Chargers Could Bench Philip Rivers

The Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly considering benching quarterback Philip Rivers if he continues his current level of play. With a solid backup quarterback waiting in the wings in Tyrod Taylor, the Chargers could choose to see if Taylor's got what it takes to be the team's 2020 starter. Taylor's done a good job during […]

After three games on Thanksgiving, Week 13 rolls on with 11 games on FanDuel's 1 pm (eastern) "main slate."

Break The Slate: DraftKings NFL DFS Lineup Picks - Week 13

*SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE: Hi guys, I've been getting tons of questions on Twitter about the various weather situations on today's slate, so I wanted to drop some thoughts in here. I love weather from a "real football" perspective, but it sure does throw a loop in our DFS process. Check out my thoughts at each […]

NFL DFS Cash Game Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 13)

Let's all celebrate the end of the bye weeks, which means that our Sunday slates go back to being loaded with 13 games. Hang on, what do you mean it's only an 11-game slate?! The only downside of Thanksgiving is that it leaves just 11 games on the featured DraftKings slate for Week 13. That […]

NFL DFS GPP Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 13)

It was yet another odd week in terms of scoring across the DFS slate. The top of the leaderboard among quarterbacks was filled with players that are generally QB2s weekly. Ryan Tannehill, Sam Darnold, and Ryan Fitzpatrick all took plus matchups and excelled in a big way. The money saved on these players as you […]

Week 13 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the bye weeks are officially over and the final march for a championship has begun, streaming becomes a  necessary strategy.

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 13 Lineups

With the fantasy regular season drawing to a close, it is now crunch time for teams as preparations for the playoffs begin. Much of the season we have seen inconsistent play plague some of the upper echelon players around the league. Early round players like David Johnson and Odell Beckham have been large disappointments for […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Kyle Allen, Robert Woods, Kareem Hunt

No byes, no problem this week for fantasy footballers…unless you have more busts in your lineup than booms. This is not the week to be a fantasy turkey. Fantasy leagues are in the last or second-to-last week of their regular seasons, and time is wasting for DFS competitors to make their millions. We also have […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 13) - Targets and Avoids

Week 12 came and went with nary an upset. The biggest upset was the Washington Redskins beating the Lions as 4-point underdogs. The Panthers should have beaten their division rival Saints as 10-point dogs, but Joey Slye missed two extra points and a 28-yard field goal. Survivor pools are desolate at this point in the […]

Jameis Winston A Mid-Range QB1 Against Jags

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston's play has been volatile for the Bucs this season, but he has done more than enough for fantasy owners. Winston is coming off an excellent performance against the Falcons where he completed 18-of-26 passes for 313 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. The interceptions are almost a given for […]

Monday Night Fantasy Football Starts/Sits - Week 13

After two weeks of good-looking games, which turned out to be pumpkins, will we finally get the proper MNF matchups we expect? The 8-3 Vikings are coming off a bye and going into Seattle to play the 9-2 Seahawks. This is a game rife with playoff implications, both in reality and fantasy. Even Adam Thielen ruled […]

Lamar Jackson An Undisputed Start

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson torched the Rams in Week 12 for 169 passing yards, five touchdowns, and 95 yards on the ground. Jackson has a tougher matchup in Week 13 against a stiff 49ers Defense that shut down the Packers last week. The 49ers defense has had their worst performances this season against quarterback […]

Jeff Driskel Heads To Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and signed quarterback Kyle Sloter to the active roster from the Cardinals practice squad in a corresponding move. Detroit also signed quarterback Joe Callahan to the practice squad. Driskel wasn't terrible in a couple outings in place of Matthew Stafford (back), and […]

Comeback Mode: Upside Plays for Post-Thursday Lineup Deficits

On Fridays after a Thursday night game, fantasy owners tend to get anxious if they have fallen behind after one game has wrapped. That is usually an overreaction, as the results of one single game are not a true indication of where their matchup's final score will end up. But after three games have been […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Q&A for Week 13

This article's content may vary week-to-week, but generally, it will be answering questions fielded from either the @RotoBallerNFL twitter account or my personal one (@RotoSurgeon). This week, the focus is on start/sit questions, and there were plenty. Every week, many of us struggle with which quarterback to start, or who to flex, and I am […]

Week 13 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

While most people will be out trying to score deals of a lifetime at their local stores this weekend, some of us are still trying to find a way to get into the fantasy playoffs. It's do-or-die week for many teams with just one week until the fantasy playoffs begin. With your stomachs full of […]

Inside the Tent - Week 13 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 squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Cleveland Rocks (Finally!) - What To Do With the Browns Offense

Sound the alarm. The Browns have won three in a row! After being invigorated last year by the insertion of Baker Mayfield into the starting quarterback spot, the Browns came into this season with oversized expectations. Despite starting the year 2-2, their second win was a 40-25 beatdown of the Ravens, which kept optimism alive. […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 13

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what a champion loser looks like! The Cincinnati Bengals had every reason to accidentally win in Week 12, as the Steelers were without James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and were being led by Mason Rudolph, who proved so ineffective that he was eventually replaced by someone named Devlin Hodges. […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Must Prioritize Ball Security

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a middling QB2 in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens and isn't a recommended fantasy play. Jimmy G has played great lately with 11 touchdowns in his last four contests, but he squares off against the Ravens third-best pass defense by DVOA. Baltimore has been stifling opposing quarterbacks […]

QB vs Pass Rush Matchups To Watch - Week 13

Week 13 is here, and some of you are already locked into a playoff spot. Congratulations to you! We have several great matchups coming up this week while others have matchups that make you want to look in the other direction. If you're in your final regular season week, let's make sure that you have […]

Olabisi Johnson Is The Emergency Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught six of nine targets for 35 scoreless yards in Week 12 and has filled in admirably as the No. 2 receiver in Adam Thielen's (hamstring) absence. Thielen is truly questionable for Monday night's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, recently stating that he won't play at anything less than […]

Andy Dalton Ready To Start Against Jets

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton will return to the starting lineup against the Jets on Sunday. While Dalton hasn't entirely played up to his usual standards this season, he cannot take all the blame for his team's lack of movement in the win column. Things will be challenging for the 32-year-old, however, as New York […]

Russell Wilson Turns 31

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson turns 31 on Saturday, and he'll be set to host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night in a potential playoff matchup. With Seattle at 9-2 and Minnesota at 8-3, the primetime matchup expects to be one of the most watched games of the season. Wilson will be looking to bounce […]

Jacoby Brissett Should Be Faded In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett returned from his knee injury, and he's been quiet in both weeks. His starting wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) is out for this game, and that significantly lowers the ceiling for Brissett, who will be throwing to multiple backups. For much of the first half of the season, Brissett was […]

Kyle Allen Looks To Stay On Track Against Washington

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen has a favorable matchup in Week 13 against a Redskins Defense that is allowing 19 fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers over the last two weeks. Allen struggled through his last four outings heading into Week 12, throwing nine interceptions and just three touchdowns. He turned things around against […]

Devlin Hodges Ready To Start Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges will make his second career start against Cleveland on Sunday. Ducky has appeared in three games this season, logging a 67.5 completion percentage to go along with two touchdowns and a pick. He was a little shaky against Cincinnati after coming in for the underperforming Mason Rudolph, but with a […]
