Week 12 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Heading into Week 12, let's take a look at a list of the players used the most around the league at their positions. At running back, Dalvin Cook leads the league with 214 rushing attempts, followed by Nick Chubb (201), Chris Carson (200), Christian McCaffrey (199) and Ezekiel Elliott (194). Austin Ekeler and McCaffrey are […]

Holiday Shopping - Who To Buy For The Playoffs Run

As the fantasy football season nears the home stretch, most owners should begin turning their eyes towards the remaining six weeks of the fantasy schedule. Either you're comfortably in the playoffs and need to see who you should be rostering in order to get the best matchups or you need that extra boost to qualify […]

FanDuel, DraftKings MNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 12

Monday Night Football is here, and the Baltimore Ravens (8-2) are heading West for a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams (6-4). The Rams are playing desperately in a tough conference, and the Ravens are arguably the hottest team in the NFL over the last month. However, we're not here for that. We're here to […]

Week 12 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Last week's entree of fantasy choices was supposed to be a filet mignon which turned into a Salisbury Steak. Let’s hope this week doesn’t provide us with the same disappointment. With Baltimore traveling across the country to face the struggling Los Angeles Rams, it looks like another good week for the Lamar Jackson MVP campaign. […]

Lamar Jackson Keeps Getting It Done

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will face a Rams Defense in Week 12 that's given up the 10th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Although the Rams have been stingy against quarterbacks, they have given up 18 plus fantasy points to Andy Dalton, Jameis Winston, and Russell Wilson. He is as matchup-proof as you can get and may be the most dynamic offensive players the […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 12

With only six games remaining in the 2019 regular season and with every team now through their bye-week, we can finally look over a level playing field and truly judge the good from the bad, and the winners from the losers. Well, maybe just the losers. Now with two-thirds of the season passed, it's the […]

Jared Goff Behind The Eight Ball

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been horrendous in poor matchups of late. He'll have an awful one this week against the Baltimore Ravens, which have allowed the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks the last five weeks. Goff is a low-end QB1 at face value, and he is getting wide receivers Brandin Cooks (concussion) […]

Nick Foles Is Just A QB2 Against Titans

In his first game since Week 1, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles had 47 pass attempts, finishing with 296 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He's unlikely to throw as much in Week 12 against the Titans in what's likely to be a low scoring game, so consider Foles to be a solid QB2 option. […]

Kyle Allen Not An Option

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen has really struggled over the last four games. He's 27th in the league in fantasy points during the stretch and has thrown three touchdowns to nine interceptions. Things don't get any easier against the New Orleans Saints this week. They've allowed 241.5 passing yards and 1.5 touchdowns to quarterbacks per […]

Warning Signs Playoff Primer - Quarterbacks

The fantasy trade deadline has passed, all teams should be solidified ready for the playoffs. Therefore, instead of looking at players who crashed and burned, thank you Brian Hill, it is time to look towards players we will be starting in those playoff matchups. Of course, this means looking at the opponents they face in […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Devin Singletary, Benny Snell, N'Keal Harry

Two more weeks left in the regular season, Rotoballers. Two more weeks to fight for a spot in the playoffs. Or if you're lucky and sitting at a 9-2 record (or thereabouts), two more weeks to rub your opponents' faces in your complete and utter dominance of the league. As always, I'm here to shift […]

Inside the Tent - Week 12 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 […]

QB vs Pass Rush Matchups To Watch - Week 12

It's Week 12, and we can't afford to take any losses. We have to go out and put wins on the board with our quarterbacks leading the way. Otherwise, we'll be sitting at home when the playoffs get started, and no one wants to be there. We have several great matchups coming up this week […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Jarvis Landry, Calvin Ridley, Bo Scarbrough

The last couple weeks I have been picking the perfect busts in this column. Unfortunately, they have been for the busts AND the booms. It is time to stick my feet back in the stirrups in the saddle and ride fantasy footballers to playoff berths in their leagues and hundreds of dollars in their DFS […]

