I love Adrian Peterson in fantasy football when the Vikings are projected to win, which is the case this week. In Minnesota’s two wins this season, Peterson has touched the ball 51 times for 318 yards and two touchdowns, while he only has 29 touches for 133 yards and one touchdown in their losses. The […]
Full Story »Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - Week 6 Lineup Booms
The Chiefs lost their best offensive weapon for the year in Jamaal Charles. That leaves a huge void at running back, and Charcandrick West will likely get the first opportunity to fill it. Andy Reid has stated that both West and Knile Davis will receive carries, but West out-touched Davis seven to two last week, […]
Full Story »DeAndre Hopkins (WR, HOU) - Week 6 Lineup Booms
Hopkins has been playing out of this world over his last three games, recording 28 receptions for 427 yards and one touchdown. He has excelled in every game this season except Week Two, in which he face Josh Norman, one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. He has received 75 targets this season, which accounts […]
Full Story »Tom Brady (QB, NE) - Week 6 Lineup Booms
Brady was a staple in my lineups last week, and he will be again this week. He’s one of the safest players in the NFL, as he has recorded between 22 and 29 fantasy points in each of his first four games. He gets a great matchup against the Colts, who have one of the […]

Rotoballer is here to help with ranking players, sleepers, busts, and draft strategy, with new content online every day. Rookies are a dicey proposition in fantasy basketball.

Full Story »Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-14 team leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Charles Sims was a much-hyped pre-draft sleeper in the Buccaneers backfield, even though he was always considered a backup to incumbent starter Doug Martin. There was always a sneaking suspicion that Sims, with his next-level talent, would overtake an inconsistent Martin in the depth […]
Full Story »Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Week 6 Lineup Booms?
McCown has been unbelievable in his starts this season, recording 1,203 yards and six passing touchdowns in only three games. He also has 35 yards and one score on the ground. He’s averaging 47 pass attempts per game, and that should be no different this week, as the Browns will likely be playing from behind […]
Full Story »FanDuel CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/17
Daily Fantasy College Football: FanDuel Picks for 10/17 After just a 15-game slate last weekend for the noon contest, FanDuel has bumped it back up to 19 this Saturday afternoon. A few of these games - ones with the highest over/under total set in Vegas, in particular - are especially appealing for GPP contests and […]
Full Story »Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Shame on everyone who benched/dropped Thomas Rawls for Week 5. The undrafted rookie amassed 169 yards on 23 carries with a touchdown. Really, he looked impressive in every aspect of the game, making defenders miss in the open field en route to a 69-yard touchdown sprint and shedding tackles at the line of scrimmage pushing […]
Full Story »Todd Gurley (RB, STL) - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Todd Gurley is now, indisputably, a top-five fantasy football running back. The rookie from Georgia had his second consecutive monster game, racking up 159 yards on 30 carries, the most attempts of any running back in Week 5. The time to buy low on Gurley is gone, and the time to sell high is nonexistent. Sorry […]
Full Story »Doug Martin, Charles Sims - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
The half back situation in Tampa Bay continues to be an interesting one. Doug Martin is among the top-three fantasy RBs this season (top-two if you take into account the injury to Jamaal Charles). His performance against the Jaguars on Sunday helped reaffirm that, as the Muscle Hamster produced a 24-123-2 line (along with a […]
Full Story »Jonathan Stewart, Cameron Artis-Payne - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Cam Newton led the Panthers run game on Sunday, rushing for 51 yards on 12 carries against a weak Buccaneers run game. Despite that weak defensive front, Jonathan Stewart was, once again, unable to get anything going, posting a 10-50-0ffensive line on the afternoon. Is this guy even good? In his defense, the panthers never […]
Full Story »Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Week 5 brought another 100-yard day for Matt Forte, who looked great as usual. In light of the Jamaal Charles injury, Forte may be the most reliable RB1 in football. The starter racked up 109 yards on 23 touches and found the end zone on a reception from Jay Cutler. Jacquizz Rodgers and Jeremy Langford […]
Full Story »Eddie Lacy, Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddick - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Eddie lacy turned in a disappointing effort on Sunday against the Rams, gaining only 27 yards on 13 carries. This was not a typical game in Lambeau for the Packers. Much of this can be chalked up to an underrated Rams defense, which has been quite formidable over the past few weeks. Lacy will likely […]
Full Story »Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?
The Detroit Lions are a bad football team who are struggling in every facet of the game, yet I'm still hopeful that Megatron can turn it around somewhat. I still think you're stuck with owning him for the rest of the way barring an owner in your league who believes in his draft-day value. Having […]
