Break The Slate: NFL DFS DraftKings Lineup Picks - Week 9

The NFL season continues to roll right along as we head into Week 9. With just 10 games on the DraftKings main slate - and only two with a projected O/U of over 50 points - we'll have our work cut out for us this week! Thanks for joining me here at RotoBaller, let's dig […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 9 - Daily Fantasy Football

We are already at Week 9 and with four teams on a bye, along with an early morning London game, the player pool will be smaller than usual, and as a result, you may have to take some chances to win big in tournaments. Tampa at Seattle leads the way with a projected overall score […]

Week 9 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

In most fantasy leagues, there are just five weeks left before the playoffs begin. Time is running out. Let's take a look at the top fantasy scorers (standard scoring) at each position thus far... Deshaun Watson leads all QBs with 229.8 fantasy points at 28.7 points per game. Do-it-all back Christian McCaffrey is the highest-scoring […]

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Whereas last week was troublesome because there were so many usable DSTs, this week I did a lot of juggling because many of the typical top options have horrendous matchups. Below are RotoBaller's Week 9 defense tiers and rankings, or which defenses to stream, start and target off the waiver wire for Week 9 of […]

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9 is here, and, for some teams, the NFL season is officially halfway over. The fantasy season is even closer to being done, and wins and losses are becoming more and more important. You're jostling to get into the playoffs and ideally going for that first round bye. Kickers remain a fickle mistress. Indianapolis […]

Packers Activate Jace Sternberger From IR

The Green Bay Packers activated rookie tight end Jace Sternberger (ankle) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday. Sternberger was the 75th overall pick in the third round out of Texas A&M and has some intrigue in the long term as a pass-catching tight end. It's unlikely that he'll carve out a big role in his […]

Song Remains the Same: Josh Gordon Tempting Fantasy Players in Seattle

When the Patriots placed Josh Gordon on injured reserve before Week 8, fantasy football players had a challenging decision to make on the unreliable (but always alluring) wide receiver. They were considering cutting him because his production had been disappointing to this point in the season and his knee problems were still an issue. Because […]

Packers Defense A Decent Option For Week 9

The Green Bay Packers Defense will face off against Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Rivers has only been sacked 14 times in eight games but has thrown seven interceptions this year, tied for 20th in the NFL. The Packer come into Week 9 with 20 sacks, 15th in the NFL, […]

Mason Crosby A Solid Start In Week 9

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a strong first half of the year. The 35-year-old made at least two field goals or two extra-points in seven of eight games. He's 11 of 12 on field goals and has made all 26 extra-points this year. Playing on a Packers team that scores 26.9 points per […]

Jimmy Graham A Risky Play In Week 9

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham gets a tough matchup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 32-year-old has 21 catches for 234 yards and three touchdowns on the season and has been a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option so far. Expect that trend to continue against the Chargers, who rank 11th in the NFL […]

Geronimo Allison Can't Be Trusted Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. There should be opportunities for the 25-year-old, especially if fellow receiver Davante Adams (toe), is healthy and shadowed by elite Chargers' corner Casey Hayward. Much like Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Allison is dependent on a touchdown to return fantasy […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for Week 9 (11/3/19) - Monkey Knife Fight

Week 9 of the NFL season brings another early start in London, and quite a few competitive matchups. Heading into the weekend, there is only one Sunday game with a point spread greater than five points. (Dallas is favored by seven at the Giants on Monday night.) The relatively close nature of the point spreads […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 9

Sometimes two statements can be both totally contradictory and totally true. Technically the Miami Dolphins are trying their hardest to win every game. Also technically, when you let Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 34 times, you aren't really trying to win that game. And sometimes a professional football game can technically be played by non-professional football […]

Inside the Tent - Week 9 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 […]

Red Zone Risers/Fallers - Tevin Coleman, Julian Edelman, Derrick Henry

We are now past the mid-point of the season, meaning it is time to look at getting your roster in shape for your playoff push and beyond to the championship weeks. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Low-End Flex In Week 9

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) practiced fully on Friday and is good to go for Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. It's been an up-and-down year for the 25-year-old, who has posted as many as six catches in Week 3 and as few as one in Week 8. Still, of […]

Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones Removed From Final Injury Report

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and running back Aaron Jones (shoulder) were both full participants in Friday's practice. Neither of their injuries appeared to be serious-though it's nice to see both players removed from the final injury report. Rodgers is a QB1 but could have added upside if wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) […]

Davante Adams Listed As Questionable Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) will be listed as questionable, and a decision on his status for Week 9 against the Chargers will be announced 90 minutes before the game. So he's a game-time decision. Adams was limited all week and seems to be on the […]

Week 9 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 8 saw the dramatic return of Drew Brees following his early-season thumb surgery. The Saints just kept rolling, posting 31 points on the leaky Arizona defense. The Eagles and Lions also each hung 31 points on their opponents while the Tevin Coleman-led 49ers went crazy on Carolina with 51 points. The […]

Jamaal Williams A Good Option In Week 9

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has a great matchup ahead of him in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Since Week 6, Williams' rushing attempts have been a bit volatile, tallying a season-high 14 against the Lions but a season-low three against Oakland the following week. Fortunately for Williams, he's seen at […]

Aaron Jones Is A Must-Start Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday and reportedly was seen on the practice field on Thursday. Jones injured the shoulder during the game against Kansas City but was able to return, which bodes well for his Week 9 status. The 24-year-old Jones is coming off one of […]

Davante Adams In Helmet And Pads

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is practicing in helmet and pads on Thursday for the first time since his Sept. 26 turf toe injury. It's another sign that he's on track to return in Week 9 against the Chargers this Sunday. There's no guarantee that Adams will play this weekend, but all […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Derek Carr, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill

The NFL trade deadline was a yawn. Let’s hope the rest of your fantasy football season isn’t. Fantasy footballers have to contend with another four-team bye week that takes all of the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons out of play. But even with a slightly smaller player pool to […]