Ryan Finley Has A Tough Matchup On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ryan Finley has a tough matchup against a Steelers Defense that has played well recently. The rookie has struggled in his first two starts in the league, throwing two interceptions and only one touchdown to go along with a miserable 47.5 completion percentage. Finley will have to limit his turnovers, including fumbles, […]

Russell Wilson Facing A Tough Matchup

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson didn't put up phenomenal numbers in the team's last game, when they beat the 49ers in overtime, but he did just enough when the game was on the line. This week, he'll be facing a Philadelphia secondary that started out soft but has tightened up as of late. Last week, […]

Tom Brady Could Struggle To Post Numbers In Week 12

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will face a Cowboys Defense in Week 12 that is allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points to opposing passers this season. Brady has only four passing touchdowns over his last five games as his wide receivers are dealing with injuries. The Cowboys have allowed only two quarterbacks this season […]

Mason Rudolph Not An Option Despite Prime Matchup

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph will be without his two top weapons in Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Both James Conner (shoulder) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) will be out in Week 12, leaving Rudolph with an inexperienced bunch around him. After tossing four interceptions against the Browns a week ago, Rudolph has taken […]

Dwayne Haskins An Unsafe Play In Favorable Matchup

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins will take the field Sunday to face a Lions Defense that has allowed six straight quarterbacks to throw for multiple touchdowns. Even Mitch Trubisky is included in this sample. While there's considerable room for optimism regarding Haskins' outlook in this matchup, he has unfortunately shown little to inspire confidence from […]

Sam Darnold Hopes To Continue Strong Play Vs Oakland

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has played better in recent weeks and can be a solid streamer in fantasy for Week 12. Darnold had a four-interception embarrassment on national TV in a Week 7 Monday night loss to the Patriots. However, since then, he's quietly put up solid numbers averaging 250 yards per game […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Q&A for Week 12

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 […]

Ryan Tannehill A Solid Streaming Option In Week 12

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been a QB1 on a points per game basis ever since his insertion into the starting lineup in Week 7. Part of his consistency has come from his willingness to run, with 16 rush attempts through four games. Tannehill and the Titans are coming off a bye week to […]

Drew Brees A QB1 Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will take on the Carolina Panthers at home in Week 12. The 40-year-old has attempted at least 35 passes in four starts and has thrown for multiple touchdown passes in three games this year. The Panthers have a strong pass defense ranked 13th in the NFL and have 39 […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Is A Viable Low-End QB1 In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has thrown four touchdown passes in two of his past three games. This week, Garoppolo and the 49ers face the Packers and there's a chance he'll have the team's top receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and tight end George Kittle (knee) back for the game. Both players are currently questionable […]

Baker Mayfield a Strong Option in Week 12

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been trending up in recent weeks after a brutal start to the season. He finds himself in a fantastic spot in Week 12 as the Browns welcome the Miami Dolphins to Cleveland. Miami's defense has struggled to stop the pass this season, ranking dead last in the league in […]

Josh Allen Is Primed for Another Monster Second Half

Not long ago, Josh Allen was an untested newbie. Allen was drafted in 2018 by the Buffalo Bills and had quite a disappointing start to his career, suffering an injury in Week 7. This came after a rough six-game stretch that whiffed of mediocre quarterback play. His time off the field, however, seemed to bolster […]

Deshaun Watson Bounces Back Against Colts

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson played better against the Colts on Thursday, finishing the night with nearly 300 yards and two touchdowns (one interception) on 19-for-30 passing. After struggling during the Week 11 blowout loss to the Ravens, it was an acceptable showing from the 24-year-old. He has struggled to some degree over his last […]

Jacoby Brissett Gets Into The End Zone On Quiet Night

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had his second straight game with under 150 passing yards in Week 12. He finished the night 16 of 25 for 129 yards. Thankfully for his fantasy owners, he scampered into the end zone on one of his four carries that went for a total of 20 yards. It was […]
