Week 16 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Frank Gore, Rueben Randle, & More!

Where has the time gone? Two weeks are left in the NFL regular season and while the pros are vying for playoff spots and season long fantasy owners are going for the championships, you DFS vets are simply playing another week. As always this late in the season, be careful that you aren't drawing too much out […]

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

Week 16 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins & Johnny Manziel

Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable. Meanwhile Alex Smith fell victim to game flow as the Chiefs went up 21-7 early behind a big Charcandrick West run and a defensive score. […]

Spencer Ware Looks to Pound Browns

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware was an "emergency only" option at running back on Sunday (he registered two snaps), so Charcandrick West got to do all of the lifting. If Ware does come back into the fold for Week 16 though, Ware is the bigger guy who […]

Daily Divide - Week 15 DFS picks

Daily Divide: Week 15 Nathan and Matt each offer Week 15 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make sound decisions for their DFS lineups. Nathan:It is good to have Matt back in the […]

Week 15 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Philip Rivers, Matt Jones, Nate Washington & More!

Three weeks are left in the NFL regular season and while the pros are vying for playoff spots and season long fantasy owners are going for the championships, you DFS vets are simply playing another week. As always this late in the season, be careful that you aren't drawing too much out of numbers that pertain to […]

Take a Flier on Albert Wilson

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The second-year Chiefs wideout put together his finest outing of the season Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, catching four passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Albert Wilson is hardly overtaking Jeremy Maclin or tight end Travis Kelce in the pass-catching pecking […]

Expect Alex Smith to Carve Through the Ravens

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I recommend Alex Smith about every other week, but last week I shied away and he didn’t meet my threshold of 15 points, so I’ll take that as a positive! Still, he did hit double digits for the 11th straight game. He will definitely […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 15: Willie Snead, Jermaine Kearse, Malcom Floyd

It's not normally in our nature here at RotoBaller to toot our own horn, but after watching Sunday's games unfold, well ... beep, beep. In this very same article space last week, we highlighted Carolina's Ted Ginn Jr., Seattle's Tyler Lockett and Cleveland's Brian Hartline as low-owned wide receivers to target on the waiver wire. […]

Week 15 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick & A.J. McCarron

I hope you made it through your first playoff matchup or advanced into the playoffs in Week 14! Unfortunately the QB streams were pretty disappointing. Tyrod Taylor delivered a decent game that meets our standards but it was still underwhelming given the matchup. In a huge surprise, Jameis Winston totally flopped on what should have […]

Spencer Ware: KC's Goal Line Back

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Charcandrick West OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available in most leagues, Ware and West are in a timeshare where Ware seems to have the redzone area on lockdown. He's been a better rusher than West on the season, so he may be able to find a bigger role on […]

Week 13 Boom and Bust Candidates: Russell Wilson, Doug Martin, Alshon Jeffery & More!

It’s do or die time for millions of fantasy football players this week. Week 13 marks the end of the fantasy regular season for many leagues, and finishing 8-5 or 7-6 will make the difference between playing meaningful games in Week 14 and the losers’ bracket. The boatload of injuries that have plagued the league […]

Week 13 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Alex Smith, C.J. Anderson, David Johnson & More!

December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with. Of course now we can fall into the trap of drawing too much value from year long statistics that really aren't so accurate, as the team looked quite different in its first […]

Week 13 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Hasselbeck

For Week 12, Johnny Manziel was thrown out after he got benched for partying. Of the other two, Jameis Winston delivered a solid 15.5 points. Nothing flashy, but acceptable for a stream. Brock Osweiler was disappointing for most of the night, but saved himself with a touchdown and some decent yardage late. Still, has night wasn't […]

Week 13 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

"Just win baby." Famous words from ex Oakland Raiders owner, Al Davis. Those words ring true for fantasy owners now more than ever. Week 13 is generally the final week of the regular season for most owners, and for many a win or loss this week will decide their positioning or whether they even make […]

Alex Smith Has Been a Model of Consistency

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith continues to deliver solid fantasy performances-- Week 12 was his eighth straight week without a turnover. Now he gets a much much easier matchup with the Raiders, who give up the fourth most points to QBs. That continued this past week, as Marcus […]

