Week 6 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

Welcome back RotoBallers! As we head into Week 6 of the NFL season, we are approaching the time where getting off to a slow start can cross the line and get into "I may be digging too deep of a hole to climb out of " territory. It's more critical than ever to make the […]

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 6 Lineups

If Week 5 in the NFL taught us anything, it's just how much of a guessing game that fantasy football will continue to be. Of course, there are those easy-to-make calls in your starting lineups. But it's the performances that come from out of nowhere that can leave fantasy managers second-guessing their decision-making. Just take […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

Fantasy football waiver wires will have fewer players that can help you this week. There will be no Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers or New Orleans Saints mentioned in this week’s column. That’s because fantasy football managers will have to deal with their first round of NFL teams being on their bye […]

Nelson Agholor Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Agholor has been a fantasy flop since signing with Bill Belichick’s squad. After coming off the best year of his career in 2020 (48-896-8) and a good game in Week 1, Agholor has given his fantasy managers 11 receptions for 125 yards and no touchdowns over his last four games. This is the Agholor fantasy […]

Trade your Studs?

I debated writing this article and risking my reputation as a super famous sportswriter by suggesting such a controversial strategy. But then I realized without risk, like grabbing Ja’Marr Chase in the sixth round, there is no glory. Back to the topic at hand, I will pose this question, “Is depth more valuable than star players […]

Darius Slayton Questionable Against Rams

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for a Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Slayton appears headed for a game-time decision and could miss his third straight game. With Kenny Golladay (knee) ruled out, Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) figure to serve as New York's […]

Sterling Shepard Back In The Fold This Weekend

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) wasn't listed on the team's final injury report for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, so he will return to the fold after missing the last two games. It's good timing with Kenny Golladay (knee) out, but Shepard will be returning to a very tough matchup […]

Saquon Barkley Officially Ruled Out For Week 6

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was officially ruled out for his matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. This doesn't come as much of a surprise as Barkley's injury looked fairly gruesome, but the fact that the Giants took this long to rule out their superstar brings optimism that Barkley will return shortly. […]

Kadarius Toney Listed As Questionable

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) is officially listed as questionable heading into his game against the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie had a massive breakout game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5 with 189 receiving yards, thanks in large part to fellow wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard's injuries opening […]

Kenny Golladay Officially Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) was officially ruled out against the Los Angeles Rams. For the past couple seasons, Golladay has been destroyed by injury, and this year has been no different.

Daniel Jones Removed From Injury Report

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) was removed from the injury report on Friday.

Rookies Ready To Break Out and WR Trade Targets: Engel Eye

After five weeks of fantasy football results in 2021, we have now adjusted expectations on many players.

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Coming off my worst week of the season, getting only five of the top-10 defenses right, I spent a lot of Monday thinking about what I had missed. How did New England fail against Houston? What did the Lions do to get into the top-10 against a strong Minnesota offense? As I was racking my […]

Thursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Bucs vs Eagles

I feel like we all need a quick breather after Week 5. Last week had monster fantasy games, devastating injuries, and dramatic finishes. And the best part, there’s no time to take a breather as we have a huge Thursday Night game this week. Last week, we had eight running backs rush for 100+ yards, […]

NFL DFS Strategy: 2021 DraftKings Scoring Analysis

We talk a lot about NFL DFS here at RotoBaller. It is a wildly popular game and in fact, it proves to be much more strategic and beatable than season-long fantasy football. By that I mean that the best players will win at a higher rate in DFS than the best players will win in […]

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Out Again Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) were both missing from practice on Thursday for the second straight day.

Daniel Jones Returns To Limited Practice Thursday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) was the first QB in every drill on Thursday and will be listed as limited on the final practice report. According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, it looks like Jones will play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams unless he has some sort of setback. The […]

They Might Be Giants (in Fantasy Football)

The New York Giants went into their Week 5 game against the Dallas Cowboys already down Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton. They came out of the game down Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay, and maybe even their quarterback Daniel Jones. As of right now, it looks like Barkley and Golladay are both out at least this […]

New York Giants Defense- Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New York Giants defense/special teams should be avoided in Week 6 against a high-powered Los Angeles Rams offense. The Giants defense has been unable to stop any team and has allowed 27.8 points per game, 26th overall in the NFL. New York has allowed 407.8 total yards per contest and was shredded by the […]

Graham Gano - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a borderline streamer in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants' offense could struggle to move the ball without its top two playmakers RB Saquon Barkley and WR Kenny Golladay. QB Daniel Jones is trending in the right direction to play, which only helps Gano's fantasy […]

Evan Engram - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is considered a low-end TE2 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. Giants starting QB Daniel Jones (concussion) is on track to play and could return to action for Sunday's game against the Rams. Engram averages 6.2 air yards per target and owns 15% of the team's […]

Devontae Booker - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football
