Inside the Tent - Week 15 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 […]

Dede Westbrook Should See Expanded Role

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook should be the team's top weapon on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders with fellow receiver D.J. Chark already ruled out. Westbrook entered the year as the team's number one target, but Chark emerged as a key deep threat and Westbrook dealt with injuries. Now, though, the third-year receiver has […]

Leonard Fournette Still Solid Fantasy Option

Despite struggling in Week 14 against the Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should still be considered a solid RB2 in Week 15 against the Oakland Raiders. Fournette dominates the backfield touches on this Jaguars team and has seen his role as a pass-catcher increase over the past three games. The Raiders Defense hasn't […]

Gardner Minshew Is Intriguing Week 15 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew threw for just 162 yards in his return to the starting role last week, but he should be in line to surpass that when Jacksonville faces the Oakland Raiders in Week 15. Oakland allows the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing passers, and the last time Minshew started against […]

D.J. Chark Ruled Out For Week 15 Vs Raiders

The Jacksonville Jaguars have ruled out wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

With Chark out, Dede Westbrook, Chris Conley and Keelan Cole all receive boosts in fantasy value. Westbrook […]

D.J. Chark Won't Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) will miss his second straight practice of the week on Thursday.

D.J. Chark Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Chark was seen wearing a walking boot on Monday and is listed as week-to-week, so there's a chance he may not play again this season. Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley are both worth using in fantasy lineups this weekend against the Raiders if […]

Week 14 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 14, the quarterback position was littered with surprises. Drew Brees dropped over 40 fantasy points on a 49ers Defense that's given up the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season and Jameis Winston hung 456 yards and 5 touchdowns on a Colts Defense that's been solid against the pass all year. Mitch […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 15 Lightning Round

Not only was Josh Jacobs was a late inactive, but Jared Cook, Devante Parker, Albert Wilson all left with concussions, Mike Evans pulled up with a hamstring injury, Calvin Ridley and Ryan Griffin hurt their ankles, Derrius […]

Chris Conley Held To One Reception

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley had seen an uptick in usage lately, but that usage was virtually non-existent in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Conley caught just one pass for seven yards and was targeted three times. Maybe the change in quarterback was bad for Conley's fantasy value, or maybe it was just a […]

Dede Westbrook Doesn't Do Much Against Chargers

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught six passes for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. With Gardner Minshew back under center, it was back to being one of those "Westbrook only gets targeted close to the line of scrimmage" days that makes him unplayable in standard scoring leagues. That's likely […]

Nick O'Leary Catches First Touchdown Of 2019

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Nick O'Leary caught his first touchdown since joining the Jags in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. On the day, O'Leary caught four passes for 30 yards and the score. He was targeted five times. O'Leary's been targeted at least four times in each of his games with his new […]

D.J. Chark Is Bright Spot In Week 14

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark made the most of a bad situation in Sunday's blowout loss to the Chargers, catching a team-high nine passes for 75 yards. He was targeted 10 times. With Gardner Minshew back in the starting lineup, Chark is back to being the top receiving option for the Jags. He's the […]

Leonard Fournette Never Gets Going

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had a good matchup on Sunday against the Chargers, but was never really able to take advantage of that, rushing 15 times for 50 yards and adding 13 receiving yards on three catches. Fournette had a fairly sizable drop in passing game usage and the game script kept him […]

Gardner Minshew Plays Like A Rookie

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew returned to the starting lineup on Sunday against the Chargers and...well, it didn't go that well. Minshew was 24-for-37 throwing the ball for 162 yards and a touchdown while adding 31 yards on the ground. It could have been worse for Minshew, but it also could have been much, much […]
