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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[…]

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 […]
