LeSean McCoy Should Have Low-End RB2 Value
Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has seen a majority of the carries in the backfield for the team over the last few weeks. Lead back Damien Williams has not been used as much lately, which is making McCoy a better fantasy option. However, McCoy heads into a tough matchup against the Vikings Defense. […]
Damien Williams is Risky Versus Vikings
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams finished with a season-high 30 rushing yards in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. The fact 30 yards is his best running performance of the season is discouraging. Veteran LeSean McCoy seems to get most of the touches over the last few weeks. Williams has only […]
Matt Moore Has Low-End Value in Week 9
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played fairly well in the Week 8 loss to the Packers, but fantasy owners shouldn't lean on the veteran. He completed 24 of 36 passing attempts for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has been practicing and has a chance to suit up versus the […]
Patrick Mahomes Has A Chance To Play Sunday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has a chance to play in Week 9 against the Vikings, according to sources. Mahomes took second-team repetitions in limited practices all week, but he'll be a game-time decision. The 2018 MVP will be a must-start if he's active despite a tough matchup against the Vikings, and his […]
Chiefs Activate Chad Henne From Injured Reserve
The Kansas City Chiefs activated quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday, which is another indication that Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss another week. The Chiefs will work Henne out before the game against the Vikings to see if he'll be active as Matt Moore's backup. With Mahomes on track to return […]
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 […]
Week 9 DFS Cash Game Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings
Week 9 brings with it a reduced featured slate, as not only do we have four teams on a bye, but also an early kickoff in London. Therefore, we are left with a 10-game slate, reducing our options. However, there are still plenty of values to be found for our cash game lineups. This is […]
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 […]
Patrick Mahomes Listed As Questionable
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Patrick Mahomes (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Vikings. Mahomes continues to practice on a limited basis, but Week 10 is the better target date for his return. Expect Matt Moore to get his second straight start this Sunday. While he was pretty solid in Week […]
Bell's Hell - Can Le'Veon Turn Things Around?
As soon as it came, it went. The trade deadline arrived and passed without the New York Jets moving Le'Veon Bell out of town as it was speculated in the hours prior to the market closing. The relation between the player and the organization seems to have been sour for a while now. It didn't […]
Chris Jones On Track To Return For Chiefs Defense
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) returned to a full practice on Thursday and could be on track to return in Week 9 against the Vikings for the first time since Oct. 6. The 25-year-old is instrumental in the team's run defense, so getting Jones back this Sunday would be huge as they […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9
Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through. The owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

They decide who to start or sit among those in WR3 or flex consideration. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube to get all our latest […]
Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 9
The Minnesota Vikings are becoming a true contender. Even though the Vikings air raid looked strong with quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing for 285 passing yards and wideout Stefon Diggs eclipsing the 100 receiving yard mark in a 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins, running back Dalvin Cook stole the show with 171 total yards and […]
Patrick Mahomes A Limited Participant
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Mahomes has made good progress from a dislocated kneecap, but he was inactive last week and isn't a lock to return in Week 9 against the Vikings. Week 10 is the more realistic target date for the superstar quarterback, but […]
Warning Signs: Le'Veon Bell, Courtland Sutton, George Kittle
What have we learned this season in fantasy football? Well. Quite a bit. With the Browns, we have learned that elite parts do not make a great machine. When it comes to the 49ers, we have learned the only way to use a run game to bleed games is when you have the defense to […]
Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Devin Singletary, Robert Woods, Odell Beckham
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.

The Tape Tells All - Ryan Tannehill Fantasy Analysis
Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who took over for Marcus Mariota and has quickly breathed some life into the […]
The Forthcoming Resurrection of Cam Newton
After Kyle Allen’s 4-0 start as the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, many fans and analysts were clamoring for his permanent placement atop the depth chart. They believed Cam Newton was essentially finished and less efficient than Allen when he was actually on the field. Then Allen imploded against a tough San Francisco defense […]
Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
As we enter the second half of the fantasy regular season, all eyes will be on the news wire as the trade deadline approaches. We already recommended some players to add/stash/acquire ahead of October 29, so hopefully you were able to take action this past week. If not, don't worry - there are still plenty of […]
We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers
Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 9)
This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]
