Rico Dowdle - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: The Dallas Cowboys are still experimenting with the arrangement of their backfield, which has made it somewhat frustrating and difficult to trust Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle in fantasy football.

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has seen his role reduced over the last few weeks as the team gives more opportunities to Rico Dowdle.

Jerome Ford Back At Practice On Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (knee) missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, but he's back on the field on Thursday leading up to a Week 4 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Needless to say, his return is promising for his chances to suit up on Sunday for the AFC clash. Ford is […]

Bucky Irving - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Don't be mistaken, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving fell in the draft due to his size, not his ability to play, and the elusive back is an excellent piece for the Bucs offense. Irving has dazzled with his quickness and lightning-quick […]

Christian McCaffrey Out "Probably Closer To A Couple Of Months"

After seeing a specialist in Germany, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) will likely be sidelined for at least a month and "probably closer to a couple of months." It's obvious terrible news for the 49ers and any fantasy managers that took CMC with the first overall pick in fantasy drafts this […]

Chuba Hubbard – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB18 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is an outstanding starting option for fantasy players in Week 4.

Zack Moss – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB15 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss is the RB19 for the year, averaging 12.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

Brian Robinson Jr. – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB16 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. was one of my favorite running backs to draft this year.

Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce Not Practicing On Thursday

Houston Texans running backs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) are both sitting out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Mixon tweaked his ankle in the Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears and did not play in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old is […]

Josh Jacobs – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB13 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is the RB28 over the first three weeks, averaging 9.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, the veteran running back has been productive, especially given the team’s circumstances. Jacobs has averaged 4.5 yards per rushing attempt […]

Travis Etienne Jr. – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB17 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. has been a fantasy bust over the first three weeks. He is the RB22, averaging 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, scoring 13.3 or fewer in every contest. Unfortunately, the Jaguars’ offense is a mess right […]

Bucky Irving Not Practicing, Says He'll Play In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (hamstring) isn't practicing on Thursday but said he will be ready to play on Sunday in Week 4 against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce could get playing time if lead back Joe Mixon misses time, but he's a terrible fit for their rushing scheme.

NFL DFS: Cowboys vs. Giants DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks - TNF Showdown Slate (Week 4)

We are back again, RotoBallers! Last week, we had the right idea, just not the correct execution, as I thought Mike Williams would see a better target share but Aaron Rodgers heavily favored Allen Lazard.

Jaylen Warren Misses Practice On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) was a non-participant in the team's first practice of the week.

The news comes after the 25-year-old was scheduled for an MRI on […]

Is Alvin Kamara Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Alvin Kamara had a down season in 2023, serving both a suspension and as part of an anemic offense. Outside of PPR formats, Kamara was nowhere near as efficient as he was in previous years, and the incessant dump-offs handed to him by Captain Checkdown helped his fantasy value immensely. The script completely flipped in […]

Should I Drop Antonio Gibson? Fantasy Football Outlook

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson was once considered an up-and-coming superstar. His former head coach with the Washington Commanders once called Gibson the next Christian McCaffrey. While fantasy players drooled at the chance he could be an elite RB1, the former Memphis star never turned into an elite running back. Furthermore, Gibson became […]
