Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 4 Pickups and Adds
Week 3 saw things revert back to normalcy in the fantasy world. Just kidding, it was a ****ing mess. Not so much in the running back world, though. The studs were mostly studs, except for the one that got to play the Jets. The early waiver wire pickups have mostly paid off, except the one […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 3
The surprises never stop coming, fantasy folks! Week 3 of the NFL season is underway with a bang after Los Angeles Rams tailback Todd Gurley helped his fantasy owners get off to good starts with 149 total yards and three touchdowns Thursday night (he should have scored five, by the way). Gurley was an above-the-radar boom, […]
Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Week 3
There are two types of football articles; those based in analytics, and those based in opinion. Admittedly the opinion ones ("Does Rob Gronkowski Fully Appreciate Career Touchdown 69?") are a bit more fun and easier to write, and very few articles utilize one without the other, but it always come down to one of two things; can I prove […]
Week 3 Dynasty Matchup Analysis
You probably have found enough articles that explain what to watch for each week. For the dynasty community however, we look at each week a little differently. Breaking down each matchup with a dynasty focus will allow you to buy or sell players early. The key to winning long term in dynasty formats is being […]
Top 10 Fantasy Lineup Busts - Week 3
Another week in the NFL and another disappointing fantasy performance by [insert the name of someone or, more likely, someones from your lineup here]. I saw on Reddit earlier that there's only been 11 100-yard receiving games through two weeks after there were 30 last season, so it's not just you who's thinking that something […]

Welcome to Week 3, RotoBallers! The goal of this weekly column is to help find the most profitable DFS stacks, while avoiding the duds. Stacking, or pairing multiple players from the same NFL team, is an ideal way to maximize your point production, which is crucial in larger GPP (guaranteed prize pool) tournaments. Let's take […]
Todd Gurley - Top Fantasy RB in the Land?
Todd Gurley was the 10th overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft. At the time, Gurley was hailed as the best back to come out of college since Adrian Peterson. Gurley was drafted to be an every-down, featured back, and is one of the few backs in the NFL to live up to that designation. […]
Target Risers and Possible Breakouts for Week 3
You know the drill. To succeed in fantasy football, you need players who will have ample opportunities to touch the ball from week to week.

Week 4 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus
We're now starting to get a feel for what 2017 is bringing to the table. It isn't always appetizing, but at the very least it's always interesting. The highly vaunted RB rookie class is delivering in spades and reshaping the fantasy fortunes of many teams. In other words, it's time to throw those ADP lists […]
Week 3 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
We were treated to some better football this weekend with no major injuries to star players (no, anyone nicknamed Fat Rob doesn't count as a star). The downside to Week 2 was that we didn't see any major breakouts or surprises by rookies and some of last week's shooting stars seem to already have fizzled. […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks
Let's face it - as much as you try to build a strong team at all positions, you're winning each week based on the strength of one or two players that put up huge performances. The vast majority of champions from 2016 weren't won by guys with the best balance in their lineup or the […]
Top 10 Fantasy Football Lineup Busts: Week 2
Last week in this column I made this little joke: "if I tell you to bench David Johnson, you have my permission to send me mean Tweets about it." Well--ugh. As a Johnson owner in my home league and someone who went light on drafting RBs after picking Johnson and Jordan Howard early, things look bleak. […]

Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus
Don't overreact. Don't overreact. Fantasy owners need to repeat this many times before making lineup decisions after one week of regular season football. The same goes for ranking the players and trying to judge relative value. This week, I'll resist temptation to put Kareem Hunt as overall RB1, steer clear of Carson Palmer, and try […]
Week 2 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet
Every NFL season, the early part of the schedule sees players dropped in fantasy leagues that wind up having hugely productive fantasy seasons for a team that didn’t draft them. It’s a phenomenon that is especially important to pay attention to early, as your impatient league mates might cut players that you want on your […]
Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 1)
Are you ready for some football? The fun may have kicked off on Thursday and the bulk of the action takes place on Sunday, but there's still something special about Monday Night. That's especially true in Week 1 when we are lucky enough to have two games on the schedule! This article aims to preview […]
Week 1 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus
If you've spent the last 24 hours crying your eyes out because you passed on Kareem Hunt, benched Mike Gillislee, or paid up for Gronk, you're not alone my friend. The obvious almost never happens in fantasy football, which of course is what makes it so exciting (and frustrating). I will admit I own no […]

You're looking over your lineup and thinking about how it has absolutely zero holes in it and you are going to be undefeated and all your starters are definitely must starts right now and always. I'm going […]
Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Week 1
I was faced with this thought the other day when, on Twitter, I joked that the weirdly under-discussed "Red Sox Steal Signs from Yankees" story wouldn't even be the biggest sports story of the day on September 5. And seriously, it wouldn't be; a few hours later the fact that the NFL's arbitrator upheld Ezekiel […]
