San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) and running back Alfred Morris are inactive for Week 12’s tilt with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Week 12 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis
We haven't seen the Oilers in action since 1998, but they're still very alive in my heart. Warren Moon was one of my favorite players as a kid, and their uniforms/color combination might just be the most iconic to ever grace a football field. In case you're too young to remember, the Oilers played in […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 12 Fantasy Football Picks
Be honest, what's better: Thanksgiving dinner on the night itself or enjoying the leftovers the next day? The former might seem like the obvious answer but think about it - how much do you really get to enjoy the meal itself when you're obligated to sample Aunt Edna's brussel sprouts or your cousin's gluten-free stuffing that […]
Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 12
We're more than halfway through the NFL season, with several teams already having their bye weeks behind them. Nevertheless, injuries have begun to rack up. Picking on the backups that precede starting defensive backs is a common strategy among DFS players, simply because it's a solid process. Fortunately, we have plenty of data to break […]
Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 12
There will be a lot less scoring in fantasy football games in Week 12. Coming on the heels of the highest-scoring game in Monday Night Football history, the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs get a well-deserved breather this week. While that might be great for Todd Gurley, Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Jared […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 12): NFL DFS Lineups
This is going to be a very skinny week on the main slate Sunday. The good news we only have two teams on a bye this week. The bad news is they are two of the most high-flying offenses in the game right now in the Chiefs and Rams. To make matters worse we are […]

Marquise Goodwin Doubtful For Week 12
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) is doubtful for Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to the team, Goodwin was excused for personal reasons and flew back to the Bay Area on Saturday. Be sure to have him out of fantasy lineups. Quarterback Nick Mullens will miss Goodwin’s big-play ability against […]
Week 12 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings
Happy Thanksgiving RotoBallers! I don't know about you but my head is still spinning after that epic Chiefs-Rams shootout on Monday night. Hopefully, you selected the right combination of players for the single-game slates on DraftKings and FanDuel. This week's main slate is on the lighter side with two teams on bye and six teams […]
Week 12 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions
Week 12 is a weird week for fantasy football. The short week for six teams made a lot of players tough to trust, and now owners are left searching for value on a very reduced Sunday slate. We have also seen the Rams and Chiefs lost from the week as they are on a bye. […]
Kendrick Bourne Should See More Snaps
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is in line to start with Pierre Garcon (knee) ruled out for Week 12. Bourne hasn’t played on a regular basis this season but does have three touchdowns on 37 targets. He’s registered 17 targets and 104 receiving yards in Garcon’s past two absences. Despite the awful Tampa […]
Pierre Garcon Out For Week 12
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) will be out for Week 12’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Garcon did not practice all week and will miss his second straight game. Receivers Kendrick Bourne and Dante Pettis should get more run in his absence. Neither are risk-worthy fantasy options despite the intriguing matchup.
WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 11
Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]
San Francisco 49ers Defense Face Turnover-Prone Bucs
The San Francisco 49ers defense has struggled to create game-changing plays this season but face off against a sloppy Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense in Week 12. The Niners are last in takeaways (five) while the Bucs have committed a league-worst 29 turnovers. San Francisco’s defense has shored up over the past three weeks, allowing fewer […]
Matt Breida Healthy And Taking Over Offense
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida dominated the team’s backfield in snaps (44) and touches (20) in Week 10 and that should continue in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming off a two-touchdown performance and bye week, a finally-healthy Breida should set the tempo for the offense against the shaky Bucs. Tampa […]
Marquise Goodwin Positioned For Big-Play Opportunities
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin could cash in on his big-play ability in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs rank second-worst in yards allowed per pass attempt, which bodes well for the speedy Goodwin who owns three scores of 30 yards or more. Although his outcome variance this season has […]
George Kittle Should Feast On Bucs Defense
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is an obvious must-start, but also arguably the overall TE1 in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Entering the week 16th with 775 receiving yards, Kittle’s been remarkably reliable, surpassing 75 yards in seven of 10 contests. He’ll square off against a Bucs defense that has been […]
Nick Mullens Stream-Worthy Against Bucs
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens has an opportunity to firm his grip on the starting gig in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Proving his command of the offense after two starts, Mullens faces a Bucs defense second-worst in defensive DVOA and yards per pass attempt (8.4). The Niners should have a balanced […]
Pierre Garcon Misses Practice
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) did not practice Wednesday. It could just be a day off for the veteran, but head coach Kyle Shanahan did indicate Garcon was expected to practice following the team’s Week 11 bye. Garcon did not play in Week 10. Averaging just 36 yards per game with only […]
Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions
The byes are almost done, except that the two teams missing from this week's slate account for half of the starting lineups of the most successful fantasy teams. If anything, this might be a chance for fringe contenders to gain a leg up on their league's powerhouse teams that are missing their Rams and Chiefs. […]
Week 12 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
We now enter the planning process for Week 12, as some of you are focused on constructing lineups that will advance into the fantasy playoffs, while others have begun concentrating on how you can fine-tune your rosters that have already secured a place in the postseason. With the playoffs rapidly approaching, it is highly recommended […]
Week 12 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Fantasy footballers are not going to have the pleasure of using Travis Kelce this week. The second and third-most explosive offenses in the NFL are off thanks to the Los Angeles Rams and Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs being on bye. The Kelce owners especially have a wrench thrown into their lineup plans as he is […]
Week 12 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
It was another week full of excitement, tragedy, and confusion at the quarterback position. We had some tough injuries, mid-game benchings, and several exciting deep league options at quarterback for Week 12. Only two teams are on bye this week, but they are big ones. No Patrick Mahomes or Jared Goff this week, as both […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round
Week 11 has been quite the show thus far, as all of our fantasy teams can only aspire to be half as successful as the New Orleans Saints, who appear to be executing at will over opponents. Remember when the Buccaneers beat them? Me neither. Anyway, we here at RotoBaller are always looking to get […]
Pierre Garcon (WR, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the explosion of youthful receivers bursting onto the scene, it's easy to forget about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon. He's played just one game in the past month due to injuries and a bye, but should be good to go […]
Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Tw0-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is still pretty green, as we saw in Week 10 against the Giants, but just about anyone is worthy of consideration against Tampa Bay’s defense. They have allowed at least 20 points in all games except one and […]
Week 11 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis
¿Què pasa? Este juego ya no va estar en la ciudad de México -- porque la NFL tiene un complejo de superioridad -- pero pensé que una introducción en español sería divertido así que aquí estamos. Realmente no resultó ser tan divertido. Con suerte, puedes leer esto. Disappointed this game won't be coming to us from […]
