Week 9 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the bye weeks are in full swing; streaming becomes a more viable and almost necessary strategy. Knowing who to add and when to start them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup. Making the right streaming decisions throughout the season could easily be the difference between missing the playoffs and having […]

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Whereas last week was troublesome because there were so many usable DSTs, this week I did a lot of juggling because many of the typical top options have horrendous matchups. Below are RotoBaller's Week 9 defense tiers and rankings, or which defenses to stream, start and target off the waiver wire for Week 9 of […]

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9 is here, and, for some teams, the NFL season is officially halfway over. The fantasy season is even closer to being done, and wins and losses are becoming more and more important. You're jostling to get into the playoffs and ideally going for that first round bye. Kickers remain a fickle mistress. Indianapolis […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Week 8 was one for the favorites, as only two underdogs won outright, the Chargers and the Eagles. This means that only a scant number of entrants were knocked out of survivor pools. And of course, you had those fools who forgot to submit an entry and were eliminated. How can someone still be alive […]

Cameron Brate Questionable Against Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) got in a full practice on Friday but is questionable for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Brate should be able to suit up and has another opportunity to produce as a tight end streamer with O.J. Howard (hamstring) out for the second straight game. Brate didn't capitalize […]

Ryan Griffin Is Touchdown-Dependent Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin had a big game in Week 8 at Jacksonville but is not a recommended start this week despite a good matchup. Griffin caught two touchdowns a week ago, but starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) has been practicing on a limited basis and may make his season debut Sunday […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for Week 9 (11/3/19) - Monkey Knife Fight

Week 9 of the NFL season brings another early start in London, and quite a few competitive matchups. Heading into the weekend, there is only one Sunday game with a point spread greater than five points. (Dallas is favored by seven at the Giants on Monday night.) The relatively close nature of the point spreads […]

Chris Godwin Has A Nice Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was held in check by the Titans Defense last Sunday. Mike Evans was the main beneficiary for most of quarterback Jameis Winston's passes, as he carved up their man-to-man coverage all day. Godwin should bounce back this week due to extra coverage rolling towards Evans. He also has a […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 9

Sometimes two statements can be both totally contradictory and totally true. Technically the Miami Dolphins are trying their hardest to win every game. Also technically, when you let Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 34 times, you aren't really trying to win that game. And sometimes a professional football game can technically be played by non-professional football […]

Mike Evans Could Find Less Room To Work

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans pulverized man-to-man coverage last week against the Titans Defense while adding another career day to his Bucs resume. In Week 9 the Bucs travel to Seattle to face their zone-coverage scheme. This will create holes underneath for Chris Godwin to maneuver and have a nice day, leaving Evans […]

O.J. Howard Ruled Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has ruled out tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) for Week 9 against the Seahawks. It'll be Howard's second straight absence, and it's just more disappointment for the biggest bust at the position in football this year. Howard has been dropped in most leagues. Cameron Brate didn't exactly capitalize […]

O.J. Howard Still Out, Cameron Brate Returns To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but Cameron Brate (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity after sitting out on Wednesday. Howard is on track to miss his second straight game coming out of the team's bye week. He's been the biggest bust at his […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9

Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through. The owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

Jameis Winston A Low-End QB1 In Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has thrown seven interceptions over the past two games, so a shaky Seattle Seahawks secondary may just be exactly what he needs to get back on track. The fifth-year signal-caller has performed as expected so far this season, throwing interceptions in all but two games, and that may be […]

Peyton Barber Not An Appealing Week 9 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber and the Bucs will travel to Seattle in Week 9 to face the Seahawks. Barber is firmly entrenched in a timeshare with backfield mate Ronald Jones II, and with nothing changing in that regard after the Bucs bye week, fantasy owners can expect this to be the case […]

Cameron Brate Sidelined At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (rib) missed practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if this is an injury that would put Brate in danger of missing Week 9 against the Seahawks, but it's worth watching with O.J. Howard (hamstring) also sidelined at practice after missing Week 8. If both players can't go this weekend, […]

O.J. Howard Not Practicing Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) was doing individual work on a side field to test his hamstring during practice on Wednesday. Howard injured himself coming out of the bye week and didn't play in Week 8, and he'll be questionable, at best, to suit up in Week 9 against the Seahawks. The […]

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).

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 9

Whether your fantasy team is sitting pretty at 7-1 or is still clawing toward contention at 3-5, you shouldn't neglect the waiver wire. Especially in deeper leagues where you need any edge you can get at the flex position. With bye weeks in full effect and the free agent scraps getting fewer and fewer, let […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers

Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]
