Week 12 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 12, as some of you are focused on constructing lineups that will advance into the fantasy playoffs, while others have begun concentrating on how you can fine-tune your rosters that have already secured a place in the postseason. With the playoffs rapidly approaching, it is highly recommended […]

Week 12 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 12 is upon us, and two of the best fantasy offenses in the NFL are both on their byes this week. Not only will players be looking for kicker streamers with Greg Zuerlein and Harrison Butker out this week, but players will be scrambling to fill a ton of spots. The fantasy regular season […]

Week 12 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Fantasy footballers are not going to have the pleasure of using Travis Kelce this week. The second and third-most explosive offenses in the NFL are off thanks to the Los Angeles Rams and Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs being on bye. The Kelce owners especially have a wrench thrown into their lineup plans as he is […]

Week 12 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It was another week full of excitement, tragedy, and confusion at the quarterback position. We had some tough injuries, mid-game benchings, and several exciting deep league options at quarterback for Week 12. Only two teams are on bye this week, but they are big ones. No Patrick Mahomes or Jared Goff this week, as both […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 has been quite the show thus far, as all of our fantasy teams can only aspire to be half as successful as the New Orleans Saints, who appear to be executing at will over opponents. Remember when the Buccaneers beat them? Me neither. Anyway, we here at RotoBaller are always looking to get […]

Colt McCoy (QB, WSH) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Smith is done for the season after suffering a gruesome broken leg in Washington’s Week 11 loss to Houston, which leaves Colt McCoy as the Redskins' starter for the rest of the way. Smith already wasn’t producing fantasy numbers before going down, so on the […]

Jonnu Smith (TE, TEN) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It takes pass catchers a little longer than other position players to adjust to the NFL game, and Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith is a prime example. It took the former 2017 third-round pick 23 games to catch 23 passes to start […]

Redskins Defense Solid In Loss To Texans

The Washington Redskins defense took something of a back seat in Sunday's loss to Houston, as it was the Texans who returned an Alex Smith interception the length of the field for a touchdown. The Redskins, to their credit, forced three turnovers, sacked Deshaun Watson three times, and held an opposing offense to 17 or […]

Maurice Harris Invisible Against Texans

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris caught one pass on four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to Houston. Before writing him off altogether, though, consider this: in the two games prior, Harris had 15 receptions for 176 yards. Washington's receiving corps has been so unimpressive that they didn't need any help becoming more […]

Josh Doctson Unimpressive Against Texans

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson followed up back-to-back touchdown performances with more of what we're used to seeing from him on Sunday: three catches for 32 yards. Doctson was targeted seven times in a close game in which the Redskins could've used a rise-to-the-occasion outing from a wideout, but it was not to be. […]

Trey Quinn Adds New Option To Redskins Passing Game

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn saw his first game action since Week 1 on Sunday. Quinn was placed on injured reserve after the season-opener, and reactivated earlier this week. He was visible in the passing game, hauling in all four of his targets for 49 yards, the most of any Redskins wideout. It would […]

Jordan Reed Scores First Touchdown Since Week 1

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed hauled in seven catches for 71 yards and his first touchdown since Week 1 in Sunday's loss to the Texans. He saw 11 targets, his most since Week 8, and his 71 yards were a season-high. Ironically enough, Reed's touchdown reception came from the arm of Colt McCoy, who […]

Adrian Peterson Scores Two Touchdowns Against Texans

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson found himself with a fantasy-relevant workload on Sunday despite the team facing a deficit early on. It was a rare instance for Peterson, as we've seen the Redskins bid farewell to the rushing attack in games like this earlier in the season. He converted his 16 carries into a […]

Colt McCoy Throws Touchdown In Relief Effort

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy got called into action Sunday when starter Alex Smith was carted off the field with a horrific leg injury. McCoy completed six passes for 54 yards and a touchdown, adding 35 rushing yards in the 23-21 loss. The real fantasy impact here lies not in McCoy's performance, but in the […]

Alex Smith Exits With Serious Leg Injury

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith exited Sunday's meeting with the Texans with what appears to be a broken leg. Smith's season is very likely over, leaving Colt McCoy as the new Redskins quarterback. McCoy threw a touchdown to Jordan Reed soon after entering the game.

Trey Quinn Listed As Starter For Week 11

Washington Redskins seventh-round rookie wide receiver Trey Quinn has been listed as the starter in his first game of the season. He has spent the last two months of the season on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury. He has been a good name around the organization, and they are short at wide receiver with […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

Hopefully, all my loyal readers got the joke last week that the picks were actually reversed and did the complete opposite of what was suggested! Nelson Agholor has apparently not morphed into toast, at least not yet.

Week 11 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Some big news in the NFL this week. Le'Veon Bell won't be back this season, so you can finally drop him in re-draft leagues if you hadn't already. It's good to have some clarity to that situation, though I know that a lot of people are frustrated because they spent first rounders on him. In […]

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.

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toes) is still fighting pain in his toes from offseason surgery and is rebuilding strength in his legs, but he hasn't missed a single game in 10 weeks. He currently has 37 catches for 391 yards and one touchdown. “I feel like I’m starting to come over the curve,” […]
