RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 8 Preview

Another week and more injuries at running back. For this week’s article, I’m going to focus on backfields that have had injuries or guys currently banged up and what value can be found in their replacements. Will they just be a bye-week fill in or will some of these newly crowned starters be viable starters […]

The Curious Case of Corey Davis

Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel, Cole Beasley, Dede Westbrook...I could go on and on in listing all the random players who are having a better year than Corey Davis. It won't make you feel any better about drafting him, though. He's been about as disappointing as it gets as far as high profile wide receivers go. […]

Week 8 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 8, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to lingering injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers. Some of you have also been impacted by recent […]

Week 8 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

A lot of NFL teams are turning to their backup quarterbacks, and with poor play and bye weeks many fantasy owners may follow suit heading into Week 8. Four teams are on bye this week, with Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers the two most notable quarterbacks on bye. Lesser owned options Dak Prescott and Marcus […]

Backfields to Avoid - Rest of Season

I’m not ashamed to admit that there are certain things in life that, frankly, I’m just simply too good for. Fast food restaurants inside of gas stations, for example. No, thank you. Strong pass every time. In the same breath, gas stations in the hood. Nope. Overly corny chick flicks that give women unrealistic, fairytale […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

Week 7 was a particularly chaotic one, with several big names going down with injuries and smaller names stepping up before most of us woke up (thanks, London) all the way through the night. We here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you actionable intel as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so consider […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 8)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

  Some weeks, kickers put up a ton of points and they win you a week. This week was not one of those, as the leading scorer after Sunday was Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater with 14 points in standard formats. Hopefully, things turn out better this week with a new slate of games and […]

Corey Davis Held To 10 Receiving Yards

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis struggled once again in Week 7, catching only three of seven targets for 10 yards in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Davis was not just a non-factor in the passing game, but he also had a crucial drop on a well-thrown ball late in the fourth quarter […]

Derrick Henry Scores First Touchdown Of 2018

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry finally found the end zone in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Henry was not overly effective on the ground as he rushed 12 times for only 33 yards and a touchdown, but he also added two receptions for 32 yards as well. Henry will continue to be […]

Dion Lewis Explodes For 155 Yards In Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis had his best performance yet as a Titan, rushing 13 times for 91 yards and adding 64 yards on six receptions. Lewis was clearly the Titans most explosive weapon against the Los Angeles Chargers, and they continued to make it a priority to get him the ball down the […]

Marcus Mariota Throws For 237 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota had a modest day versus the Los Angeles Chargers, throwing for 237 yards and one touchdown. Mariota and the offense were finally able to get going after two weeks without scoring a touchdown, but big drops from receivers Taywan Taylor and Corey Davis still held the offense back. Mariota was […]

Week 7 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Unless you play in a league with a Week 17 playoff round, which...no, no, no, stop it...then Week 7 represents the midway part of the fantasy football regular season, which feels shocking. It's gone so fast! But why has it gone so quickly? Football feels like it just barely returned and now it's already Week […]

Week 7 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Through six weeks we are now starting to see things settle down somewhat. We no longer have the massive movements in the tables that we have seen previously.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

Week 6 wrapped up with the Green Bay Packers giving survivor entries a huge scare. It looked like the Packers were done. Their defense was so bad allowing 7.3 yards per play, yet Aaron Rodgers did it again. He should win the MVP. For those of you saying Pat Mahomes should win, they were a […]

Running Back Buy-Low Assets for the Second Half

Fantasy football at its heart is about creating equity and finding value in selections that you make, with the aim of getting to the end of the playoffs and winning that last game to laud it over your league-mates. One way of doing that is trying to identify who is a player that is running […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 7)

Another week in the books fantasy football lovers and it’s the same old Tennessee Titans who cannot buy an offensive snap without Marcus Mariota being greeted with a defensive player in his face. As I was typing this he was sacked again. Mariota is only the 12th player in NFL history to take 11 sacks […]

Corey Davis Faces A Tough Week 7 Matchup

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has a tough matchup in Week 7 with the talented secondary of the Los Angeles Chargers. Following his breakout Week 4 performance, Davis has managed only 49 and 24 yards in the last two. It is clear that the Titans need Davis to contribute a lot for the offense […]

Derrick Henry Not In Play In Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is not a viable fantasy option in Week 7 when the Titans take on the Los Angeles Chargers in London. Henry has yet to eclipse 60 yards or a touchdown in a game yet this season. With the offense still struggling mightily, it is very likely we see his […]

Dion Lewis An RB3 In Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has not had the season many were expecting from him so far, averaging only 3.1 yards per carry and 22.5 receiving yards per game. The Titans offense as a whole has been struggling more than any unit in the NFL over the last two weeks as they have scored […]

Marcus Mariota Back To Low-End QB2 Status In Week 7

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the offense appeared to have finally found their rhythm in the Week 4 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but they followed that up with consecutive games without scoring a touchdown.
