Week 12 Boom and Bust Candidates: Drew Brees, Odell Beckham Jr., LeSean McCoy & More

We’re at the point of the season where just one more win may get you into the postseason, and just one more loss may keep you out. It may be the most wonderful time of the year as far as holiday season, but in fantasy football land, this is the end of the line for […]

Week 12 Busts For Fantasy Football: Tyrod Taylor, Lamar Miller, Mark Ingram, & Tavon Austin

Week 12 Fantasy Football Busts Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) After being absolutely gouged by Aaron Rodgers in Week 3 (five touchdowns, 44.92 fantasy points), the Chiefs' defense has been drastically better. In each of the past five games, Bob Sutton's crew has grabbed at least one interception and allowed no more than one passing touchdown. In […]

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 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Draughn, Bell and McCluster

Week 11 doesn't seem very special, but there is some significance this season. This week is the final week of bye weeks with the Giants, Saints, Steelers, and Browns all taking the week to rest up for the season's stretch run. It also marks the beginning of the homestretch for most regular season's in fantasy […]

Week 11 Cut List - Seven Fantasy Duds You Can Ditch: Manning, Tannehill and Lacy

We all know the feeling - you draft a guy with a ton of upside, knowing you're taking a real risk, in hopes that he will be an explosive force all season long. Year after year, more than a handful of players fail to live up to the hype. Here's a list of declining stars […]

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 […]

Week 10 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Blake Bortles, Theo Riddick, Rueben Randle & More!

Here we go, into the double digit weeks already. Week 10 is here and ready to make dreams come true. We're here because there is plenty of value calling far down on the player lists in DraftKings' player pool. There are a few big games this week with high projected point totals that we'll want […]

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 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. Since there were so many players that went down, it’s best that we focus on the bigger and more immediate […]

Eight NFL Players To Drop From Your Fantasy Football Roster

Each week, we'll be bringing you a list of players who are no longer "ownable" in many fantasy football leagues. Obviously, this list has to be interpreted with a grain of salt, depending on the type of league you play in. If you're in a 14 team league with 5  bench spots, many of these […]

The Daily Divide: Week Seven DFS Lineup Picks

Daily Divide: Week Seven Matt and Nathan each offer Week 7 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 help people make their own decisions. Nathan probably makes more good points than Matt over the long haul though, […]

Week 7 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Here we go again folks. Week 7 is here and for the sake of consistency I'll stick with the tournaments that start at 1 PM Eastern Time, so don't be shocked to not see names from Buffalo-Jacksonville listed. Week 7 has a decent amount of mid-level plays that are all in contention for being rather […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rishard Matthews had a great first three weeks of 2015 despite being part of an absolutely atrocious Joe Philbin led Dolphins offense. While Jarvis Landry would get his catches, Matthews was the only real consistent weapon that Ryan Tannehill was really […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading. We saw Jeremy Maclin (concussion), Keenan Allen (hip), Sammy Watkins (ankle), Allen Robinson (knee), and others leave their games early. This meant […]

Week 6 NFL Matchups Analysis: Start/Sit for Fantasy Football (Part 2)

Vladimir De Wet breaks down the second half of the Week 6 matchups for the 2015 NFL football season. Each week of the NFL season, we will be breaking down each of the NFL matchups and providing you with some fantasy football advice and lineup recommendations based on matchups that we love, matchups that we hate, […]

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 6: The Early Games

It’s hard to believe that it’s already Week 6 and the NFL season is nearly a third of the way over. The fantasy football season is nearly halfway over, with the majority of postseasons beginning on Week 13 or 14. Whether you’re 0-5, 5-0, or anywhere in between at this point, you still have a […]

Lamar Miller May See More Carries Under New Head Coach

Lamar Miller's fantasy football owners will be happy to hear that the running back may soon be putting up better numbers. ESPN reporter James Walker expects interim Miami Dolphins head coach Dan Campbell expects Miller to see more carries going forward. Considering Miller is only averaging 9.25 carries per game, it won't be hard for […]

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 […]
