Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The first of the six-team bye weeks is here. We might call this the Byepocalypse, except that one look at the schedule to see that it includes teams like the Cardinals, Jaguars, and Giants, you won't be too worried. Still, there are fewer options to choose from than usual and more spots than usual to fill […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

Week 8 featured another early start thanks to a tilt in London and brought many stellar performances throughout the day, some from known commodities and others from lesser-known players that you may want to add. We here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you actionable intel as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 9)

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 […]

Jamie Collins On Trade Block?

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jamie Collins could be on the trade block and the New England Patriots, who initially traded Collins to the Browns, have discussed bringing him back. The Pats could really use some help around Dont'a Hightower in the middle of their defense, and Collins would be a big upgrade. The 29-year-old has 55 […]

NFL DFS Sleepers - Wide Receivers to Target in Week 8

We're officially halfway through the NFL season, with several teams already having their bye weeks behind them. Nevertheless, injuries have begun to rack up. We saw this firsthand on Thursday night as Houston trotted reserve defensive backs out into full-time roles. Picking on the backups that precede starting defensive backs is a common strategy among […]

Browns Fire Todd Haley

The Cleveland Browns fired offensive coordinator Todd Haley on Monday, according to a source. There was a report over the weekend that Haley and head coach Hue Jackson were butting heads on the offensive play-calling and that a change could be imminent. Well, the Browns fired both Jackson and Haley on Monday, shaking up the […]

Browns Fire Hue Jackson

The Cleveland Browns fired head coach Hue Jackson on Monday, according to a source. While the Browns have won three games this year, they continue to disappoint with more talent in 2018. Jackson's 3-36-1 record with the Browns in his three years is the worst head-coaching record for one team in NFL history with a […]

Greg Joseph Misses A Field Goal In Week 8

Cleveland Browns kicker Greg Joseph went 2-for-3 in field-goal attempts in his team's 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Joseph also missed his lone extra point attempt in the game. He was busy early in the game as he saw all three of his field goal attempts before halftime. The rookie kicker has now made […]

David Njoku Blanked In Week 8

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku was held without a target in his team's 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. It goes as a massive disappointment for a player who had been one of Baker Mayfield's favorite targets over the past few weeks. Njoku will be a good candidate to bounce back […]

Antonio Callaway Catches Touchdown In Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway caught five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in his team's 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Callaway bounced back from several slow outings to post his best game since Week 2. His score came on a one-yard grab in the third quarter and is […]

Jarvis Landry Catches Eight Passes

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught eight of 12 targets for 39 yards in his team's 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Landry led the Browns in all receiving categories but he just couldn't get anything going down the field on most of his short receptions. Landry continues to be one […]

Duke Johnson Sees Four Touches

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson saw just four touches in his team's 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Johnson gained zero yards on two carries and added two receptions for 16 yards. The talented third-down back continues to go underused in the Cleveland offense this season. He hasn't seen more than […]

Nick Chubb Gains 65 Yards In Loss

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb gained 65 yards on 18 carries in his team's 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Chubb got off to a fast start in the game but he struggled after halftime, gaining just 12 yards. He did get involved in the passing game, catching two passes for […]

Baker Mayfield Throws Two TDs In Week 8

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 22 of his 36 pass attempts for 180 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Mayfield also added a nine-yard run. The Cleveland offense got off to a fast start, marching down the field on three of their first […]

Hue Jackson Pumps Breaks On Coaching Changes

Despite another loss and mediocre offensive showing, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson shot down reports that offensive coordinator Todd Haley's job is in jeopardy. Rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield was sacked twice and pressured throughout the loss to the Steelers, while receiver Jarvis Landry, tight end David Njoku and running back Duke Johnson combined for […]

Browns Could Make Changes To Coaching Staff

The Cleveland Browns could be facing coaching changes if their offense doesn't improve, according to sources. Head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley haven't been on the same page in recent weeks, and their relationship has not improved. Haley could lose his job if this doesn't change soon. Jackson recently said he wouldn't […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 8 Fantasy Football Picks

If there's one thing I've learned in fantasy football over the years, you have to set your bias aside. The largest and most prominent of these (for me at least) is the homerism and hero/villain effect. We all want our hometown players to succeed and that goes for college alma maters too. It isn't always […]

Week 8 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

At every position other than tight end we are seeing fairly consistent names appearing in the top-10/15/25. Outside of that we still have a lot of boom-or-bust players.

Week 10 will see another […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 8

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

Nick Chubb - Welcome to the RB1 Club

Last week was tough for fantasy running backs. David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott were both studs who disappointed. Austin Ekeler was unable to step in place of the inactive Melvin Gordon over in London and we lost both LeSean McCoy and Sony Michel to injuries early in their games. When you combine all of that with […]
