Jaguars Defense Might Have Another Tough Week

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense hasn't played at the same level this year as it has in the past, and Sunday's meeting with the Indianapolis Colts could lead to another disappointing outing for the Jags. They'll be without Dante Fowler moving forward, who they traded to the Rams at the deadline, and have to face a […]

Dede Westbrook Has Deep League Upside In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook had the team's highest snap share among wide receivers against the Eagles in Week 8 and looks to be the team's top receiver moving forward, though he has posted low yardage totals over the past few games. In Week 10, he gets a meeting with the Colts, who have […]

Keelan Cole Isn't A Good Fantasy Option In Week 10

Despite opening the season as the favorite to lead the receiving group, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole has dropped down the team's pecking order. In Week 8 against the Eagles, he saw a snap percentage of just 23, far behind Dede Westbrook, Donte Moncrief, and rookie D.J. Chark, who has started to grow into […]

T.J. Yeldon Remains A Solid PPR Play In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon has been targeted five or more times in all but one game so far this season, and even with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) back in the lineup, Yeldon's upside as the receiver makes him a good flex option in PPR leagues this week against a Colts team that has allowed […]

Leonard Fournette Has Plenty Of Upside In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to return to the Jaguars lineup in Week 10 against a Colts defense that gives up the 13th-most fantasy points to the running back position. Fournette does have a little more of a crowd in the backfield now that T.J. Yeldon looks like a strong receiving […]

Blake Bortles Set For Good Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles finds himself in a good position in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite some struggles at times this year, Bortles meets a defense that allowed three touchdown passes to the Raiders in Week 8 and would look a lot worse on paper had it not been for a dominant […]

Week 10 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Howdy, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings front and center and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).  Who am I and why should you care? I was the ninth-most accurate in-season expert on FantasyPros out of 125 last season and am currently 26th out of 130 in 2018. One […]

Week 10 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

The NFL season continues to tick along, and as we reach the first week of the season that has two numbers inside of one number in its name, we start to reach panic mode for some fantasy owners. You're sitting at 3-6 and you know another loss dooms you, and you can't risk putting someone […]

Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

Inside the Tent - Week 10 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 […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

Rookie Running Back Overview, ROS Outlook

It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes. Kareem Hunt (2017) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016) are the recent examples, while the Saquon Barkley breakout of 2018 has taken absolutely no one by surprise. Prior to this season, I […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?

I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of […]

A.J. Bouye Won't Play In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye (calf) said he will not play in Week 10 against the Colts. It's disappointing that Bouye wasn't able to return following the team's bye week. It's a slight boost to Colts quarterback Andrew Luck's matchup and his receivers as they come off their bye week as well.

Leonard Fournette Practicing In Full Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is practicing in full on Wednesday. Fournette, one of the biggest fantasy busts of the year, has played in parts of just two games this year. He had the bye week to heal, though, and looks to be on track to return in Week 10 against the Colts. […]

Leonard Fournette, Blake Bortles To Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), quarterback Blake Bortles (shoulder) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are all expected to practice on Wednesday. Fournette hasn't seen game action since Sept. 30, but he's expected to be back this weekend against the Colts. While the Jags are likely to ease him into a full workload, […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

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. […]

Duke Johnson Is Fantasy-Relevant Once Again

I was facing a dilemma in one of my fantasy leagues last week with Patriots rookie Sony Michel (knee) questionable to play in the Sunday night game. Should I risk rolling with him and then possibly having to pick up Cordarrelle Patterson or Jamaal Williams at the last minute if Michel was inactive? My other […]

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The exodus of Carlos Hyde to Jacksonville did not send Johnson’s value skyrocketing to the same level that has been experienced by teammate Nick Chubb, nor did the departure of Hyde pave a path for Johnson to collect more touches in Weeks 7-8. But the collective […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 10, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to lingering injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers. Fortunately, you now have an opportunity to utilize your […]

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the season rolls on, the kicker position is always a tough one to gauge. There are so few players locked in as starters that you sometimes have to hope you get lucky. After producing double digits only three times all season, why would Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey put up 11 this week? That's […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]

Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed

We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk […]

Leonard Fournette Going Through Drills Monday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) went through individual drills on Monday for the first time since aggravating his hamstring in Week 4. Tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) was also getting some work in. It's believed that Fournette will return in Week 10 to face the Colts, but it's not completely official. The fact […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Picks

It's time to forget what you thought you knew. Halfway through the year, NFL teams now have a good idea whether they are contenders or simply playing for next year's draft picks. The trade deadline has passed, shaking up depth charts across the league. That means it is also time to throw that "draft stock" […]

Week 9 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

It is a really tough week with six teams on a bye. Fantasy rosters will be stretched and owners will be desperately looking for options who can give them solid production. It may not be the most amazing upside in the world but when every team is hurting a solid six or seven points from […]
