As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 is upon us, and the NFL kickers remain as impossible as ever to predict. A week after finishing third among kickers, Tenessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop finished with zero points. New York Jets kicker Jason Myers finished as a top-20 scorer among all players in most formats this week. There are some juicy […]

Harrison Butker Knocks Down Four Field Goals

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had an incredible fantasy day in the 43-40 loss to the Patriots. Butker kicked his season-high three field goals last week against Jacksonville, but already beat that against New England. Butker hit all four of his field goal attempts on Sunday. He managed to knock down two field goals […]

Sammy Watkins is Held to Two Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was held to just two receptions for 18 yards in the 43-40 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Watkins did not record a catch until the third quarter. It was all Tyreek Hill in this one, so Travis Kelce and Watkins just watched the show. Watkins still has […]

Travis Kelce Hauls in Five Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce did most his work in the first half against the Patriots on Sunday. Kelce did not record a catch in the second half, but it was all Tyreek Hill for this game. Kelce caught five passes for 61 yards, but did not find the end zone in this […]

Tyreek Hill Performs Phenomenally Versus Pats

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an absolutely phenomenal game against the New England Patriots in Week 6. Hill caught seven passes for 142 yards and three touchdowns. He was targeted 12 times, so it could've been an even bigger game for Hill if that's imaginable. He scored a 75-yard touchdown to tie […]

Kareem Hunt is Solid on Both Ends Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was impressive in both the running game and passing attack on Sunday. Hunt rushed 10 times for 80 yards and caught five passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Patriots. Hunt saw his lowest amount of rushing attempts this season, but managed to […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Four TDs Against Patriots

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes bounced back on Sunday after not throwing a single touchdown in Week 5. Mahomes went 23-for-36 with 352 passing yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions against the Patriots on Sunday. Mahomes struggled in the first half, but came alive in the second half. He's thrown for over 300 […]

Week 6 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The San Francisco 49ers (1-4) have faced the Green Bay Packers (2-2-1) a total of 15 times over the past 20 seasons... They're 5-10 over those 15 games. Of those 15 matchups, eight were played at Lambeau Field... San Fran is 2-6 over those eight. Now I get it, this Monday Night Football matchup will […]

Justin Houston, Eric Berry Won't Play Against Patriots

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) and safety Eric Berry (heel) will be out on Sunday night against the Patriots. This comes as no surprise. Houston is week-to-week and Berry hasn't practiced or played yet in the regular season. An already weak KC defense gets even weaker without Houston, who is one of their […]

Week 6 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Howdy, y'all, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings under the microscope and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). My hope is to help you understand why I’m significantly higher or lower on players than the expert crowd. Do note that the ECR is likely to shift a bit! Who […]

Week 6 Consistency Reports - All Positions

We now have over a quarter of a seasons worth of data at our fingertips and the cream has well and truly risen to the top. There are still some interesting names high in the rankings at quarterback and tight end. However, these are generally more variable positions. That is why both positions are often […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 6 Lineup

In an effort to expand my horizons, I've gotten involved with a bit of a... strange club at work. It came up organically, one co-worker to another, over a quick in-office chat. How familiar was I with card games? Oh yeah, I knew where this was going. "Pretty good," I said, "and even when I'm […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

Week 6 Red Zone Risers - Players With Scoring Potential

We're starting to get a sense of which players are integral parts of their team's offense, especially in the red zone. And we all know as fantasy players that touches in this area more often than not lead to players scoring the thing that will send your team into victory each week- touchdowns. Still, injuries […]

Week 6 DraftKings Power Pivots - NFL DFS

Welcome back RotoBallers! Thanks for checking out Power Pivots, where we discuss some alternative player options for DraftKings GPP's. Week 5 was a tough one for me personally and I never found a lineup combination that I truly loved. Unfortunately, bad weeks are a part of DFS and are something we have to learn to […]

Week 6 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 5 brought yet another big offensive performance from Todd Gurley while Adam Thielen added a fifth 100-yard outing in as many games. The Chiefs' elite offense was able to trump the Jaguars' elite defense in a dominating 30-14 win. The Steelers held up their end of the bargain in a 41-17 […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 7 Edition)

Traditional powers appear to be back in a big way in college football. Texas has bounced back from their week 1 loss to Maryland and appears to be a contender in the Big12. Notre Dame has beaten what appears to be their most difficult match ups and now look to be among the favorites to […]

Eric Berry Doubtful For Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) will be listed as doubtful for Week 6 against the Patriots on Sunday night. What's new? Berry hasn't practiced or played at all in the regular season, and there remains no timetable for his return. A Chiefs secondary that has given up big plays all year could be […]

Justin Houston Doubtful For Sunday Night

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) will be doubtful to play on Sunday night against the Patriots while dealing with a sore hamstring. He was unable to practice all week. Against a Patriots team at full strength on offense, losing Houston, one of their best pass rushers, is a big blow to an already […]

De'Anthony Thomas Fractures Leg Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver De'Anthony Thomas (leg) fractured his leg in practice on Thursday and will likely miss the rest of the season. It's a tough break for Thomas after he suffered the same injury in 2017. The 25-year-old had just three catches on five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in five […]

Sophomore Slumps: Should You Buy Low On Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette?

Please oh please can someone go revive Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette? Fortunately it appears as if the former will be available as early as this Sunday, but we are running out of time before these guys have sufficiently ruined fantasy teams. These two sophomore running backs were drafted as early as the back end […]

Travis Kelce is Elite Choice for Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has finished with at least 100 receiving yards or more in three of the last four games. Kelce was able to score a touchdown in the one contest where he didn't hit 100 yards during that span. He'll face a Patriots defense that has allowed four touchdowns to […]

Sammy Watkins Expected to Be Ready for Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is practicing in full for Week 6. Watkins was able to play through a questionable tag last week, so he should be fine for this contest. Watkins has been reliable this season when he's been healthy. He goes up against a Patriots secondary that has allowed the […]

Tyreek Hill is Reliable WR1 Against Pats

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has failed to score or go over 61 receiving yards during the last three games. However, Hill did have to face some difficult pass defenses, but has an easier matchup against the Patriots in Week 6. The Pats defense has allowed the sixth most receptions to opposing wide […]
