Week 6 Deeper Sleepers: All In On Snead

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Not to toot my own horn, but if you followed my picks last week you killed it in Week 5. Josh McCown, Gary Barnidge, Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin, and the Falcons Defense all had excellent outings […]

My Top 10 Potential Busts for Week 4

Listen, not every column can be sunshine and rainbows.  We can tell you all about how Julio Jones will score 30 points because he's Julio Jones and of course he will.  Sometimes, you just have to face the grim reality that the players you drafted aren't as good as you thought they'd be (for me, […]

Jarvis Landry, Vincent Jackson - Week 4 WR Lineup Busts?

Jarvis Landry, WR, Dolphins Revis Island is where No. 1 receivers go to die for a week, and this time around it’s Jarvis Landry’s turn. He still has not reached the end zone this season and is beginning to lose targets to Rishard Matthews. Landry will likely have big games down the road, but in […]

Rashad Jennings, Lamar Miller - Players Showing Warning Signals

Lamar Miller, RB, Dolphins Lamar Miller is already likely stuck on your bench after a very disappointing start to the season. A favorite preseason breakout pick, Miller has not reached 55 rushing yards yet or received more than 13 carries in a game. Despite the fact that he was a third or fourth round pick for […]

Ryan Tannehill, Eli Manning - Week 4 QB Lineup Busts

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins It’s hard to have faith in anyone on the massively disappointing Dolphins offense. Ryan Tannehill has turned the ball over four times already and has only scored in the 20s once this season. With this game being in London and the Jets defense holding fantasy QBs to an average of 9.2 […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 4: The Early Games

Your team is beginning to take shape after Week 3, as are your postseason hopes. Your success during the first four weeks of fantasy season are often determined by the strength of your draft, your luck with injuries and your fortunes on the waiver wire. Another important factor is picking the right player to start […]

Lamar Miller (RB, MIA) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Oh hey look, it's my RB2! People were expecting an offensive breakout in South Florida this season, but it looks like the offense is just broken. With losses to the Bills (who are surprisingly good) and the Jaguars (unsurprisingly not good), the Dolphins have been a disappointment this season. Miller came in to this season […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker was in the conversation for best wide receiver in the 2015 NFL draft, but hasn't quite produced as much as many fantasy owners may have hoped. However, you can see Tannehill gaining confidence in the young playmaker, so more […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Risers

Rishard Matthews is one of those guys who was pretty easy to look at after two weeks of decent stat lines and write off as fluky. If you read this last week, you hopefully already snagged him, but all the same this is a guy who deserves attention because of the aura of skepticism about […]

Tyrod Taylor Needs to be Owned in All Leagues

Taylor was written up here last week, and his ownership only bumped up from 23% to 43%. His strong Week 3 performance against the Dolphins should tilt that figure over the 50% mark for sure. Miami was a strong defense coming into 2015, with many viewing them as a "set it and forget it" type […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Over the first three weeks of the season, Rishard Matthews has emerged as a clear WR2 in Miami behind Jarvis Landry. The fourth-year wideout caught 41 passes in 2013, but only reeled in 12 passes from Ryan Tannehill last season. Through three games, Matthews already […]

Week 4 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

This week, we will take a look at seven sleeper wide receivers, each of whom have worked their way into the number two receiver role on their respective teams. All of these wideouts are young and seem to have made large improvements as of late, either at the end of last year or over the […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There's always a great feeling that comes from picking a player with less than 5% ownership, watching them explode the following week, and then being able to write about that player again. After a six catch 115 yard game against Jacksonville, Matthews punched in another six […]

Week 3 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Week Three Booms QB Russell Wilson, SEA: The Seahawks are much better than their 0-2 record indicates.  The Bears are not.  Chicago has been gashed for seven passing touchdowns already this season, which is worst in the league.  Enter a Seattle passing attack still looking to incorporate it's new, shiny toy in Jimmy Graham.  The Seahawks […]

The Daily Divide: Week Three DFS

Daily Divide: Week Three Matt and Nathan each offer Week 3 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 their own decisions. Matt probably makes more good points than Nathan though, over the long […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 3: Risers and Fallers From Week 2

Two weeks are now in the books, and there’s more than enough to react to. Most importantly, keep your wits about you--look at who each team has gone against and who they’re about to face. For instance, Lamar Miller is a pretty clear “faller” due to his performance and now an injury, but he gets […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 3: Josh Robinson, Rishard Matthews, Scott Chandler

Week 2 is the in books and a lot of strange things have happened already. DeMarco Murray, an early-round pick, has rushed for only 11 yards this season. Meanwhile, Travis Benjamin, who went mostly undrafted, has three receiving TDs on only six receptions. It may be time to get some sleepers on your roster as […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off of his first 100-yard game in almost two years, Matthews is certainly seen as a hot commodity this week. Going against Buffalo this week may actually lower most owners' expectations, which could make him a steal for those who are patient. […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There was a lot of talk about this offense entering the season - from how great the weapons looked, to Tannehill's continuing development. Within this large pool of receivers, one of the players that got lost in the mix was Rishard Matthews. […]

The Daily Divide: Week Two DFS

Matt and Nathan each offer cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments and debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Matt probably makes more good points than Nathan over the long haul though, so please pay special attention […]

Week 2 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Booms: QB Sam Bradford, PHI: I had Bradford in this space last week, and while he didn't boom in the first half, he came pretty close to doing so in the second half. The Eagles offense looking out of sync in its first regular season game on the road was not a shock. However, there is no […]

Week 2 NFL Matchups Analysis: Start/Sit for Fantasy Football (Part 2)

Vladimir De Wet breaks down the second half of the Week 2 matchups for the 2015 season. Below, you will find part two of our Week 2 NFL matchups & fantasy football start/sit analysis, which should help you prepare your lineups to win this week.

Kenny Stills (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jarvis Landry has been getting a lot of (justifiable) love for his rookie year, but Kenny Stills may be the Dolphins wide receiver should be talking about. Or maybe he's just not being talked about enough. Stills finished ahead of Landry in PFF’s end […]

Dolphin's RB Lamar Miller, The Forgotten RB1

Mention that you are targeting Lamar Miller in your fantasy draft, and you will likely to get some slanted looks and horror stories from your friends. Thanks to a 4.4 40 time and most of his competition in the backfield coming from Daniel Thomas, many people drafted Miller as a popular sleeper pick back in […]

Overvalued Wide Receivers for 2015 Fantasy Football Drafts

Every year, fantasy owners look to make bold gambles in the draft in hopes of looking back on a championship squad of unlikely heroes. This is especially prevalent in regards to the wide receiver position. Rather than worrying about building a consistent roster of proven producers, the risk-takers of the world prefer to search for imaginary […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 12-14 Current ADP: 149 STD, 117 PPR ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker has a history of injuries, but he should still debut early in the season. His size and speed, combined with his college production -- 140 yards per game over six games as a senior -- make him a solid weapon. Should Ryan Tannehill […]
