Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/14/16)

If there's one lesson to be learned from the events of this past week, it's that we should not put a lot of credence into polls. And no, we're not talking about what happened on November 8. The tops of the BCS, the AP and the Coach's polls were all left in tatters after a […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/7/16)

You don't have to be a history major to know that Ben Franklin once said: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." With all due respect to Franklin, we'd add one thing to his list: that Alabama, Clemson and Michigan are the top three college football teams in […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/31/16)

  It may be Halloween today but, for us, the real scary stuff happened on Saturday. That's because a few teams that had been the bedrock of our Top 10 rankings--and a few others who had been a gleam in our eyes--did the unthinkable and unforgivable... they lost. By the time Brian Hill (a borderline […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/24/16)

We still have a number of undefeated teams vying for top-four spots in the BCS rankings--meaning, one loss effectively ends a team's chances of lifting the only trophy that matters at the end. So, bye-bye Texas A&M, this week's biggest loser--even though there's no shame in losing at Tuscaloosa. And so long Ohio State (well, […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/17/16)

Here at Rotoballer World College Football Headquarters--a place that makes the typical NFL locker room look like the men's room at Penn Station--we've made a bold decision: We are declaring the season over.

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/3/16)

  Mid-term exams came early this fall for a number of the top football programs in the country. There were match-ups between high-ranked opponents--in the Big Ten, the SEC, the Pac-12 and the ACC--with some teams facing their first big tests of the still-young season. And, as with all exams, some passed, and some failed. […]

Week 4 Sits And Starts - Sorensen's Matchup Analysis

I hope your Week 4 starter wasn't Ryan Tannehill or Andy Dalton-- though neither one played absolutely horribly, neither played amazingly. Thankfully, none of the top QBs of this young season was on display in Thursday night’s showcase. But this week, everyone's fear is now starting: bye weeks. Our first victims are the Philadelphia Eagles […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/26/16)

The English majors among us will know the Charles Dickens classic A Tale of Two Cities. For us college football junkies, however, we suggest a more appropriate title: A Tale of Two Halves. Ole Miss had cornered the market for second-half collapses until Week 4, when the likes of Florida and Notre Dame joined them, […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/19/16)

  Comebacks and close calls were all the rage in Week 3, leading to some tumult in the Top 25 in college football. Only a few changes to our Top 10, though. Either we know how to pick 'em or we're just lucky. Below are our CFB rankings after Week 3, from our usual fantasy […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids (Week 2)

It was one of the best opening weekends the NFL has had in some time. Week 1 ended after the ultimate duel between Case Keenum and Blaine Gabbert. They combined to throw for 300 total yards. Astonishing. This highlight doesn’t even show a pass that Keenum completed. Is Jeff Fisher really sure Jared Goff isn’t […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/12/16)

After Week 2 of the college football season, Central Michigan and Western Michigan both look like contenders for the BCS playoffs. Well, no, not really, but teams like the Chippewas (that’s Central Michigan, we think) have put college football’s elites—sometimes with the help of poor officiating—on notice: The meek shall inherit the earth. Or at […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/5/16)

The NCAA’s television partners trumpeted the week that was as the “greatest” opening weekend in the history of college football. In fact, the slate of games lived up to this over-hype, but not for the reasons originally intended. While pundits and pigskin propagandists waxed on (and on) about match-ups between the “Power Five” elites, programs […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (8/22/16)

The 2016 NCAA College Football season starts in two weeks, and we can't wait for the games to begin.

Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson on Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater - "I see greatness"

Adrian Peterson has strong words of encouragement for 3rd year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater, who thus far has seemed to be a better NFL quarterback than a fantasy one, has continuously received praise this summer from coaches and players. It is hard to see how the Vikings offense won't improve on the passing side. A […]

Marcus Mariota and Delanie Walker Make Good Bye Week Fill-Ins vs Saints

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota returns to action today against the New Orleans Saints after a knee injury that caused him to miss two straight games.  Mariota was injured on a controversial play by Miami Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon.  The rookie quarterback was believed to have had a grade two MCL sprain, but a […]

Landry Jones and Martavis Bryant Good DFS Stack vs Chiefs

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter Week 7 with a good matchup against an average Kansas City Chiefs defense.  The Steelers are now starting third string Quarterback Landry Jones, who took over for the injured Michael Vick in last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals.  Jones looked impressive in his debut, throwing for 168 yards and two touchdowns, […]

Should You Start Teddy Bridgewater and Stefon Diggs vs Lions?

Matthew Stafford Benched, Dan Orlovsky Replaces Him

After tossing three interceptions in two-plus quarters, Matthew Stafford was benched for Dan Orlovsky. This season Stafford has really struggled - if he continues this pace, he will have a career high 26 interceptions which is six more interceptions than his rookie season in 2009. While playing against Cardinals in the second half, he did an okay job filling in (191 […]

Ryan Mallet to Remain Starter vs Colts Tonight

Despite being replaced by Brian Hoyer in last week's blowout loss to the Falcons, Ryan Mallet is expected to get the start yet again in Thursday's game against the Colts.  So far Mallet has posted a disappointing completion percentage of 44%, with an overall quarterback rating of 46.8.  He struggled to get things going against the […]

The Cat’s Pajamas: Lions’ TE Brandon Pettigrew Looks to Play On Sunday

While Matthew Stafford—complete with backwards cap and all—might be just arrogant enough to claim he’s the proverbial “cat’s pajamas,” this week, the title belongs to none other than Brandon Pettigrew. Why? Well, though little’s been accomplished in the numbers column, after a heartbreaking Monday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks on a blown-call, Detroit’s looking […]

Ram Down: LB Alec Ogletree Out for the Long Haul

This season has been an up-and-down affair for Rams’ fans.

Today, continuing along with same undulating trend of emotional highs and lows, anyone and everyone involved with the Midwest […]

Andrew Luck To Sit, Matt Hasselbeck a Deep Fantasy Option?

Colts starting quarterback Andrew Luck is officially listed a questionable for Sunday, but according to Chris Mortensen on Twitter, he's expected to sit out the week four contest against the Jacksonvile Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week but the pain is said to be the main issue with his throwing shoulder. Indy looks to […]

Michael Vick (QB, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues/2-QB leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: This may seem like a peculiar waiver wire pickup, but hear me out. Ben Roethlisberger is out at least 4-6 weeks with an MCL sprain, which opens a window of opportunity for Vick. He will have a variety of offensive weapons to […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The injury bug has hit NFL quarterbacks early this year with the losses of Tony Romo, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, & Jay Cutler forcing fantasy owners to find a replacement.  The good news is there are plenty of decent options on the waiver […]

How Ben Roethlisberger's Injury Impacts The Steelers

Are Your Steelers Still Valuable Without Big Ben? The worst nightmare of every Pittsburgh fan (and Ben Roethlisberger owner) became a stark reality Sunday afternoon. Everything about it screamed "season-ending". There was the sack by Mark Barron, illegal but not intentional in nature, vaguely reminiscent of similar tackles which chopped down Carson Palmer and Tom Brady […]
