Sterling Shepard's Game-Winning Score Salvages Stat Line
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught only two passes for nine yards, but none were more important than bringing down a three-yard touchdown catch to beat the 49ers in the final minute of the game. It was a quiet night for fantasy owners of Shepard but the touchdown catch salvaged his stat-line and […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Has First Multi-Touchdown Game
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught four passes for 73 yards, including two touchdowns, in the Giants 27-23 win over the 49ers.

Saquon Barkley Now Has 100-Plus Yards In Eight Games
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley carried the ball 20 times for 67 yards and added 33 receiving yards in the Giants 27-23 win over the 49ers.

Eli Manning Throws Season-High Three Touchdowns
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 19 of 31 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants 27-23 comeback win over the 49ers. For Manning, it was his first multiple touchdown game since October 7 and now has 11 touchdowns on the season through nine games. Manning has struggled with execution in […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round
In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10. Among the low-owned studs and high-owned duds were a couple notable injuries, with Cooper Kupp's knee being the biggest (as of Sunday Night Football). We here at RotoBaller are here to get […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another QB you want to part of, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning still warrants consideration for those needing a temporary fix. He gets the Bucs at home, which should equal fantasy gold (forget what Alex Smith did this week - he doesn't count). […]

Week 10 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis
For some, it's birth. Other's may come in the form of an experience. There are even those few (my aunt) who fall in that weird, I just like their colors category. But, every sports fan has that defining moment which determines "their team". Mine came January 27, 1991 - the infamous Scott Norwood, "wide right" […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks
The playoffs are coming... but not yet. With all the talk of trade deadlines and ROS prep, we should keep one thing in mind - you have to get there first. I've seen teams sell high and buy low right out of contention because they forgot to actually win games in the process of preparing […]

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 […]

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 […]

Rookie Running Back Overview, ROS Outlook
It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes. Kareem Hunt (2017) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016) are the recent examples, while the Saquon Barkley breakout of 2018 has taken absolutely no one by surprise. Prior to this season, I […]

Evan Engram Not Worth The Gamble In Week 10
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram will look to kick-start his season against the 49ers in Week 10. Engram hopefully is recovered from his early-season injuries but the Giants offense, as a whole, has been wildly inconsistent scoring points this season. Engram will go up against a 49ers defense that is allowing the 13th […]

Sterling Shepard No More Than A WR4 For MNF
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard returns from the team's bye week to take on the 49ers in Week 10. Shepard has posted some solid fantasy stat-lines this season but his production has been inconsistent due to the Giants anemic offense. This week Shepard and Co. will go up against a 49ers defense that […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Has Favorable MNF Matchup
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. may only have two touchdowns this season but he leads the team with 61 receptions for 785 yards. He has five 100-yard games this season and will go up against a 49ers defense that has allowed three different receivers to post 100-plus yards against them over their […]

Saquon Barkley Will Resume Bell-Cow Status Against 49ers
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is fresh off of a bye week and will look to keep his fantastic rookie season going against the 49ers on Monday night. Through eight games this season, Barkley is averaging 4.7 yards per carry with 58 receptions, seven touchdowns and 1,016 yards from scrimmage. Barkley has been […]

Eli Manning Has Solid MNF Matchup Against 49ers
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will try and turn his season around against a 49ers defense that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Manning currently is on pace to throw for 4,754 passing yards this season which would be his highest total since 2011. But his current projection […]

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. […]

Eli Manning Will Start Monday Night
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will start on Monday night against the 49ers in Week 10, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Manning has been bad this year but was taking the first-team repetitions in practice on Tuesday and will remain the starter for at least another week. Backup Kyle Lauletta was arrested last […]

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 […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round
Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]

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 […]
