Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

Inside the Tent - Week 10 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

What's Wrong with Jordan Reed?

Rule 86: If Jordan Reed is in Washington's lineup, he should be in yours. This was the rule to live by when it came to Jordan Reed throughout his career. One of the NFL's most dynamic playmakers, Reed struggled to stay on the field but shined when he was on it. Reed led all tight ends […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 10

Fantasy footballers are going to have to live without some things this upcoming week. Fantasy football owners will not get a 100-yard receiving game out of Minnesota’s Adam Thielen, a touchdown toss from Houston’s Deshaun Watson, or a sack out courtesy of Denver’s Von Miller this week. That is because those fantasy superstars’ teams are […]

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 […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?

I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of […]

Vikings Claim Ameer Abdullah Off Waivers

The Minnesota Vikings claimed running back Ameer Abdullah off waivers from the Lions on Wednesday, according to a source. Abdullah is basically a forgotten man after he was active for just three games with Detroit this year, but he'll help boost Minnesota's running back depth with rookie Roc Thomas injured. Still, Abdullah will face long […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 10, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to lingering injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers. Fortunately, you now have an opportunity to utilize your […]

Week 10 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Not much time is left in the fantasy football season, so decisions are critical right now. With the waiver wire so thin, a week of injuries can leave you scrambling last minute. Stefon Diggs was a surprise scratch this week and if you didn’t work the waiver wire prior to his scratch, then you may […]

Week 10 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

The fantasy football season is more than halfway over! Minnesota’s Kyle Rudolph is the only tight end with any fantasy relevance on bye this week, and even he is not as big of a loss as he would have been in past seasons due to him not finding the end zone as often as in […]

Week 10 Quarterback - Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Outside of Nick Mullens big Thursday Night performance, it was a rather quiet week for waiver wire quarterbacks. Some of the studs like Drew Brees and Matt Ryan had huge games, but there weren't many emergent names or standout performances in the middle tiers other than Mullens. Four teams are on bye this week, with […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 10)

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 […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It doesn't matter if the Giants' offensive woes are quarterback Eli Manning's fault or even whether he finishes the year as the starting quarterback. For Week 10, Manning is still viable as a streamer to replace Kirk Cousins or Deshaun Watson if needed. Manning entered Week 9 as […]

Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed

We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk […]

Kyle Rudolph Has Two Receptions In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph picked up 28 yards on two catches during a Week 9 win over the Detroit Lions. The Vikings were missing Stefon Diggs (ribs) in this one, but Rudolph failed to capitalize. The Notre Dame product has not scored a touchdown since Week 3. He has also been held under […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray rushed 10 times for 31 yards and a touchdown in a 24-9 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9. Murray also snagged one reception for 16 yards.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 16 of 22 passes for 164 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 24-9 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9.

Dalvin Cook Tallies 109 All-Purpose Yards In Return To Action

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed 10 times for 89 yards during his return from a five-week hamstring injury In Week 9. Cook also caught four receptions for 20 yards.

Adam Thielen's Streak Ends; Scores Touchdown In Week 9 Win

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen saw his streak of eight consecutive 100-yard games come to an end, but he did haul in a touchdown reception during a 24-9 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9.

Dalvin Cook Making His Return Against Detroit

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is officially active for Week 9 against the Lions. It will be Cook's first action since Sept. 27 against the Rams. As such, the Vikings are expected to ease him back into action behind Latavius Murray, who has been great the last few weeks in Cook's absence. Because […]

Stefon Diggs Officially Out In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) has officially been ruled out for Week 9 against the Lions. With the team going on bye in Week 10, it makes sense for them to rest Diggs. In his absence, Adam Thielen will be an even bigger target hog and Laquon Treadwell and tight end Kyle Rudolph […]

Dalvin Cook May Play Sparingly On Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) could see the field for the first time since Week 4 when his team takes on the Detroit Lions. Though his status will be determined by how he performs during the pregame workout, he is anticipated to see only 15-20 snaps if he is able to go. As […]

Stefon Diggs A Long Shot For Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) is a long shot to play in Week 9 against the Lions, according to sources. Diggs was hurt late in the Week 8 game but said this week that he would play against Detroit. That is now unlikely to happen. Anyone that was planning on using Diggs needs […]
