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 […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids (Week 7)

Last week was not the greatest week with the Titans getting blown out and Browns losing in overtime to the Broncos. Week 7 does not get any easier with a couple tough divisional matches. The Bengals, Broncos, Bears, and Packers are on their bye. For those of you unfamiliar with survivor pools it’s very simple; […]

Benjamin Watson; A Saintly TE Option This Week

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Honestly, there aren't good tight end options appearing on the waiver this week. However, for people looking at tight ends, your current options probably aren't very good either. Watson is coming off one of his best games as a pro and has […]

Is Ben Watson the New Jimmy Graham?

New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson was unstoppable on Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. He hauled in 10-of-12 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown. He was quarterback Drew Brees' favorite target and looked just as good as former Saints tight end Jimmy Graham. But should fantasy football owners […]

Thursday Night NFL Matchups Analysis: Week 6 Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

It what figures to be an explosive Thursday Night Football affair, the undefeated Atlanta Falcons travel to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the New Orleans Saints will try to recreate some of the home-field magic they have lost over the past few seasons. A positive thing to note is that Thursday Night Football games have had plenty of points […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 6: Theo Riddick, Brandon Coleman, Jacob Tamme

What another strange week in the NFL and NFL fantasy land. The amount of unknown players that are coming out of nowhere this season is amazing. Each week there is a handful of players that are surprisingly posting double-digit points. And, some of them, are doing it in consecutive Sundays. Some, as you will see […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Jason Witten owners are hanging their heads this week.  The Dallas Cowboys are on bye, which means Witten and his 30 receptions, 271 yards and two touchdowns cannot be used.  Luckily he is the only major tight end on bye this week. There are three tight ends available on most waiver wires this week that […]

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 […]

Willie Snead the Receiver to Own in New Orleans?

With the departures of two of Drew Brees' biggest targets last year (Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills), many wondered who in the New Orleans receiving corps would be the man to step up. Five games into the season, it seems as if that man is Willie Snead. Snead followed up a solid Week 4 performance […]

Brandin Cooks Scores First Touchdown vs Eagles

New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks found the end zone for the first time this season in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.  Cooks had five receptions for 120 yards, scoring on a 14-yard strike from QB Drew Brees. With the Saints trailing for most of the game, Drew Brees was throwing the ball a […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 5: Anthony Dixon, Willie Snead, Maxx Williams

Another week and even more injury news and fantasy controversies have risen. People, we are only a quarter of the way through the season and my fantasy football team consists of Dez Bryant, Ben Roethlisberger, Jordan Reed, and LeSean McCoy. Anybody want to trade me one of their players? I could certainly use the help […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 5: The Early Games

One rule I live by hard and fast in fantasy football is to never make any judgments about my team or any players before the first four weeks of the season. Especially now, with abbreviated practices and training camps, the first four weeks are often an extension of the preseason. But with Week 4 officially […]

Week 5 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

So you probably noticed that Week 4 felt a lot more "normal" compared to that Week 3 carnival of points. Unless you double dipped on Devonta Freeman, in which case we should be best friends and talk a lot on Saturdays. Week 5 looks to have a plenty of studs in A+ matchups - which […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 5

The wide receiver position is typically more consistent on a year-to-year basis than the running back position, yet this season is off to a bit of an odd start. There have been a surprising number of bounce-backs like Keenan Allen and Larry Fitzgerald, while presumed studs Calvin Johnson and Mike Evans have turned out to be inconsistent. The […]

Willie Snead and Stefon Diggs: Deep Sleeper WRs to Target

As week five slowly approaches, the waiver wire and free agency becomes a major way to deepen your bench with players potentially ready to bust out. With bye weeks and injuries cramping your style, look into these two players to add and potentially use as the weeks move on: Willie Snead, WR New Orleans Saints - […]

Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All the hype was pointed towards Saints receivers Brandon Coleman and Brandon Cooks during the offseason. Meanwhile, Willie Snead has somehow managed to outdo them both so far in the 2015 fantasy football season. Snead currently leads the team in yardage (240 receiving yards), despite […]

Is Drew Brees Really Back For Fantasy Owners?

It was great site to see. After missing the Week 3 game against the Panthers, Drew Brees made his triumphant return in Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He completed 33-of-44 pass attempts, good for an 80.5% completion rate, to go along with 359 passing yards and two touchdowns. Not too shabby, and also good […]

Slow Down Before Starting C.J. Spiller Going Forward

If all you did was glance at the box score of the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints game, you may be thinking that C.J. Spiller is a must-start running back going forward, but slow down a bit. Sure, Spiller had over 100 total yards and a touchdown, which sounds great until you look into […]

Saints Put Cowboys Away in Overtime

People were still rattling off comical tweets and hilarious gifs of kickers failing after Saints' kicker Zach Hocker hit the left upright on a 30 yard field goal attempt in the waning moments of the fourth quarter game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The referee may also have still been explaining the […]

Drew Brees Probable for Sunday, Bench Him?

Drew Brees is officially listed as probable to play on Sunday in the New Orleans Saints Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Dealing with a shoulder injury, Brees missed last week's game against the Carolina Panthers but is likely to return this week as the Saints are in desperation mode looking […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Players Showing Warning Signals

I didn’t want to overload you with repeats this week so I decided to dig a little deeper down the list and look for a player who wasn’t drafted as high as the others but is disappointing all the same. Brandin Cooks has yet to find the endzone or reach 100 yards in a game […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Three weeks without a touchdown has Cooks looking more like a flop than the stud he was projected to be heading into the season. That could change quickly, though. Despite the absence of Drew Brees at quarterback last week, Cooks caught seven of his eight targets from backup Luke McCown and managed a respectable 78 yards. While […]

Drew Brees Expects to Play in Week 4 Against Cowboys

Drew Brees expects to suit up and start for the New Orleans Saints against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Brees said he was "very optimistic" about playing the Cowboys in a radio interview on Monday morning. Brees missed Week 3 due to a bruised rotator cuff. Since backup Luke McCown played well in his […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Will the new Marques Colston please stand up? Coleman is the new Colston in New Orleans, and while I think many saw this coming, few predicted that it would happen this quickly. Coleman already looked like the new Colston, racking up seven targets and converting those […]

Week 2 DraftKings Deep Sleeper Tournament Plays

By clicking this, you're saying that you like to live dangerously. You want to take that shot at separating from the pack. You don't want to just fall in line with a bunch of chalk picks.

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 […]
