Week 16 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs Industry Consensus
To some extent, you can throw rankings out the window this week. Wait, keep reading! What I mean to say is that you already know who you're rolling with at nearly every position if you are playing for a championship, other than one or two flex spots. If you have a strong team at every […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 16 Lineup Questions
A few weeks ago, I sorted out the two types of questions you should always be able to answer; some off the top of your head, and some dependent upon factors like date and time. It was used to basically say that come the end of November, you should know how many leagues where you'll […]
Futures Market - Dynasty League Quarterbacks
This year was extraordinarily brutal for quarterbacks in the NFL. Andrew Luck never played a snap. Ryan Tannehill was lost in the preseason. Sam Bradford was gone after Week 1. Almost every week, it seemed like a starting quarterback with significant fantasy value was lost. Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer, Deshaun Watson all were put on […]
Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Week 15 kicked off with Kareem Hunt’s “Allow me to reintroduce myself” show and, among many other storylines, crescendoed with Antonio Brown suffering a partially torn calf muscle, likely ending his fantasy/regular season. Davante Adams (head) and Rex Burkhead (knee) are also both hoping to avoid missing time. If possible, you’re absolutely adding Martavis Bryant […]
FAAB Auction Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 16 Pickups
Welcome to Week 16 everyone. If you're still alive in your fantasy league, you're either in the semi-finals or playing for all the marbles in the fantasy championship.

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 16 Pickups and Adds
Hopefully you're secure with your running back and/or flex situation, because the waiver wire cupboard is pretty bare at the position. Unless you were clever enough to play the Jaguars' fourth and fifth string running backs, you probably got very little off the wire in Week 15. Pickings are even slimmer this week, but you […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks
Let's start by addressing the fluffy, pink elephant wearing a tutu and dancing on your forehead in the room, which is the fact that you're here looking for QB advice because you've ridden Carson Wentz to the playoffs and now he's gone. Poof, just like that. Rather than another diatribe about how it's the worst […]
Beating the Waiver Wire - Speculative Stashes for Week 16
It's Wednesday morning. You dropped a player last night expecting to make some moves on the waiver wire, only to wake up and find out you weren't able to get anyone you put a claim in for. What now? If you've got an open roster spot, its always a good idea to plan ahead for […]
Week 15 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs Industry Consensus
Lose one elite QB, gain another back. There was a seismic shift in the fantasy values of several players in Philadelphia and Green Bay this week with the unfortunate injury by Carson Wentz and the joyful return of Aaron Rodgers. The rankings will reflect as much, but also must take into consideration what position each […]
10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 15
The playoffs are in full swing now. How's it going? I'm heading into a bitter, two week showdown in one of my leagues against the guy who lets me watch RedZone on his new television every Sunday and I'm actually excited about it. As I close in on the end of my first year at Rotoballer, […]
Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 15 Lineup Questions

If you're competing for that top spot, and maybe some slightly belated Christmas funding, you […]

Futures Market - Dynasty League Wide Receivers
Last week, we looked at running backs in dynasty leagues. This time around, we try and decipher the wide receiver position. Unlike those in the backfield, those on the outside can rise and fade quickly like the tides. Two years ago, Randall Cobb had a third-round ADP and was a keeper for many fantasy owners. This […]
#TrendingNow - Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 15
As an owner in a dynasty fantasy football league, one of the most difficult things to gauge is a player’s status with their team. In dynasty leagues, you are investing in a player long term without any say in where they may be playing during that time. Especially with how injuries continue to become a […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Week 14 saw the carnage start up once again, as Alvin Kamara went down on Thursday night before a myriad of injuries on Sunday saw an MVP frontrunner in Carson Wentz go down with a feared ACL injury. These were not the only injuries, though they were the biggest. Josh McCown stunk and then exited with […]
Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 15 Pickups and Adds
Your top two fantasy running backs for Week 14 (entering Sunday night), are Jonathan Stewart and Rod Smith. That, folks, is why you search the waiver wire each and every week. You either had a very good hunch or a very bad starting lineup if you were playing either of those RB in the playoffs. […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 15
Not to rehash last week's intro, but being in the fantasy playoffs likely means your key starters are locked in. It's always wise to stay on top of the waiver wire, however, as you never know who can provide last minute depth. It being the semi-finals for most, this very well may be your final chance to […]

Risk it All to Win it All - Fantasy Playoff Hail Marys
If you’ve made the playoffs, you’re either a Have or Have Not.
