Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Derek Carr, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill

The NFL trade deadline was a yawn. Let’s hope the rest of your fantasy football season isn’t. Fantasy footballers have to contend with another four-team bye week that takes all of the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons out of play. But even with a slightly smaller player pool to […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings are becoming a true contender. Even though the Vikings air raid looked strong with quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing for 285 passing yards and wideout Stefon Diggs eclipsing the 100 receiving yard mark in a 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins, running back Dalvin Cook stole the show with 171 total yards and […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 9

Welcome to Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season. We kick this week off with a fun game in the University of Phoenix between the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers are huge away favorites, sitting at -10 with a 43 total. The biggest news is both David Johnson and Chase Edmonds likely […]

Chris Thompson Still Not Practicing

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Thompson is dealing with turf toe and hasn't played since Week 6. He seems unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Bills, and even if he's active, he'd be a desperation RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues in Washington's poor offense. If […]

The All-Regression Team

The NFL season has reached its halfway point. About half of the league has played eight games, and the rest of the league has played seven with their byes out of the way. With the regular season half over, it's likely the majority of your fantasy regular season is over as well. We've seen some […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 9 Waiver Wire Targets

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). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As we enter the second half of the fantasy regular season, all eyes will be on the news wire as the trade deadline approaches. We already recommended some players to add/stash/acquire ahead of October 29, so hopefully you were able to take action this past week. If not, don't worry - there are still plenty of […]

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 […]

Wild Cards: Fantasy Outlook for Arizona's RBs

When fantasy owners drafted David Johnson in the first round this season, they thought and hoped for a return to superstar form. Johnson had an Average Draft Position of seventh overall in the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC). The season opened in promising fashion, with 137 yards from scrimmage and six receptions plus a rushing […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

The regular season continues to advance at a relentless pace as we have now entered planning for Week 9. Some of you are ecstatic with the level of production that has been delivered by your running backs. But many of you have been contending with unwanted developments at this position including injuries, inconsistent usage, and […]

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 […]

Week 8 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Unfortunately, it is back to another terrible Monday night game. Not only do we need to deal with Booger McFarland and his commentary, but we need to do so while watching the Dolphins. Coming off a bye week, the Steelers should come out refreshed at home. James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster should be ready to […]

Updated Week 8 PPR Rankings (Top 300)

Welcome to Week 8 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 8 PPR rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates: Keenan Allen is active, but is expected to be on a snap count. Christian Kirk is expected to make his return this week. Josh Jacobs and Tyrell […]

Redskins Shopping Josh Norman

The Washington Redskins are shopping veteran cornerback Josh Norman with the Oct. 29 trade deadline quickly approaching. If he's send packing, it'll likely be for very little given his age and big contract. Like the rest of Washington's defense this year, Norman has underwhelmed and has looked his age in 2019. Especially if Norman is […]

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 […]

Week 8 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

With the halfway point of the season nearly here, hopefully your fantasy football squad isn't "seeing ghosts" like Sam Darnold and is actually in the hunt for a playoff spot. Four more teams will be on bye in Week 9 and a season-high six teams will have the week off in Week 10, so the […]

Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Corey Davis, Curtis Samuel, Mohamed Sanu

No Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson this week? No problem! Fantasy football players might need to make do without one or more of their superstars this week due to the dreaded bye week putting the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys on a one-week vacation. Daily fantasy contest players will also have […]

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 […]

Trey Quinn Hits Rock Bottom Against Vikings

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn caught one pass for 15 yards on Thursday night, and that's about the size of it. Every downfield pass-catcher on this team not named Terry McLaurin has routinely been the victim of an absolutely hapless offense with no visible hope of turning things around. Quinn has been a total […]

Jeremy Sprinkle Goes For 12 Yards Against Minnesota

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Thursday's loss to the Vikings. It is actually becoming impressive just how incompetent this offense is in almost every facet of the game. The idea that any team in the entire league could struggle to even remotely involve multiple players […]

Paul Richardson Remains A Non-Factor

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson caught three passes for 34 yards on Thursday night against the Vikings. This is sadly a step in the right direction after he was held without a catch in each of his previous two outings. Not that Richardson should be anywhere near your fantasy roster in the first place, […]

Adrian Peterson The Lone Bright Spot For Redskins

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 14 times for 76 yards against Minnesota on Thursday night. He also caught two passes for 27 yards. This would have amounted to a solid fantasy day if he capped it off with a touchdown, but his team was held out of the endzone entirely for […]

Wendell Smallwood Invisible In Week 8

Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood logged 20 total yards on three touches in Thursday night's loss to the Vikings. Adrian Peterson's status wasn't officially known until right before game time when he was declared active, at which point Smallwood's outlook for the Thursday contest grew bleak. Despite Chris Thompson also battling an injury in […]

Terry McLaurin Held In Check On Thursday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four of six targets for 39 yards on Thursday night. All three stats led the team, which says a lot about how bad the Redskins offense is. McLaurin's future fantasy value takes a hit if Case Keenum (concussion) can't get back on the field right away, and his […]

Dwayne Haskins Picked Off In Scoreless Relief Effort

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins took the helm when Case Keenum went down with a concussion on Thursday night. He didn't get to do much, attempting just five passes. Unfortunately, one of those was intercepted deep in Minnesota territory in what was a one-score game at the time. With an extra few days until their […]

Case Keenum The Starter When Healthy

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) will be the starter in Week 9 against the Bills if he's healthy. If he can't get cleared from the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury Thursday night, rookie Dwayne Haskins would get the start. The good news is that […]

Case Keenum Knocked Out Thursday With Concussion

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) suffered a concussion on Thursday night against the Vikings and has been ruled out for the second half. The journeyman quarterback was 12-for-16 for 130 yards without a touchdown or interception, but he did lose a fumble before leaving. He wasn't terrible, but he predictably wasn't great either against […]
