BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: The New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is the latest in a long line of precautionary tales. Two good games do not mean a player is a stud or an elite fantasy asset. He had the fortunate chance to face the […]
Full Story »Gameweek 9 Preview - Fantasy Premier League 2024-25 Tips and Captaincy Picks
Gameweek 8 saw lots of FPL action as Son Heung-min returned to form for Tottenham, contributing to a 4-1 victory against West Ham, while John Stones scored a last-minute winner for Manchester City against Wolves.

Full Story »Diontae Johnson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ribs) is a frustrating player to own. He's been very boom-or-bust in the games when Andy Dalton (thumb) has started, and the offense as a whole fails to show up sometimes. He has scored 19 or more PPR fantasy points in three […]
Full Story »College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (10/26/24)
We have a lighter Saturday with many teams taking in mid-season off weeks and one team (UMass) slumming in FCS. We still have a solid 47-game slate to keep us occupied. I already missed one max bet last night (Old freaking Dominion, of course), so I have some ground to make up already. I never […]
Full Story »Xavier Worthy - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Outside of touchdowns, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy hasn't had a ton of value to fantasy managers, but since the slew of injuries to KC's WR corps, Worthy has at least seen an uptick in targets. He hasn't gotten an increase in playing time, though. On […]
Full Story »Cole Kmet - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is currently the TE3 in full-PPR scoring, and he plays at one of the easiest positions for fantasy managers to make choices in start/sit decisions. You pretty much start the guys who are actually doing stuff, because most TEs are hardly doing […]
Full Story »Week 8 DraftKings NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2024): Jordan Love, Joe Mixon, Drake London, and more
Welcome back, RotoBallers! I hope you guys are pumped for an exciting Week 8 Main Slate on DraftKings. With no bye weeks and no London game, we get a jam-packed Week 8 slate. Despite all those matchups on the board, I'd argue there are few true "obvious" environments for guaranteed DFS fireworks. Throw in a […]
Full Story »Keon Coleman - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman finally had his breakout game in Week 7, recording four catches on seven targets for 125 yards. The target numbers are encouraging as is the efficiency, though that's less likely to be repeated. He made several huge plays, […]
Full Story »Ladd McConkey - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) may not play in Week 8. He missed practice on Thursday. But if he does, he's a low-end WR3 option in PPR leagues. He's a great player, but he has Greg Roman as his offensive […]
Full Story »Alexander Mattison (RB, LV) - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Sit if you can POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is an inefficient running back (3.62 yards per carry) on a losing team (2-5) with a depleted roster -- starting QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is on injured reserve, WR1 Davante Adams left for the New York Jets, and […]
Full Story »Rico Dowdle - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: While he didn't have his best game in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has had some incredibly encouraging things going for him in recent weeks. For one, fellow RB Ezekiel Elliott has looked completely washed, […]

We did it, folks. We made it to the final series of the baseball season. The 2024 World Series will be a bi-coastal battle between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Well, unfortunately, we failed to keep our momentum rolling and had a 0-2 record last week. The Vikings couldn't close out the Lions late and lost on a last-second field goal. We also had a tough loss with Green Bay winning but missing a cover by half a point. That’s the second time we’ve lost […]
