Winning a fantasy championship has been your goal since you began preparing for your draft. It has also remained the driving force behind every roster decision that you have made throughout the regular season. Regardless of whether you have been competing against friends, family members, long-time rivals, or a group of owners that you do […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 17

The fantasy season is over for most, but some of you crazy people have Week 17  championships. If that's the case, then you'll have to navigate teams resting starters, shutting down injured players, and using second-stringers to see what they've got. The biggest name we'll likely be without is Lamar Jackson, since Baltimore has locked […]

Dee Ford Not Expected To Play In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) isn't expected to play in Week 17 against the Seahawks. Ford hasn't played since the Nov. 17 win over the Cardinals, and the Niners will hold him out until the playoffs most likely. San Fran's defense remains one of the better […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 16

In Week 15, Breshad Perriman took advantage of the absence of both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and caught three touchdowns which led him to finish as the No. 1 wide receiver on the week.

Hi RotoBallers and thanks for joining me for Week 16! With three games on Saturday this week, we'll be dealing with an 11-game main slate.

Week 16 Playoff Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Okay, this is it. If you're still alive, you can't afford to miss out at ANY position, including DST. In fact, ESPECIALLY DST.

Emmanuel Sanders Hauls In Only Three Catches

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught three of his six targets for 61 yards during the win over the Rams on Saturday. This was another disappointing performance from the veteran, who had just two receptions for a miserable nine yards against Atlanta in his previous outing coming into this one. Jimmy Garoppolo did […]

George Kittle Scores A Touchdown In Win

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had five catches for 79 yards and a score in the win over the Rams on Saturday. Kittle had a team-high eight targets on the night and connected with a struggling Jimmy Garoppolo late in the fourth quarter to put his team up by three points. The 26-year-old […]

Deebo Samuel Runs One In For Six

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had three carries for 28 yards and a score against the Rams, running one in early in the second quarter. He also caught four of his six targets for 31 yards. This was his first time finding the end zone since Week 13 and a more favorable performance […]

Tevin Coleman Records 33 Yards In Win

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman ran for 33 yards on five carries during the win over the Rams on Saturday. Once again, Coleman yielded carries to Raheem Mostert, who finished with 11 attempts for 53 yards and a score. He is a long way removed from his Week 8 performance, where he finished […]

Raheem Mostert Records Another Touchdown

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert had 53 yards and a touchdown off of 11 carries during the narrow win over the Rams on Saturday. These types of performances have been relatively routine for the 27-year-old from a yardage standpoint, and while he continues to semi-split carries with Tevin Coleman, he has now scored […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Leads Niners To Comeback Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo managed to lead his team to a comeback win over a relentless Rams Defense in Week 16. Garoppolo did throw a touchdown but struggled by also tossing two interceptions while completing only 59.3 percent of his passes. Despite having arguably one of his worst outings of the year from […]

Tevin Coleman Enduring Cold Streak

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has averaged just four touches in his past three games and will be a risky RB3/flex in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Since ceding the starting gig to Raheem Mostert, Coleman has been sparsely used and will need to increase his efficiency to return any fantasy […]

Matt Breida Likely Playing Third Wheel

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida has receded as the third option in the running game and is a volatile flex in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Since returning from an ankle injury, Breida has just 13 touches over two games for 75 yards. He also fumbled twice last Sunday, losing one. […]

Raheem Mostert Maintains Backfield Lead

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert continues to separate himself in a crowded backfield and is an RB2 in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Despite committing a fumble last Sunday, Mostert played in 53 percent of snaps, managed a score and out touched a combined Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida effort by […]

Deebo Samuel, Emmanuel Sanders Hoping To Bounce Back

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Emmanuel Sanders suffered in Week 15, combining for just 40 receiving yards on one catch apiece. Both players will look to bounce back in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Prior to last weekend, Samuel had gone five consecutive games with a touchdown or 100 scrimmage […]
