Sammy Watkins Questionable To Return Monday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is questionable to return to the Monday night game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury. Watkins had one target before leaving the game with an injury. So far in this game, Tyreek Hill and running back Kareem Hunt have been the offense against. Hopefully for fantasy […]

Eric Berry Inactive Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive on Monday night against the Denver Broncos. The veteran has yet to practice this year and has no timetable for a return to a struggling secondary that could really use his presence. Facing KC's secondary gives Broncos quarterback Case Keenum a little more appeal as a […]

Week 4 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Well, last week's bust broke the trend of having a quarterback totally destroy my thinking, as Philip Rivers ended up being very good but not, like, astronomically so like when I predicted a Week 1 bust by Patrick Mahomes and a Week 2 bust by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Anyway, y'all -- it's already Week 4. For […]

Week 4 DraftKings Power Pivots - NFL DFS

Hello RotoBaller football family! Welcome back to Power Pivots, where we discuss some alternative player options for use in DraftKings tournaments. As we saw last week, chalk plays don't always work.

Week 4 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! After two mostly calm weeks to open the season, Week 3 brought plenty of upsets (hello Vikings) and some surprise fantasy performances (Calvin Ridley with the touchdown hat trick).

Travis Kelce Has Great Matchup in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has a great chance to have an excellent game against the Broncos in Week 4. The Broncos defense has allowed nearly 80 yards a game to tight ends this season. Kelce has put together back-to-back games with over 100 yards or more. He's going to be an elite […]

Sammy Watkins Has WR3 Upside in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has put together two solid performances after a Week 1 dud. A change of scenery has really helped Watkins this season. Watkins still has fantasy value despite being the third option behind Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Watkins has WR3 upside against a Broncos pass defense that has […]

Tyreek Hill Should Bounce Back in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill failed to find the end zone for the first time this season during the Week 3 victory over the 49ers. It was a rough week for Hill as he only caught two passes for 51 yards. It appears that was likely just a fluke week as Travis Kelce […]

Kareem Hunt Could Struggle in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt might not be able to find room to run against a Broncos run defense that has been strong this season. Hunt has only rushed for over 50 yards once through three games. It appears he does not have the same ceiling that he did last season. The Chiefs […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Excellent Option in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes set a new NFL record with 13 touchdowns through his first three games. Mahomes has been truly been excellent and basically unstoppable this season. There should be no reason that Mahomes slows down in Week 4 against a Broncos team that has struggled. Mahomes owners should be in for […]

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.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We know nothing. When I say "we," I am referring collectively to all of us who follow the NFL and play fantasy football on a regular basis of course. We were certain the Vikings-Bills game would be a blowout... but not in Buffalo's favor. The Patriots weren't going to let former assistant coach Matt Patricia […]

Week 4 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 3 was a grueling reminder to fantasy footballer owners of how tough it can be to play this game. You spend all off-season studying up on your favorite players, you draft well and then you are hit with injury after injury, leaving your team depleted and unproductive. There were many talented players who sat […]

Week 4 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It's Baker Mayfield Time -- Get Your Bids Ready

Thursday night's Jets/Browns game started out as one of those ugh, why are we watching this kind of games, the kind that prompted me to ask on Twitter if two teams had ever tied at zero points apiece (answer: not since 1943) and spend large chunks of the first half washing dishes. Then, Baker Mayfield happened. Browns […]

Chiefs Still Asking About Earl Thomas

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to ask about Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas, according to a team source. However, the source admits that it would be a difficult trade to pull off. The interest in Thomas isn't related to concerns over the health of safety Eric Berry (heel), who has yet to play this […]

Chris Conley, Demetrius Harris Both Score in Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Chris Conley and Demetrius Harris both found the end zone in the Week 3 victory over the 49ers. Conley finished with two receptions for 13 yards and one touchdown. He was only targeted three times, but that is really all you can expect with Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins above […]

Tyreek Hill Has Disappointing Performance

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had a rare disappointing game on Sunday. Hill caught two passes for 51 yards and was unable to find the end zone.
