Week 10 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Howdy, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings front and center and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).  Who am I and why should you care? I was the ninth-most accurate in-season expert on FantasyPros out of 125 last season and am currently 26th out of 130 in 2018. One […]

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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 10): NFL DFS Lineups

We have a lot of good offenses on the main slate this week, with the Saints, Chiefs, Rams, Falcons, Patriots and Chargers all suiting up Sunday. The only offenses really missing are the Steelers and Panthers who met last night. In addition, a couple of the stingier defenses are out of the slate, with the […]

Inside the Tent - Week 10 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 […]

George Kittle Remains In No-Contact Jersey Friday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (chest) was once again kitted in the blue no-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Kittle has been among the best tight ends in the league this season and has been one of the most reliable guys week to week. No matter who has been under center, Kittle has […]

Matt Breida Primed For Increased Workload

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and appears to be approaching full health. Despite dealing with myriad injuries this season, Breida has dominated snaps in the Niners backfield and is tallying a robust 5.5 YPC. With Raheem Mostert (arm) on IR, Breida is in line for a […]

Alfred Morris Again In Mix For Touches

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris’ role has dwindled meaningfully in recent weeks, recording 11 or fewer snaps in three of four contests. With Raheem Mostert (arm) on IR, Morris will again be the Niners primary change-of-pace back in Week 10 against the New York Giants. Despite the team’s commitment to a backfield timeshare, […]

George Kittle Providing Rock-Solid Returns

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (chest) has been amongst the best receivers in football this season and that should continue in Week 10. His 692 receiving yards is the second-most for tight ends and 14th overall. He’s been targeted at least six times in seven of nine contests and hurdled 70 yards on […]

Marquise Goodwin Searching For Consistency

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has demonstrated volatile tendencies this season and is the epitome of a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option. Due to his limited target share, Goodwin will need to make explosive plays on a weekly basis to return value. The Niners face the New York Giants in Week 10, who have […]

San Francisco 49ers Defense Could Continue Sack Party

The San Francisco 49ers defense came alive in Week 9, registering eight sacks and allowing only three points against the lowly Oakland Raiders. The team hosts the inept New York Giants in Week 10 and remain on the streaming radar. The Giants offensive line has surrendered 31 sacks to statue-like quarterback Eli Manning and rank […]

Nick Mullens Seeking To Double Down

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens exploded on the scene with three touchdowns and a 151.9 QB rating in his debut and has earned another starting shot in Week 10 against the New York Giants. Mullens and the Niners host a susceptible Giants secondary that is 13th-worst in yards allowed per pass attempt (7.1). The […]

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 […]

George Kittle Puts In Limited Practice

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (chest) was limited in practice on Thursday. Kittle got a little beat up last Thursday but should be just fine to play on Monday night against the Giants. The 25-year-old up-and-coming tight end has scored in two of his last three games and posted his second 100-yard performance […]

Pierre Garcon Not Practicing Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) did not practice on Thursday. Garcon is likely just being rested after he returned in Week 9 to catch three passes for 56 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Even in a good matchup against the Giants on Monday night and with quarterback Nick Mullens […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

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 […]

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. […]

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens surprised everyone on Thursday Night Football, tossing three touchdown passes in the Niners’ 34-3 beatdown of the Oakland Raiders. He had a near perfect 151.9 passer rating and was named the starter for Week 10 against the Giants. […]

Nick Mullens To Get Another Start

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will make the start under center for the second straight game on Monday night in Week 10 against the Giants. This isn't much of a surprise after Mullens burst on the scene last Thursday and demolished the lowly Raiders, but it's now official. C.J. Beathard has shown flashes filling […]

Alfred Morris (RB, SF) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers have been plagued by a lot of uncertainty in their passing game this season. Behind Jimmy Garoppolo, C.J. Beathard, and Nick Mullens, they rank 25th in the NFL so far with 219.9 passing yards per game. As a result, […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

If you had told me San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens would throw for over 250 yards and three touchdowns in his first taste of NFL action, I would have called you crazy. Yet here we are, scratching our heads about how the Oakland Raiders only managed to generate 242 yards of total offense in […]

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 […]

Week 10 Quarterback - Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Outside of Nick Mullens big Thursday Night performance, it was a rather quiet week for waiver wire quarterbacks. Some of the studs like Drew Brees and Matt Ryan had huge games, but there weren't many emergent names or standout performances in the middle tiers other than Mullens. Four teams are on bye this week, with […]

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 […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 10)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed

We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk […]

Week 9 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

As bad as the Tennessee Titans (3-4) have been, they're currently second in the AFC South - sitting just one loss behind the division-leading Houston Texans. As bad as the Dallas Cowboys (3-4) have been, they're currently third in the NFC East - sitting just two losses behind the division-leading Washington Redskins... As bad as […]
