Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9

We have no new major quarterback injuries as of writing this, but the injuries from past weeks have really thinned out the waiver wire for those of us who stream quarterbacks. Not to worry though, as there are still plenty of good options out there if you're in need. We've got four teams on bye […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

With eight weeks gone, that means over 60% of the regular fantasy season is over. Are you still with us? 8-0 teams are looking ahead to playoff matchups while 2-6 teams are looking for the 7-6 Wild Card spot. The upcoming bye week means no Bengals, Falcons, Rams or Saints -- so many of you […]

Chris Godwin Has Average Outing

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin grabbed four of eight targets for 43 yards during a 27-23 loss to the Titans. Godwin wasn't as sharp this week but was still second on the team in targets. Jameis Winston was locked onto Mike Evans for most of the day, and he responded with a monster […]

Cameron Brate Gets Six Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate grabbed three of his six targets for 32 yards during a close loss to the Tennessee Titans. Brate had never received more than four targets this season and with O.J. Howard (hamstring) inactive, he predictably picked up the slack. Unfortunately, he did nothing with his extra opportunities, and […]

Peyton Barber Accumulates 20 Yards In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had just 20 yards on 10 carries in the loss to the Titans on Sunday. As usual, Barber received nearly an equal amount of carries as Ronald Jones II, who compiled an unimpressive 35 yards on 11 attempts. The distribution of work has been the norm for the […]

Ronald Jones II Rushes For 35 Yards In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had 11 attempts for 35 yards in the loss to the Titans. Barber also had a catch for 17 yards, but as usual, he received nearly as many touches as Peyton Barber, who finished the day with 20 yards on 10 carries. Until Barber goes down with […]

Jameis Winston Throws For 301 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Titans but did so on a subpar 21-for-43 passing to go along with two interceptions. While Winston did have 53 yards rushing as well as having a large hand in Mike Evans' two-touchdown, 198-yard performance (11 catches), […]

Mike Evans Dominates In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans dominated the Titans Defense on Sunday, racking up 11 receptions for 198 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets. Evans was unguardable most of the day and was once again Jameis Winston's favorite destination. The veteran also set a Bucs' franchise receiving record during his second touchdown grab, […]

Ryan Griffin Grabs Two Touchdowns Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin caught all four of his targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. Griffin also caught a two-point conversion to add to his already impressive day. It was a career day for the veteran tight end who had only one touchdown coming […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 8

In Week 7, a good number of the wide receivers that registered top-12 production were not the usual cast of characters. The No.1 wide receiver on the week was Marvin Jones who turned four of his 10 catches into touchdowns. Zach Pascal scored two touchdowns finishing as the No. 2 receiver on the week, while […]

This article's content may vary week-to-week, but generally, it will be answering questions fielded from either the @RotoBallerNFL twitter account or my personal one (@RotoSurgeon). This week, the focus is on start/sit questions, and there were plenty. Every week, many of us struggle with which quarterback to start, or who to flex, and I am […]

Week 8 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 7 in DFS proved to be the week of the quarterback plays. And we're not just talking top names either. Sure, Aaron Rodgers exploded for a HUGE day (429 yards and 6 total TDs), but it was the players behind him that helped owners cash in. Matthew Stafford, Jacoby Brissett, and Ryan Fitzpatrick all […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 10/27/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

When playing props, the most fun tends to come with taking the overs and cheering on production. It can sometimes feel like you’re a killjoy if you’re on the other side, always hoping for a player’s production to be kept under wraps. However, as we approach the midpoint of the season, some teams have just […]

What Do You Do With Melvin Gordon?

Two things have made Melvin Gordon such a treasured fantasy asset in his career: reliability and workload. Back in the days when fantasy football players were spending assets on guys like Arian Foster and Eddie Lacy, it was more important that the player you had drafted was staying on the field consistently. The 2015-2017 version […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 8

After seven weeks of NFL action, we are beginning to have enough evidence to see just who is who. Who are the contenders, who are the pretenders, and who is everyone in between? Everywhere you turn you can find lots of smart people sussing out those important answers, but where else can you find an […]

Red Zone Risers, Fallers - Mike Evans, Mike Williams, Josh Jacobs

We are now entering the middle of the season and teams have shown their hand with their play-calling tendencies. In particular, the red-zone usage of most players has taken shape. RotoBaller's Premium Red Zone Sleepers tool can give you a sense of who is being utilized more in the all-important area of the field to provide […]

Cameron Brate Gets A Boost

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate gets a big boost this week with O.J. Howard (hamstring) listed as out against the Titans Defense. Even with Howard in the lineup, Brate scored twice in his last three games and has a great opportunity to score again this week. The Titans are a stingy defense overall, but […]

Buccaneers Defense Could Get Jason Pierre-Paul Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) has a chance to make his season debut against the Titans in Week 8. It's still unlikely that Tampa waits at least another week to bring JPP back, but it's a good sign that Pierre-Paul has made progress from his neck […]

Ryan Griffin Likely Starting Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin will likely start again Sunday with starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) listed as doubtful for the game in Jacksonville. Griffin has started every game for the Jets this season with Herndon suspended and then injured, but Griffin hasn't been able to turn opportunity into success for fantasy owners. […]

Breshad Perriman Will Return In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 8 against the Titans. Perriman will see the field for the first time since Sept. 29 against the Rams. The 26-year-old hasn't become a fixture in this offense, catching just three passes […]

O.J. Howard Ruled Out For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) has been ruled out of Tampa's Week 8 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. With Howard out, Cameron Brate will work as the team's main tight end. The Titans allow the 10th-most points per game to opposing tight ends, but the Buccaneers have shown a reluctance to target […]

Mid-Season Awards: MVP's and LVP's

When it comes to awards, everything is subjective. Some people just go with the best player at each position. That is fine in real football but not in fantasy football. Christian McCaffrey has had the best season as a running back, but as the first or second pick in drafts, he needed to do so […]

Players to Buy Before the Trade Deadline

The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, which gives you just enough time to get ahead of your competition. The deadline hasn't historically been filled with a flurry of moves, but we're at a time in the fantasy seasons where the end of our benches should be filled with high-end stashes […]

Mike Evans Ready To Do More

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has taken a back seat recently due to the emergence of Chris Godwin, but he is still on pace for more than 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns. If accomplished, this feat would tie him with Randy Moss for the most consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start a career with […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 8 (10/27/19)

Somehow four touchdowns by Marvin Jones wasn't enough for the Lions to take a win against the Vikings, but nonetheless, it was a very profitable week. On a separate note, man, are the New England Patriots an absolute wagon, and something tells me you won't have to go long before seeing me target them in […]
