Week 2 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Week 1 of the 2019 regular season started off with a whimper on Thursday, as predicted, as Aaron Rodgers looked shaky in his new offense, albeit against a strong Bears Defense on the road. But boy did Week 1 finish with a bang in Monday night's back-and-forth affair between the Saints and Texans that ended […]

NFL NextGen Stats Analysis: Week 1 Takeaways - Air Yards

We made it! We wagered through a long and tedious preseason but real football hit us in the forehead for the first time this season during the past few days and change. But just as soon as it came, it went. The first week of the season is over and we have some tasty numbers […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 1 Outliers

Every week of the NFL season players break out with huge statistical performances. Some of these performances come from certified studs that have done it before, some come from players that may be on the verge of breaking out, and some performances are merely flashes in the pan. It’s important to identify things such as […]

Warning Signs: Week 1 Review

Obviously, we cannot overreact too much to Week 1 of the football season. This said, the first installment of this series may be a little shorter than normal. Just because Mitchell Trubisky looks bad as a quarterback doesn’t mean you should drop him now and find someone else. So what if the Dolphins gave up […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts: Week 2

One week down, 16 more to go! I am currently basking in the glow of my under-the-radar boom picks of New England’s Phillip Dorsett and Buffalo’s John Brown from last week’s column, while trying to forget that I also told the world that New York Jets receiver/ghost Quincy Enunwa would go bonkers against the Bills. […]

David Moore Gets In Limited Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a good sign for Moore, but he's expected to miss Week 2 and possibly Week 3. In this run-first offense, Moore should be found on the waiver wire right now in most every league. Tyler Lockett (back) is also banged up […]

Tyler Lockett Does Not Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (back) was among those that didn't practice on Wednesday. Lockett is Seattle's No. 1 wideout, but he caught just one pass on only two targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. That's not the kind of volume his fantasy owners were hoping for as their WR2, […]

Will Dissly Good To Go For Week 2

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Will Dissly (knee) is good to go for Week 2 against the Steelers after leaving the Week 1 game with a knee injury. Dissly caught one of his two targets for 12 yards before leaving the game last Sunday. In a run-first offense that rarely […]

They decide who to start or sit in order to give you the best advantage to win your weekly matchup. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube […]

Rookie Receiver Breakouts from Week 1: Trust or Bust?

Rookie wide receivers are generally hard to trust in fantasy football. Last year’s class, for example, did not produce any regular fantasy starters, although players such as Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore, Dante Pettis, Christian Kirk and Michael Gallup all showed some promise. Ridley was the best of the bunch with 64 catches for 821 yards […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 2 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on 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 these free agent players will […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It didn't take long for the scoreboards to start lighting up in Week 1. About halfway through the first quarter, we were all ready to open up our FAAB wallets for Marquise Brown. In fact, rookie wide receivers stole the show on Sunday, with a handful of them looking as if they could be meaningful contributors. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 2 Lightning Round

The whirlwind of emotions leading to fist-pumping highs, as well as great defeats marked by injuries and others vulturing your points.

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 2)

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 […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Week 1 is (mostly) in the books, and while the year is clearly over for the Bears, Browns, and Falcons, your fantasy team can still rebound from a Week 1 loss. Maybe you're considering a change at QB after being let down by one of the popular Week 1 plays like Jameis Winston or Baker […]

Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season is just about wrapped up, and we saw plenty of wild and crazy things this past weekend. The Kansas City Chiefs scored 40 points on the day, and they were only third among the highest scorers. With several high scoring games, we saw quite a few active kickers. […]

Seahawks Defense Not Counting On Ziggy Ansah For Week 2

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said they are taking it day-to-day with defensive end Ziggy Ansah (groin, shoulder), but the team isn't exactly counting on Ansah to suit up in Week 2 against the Steelers. The Seahawks aren't rushing the injury-prone pass-rusher back, although his presence on the defensive line would be an added […]

Jason Myers Drills Three Extra Points In Win

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers wasn't put in any high-pressure game-winning field goal situations during the team's Week 1 win against Cincinnati, but his perfect day on extra points proved to be critical since the team only squeaked out the win by one point. The former Pro Bowler should get plenty of opportunities with the […]

Tyler Lockett Catches One Pass, Wins Game

Perhaps he didn't truly "win" the entire game for the team, but Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett did score the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Lockett was silent for the entire game until he got behind the defense late in Seattle's Week 1 game, and quarterback Russell […]

D.K. Metcalf Fantastic In Debut

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf certainly lived up to all the hype in his first NFL game. Metcalf led the Seahawks by hauling in 89 yards on four receptions including two very nifty grabs that set up critical touchdowns. Metcalf was mostly considered a workout warrior after his incredible NFL Combine performance this spring, […]

Rashaad Penny Sees Minimal Action

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny made some appearances as a change-of-pace back on Sunday, but he didn't change the pace in any way. Instead, Penny rushed for an average of 3.0 YPC by totaling 18 yards on six carries (starter Chris Carson also averaged 3.0 YPC), and he wasn't targeted a single time through […]

Chris Carson Scores Two TDs Against Cincy

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson struggled mightily on the ground for the majority of the team's Week 1 win against the Bengals, but he showed that the coaching staff's new passing plans have some real potential. Carson would finish with 46 yards and a score on the ground, but it took one big run […]

Russell Wilson Throws For Two Touchdowns

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson posted another solid day in the team's Week 1 win against the Bengals. Wilson was accurate but unspectacular as he completed 70% of his passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns and zero interceptions. The offense in general was terrible at the start of the game, but in true Seahawks […]

Quinton Jefferson, D-Line Shine For Seattle

Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson easily had his best game as a member of the team on Sunday when he racked up two sacks, three QB hits, and two pass deflections in Seattle's win against Cincy. Jefferson came up huge in big situations, deflecting one of those passes on a critical third down. His […]

Will Dissly Injured Against Bengals

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (knee) suffered a right knee injury late in the Week 1 game against the Bengals and was listed as doubtful to return. Dissly caught one of his two targets for 12 yards in the game before leaving. In an offense that runs the ball a lot and doesn't involve […]

John Ursua, Ziggy Ansah Inactive Against Bengals

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver John Ursua and defensive end Ziggy Ansah (groin) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Bengals. Ursua had a chance for more chances in the passing game with David Moore injured, but he'll be a healthy scratch. Tyler Lockett, Jaron Brown and rookie D.K. Metcalf should be in on […]
