Trevor Lawrence A Low-End QB2 Against Denver

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence projects as a low-end QB2 play in Week 2 at home against the Denver Broncos. Lawrence is best left on most benches in one quarterback formats after the rookie and the rest of his teammates struggled to get much going against a poor Texans defense in Week 1. Lawrence's talent […]

Brian Hoyer Promoted From Practice Squad

The New England Patriots signed quarterback Brian Hoyer to a one-year deal on Saturday that promotes him from the practice squad to the active roster, according to a source. Jarrett Stidham (back) is out through at least Week 6 with an injury, so the veteran Hoyer should serve as rookie Mac Jones' backup under center […]

Week 2 Red Zone Alert - Risers and Fallers

We finally have a week of data.  So was Week 1 a trend or an aberration? We can look at last year's red-zone stats and see if players are continuing on a path or trailblazing a new one, be it good or bad. Let's begin with a look back at the top red-zone passers and […]

Inside the Tent - Week 2 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 […]

Sam Darnold Faces Tough Matchup Against Saints

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is not a strong start this week against the Saints. The former Jet fared well against his old team last week, posting 279 yards and a touchdown. Nevertheless, this week he faces a New Orleans defense that held last year's MVP Aaron Rodgers and his team to a measly three […]

Did you think our college football DFS coverage was done for the day? Just because most of the world goes to bed before the late night slate doesn't mean that I do! College football addicts and DFS degenerates unite! We've got a nice four-game late night snack for you on DraftKings. It's not over until […]

Tom Brady A Strong Option Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady gets a great matchup against the Falcons in Week 2. Brady did have two turnovers but otherwise put together a strong game against the Cowboys, throwing for 379 yards and four scores. The Falcons offense may not be able to keep pace with the Buccaneers, meaning less volume- though […]

Derek Carr Up Against Another Tough Defense In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is looking to keep his team undefeated as he faces off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. The 30-year-old veteran is coming off an impressive Week 1, having completed 34 of 56 passes for 435 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in last Monday's dramatic 33-27 overtime […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/18/21 Primetime)

Our Saturday prime time slate is a little bit bigger than in week 1. We don't have the top-five matchup that the opening week had, but we do have some intriguing matchups. All 16 teams are part of FBS, so there are more knowns than unknowns. We kick this off with South Carolina heading to […]

Tyrod Taylor On The Streaming Radar Once Again In Week 2

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor draws a favorable matchup against his former team, the Cleveland Browns, in Week 2. Taylor excelled in his first start as a Texan, throwing for 291 yards and two scores through the air while adding 40 yards on the ground against Jacksonville. Cleveland's defense surrendered more fantasy points per game […]

Deshaun Watson Ruled Out For Week 2

The Houston Texans have ruled out quarterback Deshaun Watson for the second straight week in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. Watson will continue to be a healthy scratch for the Texans all season as his legal process plays out while facing 20-plus lawsuits for sexual assault. As a result, he's off the fantasy radar […]

Jedrick Wills Questionable For Home Opener

Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills (ankle) is questionable for Week 2 against the Houston Texans after getting injured in the Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He did not practice all week. Chris Hubbard (triceps), Wills' primary backup, has already been ruled out for this Sunday. If Wills is unable to play, […]

Kirk Cousins To Face Cardinals Pass Rush

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will go up against a fierce Cardinals front seven in Week 2. Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones racked up five sacks in Week 1 and now will face a shaky Vikings offensive line. Cousins rallied last week to pass for 351 yards and two touchdowns in the team's overtime loss […]

Chargers Place Bryan Bulaga On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga (back) on Injured Reserve on Friday and signed offensive lineman Michael Schofield in a corresponding move. Bulaga injured his back in the Week 1 win over the Washington Football Team and will miss at least the next three weeks. With Bulaga out, expect Storm Norton to […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Matchup In Week 2

