Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 11

We're more than halfway through the NFL season, with several teams already having their bye weeks behind them. Nevertheless, injuries have begun to rack up. Picking on the backups that precede starting defensive backs is a common strategy among DFS players, simply because it's a solid process. Fortunately, we have plenty of data to break […]

Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Howdy, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings front and center and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).  Who am I and why should you care? I was the ninth-most accurate in-season expert on FantasyPros out of 125 last season and am fighting against the incredibly smart field yet again. […]

Week 11 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 11 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 10

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Is Tampa Bay's Defense Worse than the Giants' Offense?

On one hand, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can't defend. On the other hand, the New York Giants can't offend (except their fans). Classic movable object meeting a stoppable force situation. The Giants added guard Jamon Brown last week and shored up their line enough to only give up one sack. With weapons all around the […]

Peyton Barber a Desperation RB3 at Best Sunday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber is bad. The fact that he's continually started in some leagues is astonishing. Regardless, he has a slight chance of producing against the Giants. With the absence of Damon "Snacks" Harrison, New York is extremely exposable up the gut (where Barber loves to run). Definitely would be hesitant to start […]

DeSean Jackson a Flex for Week 11

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson has established himself as a flex more than anything these past few weeks. He's worth a start this weekend against the Giants given that they are week around the middle of the field. He's pretty due for a deep touchdown and Fitzpatrick is just the guy to toss him one. […]

Mike Evans More of a WR2 Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has had some trouble lately. His weekly performances have been inconsistent since Week 4 and it seems that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has decided to look elsewhere when he's in trouble. Evans is still a must-start every week given his ceiling but we have to be aware of his lower floor […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick in Play as a QB1 Against Giants

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick disappointed owners last weekend with an absolute dud against the Redskins but has a chance to bounce back against the Giants' porous defense. The New York Giants are basically in a weird rebuilding phase where they are pretending to try. With the current state of the defense and Eli Manning at […]

Finding Waiver Wire Gems on Bad Teams

There are a lot of bad teams out there in the NFL in 2018 as you will see in the list below. Some expected, like the Raiders and some not so much, like the Jaguars. Whether bad by design, bad injury luck, or bad coaching (the Raiders fit all three), some players still stand out […]

Chris Godwin Remains Sidelined Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) remained out of practice for the second straight day Thursday. It's not looking good for Godwin's availability in a nice matchup in Week 11 against the Giants. It's a shame, too, as Godwin is looking to improve on his seven-catch, 103-yard performance last Sunday. If he's forced […]

Peyton Barber, Ronald Jones Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs Peyton Barber (ankle, shoulder) and Ronald Jones II (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barber played in Week 10 and should be fine moving forward as the team's lead back on early downs, but he's a low-end RB2 option. Jones has had a very disappointing rookie season and […]

Chris Godwin Misses Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Godwin's injury doesn't appear serious, so he might just be getting a rest after his best game of the year in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins where he caught all seven of his targets for 103 yards. […]

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 11

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 11

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 11 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The New England Patriots put up 10 points, and the Buffalo Bills put up 41. In Week 10, the NFL remained unpredictable as ever, and that included the kicker position. When looking at the top five kicker scorers for this week, two of the top five were on teams with terrible matchups this week, but […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We're almost done with bye weeks, but Week 11 is another big one. Six teams will be on break which should again limit the number of waiver options available. It should but it won't, as this week will see several of the bottom dwellers in the league sitting out, namely the AFC East. This gives […]

Lavonte David Has Sprained MCL

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) is dealing with a sprained MCL, but the team is playing "wait and see," according to a source. David could wind up missing some time despite finishing the Week 10 game against the Redskins. A bad Bucs defense can ill-afford to lose one of their best defenders against […]

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

Week 11 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 11, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers. Fortunately, you now have an opportunity to utilize your waiver […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10. Among the low-owned studs and high-owned duds were a couple notable injuries, with Cooper Kupp's knee being the biggest (as of Sunday Night Football). We here at RotoBaller are here to get […]

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Did the Bucs just now remember they have Jacquizz Rodgers on the roster? He still hasn't registered double-digit touches in a game all season but in Week 10's loss to the Redskins, Rodgers caught all eight of his pass targets for 102 yards […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries has received 30 targets over the past four games. Garbage time has served him well to say the least. Humphries is not someone I want to add, let alone start but he deserves a mention for […]

Tampa Signs Cairo Santos

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent kicker Cairo Santos on Monday, according to a source. The Bucs released Chandler Catanzaro earlier in the day after he missed two field goals in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins. Santos filled in for the Rams this season when Greg Zuerlein was hurt and went 5-for-6 in […]

Chandler Catanzaro Released By Tampa

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released kicker Chandler Catanzaro on Monday, according to sources. Catanzaro made 11 of his 15 field-goal tries and 23 of his 27 extra-point attempts this year. He missed two of his three tries in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins and was let go as a result. Whoever Tampa brings […]

Bucs Sticking With Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in Week 11 against the Giants. Fitzpatrick went 29-for-41 for 406 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins, but Tampa still thinks he gives them a better chance at winning than Jameis Winston. Against the […]

Cameron Brate Continues to Struggle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate has been awful this season and showed no signs of life in the loss to the Redskins in Week 10. Brate caught one pass for 14 yards and did not score for the fourth straight week. He only saw three targets, but one was in the red zone […]

Adam Humphries is Held in Check by Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries was starting to become an interesting fantasy option, but he was completely silenced against the Redskins in Week 10. He caught two of his three targets for 53 yards and did not find the end zone. He only saw three targets, but Humphries saw at least eight targets […]
