Week 17 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Happy Holidays RotoBallers! With most season-long leagues ending after Week 16, there are plenty of fantasy managers looking for a way to scratch that itch this weekend. DFS contests are a perfect way to stay involved in the games. This weekend, we have three games with over/unders over 50. That would include the Falcons-Buccaneers (51.5 […]

Week 17 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Week 17 is here and it comes with mixed feelings. On one hand this is one of the most thrilling weeks on calendar. All 32 teams are playing in the space of 12 hours and the playoff scenarios could change hundreds or thousands of times on Sunday. However, this is also the end of regular […]

DeSean Jackson Officially Inactive

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Falcons. D-Jax missed practice all week and was doubtful to begin with. He very well played his final game in Tampa last week and would prefer a change of scenery for 2019. While Jackson was disappointing outside of three […]

Week 17 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Hello, you faithful Week 17 readers, and welcome to the final (unofficial) edition of my weekly rankings article where I stump for myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings. My hope is to help you understand why I’m significantly higher or lower on players than the crowd, but Week 17 is a bit different. Since the […]

DeSean Jackson Would Like To Return To Eagles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who has already expressed his interest to move on in 2019, said he would really like to return and play for the Philadelphia Eagles, according to sources. D-Jax missed four of the last five weeks of the season due to thumb and Achilles issues, but he averaged nearly […]

DeSean Jackson Doubtful For Season Finale

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Week 17 against the Falcons after missing practice all week. Jackson barely played the last four or five weeks of the season and was once again mostly a disappointment for fantasy owners outside of three 100-yard games to open the season with […]

DeSean Jackson Out Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) remains out of practice on Friday. It means he's highly unlikely to play in the Week 17 finale against the Falcons, and D-Jax is also unlikely to be back with the team in 2019. He still averaged an NFL-high 18.9 yards per catch in 12 games this […]

No Practice For DeSean Jackson Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not looking good for his chances of playing in Week 17 against the Falcons. ESPN's Josina Anderson was also told that Jackson has expressed his preference to move on from Tampa this offseason. He leads the NFL […]

Carson Wentz - Dynasty Dud or Buy-Low?

Coming into last season, Carson Wentz was high on the list of dynasty quarterbacks. His amazing 2017 season solidified his position, even with his ACL injury which cut short what could have been an MVP campaign. Turn to 2018 and we were still high on him and hoping he came back strong from his ACL. […]

Ryan Griffin Could Play Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said on Monday that the team would like to see quarterback Ryan Griffin take his first snaps in the NFL in a regular season game in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Falcons. "The guy's been here for three years," Koetter said. "He's worked his tail off." […]

DeSean Jackson Does Not Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday. Jackson returned in Week 16 for the first time since Oct. 25 and had just one catch for 24 yards before departing the game. He's now questionable to play in the Week 17 finale against the Falcons and wouldn't even be a […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The final week of the NFL season always brings a high degree of uncertainty, unexpected breakouts, and a slew of DNPs for star players. This is why the majority of fantasy football leagues play their championship in Week 16. If you are in a league that waits until the final week for its Super Bowl […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round

Congratulations to those of you who took down your fantasy title in Week 16! We here at RotoBaller salute you and are happy to have been a part of the journey. But we know there are those of you who play into Week 17 and we never abandon our own! In the interest of getting […]

Jacquizz Rodgers Vultures Peyton Barber's Day

Buccaneers third-down running back Jacquizz Rodgers stole the production from starting back Peyton Barber on Sunday. Rodgers didn't exactly usurp Barber but certainly was more effective throughout the game. Barber's inability to operate in open-space as a pass-catcher hurts his value. Rodgers is more fit for the 2-minute offense Tampa ran towards the end of […]

Mike Evans Comes Up Big in Week 16

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had his best game in weeks on championship weekend. Evans caught six passes for 90 yards and a touchdown to reward owners who rode his inconsistent rollercoaster all season. He was targeted 10 times against a stout Cowboys defense and showed out in his hometown. Evans value next season should […]

Adam Humphries Sees Season High in Targets

Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries was as remarkable as ever (in PPR leagues). He caught 10 passes on 12 targets for 79 yards on Sunday. This was his first "good" game in weeks but it couldn't have come at a better time for anyone willing enough to start him. He's been a target hog throughout […]

Jameis Winston Does Just Enough in Week 16

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was fairly average in Week 16. With 335 yards and just one touchdown, Winston probably wasn't a difference maker in Championship matchups (if started). High passing yard volume and low touchdown totals have plagued Winston owners for years now along with the turnovers. Winston fumbling twice on Sunday is nothing new […]

Week 16 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The (6-8) Denver Broncos and (3-11) Oakland Raiders have combined for fewer wins this season than 20-percent of the remaining teams in the NFL; individually. If we were somehow able to fuse quarterbacks Case Keenum and Derek Carr, the resulting Casrek Kerrum would have the same amount of touchdown passes as Andrew Luck and 11 […]

DeSean Jackson Questionable To Return

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (foot) is questionable to return after suffering a foot injury in Week 16 against the Cowboys. He had just one catch on three targets in the first half and was an extremely risky WR4/5 coming into this game after missing the previous three games. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin […]
