Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 8

Week 7 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. Surprise, surprise. Patrick Mahomes' 32.8 points led the way and kept him firmly atop the quarterback rankings on the season. It was all about the return of the Mack in Indianapolis, […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Expected To Play Against Rams

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he feels good about both wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) playing in Week 8 against the Rams. Both players returned to practice on Wednesday after the bye week. Both Cobb and Allison were close to playing before the Week 7 bye, so it's […]

Ty Montgomery To Be Buried Again In Week 8

Green Bay running back Ty Montgomery faces a tough matchup in Week 8 when he takes on the Los Angeles Rams. Montgomery has been buried on the depth chart in Green Bay for much of this year. He really only sees action in obvious passing down situations. Despite his background as a former wide receiver, […]

Aaron Jones A High-Risk, High-Reward Play In Week 8

At some point this season, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will have a dominant game. While it seems less than likely to happen in Week 8 against the tough run defense of the Los Angeles Rams, it remains a possibility. Jones has repeatedly demonstrated that he is one of the most talented players […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Likely To See Only A Handful Of Snaps

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown has had a handful of nice plays over the last several weeks. However, we aren’t likely to see much of St. Brown going forward. Green Bay’s primary options at wide receiver, Geronimo Allison (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (hamstring), are expected to return from injury to play […]

Jamaal Williams' Usage Will Be Too Low To Produce In Week 8

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has had a rough start to the season. He is averaging 3.8 yards per carry despite fairly favorable circumstances and has yet to have a meaningful game for fantasy purposes. Additionally, he has lost ground to running back Aaron Jones, who started Green Bay’s last game. Williams was […]

Aaron Rodgers Faces Test In Week 8 Matchup

The Green Bay Packers Week 8 game against the Los Angeles Rams will be an important test for both Green Bay and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has been able to consistently produce this year despite missing some of his top targets, an injured knee, and a comically outdated offensive scheme. However, the Los Angeles Rams […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Likely To See Role Reduced in Week 8

Despite some encouraging performances, Green Bay rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is likely to spend much of Week 8 on the bench. Valdes-Scantling saw a lot of snaps and targets in Green Bay’s last two games, but with wide receivers Geronimo Allison (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (hamstring) likely returning for Week 8’s game against the […]

Packers Defense Faces Terrible Matchup In Week 8

In the aggregate, Green Bay’s defense and special teams have been a useful fantasy option in 2018. However, in Week 8 they will take on a supercharged Los Angeles Rams offense that should be able to carve Green Bay up. Green Bay has been a below average defense for most weeks this season but they […]

Below are our early Week 8 standard scoring (non-PPR) rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries and rankings updates: Dalvin Cook Could Be Out Through Bye Week Keke Coutee, Ryan Griffin Ruled Out […]

Backfields to Avoid - Rest of Season

I’m not ashamed to admit that there are certain things in life that, frankly, I’m just simply too good for. Fast food restaurants inside of gas stations, for example. No, thank you. Strong pass every time. In the same breath, gas stations in the hood. Nope. Overly corny chick flicks that give women unrealistic, fairytale […]

Aaron Rodgers Practicing In Full

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is practicing in full on Wednesday. It appears the bye week did Rodgers' left knee a lot of good. He's improving as the year progresses, so hopefully he won't suffer a setback during game action. Rodgers remains an elite QB1 and will likely have to pass often on […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday coming off the team's bye week. St. Brown will likely be able to play in Week 8 against the Rams, but there's no guarantee he'll be active with Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) expected to return after missing […]

Mason Crosby Is Back On Track

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a rough game against the Detroit Lions in Week 5. He missed four field goals and one extra-point. In Week 6 he had a confidence boost going into the bye week by making four field goals, three extra-points, and ultimately sealing a win for the Packers. The Packers […]

Jimmy Graham Remains A Solid Fantasy Option

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham has been solid this year, but he just hasn't had a breakout game. Graham caught five passes for 104 yards in Week 6. Wide receivers Geronimo Allison and Randall Cobb are back this week for the Packers' contest against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams secondary has not […]

Randall Cobb Ready For Week 8 Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is set to return this week against the Los Angeles Rams. He has been out since week 4 with a hamstring injury. Cobb probably isn't a top fantasy option this week as he likely isn't going to see a ton of targets. Davante Adams has seen a steady […]

Geronimo Allison Set For Big Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison is back from his hamstring injury. He missed two games and then had a bye week. He faces a weak Los Angeles Rams secondary this week. With fellow wide receiver Randall Cobb healthy, and Davante Adams who has been on fire it could open up Allison for some […]

Davante Adams Looking To Stay Hot

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is looking to continue his hot streak this week against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams secondary has been banged up and playing poorly. With fellow receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison back from injury it could hurt his volume, but also will take some pressure off him […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

Week 7 was a particularly chaotic one, with several big names going down with injuries and smaller names stepping up before most of us woke up (thanks, London) all the way through the night. We here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you actionable intel as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so consider […]

Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

  Some weeks, kickers put up a ton of points and they win you a week. This week was not one of those, as the leading scorer after Sunday was Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater with 14 points in standard formats. Hopefully, things turn out better this week with a new slate of games and […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison To Practice Tuesday

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) will be incorporated into practice on Tuesday. While they might not be full participants, it's a good sign after they were both close to playing before the Week 7 bye. We'd expect them both to play in […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

I like to draw inspiration from classic hip-hop lyrics when doing pretty much anything and writing is no different. When it came to summing up this week's Hero picks, I dug a little deeper than usual down my rankings list. How deep? Deep as the abyss, deeper than Atlantis, deeper than a prostitu... never mind, […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

Week 6 wrapped up with the Green Bay Packers giving survivor entries a huge scare. It looked like the Packers were done. Their defense was so bad allowing 7.3 yards per play, yet Aaron Rodgers did it again. He should win the MVP. For those of you saying Pat Mahomes should win, they were a […]

Inside the Tent - Week 7 NFL Injury Insight

Everyone held a collective breath as they watched Cooper Kupp get horse-collared by a Broncos defender and had his left knee twisted awkwardly. Thankfully, he didn't tear any ligaments and was even able to come back and play in the second half after getting carted off the field. Devonta Freeman, Leonard Fournette, and Dalvin Cook […]
