Warning Signals - RB / WR / TE

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks (Week 2): Daily Fantasy Football Advice

RotoBallers, welcome to Week 2 of the daily fantasy football season. In this column, you will find my recommended FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks to target for Week 2 of the NFL season. The goal is to identify players to start on FanDuel this week based on various factors including the opponent, the player's opportunity, analysis of the game's […]

Travis Kelce Should Rebound in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce finished with just one reception in the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. He was targeted six times, but clearly does not have chemistry with new quarterback Patrick Mahomes just yet. The Steelers defense was strong against tight ends last season. It's tough to imagine Kelce having a […]

Sammy Watkins Remains Shaky Option for Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had an underwhelming performance against the Chargers in Week 1. He caught three passes for 21 yards and did not score a touchdown. Watkins will face off against a Steelers defense that kept the Browns to 150 yards in Week 1. Cleveland is not known for their great […]

Tyreek Hill Remains WR1 in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an impressive game against the Chargers in Week 1. Hill finished with 169 yards and two touchdowns, while also scoring a punt return. He'll face a Steelers defense that struggled to contain Jarvis Landry in Week 1. Hill should have no problem against the Steelers in Week […]

Kareem Hunt Should Run Wild in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was held to 49 rushing yards during the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. Hunt is normally able to at least be mediocre even on a bad week, but he couldn't get anything going in Week 1. He should play better in Week 2 against a Steelers defense […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Face Tougher Challenge in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was absolutely fantastic during the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. He threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns without a single interception. However, the Steelers defense held the Browns to 150 passing yards in Week 1. To be fair, the Browns aren't known for their great offense, but […]

Eric Berry Still Out Thursday Ahead Of Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains out of practice on Thursday. At this point, Berry seems doubtful to play in Week 2 against the Steelers. KC's secondary is ripe for the picking without Berry in the picture. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his receivers are strong plays this weekend as a result.

Eric Berry Still Out Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) will not practice on Wednesday, but head coach Andy Reid said Berry is "making progress." Unless Berry makes it back to practice on Thursday, it's likely that he'll sit out for the second straight week. KC's secondary was torched by Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in the season opener, […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

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. […]

Travis Kelce is Quiet in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was surprisingly quiet in the 38-28 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. Kelce was held to one catch for six yards and did not score a touchdown. He was targeted six times, but was just unable to haul in a majority of the throws. It was a quiet […]

Sammy Watkins Finishes With Three Catches

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins did not have an excellent Chiefs debut, but was still able to get involved on Sunday. Watkins finished with three receptions for 21 yards and he was unable to find the end zone in the 38-28 victory over the Chargers. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are the main […]

Tyreek Hill Has Two-Touchdown Game in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an incredible game against the Chargers in Week 1. Hill finished with seven receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns in the 38-28 win over the Chargers. He also added a 91-yard punt return score and he rushed twice for four yards. The chemistry between Hill and […]

Spencer Ware Held to Three Attempts on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware played in his first game since 2016 on Sunday, but was fairly quiet. Ware had three attempts for 32 yards and had one eight-yard reception. It's obvious that Kareem Hunt is the starting running back in Kansas City. Hunt finished with 16 carries, while Ware had just three. […]

Kareem Hunt Quiet in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt did not make much noise during the 38-28 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. Hunt finished with 16 carries for 49 yards and zero touchdowns. Hunt was held without a reception for the first time in a full game, according to Yahoo. The Chiefs did not need Hunt […]

Patrick Mahomes Destroys Chargers Defense in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was hyped up all offseason and maybe that was for a good reason. Mahomes was 15-for-27 with 256 passing yards and four touchdowns in the 38-28 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Chargers pass defense was supposed to be fairly strong, but they couldn't handle Mahomes […]

Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nathan Peterman was deservedly benched in the third quarter of the Bills 47-3 drubbing at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens and replaced by Josh Allen. We knew that Peterman was playing on borrowed time, but this was a quicker hook than anyone could have […]

Eric Berry Officially Out In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive in Week 1 against the Chargers. Running back Darrel Williams is also a healthy scratch. Berry was never expected to play in this one after missing practice all week. He might be up against it to return in Week 2 as well. Without the veteran playmaker […]

Week 1 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Football is finally, finally back. Since the NFL is the professional sports league with the longest off-season, the wait for the new season to come around feels like a lifetime.
