Putting Matt Ryan on Ice

Not long ago Matt Ryan was posting top-tier numbers. By "not long ago" I mean no further than six weeks ago, which is to say, half of the games already played this season. Back then we were discussing Ryan as a great fantasy quarterback, one of the best in fantasy football in fact. Then, bad […]

Offensive Line Rankings Analysis: Week 13

Happy Holidays! Moving onto Week 13, the outcome of your season-long leagues is now taking shape and you know if you are in the playoff race or not. Therefore, who you can rely on becomes more and more important, with the games meaning much more with each passing week. However, many fantasy owners completely overlook […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Matt Ryan, Deebo Samuel, D.J. Moore

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

David Blough Expected To Start Thursday Over Jeff Driskel

The Detroit Lions are expected to start rookie David Blough on Thursday against the Bears, according to sources. Jeff Driskel (hamstring) is too sore to start, but he's expected to serve as the backup. Driskel is nothing special, but he at least offered some rushing ability with his legs as a low-end QB2. Both Kenny […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Bye weeks are finally over and by now you likely know if you are a contender, a pretender or a bubble team in your fantasy leagues. At this point in the season, you can still benefit from the waiver wire though, whether you're looking for an injury replacement, high-upside flex play, or smart stash for […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 13 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Dwayne Haskins Not Worth The Risk In Week 13

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins has done nothing to earn the trust of fantasy owners, and a matchup with Carolina on Sunday doesn't lend itself to any uptick in optimism. Haskins has committed five more turnovers than he's thrown touchdown passes, and has been held completely scoreless in two of his three starts. The Panthers […]

Drew Brees A Strong Start Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will take on the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup. The 40-year-old put up a dud in his first game against Atlanta back in Week 10, failing to throw any touchdown passes. After a brief midseason turnaround, the Falcons Defense allowed Jameis Winston to throw for over […]

Jeff Driskel, T.J. Hockenson Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) and rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) are both questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bears. Driskel was limited in practice all week, while Hockenson got in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring any late setbacks, we'd expect both players to suit up on Thanksgiving. In a tough matchup […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Play On Turkey Day

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Bears on Thursday. It will be his fourth straight missed game, but Stafford does want to return to play in 2019 when he's cleared by doctors. With the fantasy playoffs starting next week in […]

Drew Lock, Brandon Allen To Split Reps This Week

Denver Broncos president John Elway said that quarterbacks Drew Lock (thumb) and Brandon Allen will split the repetitions in practice this week. Lock remains on Injured Reserve, but he can be activated at any time. The Broncos will decide a starter for Week 13 against the Chargers by Friday, and it could very well be […]

Josh Allen Is A Low-End QB1 Option In Week 13

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen ended up with a decent fantasy game in Week 12, despite facing a tough Broncos Defense. This week, he'll be tested again, with a road game against a tough Cowboys pass defense. Allen has scored multiple touchdowns in seven straight games and he has over 50 rushing yards in two […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Thanksgiving - Daily Fantasy Football

Happy Thanksgiving, RotoBallers. There are three games on the agenda on Thursday to kick off Week 13. While it is hard to be thankful for the Bears and Lions, it is a little easier to get excited for the other two contests of the day. Before stuffing your face, be sure to keep up with […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a rough game in Week 12 against the Buccaneers. He was sacked six times in the game, had a season-low completion percentage of 50% and failed to score a touchdown. This week, Ryan faces the Saints, who he played just three weeks ago. In his last matchup against the […]

Dynasty Quarterbacks: 2020 Rookie Class Preview

With the injury suffered by Tua Tagovailoa in Alabama's recent game against Mississippi, it feels like a good time to evaluate the top tier of college quarterbacks who are preparing to enter the NFL. While one or two of these players may not declare, it's more likely the injury to Tua nudges more of them -- […]

Thanksgiving Thursday Matchups Analysis - Week 13 Starts/Sits

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Deshaun Watson and his motley crew of pass catchers helped to propel the Texans to an AFC South-leading 7-6 record after pulling out a victory over the Indianapolis Colts last Thursday. DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller combined for over 200 receiving yards and two scores in the win. On the other […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 11/28/19 (Showdown)

We only have one game on Thursday night, and it’s a showdown rivalry between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. We're looking at a 58 over/under with Mississippi State favored by just two points. It'll be a fun game and there should be plenty of offense on each side. This game is likely to be pretty […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 13

The final regular season game has arrived for all reasonable fantasy football leagues. If you've already locked up a playoff spot, congratulations! If you're still fighting for a spot, please don't neglect your waiver wire this week. In do-or-die scenarios you need to obtain any extra edge you can, even if that's just a slightly […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 13

With Week 12 mostly in the books, bye weeks are finally behind us, and the need for quarterback fill-ins should taper off significantly. That means less competition on waivers for those of us who prefer to stream quarterbacks, which is great news because we've got some exciting options this week that should be easy to […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m afraid we’ve seen the last pass of Marcus Mariota as a Titan. Ryan Tannehill started his fifth game this year against Jacksonville on Sunday and although he kept it quiet in terms of volume, his efficiency was massive. On just 18 attempts, […]

Tough To Trust Tom Brady Against Texans

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hopes to have more of his offensive weapons back in Week 13 against the Texans. The matchup is certainly favorable, as the Texans Defense is allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing passers this season. Houston has allowed three or more touchdown passes to five different quarterbacks, which […]

Mitch Trubisky Has Appetizing Turkey Day Matchup

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will face a Lions Defense for the second time this season on Thanksgiving to kick off Week 13. Trubisky tossed three touchdowns against the Lions in Week 10 and Detroit's defense is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing passers this season. Trubisky has been one of the worst […]

Carson Wentz Gets to Take on the Dolphins in Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz gets the privilege of taking on the Miami Dolphins in his Week 13 matchup. Although he's dealing with a bruised hand, Wentz is not expected to miss any time. The same cannot be said of plenty of other Eagles offensive players though, as Jordan Howard, Alshon Jeffery, and Nelson Agholor […]

Dak Prescott Has Another Tough Matchup on Thanksgiving

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is facing another tough challenge on Thanksgiving, taking on the Buffalo Bills Defense. Coming off a season-low 212-yard, no touchdown performance against the New England Patriots, Week 13 isn't looking like the get-right matchup Prescott was hoping for. The Bills defense hasn't been as good as the Patriots Defense of […]

Brandon Allen (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Allen had a day to forget this past Sunday against Buffalo. That was against the third-best defense in the league against QBs, though, which keeps the hopes at least a bit alive for the rest of the season. Allen could only complete 10 […]

Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 12, several high-end quarterbacks had terrible games due to rainy and/or windy conditions. It was both windy and rainy in the Boston area on Sunday which contributed to both Tom Brady and Dak Prescott finishing with less than 12 fantasy points. There were stiff winds in Philadelphia and as a result, Russell Wilson came […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 13)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Jared Goff Stinks Up The Place

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had his third miserable game in a row in a 45-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens Monday night. He was 26-for-37 for 212 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in the three-game stretch and thrown five picks. Goff will have a great matchup […]

Lamar Jackson Torches Rams In MNF Debut

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson went on a touchdown frenzy in Monday Night's Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Jackson completed 15-of-20 passes for 169 yards and five touchdowns. He added 95 yards on eight carries on the ground. During the second quarter, Jackson had a 36-yard scamper where he slipped a yard […]