Who? What? Ware?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware is a big "who?" kind of name. One of the best non-NFL employed talent evaluators Matt Waldman wrote in depth about Ware, and stated when Ware entered the draft that he could be a great NFL-caliber back. Well, Ware showed his […]

Week 12 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Ryan Tannehill, Ronnie Hillman, Tyler Lockett & More

Everyone has now feasted on their turduckens and we're ready to roll out of our food coma and check out what the deal is with Week 12 DFS for the weekend. The game with the highest projected point total from Vegas is the Washington-New York tilt which has a line of 47.5 points. Tampa Bay/Indianapolis, […]

WRs Sending Out Warning Signals? Amari Cooper, Jeremy Maclin, Dez Bryant, & More

If you've already read this week's Warning Signals piece pertaining to running backs, you'd know that we're honing in on players who should be given legitimate consideration once the fantasy playoffs are upon us. That same theme is going to hold here for the wide receiver position. Luckily for us fantasy analysts, receivers have more […]

Week 12 Deeper Sleepers: Stacking Texans and Dealing With the Injury Bug

Did you enjoy the quick reprieve of mostly-injury-free football we experienced in Week 10? Good, because Week 11 was a bloodbath. We saw four high-end running backs go down (Devonta Freeman, Charcandrick West, Justin Forsett, Marshawn Lynch) along with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Zach Ertz leaving with concussions. Same rules as always - in this column we will […]

Spencer Ware a Great Injury Replacement

Week 11 Boom and Bust Candidates: Carson Palmer, Marshawn Lynch, DeAndre Hopkins, & More

Depending on the type of league you’re in, there are only three to four weeks left in the fantasy football regular season. If you’re sitting pretty at 10-0, 9-1, 8-2 or even 7-3, you probably have little to worry about, as the playoffs are basically a guarantee for you. For the other 80 percent of […]

Week 11 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Mark Sanchez, Ronnie Hillman, Zach Ertz, & More!

Week 11 is here and ready to make dreams come true. There aren't any games this week that have projected point totals of over 50 points. The closest we've got is the 49.5 total that the Detroit-Oakland game is offering. This doesn't mean that there isn't cheaper fun to be had though. There is still plenty […]

Daily Divide - Week Eleven DFS Picks: Cam Newton, Rob Gronkowski, Charcandrick West & More!

Daily Divide: Week Eleven DFS Picks Nathan and Matt each offer Week 11 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted.

Alex Smith Continues to Play Mistake-Free Football

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m hopping back on the Alex Smith train this week. Smith exceeded expectations against the Denver defense this week. Peyton Manning and Charcandrick West helped him out a lot -- but at the end of the day, he had solid points. He has […]

Week 10 Boom and Bust Candidates: DeMarco Murray, Allen Robinson, Marshawn Lynch & More

The fantasy football regular season is winding down, players are dropping like flies to injuries and fantasy owners are hoping they can survive the carnage. If you’re entering this week still in the playoff hunt, you deserve some credit. Injuries, under-performance and bad luck destroy a lot of fantasy football seasons. Being alive at this […]

Unfortunately for owners looking to fill holes on […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 10

Last week was one of my best weeks picking. Not only did my three teams win, but they all covered the spread. This week features much easier games, with heavy favorites. The Jets open the week hosting the Bills in the much overhyped "Rex Ryan returning to New York" game. There are four divisional games, […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota & Kirk Cousins

Week 9 saw Tyrod Taylor deliver an acceptable performance. It wasn’t great, but I’ll take 15 points from a QB streamer any week. Meanwhile I should have expected it, but Kirk Cousins was disappointing. My options at 25% or less were Johnny Manziel, Blaine Gabbert and Matt Cassel. There was no chance I was starting […]

Week 8 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The amount of injuries during Week 8 was an absolute nightmare for fantasy owners. Obviously all kinds of injuries are terrible, but when you’re talking about a slew of fantasy superstars, the results are pretty devastating.
