2021 Way Too Early Mock Draft Analysis - Rounds 1-3

The 2020 fantasy football season is barely in the books but that didn’t stop me and some fellow RotoBallers from participating in a way too early 2021 mock draft. Twelve of us got together and drafted a 13-round PPR (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX) mock draft for next season. As usual, when drafting this early, […]

Bruce Irvin Has Second Knee Surgery

Seattle Seahawks defensive end/outside linebacker Bruce Irvin (knee) recently had a second surgery for a torn ACL that he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Patriots. "He's come out of that really well but he's behind because of that," head coach Pete Carroll said. Irvin is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent […]

Pete Carroll Wants To Run The Ball More In 2021

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he wants to run the ball more in 2021 in order to force defenses into looks that they can throw deep on. "I know fans don't want to hear it," Carroll said. Seattle started 5-0 this year and quarterback Russell Wilson was a front-runner for the MVP […]

Fantasy Football Strategies That Worked in 2020

There is no doubt that the 2020 NFL season was far different than any other. We saw multiple postponements, games played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and countless players and coaches being sidelined due to COVID. Then there were the injuries... Altogether it was a year we'd like to forget, but we must learn from the […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is inactive for Saturday's playoff contest against the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round.

NFL Betting Picks For Wild Card Weekend - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Week 17 was a fitting end to a strange 2017 season. Tampa Bay almost hit the total themselves, proving my under to be the wrong play. However, the Raiders backed it up by taking control late in the first half to easily cash the -1 spread. Overall it was a negative season in terms of […]

Alex Collins Not A Trustworthy Wild-Card Option

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins had five carries for 29 yards and a touchdown in last week's game against the 49ers, but that doesn't mean DFS players need to view Collins as a potential value play on wild-card weekend. Those carries were the first for Collins since Week 10, and while he did find […]

Chris Carson Is Middling Wild-Card Play

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) is dealing with a foot injury and faces a tough Rams Defense in Saturday's wild-card playoff game, but his projected volume makes him a fine DFS play. He won't be a top option on this slate, but he did have 69 yards the last time he faced the Rams, […]

D.K. Metcalf Is Risk/Reward DFS Play Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has struggled against the Rams Defense this season, catching just eight passes in two games against them and failing to find the end zone. Metcalf is one of the NFL's best receivers, but the Rams have bottled him up this season, and he's also coming off a rough Week […]

Tyler Lockett Has Low Floor Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had his best game since Week 7 in last week's win over the 49ers, with 12 catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns. But in the Wildcard round, he faces a Rams Defense that held him to eight receptions across two regular-season meetings. Factor in that Lockett has had […]

Russell Wilson Carries Some Risk In Wild-Card Round

Never count out Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, but maybe temper your expectations on Saturday when he faces the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round. In what will likely be a low-scoring game between two defenses that are playing excellent football, Wilson has a much lower floor than usual. In two games against the […]
