Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10. Among the low-owned studs and high-owned duds were a couple notable injuries, with Cooper Kupp's knee being the biggest (as of Sunday Night Football). We here at RotoBaller are here to get […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 11)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, LAR) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the confirmation that Cooper Kupp tore his ACL as feared, many owners will now pivot to Josh Reynolds as the WR3 on one of the best offenses in the NFL. He'll clearly see an uptick in snaps and targets, but that shouldn't automatically thrust […]

Cooper Kupp Has Torn ACL, Out For Season

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is out for the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. Adam Schefter confirmed the injury on Monday morning.

Week 10 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

For some, it's birth. Other's may come in the form of an experience. There are even those few (my aunt) who fall in that weird, I just like their colors category. But, every sports fan has that defining moment which determines "their team". Mine came January 27, 1991 - the infamous Scott Norwood, "wide right" […]

Tyler Higbee Efficient In Week 10

The Los Angeles Rams rarely look to the tight end position for their production. On Sunday afternoon, tight end Tyler Higbee saw three targets come his way. He caught all three of them for 25 yards, including one that went for a touchdown. On the season, Higbee has only seen 18 targets, so he hasn't […]

Cooper Kupp Fails To Capitalize On Team's Big Day

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp does a lot of his best work in the red zone.

Kupp saw eight targets, catching five of them, but he only had 39 yards […]

Robert Woods Continues Consistent Season

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods doesn't have the ceiling of fellow wideout Brandin Cooks, but he showed his consistent floor on Sunday afternoon.

Todd Gurley Extends His Touchdown Streak

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley continued his onslaught on the NFL this week with 16 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown to go along with three catches for 40 yards. Gurley is the NFL's best running back right now, and he wore the defense down over the course of the game. With […]

Cooper Kupp Knee Injury Likely Serious

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp experienced a knee injury late in the team's win against the Seattle Seahawks. Kupp went down while engaged in a block, and he immediately clutched his knee. After the game was over, during Head Coach Sean McVay's press conference he said, "I don't think it's good." Kupp gave […]

Jared Goff Continues His Strong Play In Week 10

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has played well all season long, and that continued in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. In a game that saw the team's defense give up a number of points, Goff answered the call with 318 yards and two touchdowns. While the team doesn't always rely on Goff to […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

The Los Angeles Rams feature multiple reigning All-Pros on their roster.

It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes.
