Case Keenum Dealing With Foot Injury

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if this injury is serious enough to keep Keenum out of action in Week 4 against the Giants, but it's surely worth monitoring on a short week. Keenum was predictably bad against a stout Bears Defense on Monday night and will be […]

Terminating James Conner as Your RB1

What a rollercoaster of a year for Pittsburgh so far. The Steelers finished the 2018 season with a Week 17 win over the Bengals, but still fell short of the postseason. By the time that game was played, Antonio Brown had at least one foot out the door in Pittsburgh. Le'Veon Bell had just completed […]

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 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Daniel Jones. That's where this article will begin and end. As one of the many analysts who mocked the Giants on draft day and held heavy skepticism about his prospects as an NFL quarterback, let me be the first to issue a formal apology to Mr. Jones. Of course, Giants fans know they can't have […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

The better part of three weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse. One must still consider the matchups played thus far and those to come, but usage and volume are becoming reliable. Week 4 also brings the first bye week, with the Jets and […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Some of you have been receiving outstanding results from the running backs that you selected during your draft process. Unfortunately, there are many of you who have endured injuries, disappointing output, and inconsistent patterns of usage with your runners. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have diminished your enthusiasm for some of […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

This was a crazy week at the quarterback position, as the backups came out to play. We saw big performances from Daniel Jones, Kyle Allen, Gardner Minshew, and Teddy Bridgewater that few saw coming. With all these new names stepping forward, it'll be tough to know who's worth adding and who to leave on waivers. […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The main story of Week 3 was the fill-in quarterbacks...and how effective some of them were. That's going to throw a lot of our analysis of defenses into turmoil, and we've gotta be ready for Week 4. Below are RotoBaller's Week 4 defense tiers and rankings, or which defenses to stream, start and target off […]

Redskins Expect Jordan Reed To Play This Year

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that he expects tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) to play again at some point this year. He won't play in Week 4 against the Giants and his return is likely weeks away, at best. Reed hasn't played since being diagnosed with a concussion in the third preseason game […]

Vernon Davis Pulls In Just Two Receptions

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis had just two receptions for 30 yards against the Bears on Monday night. The Bears Defense forced a handful of turnovers from quarterback Case Keenum, who threw three picks while having issues holding on to the ball, making things difficult for anyone outside of Paul Richardson, Terry McLaurin, and […]

Terry McLaurin Catches Another Touchdown

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin had another standout performance on Monday night against Chicago, finishing with 70 yards and a touchdown off of six receptions (eight targets). After compiling at least five catches and one score in his first three games as a professional (an NFL-first), the rookie continues to thrive on a team […]

Paul Richardson Has Eight Receptions In Loss

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson finished with a game-high eight receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown during the loss to Chicago on Monday night. With the Bears Defense making life difficult for quarterback Case Keenum, the veteran still made the most of his time on the field as he was targeted nine times […]

Chris Thompson Plays Well In Loss

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson ran for just 29 yards on seven attempts in the loss to Chicago on Monday night but was able to offset his lack of efficiency as a runner by collecting four passes for 79 yards. With Adrian Peterson, who had 37 yards on 12 attempts, unable to get much […]

Adrian Peterson Rushes For Just 37 Yards

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed for only 37 yards on 12 carries in the loss to Chicago on Monday night. With the Bears Defense doing its thing, the veteran had trouble getting anything going while also splitting carries with Chris Thompson, who ran for an equally unimpressive 29 yards on seven attempts. After […]

Case Keenum A Mess On Monday Night

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum put on a semi-miserable performance against the Bears on Monday night. Turnovers were the theme for Keenum in this one as the veteran signal-caller would throw three interceptions, with one being returned for a touchdown, to go along with a plethora of fumbles. The 31-year-old was able to compensate for […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After Week 1 saw defenses slow down rusty offenses, Week 2 had the offenses flipping the script. Offenses were scoring touchdowns and moving the ball with much more success. In Week 3, that trend is likely going to continue. Offenses are getting more in sync especially when it comes to quarterbacks. Several starting NFL quarterbacks […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Essential Fantasy Football Running Back Handcuffs: Get 'Em Now

When James Conner left last Sunday’s game with a knee injury, his owners immediately consulted their league’s free-agent list to see if Jaylen Samuels was available.

Vernon Davis A Sneaky Option For Week 3

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis will draw the start if Jordan Reed is once again inactive, and he's facing a decent matchup if so. The Bears have allowed 15 receptions to tight ends for 133 yards and a touchdown. The question any fantasy owner must ask themselves if considering Davis for Week 3 is […]

Paul Richardson A Long Shot To Produce In Week 3

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson has seen just 10 targets in two weeks. Despite Case Keenum having attempted 81 passes, Richardson just hasn't seen enough volume to believe he's in line for a big night against the Bears on Monday. Terry McLaurin, Trey Quinn, and Chris Thompson have combined for a target share near […]

Trey Quinn A Deep PPR Option Against Chicago

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn has seen 13 targets through two games. His team's inability to run the ball suggests he could be looking at another relatively high target share on Monday night. The Bears allowed the fourth-most receptions to opposing wideouts last season, and just got carved up by Emmanuel Sanders last Sunday. […]
