Week 11 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Mark Sanchez, Ronnie Hillman, Zach Ertz, & More!

Week 11 is here and ready to make dreams come true. There aren't any games this week that have projected point totals of over 50 points. The closest we've got is the 49.5 total that the Detroit-Oakland game is offering. This doesn't mean that there isn't cheaper fun to be had though. There is still plenty […]

Jay Cutler Is Turning a Corner

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a long time since we've all been on the Jay Cutler bandwagon. Now, it's looking like maybe he is ready to become a fraction of the quarterback everyone's been hoping he would become for years. Cutler has been the ninth highest scoring QB […]

Todd Gurley and Alshon Jeffery Should Shine in Bears vs Rams Game

Week 10's matchup between the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams should be an offensive battle between Rams running back Todd Gurley and Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.  The two offensive weapons are not only the best players on their respective teams, but they are two of the top players in the league. Todd Gurley came […]

Daily Divide: Week Ten DFS Picks - Darren McFadden, Greg Olsen, Randall Cobb Plus Others

Daily Divide: Week Ten Nathan and Matt each offer Week 10 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Nathan tends to make far better picks, and Matt’s thoughts should be somewhat […]

Marquess Wilson (WR, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue monitoring OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS:  For the last two weeks Chicago Bears wide receiver Eddie Royal has been out with a knee injury and Marquess Wilson has started in his place.  The good news is that he became the WR2 for the Bears in the interim--the bad news is that […]

Ka'Deem Carey Is Worth Monitoring

BALLER MOVE: Monitor in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ka'Deem Carey started Monday night's game for the Bears, and was immediately added in hundreds of leagues. He carried the ball seven times for 28 yards, but was quickly supplanted by Jeremy Langford, who was expected to start. This was Carey's first bit of action […]

The New and Improved Jay Cutler

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I know a lot of people still want no part of Jay Cutler after the letdowns of seasons past, but it's time to recognize. Cutler has been playing very well this season despite the slew of injuries that have hit his offense. […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota & Kirk Cousins

Week 9 saw Tyrod Taylor deliver an acceptable performance. It wasn’t great, but I’ll take 15 points from a QB streamer any week. Meanwhile I should have expected it, but Kirk Cousins was disappointing. My options at 25% or less were Johnny Manziel, Blaine Gabbert and Matt Cassel. There was no chance I was starting […]

Week 9 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate

Monday Night Matchups Analysis Bears @ Chargers Matchups we love: Stevie Johnson, WR, Chargers - San Diego will be looking to replace Keenan Allen's 11 targets a game. Johnson is the most natural replacement and should see his six targets be bumped all the way up to at least 10. Johnson has been a WR1 before, he […]

Limit Your Expectations for Malcom Floyd and Jeremy Langford

It's Wednesday, so you know the waiver wire is bumping like Hotline Bling at Drake's house.  After multiple injuries from big-name players last week, there are some popular replacement adds that fantasy owners will be banking on.  I'm not here to tell you "You shouldn't have added that guy", but rather to temper your expectations […]

Marquess Wilson Could Step into Bigger Role

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While both Matt Forte and Eddie Royal went down with injuries for the Bears in Week 8, we don't have much info on either. All we truly know is that Royal and Forte's injuries aren't season-ending, according to Adam Jahns of the Chicago […]

Week 8 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The amount of injuries during Week 8 was an absolute nightmare for fantasy owners. Obviously all kinds of injuries are terrible, but when you’re talking about a slew of fantasy superstars, the results are pretty devastating. Since there were so many players that went down, it’s best that we focus on the bigger and more immediate […]

Week 9 Deeper Sleepers: Things Are Going to Get Wild

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Week 8 was not kind to fantasy owners or my picks. Le'Veon Bell, Steve Smith Sr., Reggie Bush, Matt Forte, and Ryan Fitzpatrick all went down with injuries, with the first three names out […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 9: Aiken, Floyd, Wilson and More

Week 8 was filled with a few brutal injuries that have left players sidelined for either the remainder of 2015, or at least for quite a few weeks. While we could list off a long run of players who suffered tough injuries, we'll just keep those guys in our thoughts and take a look at […]

Jay Cutler Has Quietly Had a Solid Season

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues, Start in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I think it has gone under the radar, but Jay Cutler has at least 17 points in each of the last four games. Sure it took a rushing touchdown to get there in Week 8, but the Vikings […]

Week 9 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It's not too late. Week 8 is in the books and for most leagues that means that we are half way through the season. By no means is it too late to turn a season around and with the myriad of injuries this past week, the waiver wire is just the place to do it. […]

Jeremy Langford a Top Tier Injury Replacement

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Forte is reportedly dealing with an MCL injury, meaning Langford becomes the next man up. Langford was an elusive back in college who showed some good spurts of vision and had some receiving skills to boot. In my notes, I felt […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Tyrod Taylor, Jay Cutler & Kirk Cousins

Week 8 was another perfect week, kinda. Marcus Mariota obviously did not start so he was thrown out. Otherwise it was a 2/2 day. Alex Smith only threw for 145 yards but he had two passing touchdowns and 78 rush yards and another score on the ground. That resulted in a huge fantasy day: Smith’s […]

Adrian Peterson, Stefon Diggs To Have Big Days vs Bears?

The Minnesota Vikings will take on the Chicago Bears in Sunday's game at Soldier Field.  The Vikings enter the game on a two game win streak, while the Bears enter the game fresh off of a bye week. These two division rivals will square off for the first time this season, but they have mutual […]

Week 8 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Here we go again folks. If you want to just scroll a bit to the picks, be my guest, but first I want to briefly touch on the DFS trends of late as well as some more chalky plays. Week 8 is here and for the sake of consistency I'll stick with the tournaments that […]

The Daily Divide: Week Eight DFS Picks

Daily Divide: Week Eight Matt and Nathan each offer Week 8 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Nathan probably makes more good points than Matt though, over the long […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 8: The Early Games

It’s starting to become money time in fantasy land – the time for mistakes has passed. If you’re locked in a race for the playoffs right now, the last thing you need is to leave points on the bench or place faith in a guy who is destined to put up a dud. While it’s […]

Eddie Royal (WR, Chi.) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In Week 6, before the Bears' bye week, veteran wideout Eddie Royal looked spry and fully recovered from an ankle sprain that had him "questionable" all week. He caught five of seven targets for 49 yards as Bears quarterback Jay Cutler continued to show great […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and […]

Cutler a Cut Above Other Bye Week Options

BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 39% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jay Cutler is returning from a bye-week, just in time to cover yours.

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading. We saw Jeremy Maclin (concussion), Keenan Allen (hip), Sammy Watkins (ankle), Allen Robinson (knee), and others leave their games early. This meant […]

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 6: The Early Games

It’s hard to believe that it’s already Week 6 and the NFL season is nearly a third of the way over. The fantasy football season is nearly halfway over, with the majority of postseasons beginning on Week 13 or 14. Whether you’re 0-5, 5-0, or anywhere in between at this point, you still have a […]

Alshon Jeffery's Status Still Up in the Air

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has missed the past several weeks with a hamstring injury and his status for Week 6 is still up in the air. However, Jeffery seems to be moving in the right direction. He was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and he says he "I feel a lot […]
