Washington Don't Expect To Have Chris Thompson

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) is not expected to be available for Week 12's meeting with the Lion. While Thompson returned to practice this week, it doesn't appear he'll be ready to play his first game since Week 6. Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson will lead the backfield against Detroit, with Guice expected […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 12 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 12 is here (already), and FanDuel has 11 games available on the "main slate." With the temperature dropping and the weather getting nasty in cold-weather cities, favorable conditions are a factor more than ever. Tampa Bay at Atlanta leads the slate from a Vegas perspective with a projected overall score of 54 points. With […]

Break The Slate: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Week 12

Hello again friends! If you've had a chance to look at this slate, then you are probably aware that it is a tough one. Bad players, bad matchups, and bad DFS pricing unfortunately seems to be the theme of Week 12. However, we are all working from the same player pool, which means can still […]

Adrian Peterson Expected To Play Against Detroit

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) is expected to play against the Lions in Week 12. Peterson saw his second-fewest rushing attempts of the year in Week 11 and played just 26 percent of the team's offensive snaps with Derrius Guice back, and there's no reason to expect that usage to change this week. […]

Week 12 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the bye weeks are in full swing, streaming becomes a more viable and almost necessary strategy. Knowing who to add and when to start them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup. Making the right streaming decisions throughout the season could easily be the difference between missing the playoffs and having […]

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 […]

Jordan Howard Unlikely To Play Against Seattle

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) is unlikely to play against the Seahawks in Week 12. With Howard sidelined, expect to see a heavy dose of Miles Sanders in this one, who should dominate the backfield touches for the Eagles. Jay Ajayi lurks in the background, but Sanders is the only running back in […]

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. […]

Gus Edwards Should Have A Limited Role In Week 12

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards busted a 63-yard run on his way to 112 yards off of just eight carries in Week 11. In Week 12, Edwards and the Ravens face a Rams Defense that's giving up just 3.3 yards-per-carry, which makes it unlikely that Edwards repeats his performance from Week 11. Over his last four games, Edwards […]

Mark Ingram Has A Tough Matchup Against The Rams

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram has a difficult matchup in Week 12 against a tough Rams Defense that's only giving up 3.3 yards-per-carry, which is second-best in the NFL. Although the Rams are very strong against the run, that might not impact Ingram very much because he has only received 15 carries in one of his last five […]

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 […]

Malcolm Brown Should Stay On Bench

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown vultured a touchdown last week, but it was the first time that he had a useful fantasy day since Week 1. Brown is not an option against the Baltimore Ravens. It's a poor matchup, and he's really just insurance for owners of running back Todd Gurley.

Todd Gurley A Great RB2

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley put the team on his back last week en route to a much-needed victory. He rushed 25 times for 97 yards and a touchdown and caught three balls for 36 yards. The team game planned around him because two receivers were out, but they are back this week. […]

Leonard Fournette Is Solid Week 12 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had 66 rushing yards on 15 carries and 26 receiving yards on six catches in Week 3 when the Jaguars faced the Titans. In the rematch, Fournette projects to be a solid fantasy option, even if his recent struggles -- 63 combined rushing yards in his last two games […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Tough Draw

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey has been a fantasy MVP frontrunner through the first 11 weeks. He has 40 more fantasy points than the next back or receiver in point-per-reception leagues and trails only Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for the most points in fantasy. He has a tough week ahead of him as […]

Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 12

We are one the final stretch to the playoffs, meaning it is time to get your roster in shape for a playoff push and championship run. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a touchdown, so those touches are […]

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 […]

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 […]

Joe Mixon Continues To Find His Stride

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon scored his first rushing touchdown of the season against Oakland in Week 11 and should have another sizable role on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 23-year-old has turned it up as of late, recording a touchdown in three of his last four appearances. With rookie quarterback Ryan Finley […]

Chris Carson Continues To Be The Work Horse

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson should be plenty rested after getting a week off for the bye, but he's still putting in an unheard of amount of work this season. Carson is on pace for 320 carries this year, the most by a Seattle running back in nearly 15 years. While that's great for […]

Sony Michel Should See Plenty Of Touches Against Cowboys

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel should see plenty of carries in the team's Week 12 battle against the Cowboys on Sunday. Whether Michel can produce with his opportunities is another question and will face a Cowboys Defense that is allowing the 15th most fantasy points to opposing backs. They have allowed three rushing […]

Jaylen Samuels An RB3 Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels can be considered an RB3 in PPR formats for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. James Conner (shoulder) is officially not playing, so Samuels will likely share time with Trey Edmunds and rookie Benny Snell Jr. When Conner has missed time this year, Samuels has gotten plenty of touches […]

James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster Will Not Play

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) won't be on the field for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Conner had five carries for 10 yards in Week 11 before exiting after re-aggravating his shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Smith-Schuster took a hit to the head, on a pass over […]