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa gave an underwhelming performance during the season opener. He completed 16-of-27 passing attempts for 202 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the win over the New England Patriots. The tough matchups continue for Tagovailoa as he gets the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. A defense that allowed the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Has A Great Matchup In Week 2

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater didn't exactly raise eyebrows in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants, but he got the job done by going 28-for-36 for 264 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Bridgewater prefers short passes as opposed to challenging defenses deep down the field, as his longest completion in Week […]

Josh Allen Should Rebound Versus Dolphins

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was fairly average during the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He threw for 270 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the loss. Allen gets another tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins secondary that allowed the second-fewest passing touchdowns last season. Despite that, Allen has a stacked set […]

Mac Jones Has Excellent Matchup Versus Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones looked sharp during his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. He threw for 281 yards and one touchdown in what ended up being a close loss. This time around, Jones will get a much easier matchup against the New York Jets defense. A unit that allowed […]

Early-Season Dynasty Trade Targets

After one week of NFL action, the fantasy overreaction is already at a critical mass. Seasoned dynasty league managers have learned to take a patient, long-term approach to roster construction. Others are in the business of making knee-jerk reactions and filling their trade block with underperforming players from the results of a single game. We […]

Daniel Jones Has Two Totals TDs, Rushes For 96 Yards

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22-of 32-passes for 249 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding 95 rushing yards and another score on nine attempts in Thursday's 30-29 loss to the Washington Football Team. He put the Giants on the scoreboard with a six-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The […]

Taylor Heinicke Throws For 336 Yards In Win

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke finished with 336 passing yards and two passing touchdowns in Thursday night's 30-29 win over the New York Giants. The dual-threat didn't rely too much on his rushing ability in this game, as he only had six rushing yards on four attempts. Heinicke has proven to be a viable […]

Adam Humphries Catches Seven Passes

Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries caught seven passes for 44 yards on eight targets in Thursday night's win against the New York Giants. Humphries was relied upon to be a security blanket for Taylor Heinicke, as he has potentially stepped into a significant role in the Washington offense with Curtis Samuel out of […]

Terry McLaurin Catches 11 Passes, Finds The End Zone

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught 11 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in Thursday night's 30-29 win against the New York Giants. McLaurin seems to be building a solid rapport with quarterback Taylor Heinicke, much to the delight of fantasy managers. The third-year stud had a tough matchup […]

Jared Goff A Risky Play Against Packers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff will have a tough Week 2 test against a Packers defense looking to put its collapse against the Saints behind them. Goff shook off a first half pick-six to pass for 338 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 41-33 loss to the 49ers in Week 1. The Packers defense […]

Giants Lineman Nick Gates Suffers Leg Fracture

New York Giants offensive lineman Nick Gates was carted off the field in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Washington Football Team with a fractured leg. Gates had been starting at center for the team, but slid over to left guard for Thursday's game after the Giants had traded for Billy Price. New […]

Mekhi Becton Will Have Surgery On Wednesday

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) will surgery on Wednesday and is expected to miss four to eight weeks. One of the most promising young tackles in the NFL, Becton's extended absence will hurt the Jets offense, with both the passing game -- led by rookie quarterback Zach Wilson -- and the running game […]

Week 2 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

After Week 1 of the NFL season, fantasy managers might be panicking on some top players like Ezekiel Elliott, but it is important to realize that it is a long season. It would be nice to start the fantasy season on a tear, but it isn't the end of the world if players come out of […]

Justin Herbert Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will draw a favorable matchup versus the Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 2. Herbert drew a tough Washington Football Team defense in Week 1, but looked good and completed 26 of 40 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown with one interception. In his second year in the league, […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/18/21 Early)

Ben Roethlisberger A High-End QB2 In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will face off against the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 2 after he threw for just 188 yards and a touchdown last week. Roethlisberger draws a plus matchup against a Raiders defense that struggled to defend the pass in 2020, ranking sixth in most fantasy points per game […]
