There Are Some New Starting Quarterbacks. Does It Matter?

This was supposed to be the year of the quarterback. The position was deeper than it had arguably ever been, and fantasy owners who usually waited to take a quarterback were extremely excited that they could get the caliber of quarterback late in drafts that were available. But football isn't played on paper and injuries, […]

Inside the Tent - Week 10 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 […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 10

What's worse for a fan base than seeing your rebuilding team field a barely professional football team as they march towards the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft by letting Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 35 times a game? Watching your team pull all of those same overtly tanking maneuvers but then lose […]

Ryan Tannehill Without Primary Weapons Against Chiefs

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will likely be playing without two of his top options in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) has already been ruled out and wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) is doubtful, leaving Tannehill short-handed against the high-powered Chiefs offense. Despite a likely favorable game script […]

Week 10 DFS Cash Game Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Six teams on a bye week mean that we have another slimmed-down 10-game featured slate on DraftKings this week. However, with plenty of bad defenses on the slate, including the Giants, Buccaneers, and Dolphins, there is still plenty of value to be found across the slate. Four games on this slate have a line of […]

Week 10 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 9 in DFS seemed to be the week where chalk plays prevailed. The well-known players with prime matchups came through in big ways. Lineups with Russell Wilson, Christian McCaffrey, and Mike Evans brought home loads of money with their high scoring efforts. But outside of the obvious plays, we once again were served with […]

Ryan Finley Ready For First Start

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ryan Finley will make his first career start against the Ravens on Sunday. The rookie handled himself relatively well during the preseason, compiling a 73.4 completion percentage to go along with three touchdowns and a pick in three appearances. Though the upside is there, fantasy managers should expect the worst and hope […]

Jared Goff Worth The Play

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been inconsistent over the last four games, but he has posted 278.3 passing yards per game. He only has five touchdowns in the stretch, which has contributed to him falling out of the top 20 during the period. The Rams have a midrange matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers […]

Kyler Murray Ready to Fly

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has cooled off of late, but he has still remained a top-10 quarterback in fantasy the last five weeks. That's a little surprising considering that he had games of 220 yards and 104 yards passing, with no touchdowns in the stretch, and his rushing numbers have fallen off. This might […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Be 100% For Sunday

After battling an illness during the week, Lamar Jackson returned to practice on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday. Jackson missed Thursday's practice entirely, but returned in full on Friday, with Head Coach John Harbaugh noting that he "looked good". Jackson may be the overall QB1 this week in a matchup against the […]

Mason Rudolph A Low-End QB2 Against The Rams

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has another tough matchup in Week 10 with the LA Rams. Allowing an average of 20 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the Rams also have sacked the quarterback 23 times. Rudolph threw for just 191 yards on 26 completions in last week's wins over the Colts, so he's not […]

Drew Brees Poised For Huge Game In Week 10

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees draws an excellent home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. In his highly-anticipated return to the field in Week 8, the 40-year-old completed 34 of 43 passes for 373 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. On Sunday, he'll face a struggling Falcons Defense with a full complement […]

Sam Darnold A Risky Option In Week 10

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has a good matchup this week vs the Giants, but will be hard to trust given his play over the past few weeks. Darnold has thrown eight interceptions in his last three games and is only completing 63.2 percent of his attempts on the season. The Giants secondary is […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 10

The fantasy football trade deadline is quickly approaching in many leagues, and it should be stirring some extra heat under some owners. Many are making deals to simply get through Week 10, but more successful seasonal fantasy players are trying to complete trades for the future. If your team has four to five wins after […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Robert Woods, DK Metcalf, Mark Andrews

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 […]

Baker Mayfield Draws Tough Matchup in Week 10

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield heads back home to take on a tough Buffalo Bills pass defense in Week 10. Mayfield and the Cleveland offense has been a disappointment this season and things are unlikely to get much better against a Buffalo pass defense that ranks No. 5 overall in DVOA. Mayfield hasn't shown much […]

Philip Rivers Plays Poorly In Loss

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers only completed 54.8% of his passes in the team's loss on Thursday night, his worst completion percentage of the season. Rivers also threw three interceptions and had a fourth one overturned because of an offsides penalty on the defense. The night culminated in a failed last-minute drive where Rivers […]

Don't Trust Mitch Trubisky Against Lions

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will try and turn around his dismal season in Week 10 against the Lions. The matchup is favorable as the Lions have allowed 10 passing touchdowns to quarterbacks over their last three games. Additionally, Trubisky has fared the best in his career against the Lions among the other NFC North […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 11/9/19

Welcome to week 11 of the college football season! This is LSU @ Alabama week, and it's going to be a fun one. We're focusing on the main slate here, and make sure to check out the late slate article as well. This earlier slate is a blast and there is plenty of offense to […]

Derek Carr Leads Raiders To 26-24 Victory

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr did a commendable job managing the team to a 26-24 victory in a tight divisional matchup on Thursday Night Football. He completed 21 of 31 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown pass as he led the team down the field in separate two-minute drills at the end of each […]

Russell Okung Injured Thursday Night

Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung (groin) suffered a groin injury on Thursday night against the Raiders and didn't return in the second half. Okung had just recently returned from blood clots, so this is just another setback for the team's starting left tackle. If he's forced to miss additional time, it'll be bad […]

Jacoby Brissett Has Some Upside In Week 10

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) remained limited in practice on Thursday, and he's questionable heading into Sunday. If he's able to suit up, you have to have some confidence starting him because of the matchup. The Miami Dolphins have been one of the worst teams in the NFL on both sides of the ball […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Middling QB2 In Week 10

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 220 yards and three touchdowns in Week 9, giving him a sparkling 13/1 TD/INT ratio over his last five contests. Those games came against below-average defenses; Week 10's road matchup against the Dallas Cowboys is quite a different story. The Cowboys Defense has only allowed exactly one quarterback […]

Lamar Jackson Out With Illness Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) missed practice on Thursday due to an illness. Jackson should be good to go as an elite QB1 this weekend against the winless Bengals. The second-year quarterback went 21-for-33 for 236 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions against Cincy back on Oct. 13, but he also ran a season-high […]

Trent Williams Placed On NFI List

The Washington Redskins placed left tackle Trent Williams (head) on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury List on Thursday. Williams ended his holdout but will not play for Washington this year. It's expected that the Redskins will look to trade him in the offseason after the two sides were at odds over how the medical staff handled a […]

Philip Rivers Poised For Big Thursday Night

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers had a quiet game on Sunday where he connected on 75% of his passes but failed to throw a touchdown. That should change on Thursday night when he visits Oakland. The Raiders Defense has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in the entire league, and they've actually […]

Matthew Stafford's Injuries Not Serious

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) is practicing again on Thursday, and it sounds as though his injuries are minor. Stafford is having the best season of his career up to this point, and the Lions should be expected to remain a pass-heavy team with Kerryon Johnson out for the rest of the year. […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Seeking An Encore Performance

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will attempt an encore of his four-touchdown spectacle last Thursday in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. After shredding the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, Garoppolo draws another favorable matchup against the 21st-ranked Seattle pass defense by DVOA. Garoppolo has mixed in promising games with several turnover-filled clunkers and […]

Daniel Jones Is A Risky Streamer Versus Jets

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is a popular streamer this week when he goes "on the road" to take on the New York Jets. However, Jones may not be in as good of a spot as initially thought. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Evan Engram (foot) both likely out for the game, Jones will […]
