NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

It started off as a great day of football but the decision to have just two 4 p.m. games quickly backfired when the Dolphins-Jets and Bucs-Packers became blowouts after the first quarter. Another decision that is still, and will continue to be, scrutinized is the Texans decision to go for two. It was the right […]

Slow Starters Ready to Break Out in Fantasy?

We are now more than a third of the way into the fantasy football season and a seemingly clearer picture is available across the landscape.

Inside the Tent - Week 7 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Falcons Defense Best Avoided In Week 7

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should not be on the fantasy football radar heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit's offense hasn't been as strong as expected, though they haven't been a matchup to stream defenses against either. They rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses, but the expected point […]

Younghoe Koo An Elite Play In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is shaping up to have a strong game against the Lions in Week 7. Koo has made at least two field-goals and an extra-point in every contest this season, giving him a stable floor for fantasy. With the point total set at 55, Koo could be very busy against the […]

Hayden Hurst A Borderline TE1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst faces the Lions in Week 7. Hurst is coming off of a four-catch, 57-yard performance with a touchdown against the Vikings. The former Raven seems to benefit from the presence of Julio Jones (hamstring), as he's averaged his highest yards per reception marks in the games where Jones has […]

Russell Gage A Sneaky Sleeper Against Detroit

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (shoulder) could be a sleeper in Week 7 against the Lions. He was a full participant all week, meaning he's good to go for Sunday. Consider Gage's numbers in the two full games that Julio Jones (hamstring) has played this year: 9-114-0 in Week 1 and 4-65-0 last week. […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 Against The Lions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (elbow) is poised for another strong game in Week 7 against the Lions. Ridley has no injury designation after being limited all week, so he's good to go for Sunday's game. The 25-year-old ranks in the top-10 in targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns heading into a favorable […]

Julio Jones An Easy Start In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation and will be suiting up against the Lions in Week 7. Jones has played in four games this year, though he's technically only been healthy in two of them. Here's what he's averaged in those two games: 11 targets, 8.5 receptions, 147 receiving […]

Todd Gurley II Gets Juicy Matchup In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is in a good position to put up strong fantasy numbers against the Lions Defense in Week 7. Ironically enough, the former Ram saw his largest workload of the season in Week 6- 23 touches- but had his worst showing of the year, as game script forced the […]

Matt Ryan A Solid QB1 Play Against Lions

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan gets a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Lions. Ryan clearly benefited from the return of Julio Jones (hamstring) last week, as he threw for 371 yards and four scores. While Jones and Calvin Ridley (elbow) were limited at practice, they are both expected to suit up on Sunday. […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie. You can twist them, but looking at them objectively, numbers say that no matter what, rushing the ball is almost always a worse option than passing it in today's game. That's why […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 6 was like the 2020 of fantasy football weeks. All those great matchups meant nothing, those studs let you down, and your bench likely went crazy. The good news is that we didn't have any season-ending injuries to running backs or games canceled due to COVID, so in retrospect maybe we shouldn't complain. The […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

Week 6 was relatively healthy and had no coronavirus delays, so let's just take a moment to bask in that. That said, we still saw Miles Sanders (knee) and Zach Ertz (ankle) go down, while Mark Ingram (ankle) has a bye to get healthy. Week 7 byes are Baltimore, Indianapolis, Miami, and Minnesota. Let's get […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Six weeks of NFL football are behind us, aside from a pair of Monday games, including a late afternoon game between the Bills and the Chiefs. In terms of wide receiver production this week, we didn't have the huge breakouts like we had in Week 5. Chase Claypool didn't score four touchdowns. In fact, only […]

Dynasty Trade Targets for Rebuilding Teams

Maybe 2020 isn't going the way you planned. That could go for a lot of us in a lot of ways but this specifically refers to fantasy football. Maybe your dynasty team that once looked like a strong contender is sitting at the bottom of the standings with one lonely win or none at all. […]

Top IDP Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

Pickings can always be slim in deep IDP leagues, but this year it is looking thinner than usual in even the shallowest of setups. In fact, going shopping for IDP players in 2020 can often feel like you’re going to the grocery store for filet mignon, only to bring home a roll of toilet paper […]

Week 6 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Deshaun Watson led the way at the quarterback position in Week 6, finishing with 32 points. Six of the top-seven quarterbacks on the week, Watson, Ryan Tannehill, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, Carson Wentz and Lamar Jackson were all involved in the same three games which were shootouts with at least 58 points scored. George Kittle […]

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: And just like that, we're ready to buy back into the Atlanta Falcons offense, right? Following two straight disastrous outings and the firing of head coach Dan Quinn, the Falcons offense came alive in a big way in Week 6, dropping 40 […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Keelan Cole couldn't help Jacksonville get a W this past Sunday, he put on his best performance of the season and it can't be argued he was the lone really bright light of the offense against Detroit. It's been like that all […]
