were expected to have high point totals, but just fell flat. For every matchup like Arizona/Tennessee, there was a game like Chicago/Cincinnati that left a lot of points on the board. Thankfully, everything has a purpose when it comes to fantasy football, so we […]

Offensive Outliers From Week 2 - Coaching Matters

We now enter the second week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 2, we saw stat lines such as the Cowboys running backs combining for 180 rushing yards, the Cleveland Browns wide receivers getting just five targets, […]

Joe Burrow Has A Challenging Week 3 On Tap

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has played better than expected throughout Weeks 1 and 2, especially for a player who sustained a severe knee injury during the 2020 campaign. The former LSU Tiger currently has four touchdowns to his credit, a number that is complemented by a 68.4 completion percentage. While Burrow's three interceptions are […]

Week 3 Busts - Players Who May Disappoint

As we head into Week 3 of the NFL season, we are approaching the time where it is warranted to start panicking about players. We are not there yet, but the next couple of weeks could be critical for the ROS fantasy outlook of many players who have gotten off to a slow start. Listed […]

Teddy Bridgewater A QB1 Streamer Against Jets

Despite what people may say about Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and his reluctance to go deep down the field, he has thrown 18.6 percent of his passes 20-plus yards down the field through two games this season. He ranks second in completion percentage above expectation. It could be because of the poor talent that […]

Ben Roethlisberger Good To Go Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is good to go in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Roethlisberger was taken off the final injury report. Big Ben is pretty tough. We know that. But his left pectoral injury is something to watch in this divisional matchup. […]

Jordan Mailata Unlikely To Play Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata (knee) isn't expected to play on Monday night in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys after he suffered a sprained MCL in practice on Thursday. The injury isn't considered to be long-term, but Andre Dillard is expected to take over on quarterback Jalen Hurts' blind side on Monday night […]

What Will Derek Carr's Impact Be In Week 3?

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is slated to start on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, but his impact in Week 3 is still up for debate. The 30-year-old signal-caller injured his ankle in last week's 26-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and while head coach Jon Gruden told the media earlier this week Carr […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/24/21)

Friday we have four games, headlined by Wake Forest heading up to Charlottesville for a conference tilt with the Hoos. We kick the night off with Middle Tennessee State […]

Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown Questionable For Week 3

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) are listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. Jackson returned to a full practice on Friday and is expected to play after sitting out on Thursday with a stomach bug. He's a must-start high-end QB1 against an 0-2 Lions team […]

Trade Them in Dynasty Before It's Too Late

Last week, I discussed players worth acquiring in dynasty leagues before their stock continued to rise. You can read that article here, as it's still relevant in the dynasty realm. This time, we'll do the opposite and examine a few players to consider moving on from before the rug is pulled from underneath you and […]

Robby Anderson To Be More Involved In Offense?

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson put up a dud on Thursday night for fantasy managers, finishing with just one catch for eight yards. Head coach Matt Rhule said on Friday that the offense "has to find a way to get the ball to Anderson more, he's been open." Sam Darnold attempted 34 passes against […]

Darnell Mooney Questionable Against Browns

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He has been limited all throughout practice this week, so this is something to monitor ahead of kickoff. With Justin Fields now starting at quarterback, Mooney and the entire offense has a […]

Bold Predictions for Week 3

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like excrement at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]

Carson Wentz Will Be A Game-Day Call

The Indianapolis Colts are saying that quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) will be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. Wentz missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday and was looking doubtful to play this Sunday, but his limited practice participation on Friday will at least give him a chance to suit up after […]

Trevor Lawrence A Speculative Streamer In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a questionable streaming option in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Lawrence has struggled in each of his two NFL games to date, and the entire Jaguars offense has looked out of sorts. Through two weeks Lawrence has thrown five interceptions to four touchdowns, and he managed just […]

Tom Brady A Low-End QB1 Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a low-end QB1 against the Rams this week. Brady has been phenomenal to start the season, throwing for 655 yards, nine touchdowns, and two picks in just two games. The 44-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down and this week's contest against Los Angeles could likely be […]

Zach Wilson Avoidable Versus Denver

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson came out strong during his NFL debut, but it came crashing down in Week 2. Wilson threw four interceptions in what was an ugly loss to the New England Patriots in his second career game. Right now, Wilson is giving fantasy managers mixed signals as we head into Week […]

Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown Back At Practice Friday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) both returned to practice on Friday after sitting out on Thursday. Jackson was dealing with a stomach bug on Thursday, but he should be good to go for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions in an excellent matchup. Keep an eye on his […]

Carson Wentz Practicing Friday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) is practicing on Friday, which means that he is still in play to start in Week 3 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans on Sunday. As of Thursday, Wentz was unlikely to play after not practicing at all during the week, but his practice session on Friday at least gives […]

Week 3 Red Zone Alert - Risers and Fallers

Paying attention to which players are used heavily in the red zone is one of the keys to success in fantasy football. I'll be here each week to break down the players at each position who are having the most impact inside the 20 with multiple charts to bring home the points. Before we get […]
