Six Bold Predictions for 2016 - Robert Griffin III, Arian Foster and Devonta Freeman

Predictions are like opinions - everybody's got one. Actually, they're like something else too, but we keep it clean here on Rotoballer.com. Of course, if all predictions came true, then Miss Cleo wouldn't have had such a thriving business. Nevertheless, here are six bold predictions for the upcoming football season that will almost certainly come true […]

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Kevin White

As the #7 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, Kevin White was supposed to be the Bears' replacement for perennial Pro-Bowler Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall. A stress fracture in his shin changed those plans, as he required surgery in the pre-season and didn't see the field during his rookie season. Chicago is hoping White will finally […]

Position, Team, NFL Draft Spot: WR, Cleveland Browns, 4.14 Dynasty Positional Rank: 100+ Redraft Target Round: Unranked, not viable for 2016 Analysis: The Browns clearly set a goal to improve their wide receiver situation in the NFL Draft.

Sophomore Slump - Five 2015 Rookies Who Won't Live Up To 2016 ADP

The dreaded sophomore slump can strike without warning. It is widely assumed that rookies will improve with experience, but that is not always the case. Whether it's a change in usage, a new coaching staff, stiffer competition or simple regression, a player may not match the expectations raised by their rookie performance. Here is a look […]

Gary Barnidge Blows Barn Door Open in 2015

It took Gary Barnidge seven years to make his mark in the NFL but he made up for lost time in 2015. At the ripe age of 30, Barnidge was a revelation for the Cleveland Browns and finished the year as the number two ranked fantasy tight end. At 6'6 and 250 pounds, you would […]

Week 17 Daily Fantasy Football Lineup Stacks

The majority of traditional, season-long fantasy football leagues ended this past weekend, but thanks to daily fantasy, you don't have to suffer through a football-less weekend just yet. DFS contests typically run through conference championship weekend, meaning you've got another month of fantasy football. And if you hope to cash in DFS, you'll want to consider […]

Each week of the NFL season, we will be breaking down each of the NFL matchups and providing you with some fantasy football advice and lineup recommendations based on matchups that we love, matchups that we hate, […]

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

Week 16 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins & Johnny Manziel

Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable. Meanwhile Alex Smith fell victim to game flow as the Chiefs went up 21-7 early behind a big Charcandrick West run and a defensive score. […]

Is Johnny Manziel Turning the Corner?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m kind of disappointed that Johnny Manziel hasn’t run more this season, because that would make him a LOT more interesting from a fantasy perspective. Out of the quarterbacks owned in under 25% of leagues, I still like him the most anyway, as […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 14: Jameis Winston, Devonta Freeman, Randall Cobb & More!

Congratulations to all who made the postseason! There’s a lot of luck involved in head-to-head fantasy football on a week-to-week basis, but making the playoffs is a true test of skill. Getting in usually requires at least seven or eight wins, and we all know how difficult it can be to get a win in […]

Week 14 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyler Lockett, Austin Seferian-Jenkins & More

December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with. Of course now we can fall into the trap of drawing too much value from year long statistics that really aren't so accurate, as the team looked quite different in its first […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 14: Ted Ginn Jr., Dorial Green-Beckham, Tyler Lockett

It's here. Finally. No, not Star Wars: The Force Awakens, nor Christmas, though both are inching closer. The fantasy football postseason is finally here! If you play in season-long redraft leagues, this is what you've been working toward all season. The standard format generally features a 13-week regular season, followed by a three- or four-week playoff bracket […]

Brian Hartline (WR, CLE) Has Earned Himself a Major Role in Cleveland

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is certainly not a flashy pick, but it's a relatively safe one, particularly in PPR leagues. Brian Hartline has at least six receptions and 70 yards in each of Cleveland's last three games. Again, hardly flashy, but there's something to be said […]

Will Jeremy Hill Outplay Giovanni Bernard Today?

