Week 17 is here and it comes with mixed feelings. On one hand this is one of the most thrilling weeks on calendar. All 32 teams are playing in the space of 12 hours and the playoff scenarios could change hundreds or thousands of times on Sunday. However, this is also the end of regular […]

Week 17 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

The NFL regular season ends on Sunday. It was a year that saw the emergence of Patrick Mahomes and the fall-off of Tom Brady, a year where rookie running backs like Saquon Barkley and Phillip Lindsay put up big numbers, and one where the some of the same names continued atop the wide receiver and […]

Hello, you faithful Week 17 readers, and welcome to the final (unofficial) edition of my weekly rankings article where I stump for myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings.

Inside the Tent - Week 17 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 […]

Spencer Ware, Darrel Williams Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs running backs Spencer Ware (hamstring) and Darrel Williams (hamstring) both practiced in full all week but are questionable for Week 17 against the Raiders. Barring a setback, we'd expect both to suit up against Oakland. Ware has missed the last two games and will likely enter a timeshare with Damien Williams, who […]

Derrick Henry - Fantasy Football Legend

Fantasy football legends come in all different shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Sometimes it's the stars that shine even brighter when all eyes are on them. We saw this with Todd Gurley last season. Other times, it's the guys who fall into a bigger role due to unforeseen circumstances. It's how we saw Damien Williams, […]

Damien Williams Receives Two-Year Extension

The Kansas City Chiefs and running back Damien Williams agreed to a two-year contract extension worth a maximum value of $8.1 million on Thursday, according to his agent. With Kareem Hunt out of the picture and Spencer Ware out injured the last two weeks, Williams has gone over 100 total yards from scrimmage and has […]

Spencer Ware On Track To Return

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday. Ware has missed the last two games but looks on his way to returning in Week 17 against the Raiders. In an excellent matchup, Ware would have low-end RB2 value if he's active this Sunday. Hurting his upside is the fact that […]

Week 17 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 17 of the 2018 season, and, for most of us, the fantasy season is all but over. A large number of fantasy championships took place last week, but there are a few of us that have matchups that have trickled into the final week. If you're still going, you likely still want to win, […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The final week of the NFL season always brings a high degree of uncertainty, unexpected breakouts, and a slew of DNPs for star players. This is why the majority of fantasy football leagues play their championship in Week 16. If you are in a league that waits until the final week for its Super Bowl […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round

Chris Conley is Quiet Once Again

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has collected a total of seven receptions over the last three weeks. Conley has been filling in for Sammy Watkins (foot), but he's done basically nothing over the last few weeks. Conley caught three of his five targets for 54 yards in the loss to the Seahawks. Fantasy […]

Travis Kelce Grabs Five Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was not the best fantasy option this week and was held in check fairly well by the Seahawks defense. Kelce caught five of his nine targets for 54 yards and he did not have a touchdown. Kelce broke his four game streak of having at least 60 receiving […]

Tyreek Hill is Disappointing in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has not been much of a fantasy option over the last two weeks. Hill caught four of his nine targets for 74 yards and was held out of the end zone in the 38-31 loss to the Seahawks. Hill did not record a reception until halfway through the […]

Damien Williams Continues His Success Versus Seattle

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has seemingly come out of nowhere and put together three straight solid fantasy performances. Williams rushed 13 times for 103 yards and caught seven passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Seahawks in Week 16. He'll continue to be a solid fantasy option […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws 3 TDs in Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes started off slow on Sunday, but found a way to salvage his fantasy value in Week 16. Mahomes finished 23-for-40 with 273 passing yards and three touchdowns without an interception in the 38-31 loss to Seattle. Mahomes has lost some weapons on offense which has hindered his success over […]

Week 16 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The (6-8) Denver Broncos and (3-11) Oakland Raiders have combined for fewer wins this season than 20-percent of the remaining teams in the NFL; individually. If we were somehow able to fuse quarterbacks Case Keenum and Derek Carr, the resulting Casrek Kerrum would have the same amount of touchdown passes as Andrew Luck and 11 […]

Spencer Ware Ruled Out In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Seahawks. Ware was doubtful to begin with, so fantasy owners weren't counting on him anyway. Damien Williams saw the most carries last Thursday with Ware out and should do so again. Williams had two touchdowns on the […]

I hope this piece gives you a glimpse […]

Damien Williams Is A Must Start In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams is likely to handle the majority of the workload against the Seahawks in Week 16 as Spencer Ware (hamstring) is doubtful for the game. Williams is coming off his best game of the season last week against the Chargers where he accumulated 49 rushing yards and two touchdowns […]
