Fantasy Football Trade Deadline Targets and Strategies: The Engel Eye

After playing in only three games this season, Chris Carson is out for the year, as he will undergo neck surgery. Alex Collins, who was downgraded on Thursday due to a groin injury, is now expected to play in Week 11 and should be Seattle’s starting running back for the rest of the season barring […]

Fantasy Football Rankings and Injury News for Week 11: Alvin Kamara, Nick Chubb, Damien Harris, Elijah Mitchell, Saquon Barkley, Chase Claypool, DeAndre Hopkins

Welcome to Week 11 RotoBallers, it's officially crunch time for many of us. We are back with our early Week 11 fantasy football rankings. There are two teams on bye, and plenty of injury updates that will affect this week's fantasy football rankings, so we are already starting things up. As always, we like to […]

Saquon Barkley, Devontae Booker Limited Friday

New York Giants running backs Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Devontae Booker (hip) were both limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Friday. Barkley has been impressing the Giants in practice coming out of the bye week and looks to be on track to return for the first time since Week 5 […]

Sterling Shepard Still Absent From Practice Friday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) took part in individual drills on Friday but was ultimately listed as a non-participant for the second straight day. It doesn't look like Shepard is ready to return coming out of the bye week, so fantasy managers should plan on using him in Week 11 on Monday […]

Logan Ryan Likely Out For Monday Night Game

New York Giants safety Logan Ryan tested positive for COVID-19 and is now unlikely to play on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants will likely be placing Ryan on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and head coach Joe Judge said the situation doesn't appear to be a false-positive. Julian Love will likely take Ryan's […]

Chargers Offense Ready to Rebound: Can You Trust Justin Herbert Down The Stretch?

Through the first five weeks of the season, the Chargers looked like one of the best teams in the NFL. Not only did they start the year with a 4-1 record, but they also possessed one of the best offenses in the NFL, scoring 35 points per game between Weeks 3-5. They looked unstoppable. However, […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 11

This is not the time of the season to have a player put up a zero in your fantasy football lineup. Don’t bother thinking about anyone from the Los Angeles Rams or Denver Broncos being your last-minute lineup change savior. Both of those teams have the week off. There are certainly many other prospects on […]

Kenny Golladay Off The Week 11 Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) ended a three-game absence by returning in Week 9 and catching two of three targets for 28 yards before last week's bye. The time off apparently did Golladay well, and although he's been a disappointment (just one 100-yard game) in six games played in his first season […]

Kadarius Toney Practices On Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney was not on the injury report on Thursday and should play in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie has had a very up-and-down season (he collected 54 percent of his yards in just one game), but he remains an intriguing option nevertheless. Toney is one […]

Devontae Booker Logs Limited Practice

New York Giants running back Devontae Booker (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday. In Weeks 7-10, the backup has done a fine job filling in for Saquon Barkley in his absence, placing at RB20, just one spot behind Aaron Jones. However, now that Barkley seems to be returning and Booker is dealing with an […]

Saquon Barkley Limited In Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday and the Giants have seen good things from him coming out of their bye week. The superstar was originally thought to be on track for a quick return, but his ankle's swelling has taken longer than expected to heal. Now, however, […]

Sterling Shepard Doesn't Participate In Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quad) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Shepard started the season hot with 28 receptions and 299 yards in his first four games; unfortunately, since then, his season has been derailed by injuries. The wideout has been bothered by this quad injury for quite some time, and […]

Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 10

The Bucs came out flat after a bye and lost to the Washington Football Team, Cam Newton beat the league's best team, the Seahawks did not score a point in Russell Wilson's return, and the Steelers and Lions played to a tie. It was another strange week in the NFL. A lot of data was […]

Offensive Outliers From Week 10 - Coaching Matters

We now enter the 10th week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Fantasy football’s regular season is past the halfway mark and headed for home! Fantasy football managers will be without Denver’s Noah Fant and Los Angeles’ Tyler Higbee at tight end this week due to their teams being on bye. This is on top of the ongoing Rob Gronkowski injury saga. There have been worse weeks […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11: Cam Newton, Mac Jones, Justin Fields, Tua Tagovailoa

For the second consecutive week, NFL teams struggled on offense leading to underwhelming fantasy scores. Only five teams (Dallas, New England, Buffalo, Carolina, and Philadelphia) found a way to score at least 30 points in their games. Conversely, five teams failed to score more than 20 points on offense, including an explosive Seattle offense that […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

We're in the thick of November and those playoff pictures are starting to take shape, leaving us with a narrowing band of potential paths to the top. Week 10 was another underwhelming week and the biggest injury thus far has been Aaron Jones, though A.J. Dillon is rostered in three-fourths of leagues already. Perhaps you're […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

The quarterback position was much more predictable in Week 10 than Week 9 as Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott and Josh Allen finished as the top-three at the position. Jalen Hurts bounced back after a few poor performances to finish as QB-6 and Mac Jones threw for three touchdowns against the Browns to finish as QB-5. […]

Devontae Booker, Sterling Shepard Absent In Monday's Practice

New York Giants running back Devontae Booker (hip) and Sterling Shepard (quad) did not participate in Monday's practice. Booker was absent due to a personal matter while Shepard worked on the side with the trainers. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but both players will have an extra day to practice during the […]

Saquon Barkley Nearing A Return?

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was seen cutting during workouts on Monday and was able to do all of the individual drills in practice. Barkley looked explosive and was comfortable. Coming off their bye week, the 24-year-old looks to have a chance at playing in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 10

Welcome to Week 10 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the season progresses, the chart becomes more predictive. Last week the chart was particularly effective in terms of downgrading WRs who would go on to disappoint. Amari Cooper was a chalky play in DFS, but the chart did not like his matchup. He had a […]

Week 10 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

If we thought Week 8 had some weird moments, we were not at all prepared for the wackiness of Week 9. At multiple times during the 1 PM games, I was watching a game or checking scores and thinking: Let's do a quick rundown: the Bills lost to the Jaguars. The Cowboys got embarrassed by […]
