Week 16 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Happy Holidays RotoBallers! With the colder weather arriving, many offenses have cooled. Vegas has taken note of this, posting just one over/under above 50 points. That honor goes to the Steelers-Saints game, which is set at 53.5 points. That being said, the Rams have the highest implied team total, set at 30.75 points. Daily gamers […]

Another two Saturday games this week so make sure you have those lineups set. It would be criminal to lose your final because you forget about those two games until it is too late! This week is all about trusting your gut if you are in the championship game. If you got here you have […]

Rashaad Penny Will Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee), who is questionable for Week 16 against the Chiefs, will be a game-time decision. Penny missed his first career game last week and seems unlikely to suit up again this weekend. If he sits out, Chris Carson will be in line for […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable Against Chiefs

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is listed as questionable to face the Chiefs in Week 16. It's looking like Penny might miss his second straight game. If that's the case, it's good news for Chris Carson, who will see even more work in a game that should feature plenty of offense. Carson […]

Rashaad Penny's Status Uncertain

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said it's uncertain if rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) will return in Week 16 against the Chiefs. The team is hoping he can return to practice on Friday. Penny missed his first career game in Week 15 and doesn't look to be on track to play this weekend. […]

Jarran Reed Excellent In Losing Effort

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed was a monster against San Francisco on Sunday as he nearly won the game for Seattle. With the game on the line and SF driving to attempt to win it in regulation, Reed shifted to another gear and became unstoppable. Reed recorded two sacks in a row on that […]

Sebastian Janikowski Makes Costly Misplay

Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski was perfect on field goals once again, but that isn’t what put him on the highlight reels this week. Instead, Janikowski is making all the worst play countdowns this week after he made zero effort to tackle Richie James on a kickoff return that went for a touchdown. Janikowski had […]

David Moore Struggles Again

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore may be an incredibly exciting player, but his dry streak continued this week in San Francisco. The second-year receiver caught just one ball for nine yards, and he was only targeted three times. The other two targets were uncatchable ones in crunch time, so owners can see this as […]

Tyler Lockett Has Exciting Day Against SF

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett only caught two passes and rushed once, but it was a stressful day for the wideout/return specialist. First, both of his catches were phenomenal ones that got critical first downs for his team. That was the good news. Lockett then made everyone sweat when he decided to try to […]

Doug Baldwin Has Huge Game

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin looked like he was back to his original form on Sunday when he caught four passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Seattle’s loss to SF. Baldwin’s touchdowns were things of beauty as he made an excellent over-the-shoulder grab in the corner of the end zone for the […]

Mike Davis Does Damage As A Receiver

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis has been the least talked about member of the Seahawks’ running back triumvirate, but he’s been dependable whenever his number has been called. With rookie Rashaad Penny out (knee) for the game, Davis was elevated to the No. 2 RB position, but his real impact came through the air […]

Chris Carson Great Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson may not like the outcome of the game, but he has to be happy with his performance. Carson ran the ball 22 times for 119 yards and a touchdown in the overtime loss to San Francisco. He also caught six passes out of the backfield to chip in an […]

Russell Wilson Solid In Loss

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson played a pretty good game in San Francisco on Sunday, especially considering how messy the game was. On a wet field that was sometimes being drenched in rain, Wilson kept his composure and made the majority of the throws he needed to make. He missed a couple open receivers throughout […]

Doug Baldwin Playing Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) is active for Week 15 against the 49ers. Baldwin sat out last Monday night but has returned to face the Niners, who he had two catches for 22 yards and a touchdown against just weeks ago. He hasn't been seeing many targets in this run-first offense, though, and […]

Week 15 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The Carolina Panthers (6-7) looked like a lock to make their second-straight postseason appearance a little over a month ago, but have since lost five-straight games and now find themselves outside of the club arguing with the bouncer over how they belong on the guest list. But, aren't. Conversely, the New Orleans Saints (11-2) have […]
