Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 3: Josh Robinson, Rishard Matthews, Scott Chandler

Week 2 is the in books and a lot of strange things have happened already. DeMarco Murray, an early-round pick, has rushed for only 11 yards this season. Meanwhile, Travis Benjamin, who went mostly undrafted, has three receiving TDs on only six receptions. It may be time to get some sleepers on your roster as […]

Week 3 Wide Receiver Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Wide receivers are one of the most critical components, and a core building block, for all fantasy football teams. This is especially true in PPR formats, where fantasy owners are rewarded for every catch that a wide receiver makes. We are here to help you plan your wide receiver draft strategy, and to target the […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 3 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 3 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings Targets. An introduction is not really all that necessary, as the title of this DFS article pretty much sums up what is going to be discussed. It's important to identify players with good match ups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings' […]

Charles Johnson (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Fallers

While he can’t be entirely written off just yet, things are not looking promising for Johnson’s 2015. He was a hot commodity coming in, and plenty of people (myself included) were feeling good about him. It would appear that Teddy Bridgewater and Mike Wallace have a good thing going (both Wallace and Johnson had three targets […]

Sam Bradford, DeMarco Murray, Nelson Agholor (PHI) - Fantasy Football Fallers

We’ll use the same blanket blurb that the Broncos deserved last week, and the Saints might have been here but the Eagles then fell on their faces in the afternoon games. Seriously though, people are (rightfully) pulling their hair out. Chip Kelly noted that the entire offense is under the microscope, and no one is safe. […]

Amari Cooper (WR, OAK) - Fantasy Football Risers

The worry game was strong coming out of Week 1, with the fear being that the amazing rookie wide receiver crop from last year had skewed our expectations way too far. Amari Cooper’s weak line of 5-47-0 was the best of the rookies, and the Raiders looked terrible. The Ravens were coming into Oakland in […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Risers

Carson Palmer deserves a lot of love too, if he’s still sitting out there in your league you should probably go get him. Larry Fitzgerald is showing that he can still ball. Yes, the Cardinals have teed off against two bad defenses in the Saints and Bears, but their upcoming schedule shows plenty of exploitable […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off of his first 100-yard game in almost two years, Matthews is certainly seen as a hot commodity this week. Going against Buffalo this week may actually lower most owners' expectations, which could make him a steal for those who are patient. […]

Thursday Night NFL Matchups Analysis: Week 3 Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

Is Eli Manning still an elite quarterback? Just kidding, that discussion is not happening here nor should it ever be a click-bait worthy headline ever again. Manning and the Giants host the Washington Redskins in this week’s Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 3 of the NFL season. As usual, below are some of the key […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (14+) OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As a Falcons fan, this pains me to say. But it's looking like Roddy White is getting phased out of the offense. When asked about his one-target, no catch performance on Sunday, he told reporters there wasn't any extra attention paid to him by […]

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Travis Benjamin has three touchdowns on only six catches through two games, and is clearly the top deep threat in Cleveland. His lack of targets (only four in Week 2) is what’s discouraging, although that could be due largely in part to the […]

Leonard Hankerson (ATL, WR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues (FAAB Bid: $3-5) OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Roddy White owners are freaking out. Hankerson was buried in Washington for a while, and never really did anything special. It was speculated that if Roddy White gets hurt, Hankerson could step into some nice value as a WR2 in […]

Ty Montgomery (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This season the Green Bay Packer receiving depth will be tested. With Jordy Nelson already on season-ending IR, his replacement Davante Adams went down with an ankle injury in Week 2 as well. The good news is, the injury doesn't seem to be […]

NFL Survivor League Picks - Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 3)

NFL Doomsday has come and gone. Hopefully that will be the last week of its kind this season. If you were one of the lucky to survive this brutal week 2, congrats. Nothing to be ashamed about if you lost this week as more than 80 percent in the ESPN Eliminator Challenge lost in week 2. […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Listen guys, the fact that Moncrief is still so underowned is crazy. This is your last chance to add him, and I'm not sure what half of you are waiting for. Get on it! Don’t panic on the Colts. They have played the two […]

Week 3 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

Well, well - here we are. Stuck somewhere between recovering from the Week 2 games, and looking forward to Week 3 and scouring the waiver wire to improve our teams. Did your team get hit with the injury bug? Are you flying high and crushing your leagues after two weeks? Either way, we are here to analyze […]

Week 3 Sleepers: Last Call for Tyrod Taylor, Hedging Eddie Lacy

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Matt Jones (42%) and Dion Lewis (32%) make for great FAAB claims, but they're too heavily owned for this segment. Week 2 was not easy on a lot of fantasy teams. Carlos Hyde and Eddie […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 3 Waiver Wire Targets

The days after Week 2 can be critical to your year-long success in fantasy football. Starting your season 0-2 means you might need to open up to more risks, and this is a week where you can make a splash on the waiver wire to plug those lineup holes. Perhaps you were bitten by the […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There was a lot of talk about this offense entering the season - from how great the weapons looked, to Tannehill's continuing development. Within this large pool of receivers, one of the players that got lost in the mix was Rishard Matthews. […]

Week 2 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

If you managed to weather the storm of Week Two’s brutal injuries and dud performances to the tune of a win, congratulations. If, like me, you were let down by your studs (I’m looking at you, Brandin Cooks and Mike Evans), my sincerest condolences. Between a slew of quarterback setbacks and random disappointments, the second […]

Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR, PIT) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Worth a look in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I know many people just read the name Darrius Heyward-Bey and their eyes glaze over. Once a player gets the Raiders stink, it is hard to shake off. But Heyward-Bey has been impressive so far this season. While the lion's share of […]

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I wanted to ignore Travis Benjamin's Week 1 as much as anyone. A "random" Cleveland Browns receiver catching a single deep pass for a touchdown? Yeah, whatever. Then suddenly he scored another one on the Titans. And then a third. Travis Benjamin finished his […]

Spanish La Liga - Week 4

The midweek Champion's League fare had a record five Spanish teams in action with Sevilla, Real and Atletico Madrid all notching up victories, Barcelona leaving Rome with a point and Valencia stumbling at home to Zenit. The question was, would any of the Iberian contingency experience a kind of post Euroepan hangover. The answer was yes. […]

Michael Crabtree (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR / 12+ Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Crabtree had a dynamite Week 2, torching the Ravens for 111 yards and a score on nine catches. He had a ridiculous 16 targets, which was five more than assumed top receiver Amari Cooper (who still finished with 109 yards […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Three The second Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Somehow the Jaguars beat the up and coming Dolphins prompting Miami fans to call for the axing of another head coach, and Peyton reminded us that he doesn't need a good arm to make plays. And the best part […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week Three Lightning Round

Later today, and over the next couple of days, we will be publishing more in depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. But in efforts of bringing you timely information, as fast as possible, consider this the Week 3 waiver wire lightning round.

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Will the new Marques Colston please stand up? Coleman is the new Colston in New Orleans, and while I think many saw this coming, few predicted that it would happen this quickly. Coleman already looked like the new Colston, racking up seven targets and converting those […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: With the Dez Bryan injury, Dallas is going to have to find new receivers to throw to. In the previous two seasons, Beasley has turned 103 total targets into 76 catches for 788 yards and six TDs. On a per target basis, that equates to […]
