Inside the Tent - Week 12 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 11

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 […]

Redskins Defense On Losing End Of High-Scoring Affair

The Washington Redskins defense failed to slow down the Cowboys on Thursday, and as a result they wound up hurting any fantasy owner who started them for Week 12. Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper had huge days, and the Redskins didn't force a single turnover. The normally reliable defense rounded out a forgettable performance by […]

Trey Quinn Scores Touchdown Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn found his way into the end zone in Thursday's loss at Dallas. He was targeted six times, but was only able to amass 26 yards. Despite this relatively pedestrian performance salvaged by a touchdown, Quinn appears to be establishing himself as a reliable option in Washington's passing game. Even […]

Josh Doctson Sees 10 Targets In Loss To Cowboys

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson saw a season-high 10 targets in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys, and he turned in his best all-around performance of the season as a result. His six catches and 66 yards were also season-highs, though he failed to get into the end zone to top off his outing. It's […]

Adrian Peterson Slowed Down By Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson recorded 35 yards on 12 carries in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. He fell victim to the same set of circumstances that has hampered his fantasy value at various points throughout the season: the Redskins could not contain the opposing offense effectively enough to lean heavily on the running […]

Vernon Davis Catches Long Touchdown Against Dallas

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis caught the first of two Colt McCoy touchdowns on Thursday. Unfortunately for the fantasy football community, this probably didn't help many owners in season-long formats. Moreover, it is not something to expect going forward. The veteran tight end has shown a tendency to make a play or two in […]

Another Solid Day For Jordan Reed

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed caught six passes for 75 yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. He didn't get into the end zone, but Thursday's performance gives Reed back-to-back showings of 70 or more yards. If indeed there is a correlation between these numbers and the fact that Colt McCoy has taken over […]

Colt McCoy's Day Marred By Turnovers

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy put forth an admirable effort in his Thanksgiving Day start, tossing for 268 yards and two touchdowns against Dallas. Unfortunately he also threw three interceptions in the loss. The Redskins had a hard time containing the Cowboys offense, and as a result McCoy, was forced to air it out a […]

Jordan Reed - Back to Fantasy Relevance?

After all the injuries and off-season surgeries, is Jordan Reed ready to re-emerge as an option for fantasy football owners? Is the same injury to Alex Smith on the same date 33 years later and after the same 301 pass attempts which ended Joe Theismann's career going to give Jordan Reed life once again? If we […]

Samaje Perine May Miss Another One In Week 12

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine (calf) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Dallas. The 23-year-old wasn't available for the team's last game against the Texans in Week 11, and despite being upgraded to a limited participant in recent practices, he may not be ready to go. Regardless if he plays or not, he will […]

Jamison Crowder Questionable For Week 12

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys. Crowder injured his ankle against the Saints back in September and though he is progressing, his inability to practice during the week is not a good sign. In his stead, expect extra looks for tight end Jordan Reed and wide […]

Chris Thompson Out Once Again

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (rib) will not play on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys. Thompson has been dealing with the injury for a significant portion of the season, and though he had hoped to be available in Week 12, the injury continues to cause the 28-year-old a substantial amount of pain. As expected, veteran […]

Redskins Defense Looks For Statement Win Against Dallas

The Washington Redskins defense is the primary reason the team currently boasts a winning record. We can expect a spirited performance from this unit on Thanksgiving Day, following a Week 11 defeat in which the team also lost quarterback Alex Smith for the season. Their opponent is a Cowboys team that is beginning to gather […]

Maurice Harris Looks To Bounce Back In Week 12

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris surprisingly leads all his teammates at the position in receptions and receiving yards despite not catching a single pass until Week 5. That is more an indictment against said teammates than it is a reason to celebrate Harris, but somebody has to catch the ball occasionally for the Redskins, […]

Jordan Reed Seeks Resurgent Second Half

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed showed his first real signs of life all season in Week 11, racking up 71 yards and a touchdown while also seeing his second-highest target total of the year. He'll look to build on his success against a Cowboys defense that has done well at limiting tight end production […]

Adrian Peterson Faces Tough Defense On Thanksgiving

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has been given a significant workload this season, but he's in line to receive even more volume for the home stretch now that Alex Smith is lost for the year. Peterson's first test as the undisputed leader of Washington's offense will come against a Cowboys team that has been […]

Trey Quinn Seeks Increased Role In Offense

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn will look to build on a modest Week 11 outing in which he hauled in all four of his targets for 49 yards. Working in his favor is the fact that he finds himself immersed among a ghastly collection of wideouts that have done next to nothing of fantasy […]

Steer Clear Of Colt McCoy On Thanksgiving

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy will captain the offense for the foreseeable future in the wake of a season-ending injury suffered by Alex Smith. He'll make his first start of 2018 under some unenviable circumstances: on a short week against one of the NFL's better defensive units, the Dallas Cowboys. Washington's offensive scheme has hardly […]

To Handcuff, or Not To Handcuff?

I've been handcuffed more times than I care to admit. Unfortunately, never for "pleasure" (I have only three shades of grey). Before you ask, I'm not some felonious degenerate (though I know a few, and may or may not be related to a few more), there was just a time in my life where I […]

Thanksgiving Thursday DFS Lineup Picks: FanDuel, DraftKings Daily Fantasy Advice

Thanksgiving is a very dope holiday - food and football is an undefeated combination as far as I'm concerned.

We're all blessed to be breathing, and even though life may sometimes feel […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I may or may have not done a little dance when I heard Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn was coming off IR and playing against the Texans. This is a guy I loved coming out of the draft and thought he would […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The byes are almost done, except that the two teams missing from this week's slate account for half of the starting lineups of the most successful fantasy teams. If anything, this might be a chance for fringe contenders to gain a leg up on their league's powerhouse teams that are missing their Rams and Chiefs. […]

Week 12 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
