Tarik Cohen Will Be X-Factor On Turkey Day

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will try and get his season back on track this Thursday against the Lions on Thanksgiving. Cohen has posted only 107 yards from scrimmage over his last three games and has been largely ineffective since taking a screen pass to the house for a 70-yard touchdown against the Jets […]

Jordan Howard's Role On Offense Growing

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard's role in the offense continues to grow heading into Week 12 on Thursday against the Lions. With the news that quarterback Mitch Trubisky is nursing a shoulder injury, Howard's fantasy value goes up another notch against a Lions defense that is allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing […]

FAAB Biding: Week 12 Waiver Wire Adds

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present 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 […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The byes are almost done, except that the two teams missing from this week's slate account for half of the starting lineups of the most successful fantasy teams. If anything, this might be a chance for fringe contenders to gain a leg up on their league's powerhouse teams that are missing their Rams and Chiefs. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 has been quite the show thus far, as all of our fantasy teams can only aspire to be half as successful as the New Orleans Saints, who appear to be executing at will over opponents. Remember when the Buccaneers beat them? Me neither. Anyway, we here at RotoBaller are always looking to get […]

Kareem Hunt Scores in Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had a fairly solid game, but it was an afterthought because both teams were fighting through the air all game long. Hunt rushed 14 times for 70 yards and caught three passes for 41 yards and one touchdown. Fantasy owners can't be upset with this performance. Hunt did […]

He now returns from New York's bye […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 12)

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 […]

Todd Gurley Quiet Despite Team's Offensive Explosion

Los Angeles Ram running back Todd Gurley has been an elite running back option all season long, but that changed this week. Gurley only had 12 carries for 55 yards to go with three catches for 39 yards. His touchdown streak also came to an end at 13 games. The Kansas City Chiefs made a […]

Saquon Barkley Looks To Dominate Eagles Again

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will look to dominate once again when the team takes on the Eagles in Week 12. Barkley rushed for 130 yards with nine receptions for 99 yards and one touchdown in Week 6 against the Eagles and Philadelphia's defense has slipped over the past few games. They have […]

James White Ready To Bounce Back In Week 12

New England Patriots running back James White will be fresh off of the bye week when the team takes on the Jets in Week 12. White is also coming off his worst statistical output of the season when he registered only 26 total yards in Week 10. But the veteran is having a career season […]

Sony Michel Should Get Back On Track Against Jets

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel should be healthy coming off of the bye week heading into Week 12's matchup against the Jets. Michel suffered a knee injury that knocked him off course over the past month after a three-game stretch in early October where he racked up 316 rushing yards and four touchdowns. […]

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey finished his matchup against the Detroit Lions with 110 yards but broke his scoring streak. McCaffrey finished the game with 53 yards on the ground and caught six passes for 57 yards. McCaffrey has been heavily involved in every game he has played in, and his dual-threat ability means […]

Joe Mixon Rushes For Just 14 Yards

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon wasn't his usual self against a tough Ravens run defense in Week 11, finishing with just 14 yards on 12 carries, but he salvaged the day from a fantasy perspective with a touchdown run and also added 38 receiving yards on three catches. Mixon should look more like the […]

Peyton Barber Breaks Loose Against Giants

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had a great game in New York. He rushed for 106 yards on 18 carries and found the end-zone. Barber also threw in two catches for four yards to PPR players as a cherry on top of a solid outing. These types of games have been few and far between […]

Dalvin Cook Abysmal In Week 11 Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook picked up 12 yards on nine carries during a 25-20 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The game script saw the Vikings fall behind early which made them resort to throwing the ball throughout the entirety of the second half. Cook was expected to have a tough […]

Dion Lewis Quiet In Loss To Colts

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis produced his second-lowest point total of the season Sunday in the 38-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Lewis rushed 10 times for 24 yards and added only one reception for eight yards. The offense never truly got going, but after quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) left the game in the […]

Derrick Henry Unable To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry saw his three game touchdown streak come to an end in Week 11 in the 38-10 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts. Henry rushed nine times for 46 yards but was a complete non-factor in the passing game with zero targets. Henry's touchdown-dependent flex value still remains, but should quarterback […]

Week 11 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

¿Què pasa? Este juego ya no va estar en la ciudad de México -- porque la NFL tiene un complejo de superioridad -- pero pensé que una introducción en español sería divertido así que aquí estamos. Realmente no resultó ser tan divertido. Con suerte, puedes leer esto. Disappointed this game won't be coming to us from […]

Ty Montgomery Was Non-Existent In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery did not touch the ball in Week 11's win over the Bengals.

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen carried the ball seven times for 27 yards while adding three receptions for 23 yards in the Bears Week 11 victory.

Jordan Howard Produces 63 Rushing Yards In Huge Win

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 18 times for 63 yards in the Bears 25-20 triumph over the Vikings. The Bears opened the game by spreading the field with end-around plays but later fed Howard consistently in the running game up the middle. Howard quickly became the engine of the offense, albeit […]

Wendell Smallwood Vanishes In Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood rushed once for negative four yards in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints. That’s it. Even in a pass-heavy game script, Smallwood could not cash in on his normal passing duties. Smallwood was third in touches in the Eagles backfield behind Josh Adams (10) and Corey Clement (four). […]

Corey Clement Continues Making Zero Impact

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement handled two totes for 11 yards and caught two balls for four yards in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints.

Josh Adams Lone Bright Spot For Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams rushed seven times for 53 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 19 yards in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints. Adams ripped a 28-yard touchdown scamper in the second quarter for the Eagles only score of the day. Arguably, Adams has officially usurped Corey Clement and […]

Leonard Fournette Rushes For Touchdown In Week 11

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was the team's lone bright spot in Week 11's meeting with the Steelers, carrying the ball 28 times for 95 yards and a touchdown while also adding two receptions for a team-high 46 yards. A healthy Fournette is a must-start option on a weekly basis, though he may need […]

Jordan Wilkins Scores A Touchdown In Week 11

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins has started to flash some more big-play ability in the past couple of weeks, and that remained true in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans. He used his limited volume of four carries for 30 yards to the max with a nice 18-yard touchdown. Wilkins started the year […]

Marlon Mack Bounces Back In Week 11

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had a bounce-back performance in Week 11 after a struggle in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He finished the week with 16 carries for 61 yards and a touchdown, along with one catch for eight yards. The touchdown helped keep him relevant on a day that saw the […]

Lamar Miller Has Productive Game Against Washington

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller rushed for 86 yards on 20 carries in Sunday's win over the Washington Redskins. Miller also caught three passes for an additional 22 yards. After ceding carries to Alfred Blue in Houston's last game, there was worry about what Miller's workload heading into this week, but he once again […]
