Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10. Among the low-owned studs and high-owned duds were a couple notable injuries, with Cooper Kupp's knee being the biggest (as of Sunday Night Football). We here at RotoBaller are here to get […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 11)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just a weekly reminder that Baltimore Ravens wide receiverWillie Snead is only 28% owned (less than last week) with matchups against the Raiders, Falcons, Chiefs and Buccaneers after the bye.

Ravens In Thick Of AFC Playoff Hunt

The Baltimore Ravens are still in the thick of the AFC playoff race despite having lost three straight games to fall to 4-5 on the season.

Ravens Not Committing To Joe Flacco In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh isn't committing to quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) for Week 11 against the Bengals. "He's getting treatment. We'll see. We'll know more as the week goes on. I'm hopefully all of our guys play, including Joe," Harbaugh said. It's a bit surprising with the Ravens coming off their bye week, but […]

Week 10 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

For some, it's birth. Other's may come in the form of an experience. There are even those few (my aunt) who fall in that weird, I just like their colors category. But, every sports fan has that defining moment which determines "their team". Mine came January 27, 1991 - the infamous Scott Norwood, "wide right" […]

Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

Joe Flacco Status For Week 11 Unclear

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) could be a doubt for next Sunday's big divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals. Flacco injured himself in the Ravens sixth play from scrimmage in their 23-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite finishing the game and not missing any plays the Ravens have an added complication to consider […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 10

Fantasy footballers are going to have to live without some things this upcoming week. Fantasy football owners will not get a 100-yard receiving game out of Minnesota’s Adam Thielen, a touchdown toss from Houston’s Deshaun Watson, or a sack out courtesy of Denver’s Von Miller this week. That is because those fantasy superstars’ teams are […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?

I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of […]

Picking From the Fringe - Waiver Targets for a Playoff Push

With the fantasy football regular season coming down to the wire, there are those players who are established in the playoffs and those who are already out of contention. For the rest of us, there are moves to be made and waiver acquisitions to be made to keep our playoff hopes alive. Making the correct […]

Ty Montgomery Hopes To Ignite Ravens Running Game

Baltimore Ravens running back Ty Montgomery hopes that he is able to ignite the Ravens running game when he makes his debut against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Montgomery was deactivated for last week's loss to the Steelers, as he was acquired at the trade deadline mid-week. The 25-year-old back is an explosive runner who […]

Lamar Jackson Could See Full Drives Under Center

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could see more playing time moving forward, according to head coach John Harbaugh. While it is unlikely that Jackson will supplant Joe Flacco at this point, Harbaugh told reporters that it is a real possibility that the rookie will be under center for full series, unlike previous games where he […]

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 10

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 10, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to lingering injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers.

Week 10 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Not much time is left in the fantasy football season, so decisions are critical right now. With the waiver wire so thin, a week of injuries can leave you scrambling last minute. Stefon Diggs was a surprise scratch this week and if you didn’t work the waiver wire prior to his scratch, then you may […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 10)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed

We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk […]

Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This backfield may belong to Aaron Jones soon enough but Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams will be in the mix still. With Ty Montgomery gone, Williams is set to see more work on passing downs since the team prefers him for pass protection over Jones. […]

John Brown Unable To Recapture Performance Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown was unable to recapture the performance he had previously earlier this season against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Michael Crabtree Underwhelming Against The Steelers

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree was underwhelming against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9.

Crabtree will be looking to regain his form and move on from the past two […]

Mark Andrews Able To Impress In Limited Opportunity

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was able to impress given his limited opportunity. While the tight end was targeted six times, he was only able to haul in three of those for 50 yards. The Ravens were unable to threaten the Steelers and so Andrews was being used as a target in the center […]

Willie Snead Leads Team In Receiving Yards Against Steelers

Javorius Allen Fails To Make Impact In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen failed to make an impact in his Week 9 encounter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens were behind for a lot of the game, which would normally mean that Allen would thrive in the passing game for the team. However, Allen was only able to rush for six yards […]
