As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

If at least one of your fantasy teams is still in contention for a championship, congratulations. Rather than wishing you good luck in Week 15, it would be more prudent to offer sage advice on which waiver wire adds could become valuable streamers or backups for the last couple of weeks of the 2018 season. […]

Week 15 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Hopefully you survived Week 14 of the football season, a week that was littered with the unexpected.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens has proved his mettle the last couple of weeks after being on the verge of losing the starting job following Week 12. He threw for 332 yards and a pair of scores against the Broncos, giving him consecutive […]

Pierre Garcon To Miss Final Three Games

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) will undergo a knee scope and will be placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve. Garcon last played on Nov. 1 and had just one touchdown in the last two years for the Niners in just 16 combined contests. The 32-year-old won't be worth drafting in the majority […]

Nick Mullens Steady In Niners Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens completed 20 of 33 passes for 332 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Mullens found tight end George Kittle for a wide open 85-yard touchdown in the second quarter and followed up with a one-yard floater to receiver Dante Pettis to conclude the half. It was an impressive bounce-back […]

Marquise Goodwin Quiet In Return

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin snatched both of his targets for 20 yards in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos. Returning from a two-game absence, Goodwin took a backseat to tight end George Kittle and rookie wideout Dante Pettis who combined for 259 receiving yards and two scores. With the Niners leading the […]

Jeffery Wilson Piles Up 24 Touches

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson handled 23 carries for 90 yards in Week 14’s win against the Denver Broncos. He added one catch for six yards. It was a blue-collared day at the office for the undrafted rookie, who the Niners leaned on to protect a wire-to-wire victory. Despite 3.9 YPC and a […]

George Kittle Balls Out At Levi Stadium

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle amassed 210 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions in Week 14’s victory over the Denver Broncos. Kittle was on fire in the first half, repeatedly ripping chunk gains. He was left wide open in the second quarter for an 85-yard score. Oddly, the entirety of Kittle’s damage […]

Dante Pettis Hits Paydirt Again

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis netted three of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos. Pettis’ longest grab on the day went for 31 yards and his score came on an easy one-yard lob from quarterback Nick Mullens, his fourth in the last three games. […]

Week 14 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The Minnesota Vikings (6-5-1) head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks Monday night while still possessing a very legitimate shot at their second-straight NFC North championship. It would take time travel, combined with several injuries or random kidnappings, for the Seattle Seahawks (7-5) to prevent the Los Angeles Rams from claiming the second-straight NFC […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 14) - Targets and Avoids

Of course last week I write, "It has been one top-heavy year." In Week 13, most of the favorites got it handed to them. Seven underdogs won outright and double-digit favorites like the Titans and Chiefs failed to cover. Some teams just continue to cover like the Patriots. They are a machine. Good teams win, […]

Week 14 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

This feels like the first time in ages we have not lost a fantasy gold mine type team to Thursday Night Football. Seriously can one of the Jaguars and Titans play in that slot every week? Their current brand of football suits it so well! What that does mean is that entering the fantasy weekend […]

Inside the Tent - Week 14 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Dante Pettis Becoming Instrumental In 49ers Offense

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis should start opposite Marquise Goodwin in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos. With Pierre Garcon (knee) ruled out, Pettis will look to build off two consecutive impressive games. The second-round rookie has scored three touchdowns and tallied 206 receiving yards since Week 12 and faces a tough Broncos […]

Pierre Garcon Won't Play Against Broncos

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Broncos after missing practice the last two days. Garcon hasn't played since Nov. 1 and has just one touchdown on the season. He's limping to the finish line and should be on most waiver wires. Marquise Goodwin, […]

Pierre Garcon Misses Practice Again

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday after he was limited on Wednesday. Garcon was limited in practice all last week before being inactive, and he hasn't played since Nov. 1. We'd be surprised if he's active in Week 14 against the Broncos, which would […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 14): NFL DFS Lineups

This is an intriguing slate in Week 14. With the Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, and Saints all on the slate, there is plenty of firepower. The Rams game being flexed to the Sunday Night Football slot is not a huge loss as they are playing a very good Bears defense. In addition, we have some defenses […]

Richard Sherman Willing To Move To Safety

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman said he's willing to move to safety as he nears the end of his career. “It’s definitely something that I’ve looked at,” Sherman said. “And something that I’ve talked with (Charles Woodson) about.” Sherman is 30 years old this year and anticipates playing at least four or five more […]

49ers Defense Among Worst In NFL

The San Francisco 49ers defense and special teams enter Week 14 against the Denver Broncos on a four-game turnover drought, allowing nearly 33 points per contest. The 49ers are last in the NFL with just five takeaways this season. Facing a Broncos team riding a three-game winning streak, the Niners’ eighth-worst ranked defense by DVOA […]

George Kittle Approaching 1,000 Yards

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle’s status as a top-shelf fantasy option isn’t in question. The second-year player is zeroing in on his first 1,000-yard season and continues leading all Niners in yards (893) and targets (93) by a wide margin. The 49ers face a menacing Denver Broncos team in Week 14, but the […]

Pierre Garcon Downgraded Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Garcon didn't play last week after being limited in practice all week, so he may be looking at another missed game. The 32-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 1 and has just one touchdown on the season […]

Marquise Goodwin Returns To Difficult Matchup

The San Francisco 49ers receive a boost in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos with wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) returning from a two-game absence. Goodwin has been a fantasy disappointment in 2018, with only 17 catches all season, but does have five plays of over 20 yards. His big-play ability should help keep Denver’s […]

Jeffery Wilson Takes The Reins

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson totaled 134 yards on 23 touches in Week 13 filling in for an injured Matt Breida (ankle). With Breida ruled out in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos, Wilson should man the backfield again for the Niners. The undrafted rookie from North Texas rushed for 1,215 yards and […]