The Cincinnati Bengals travel to Cleveland on Sunday for a matchup of two bitter division rivals. The Bengals are coming off of a nice win against the St. Louis Rams while the Cleveland Browns are still trying to recover from that heartbreaker against the Baltimore Ravens. One thing that fantasy owners will likely have their […]

Daily Divide - Week 13 DFS Lineup Picks

Daily Divide: Week 13 Nathan and Matt each offer Week 13 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 sound decisions for their DFS lineups. Hearts and stomachs full from our recent Thanksgiving feast, […]

Week 13 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Alex Smith, C.J. Anderson, David Johnson & More!

December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with. Of course now we can fall into the trap of drawing too much value from year long statistics that really aren't so accurate, as the team looked quite different in its first […]

Week 12 Monday Night Football Analysis: Javorius Allen, Gary Barnidge, Matt Schaub

This is a matchup that doesn't offer much in terms of real life implications. Both teams have had rough seasons and have 26 guys either on injured reserve or that are just out for this game. The players left are a giant pile of fantasy potential just waiting to be sorted through to find that […]

Week 12 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Ryan Tannehill, Ronnie Hillman, Tyler Lockett & More

Everyone has now feasted on their turduckens and we're ready to roll out of our food coma and check out what the deal is with Week 12 DFS for the weekend. The game with the highest projected point total from Vegas is the Washington-New York tilt which has a line of 47.5 points. Tampa Bay/Indianapolis, […]

Week 12 Boom and Bust Candidates: Drew Brees, Odell Beckham Jr., LeSean McCoy & More

We’re at the point of the season where just one more win may get you into the postseason, and just one more loss may keep you out. It may be the most wonderful time of the year as far as holiday season, but in fantasy football land, this is the end of the line for […]

Week 12 Deeper Sleepers: Stacking Texans and Dealing With the Injury Bug

Did you enjoy the quick reprieve of mostly-injury-free football we experienced in Week 10? Good, because Week 11 was a bloodbath. We saw four high-end running backs go down (Devonta Freeman, Charcandrick West, Justin Forsett, Marshawn Lynch) along with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Zach Ertz leaving with concussions. Same rules as always - in this column we will […]

Why You Should Let Isaiah Crowell Sit in FA

BALLER MOVE: Leave on the waiver wire OWNED IN: 65% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns have averaged 75.6 rushing yards per game, the second fewest in the NFL. Crowell has a measly 328 rushing yards on 107 attempts, and only one rushing touchdown to go with it. After season-highs of 72 and 63 rushing […]

Week 12 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Jameis Winston, Brock Osweiler, Johnny Manziel

In Week 11, all three of my waiver wire streamers from last week's column reached double digits, but none of them really went off. I felt like Ryan Fitzpatrick really didn’t play well at all but he saved his day with a rushing score. On the opposite end, Alex Smith had a great game with […]

Week 10 Boom and Bust Candidates: DeMarco Murray, Allen Robinson, Marshawn Lynch & More

The fantasy football regular season is winding down, players are dropping like flies to injuries and fantasy owners are hoping they can survive the carnage. If you’re entering this week still in the playoff hunt, you deserve some credit. Injuries, under-performance and bad luck destroy a lot of fantasy football seasons. Being alive at this […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 10 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 10 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings targets. An introduction is not really all that necessary, as the title of this DFS article pretty much sums up what is going to be discussed. It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

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 […]

Thursday Night Matchups: Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Gary Barnidge & More

There are four undefeated teams remaining in the NFL, three hail from the AFC and one is playing on Thursday Night Football. The 7-0 Cincinnati Bengals host the Cleveland Browns, looking to have a field day against a Browns team that has lost three straight. To spice things up for the viewing public, the Browns […]

A.J. Green and Jeremy Hill Should Shine vs Browns

Thursday night's game features a matchup between the division rival Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.  The Bengals are 7-0 and are one of the hottest teams in the NFL.  The Bengals' high-powered offense is led by quarterback Andy Dalton, but he has a great supporting cast of weapons to utilize. Dalton's clear top option in […]
