Dustin Hopkins Remains Absent Thursday

Washington Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Head coach Jay Gruden said the big test will come on Friday, when Hopkins typically kicks. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Hopkins will play in Week 11 against the Texans, but we won't know until Friday. If he sits out, […]

Adrian Peterson Feels Refreshed

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson, who has been bothered by ankle and shoulder injuries for the last few weeks, said he is feeling better than he has in quite some time this week. The Redskins have been limiting the veteran back in practices early in the week as a result. “I’m feeling good. Last […]

Trey Quinn Activated From Injured Reserve

The Washington Redskins activated rookie wide receiver Trey Quinn (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed cornerback Joshua Holsey to the practice squad. Quinn was the last pick of this year's draft. He will provide depth to a receiving corps that is without Paul Richardson and Jamison Crowder. However, Quinn will be highly unlikely […]

Vernon Davis Added To Injury Report

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (ribs) was added to the Week 11 injury report, but he put in a full practice on Wednesday. Davis should play this Sunday against the Texans, but as long as Jordan Reed remains healthy, Davis has no business being anywhere near a fantasy roster. He has 15 catches on […]

Jamison Crowder, Dustin Hopkins Miss Practice

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Crowder hasn't played in well over a month and doesn't look close to returning at this point. Leave him on the waiver wire. Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris will continue to serve as the top two wideouts if […]

Chris Thompson Likely To Sit Out This Week

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that there's a good chance that running back Chris Thompson (ribs) will miss the Week 11 game against the Texans. Left tackle Trent Williams (knee) also will not play this Sunday. Neither player practiced on Wednesday. Thompson has only played in five games this year and not since […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 11

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 11 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The New England Patriots put up 10 points, and the Buffalo Bills put up 41. In Week 10, the NFL remained unpredictable as ever, and that included the kicker position. When looking at the top five kicker scorers for this week, two of the top five were on teams with terrible matchups this week, but […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We're almost done with bye weeks, but Week 11 is another big one. Six teams will be on break which should again limit the number of waiver options available. It should but it won't, as this week will see several of the bottom dwellers in the league sitting out, namely the AFC East. This gives […]

FAAB Bidding: Fantasy Football Week 11 Waivers

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present 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 […]

Week 11 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Playoffs hopes run high. We are closing in on the end of the fantasy football regular season which mean every move becomes more critical. If you are closing in on securing a playoff spot, then you can’t afford to make a bad move on the waiver wire. On the opposite side of that, maybe you […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10. Among the low-owned studs and high-owned duds were a couple notable injuries, with Cooper Kupp's knee being the biggest (as of Sunday Night Football). We here at RotoBaller are here to get […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another QB you want to part of, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning still warrants consideration for those needing a temporary fix. He gets the Bucs at home, which should equal fantasy gold (forget what Alex Smith did this week - he doesn't count). […]

Josh Doctson (WR, WSH) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have already written far too much about Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson this season and I’m only 15 words into this part of the article. Just like receivers like Brandon LaFell, though, injuries and other circumstances have provided an opportunity to […]

Jamison Crowder To Undergo MRI

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) will undergo an MRI exam to make sure "all is on track." "He's not quite 100 percent coming in and out of his cuts. I don't think he's totally comfortable with it. Hopefully by Thursday he has a chance," Gruden said. Crowder […]

Redskins Defense Returns To Form Against Buccaneers

The Washington Redskins defense clearly wanted to make amends for the failures that resulted in last week's 38-14 shellacking at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. They accomplished their mission on Sunday by preventing the Buccaneers to score a single touchdown. Washington also forced four turnovers and sacked Ryan Fitzpatrick twice. This is the type […]

Maurice Harris Goes For 52 Yards In Week 10

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris caught all five of his targets in Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay, converting those into a 52-yard showing. For those keeping an eye on Harris to see if he followed up on his 10-catch, 124-yard outing from a week ago, it's probably safe to consider Sunday's performance the more […]

Pedestrian Day For Adrian Peterson

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 19 times for 68 yards in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. The lack of an end zone visit means Peterson's fantasy investors were looking elsewhere in their lineups for outstanding production, but the important thing to remember is that his value is based entirely on volume, […]

Another Fruitless Outing For Jordan Reed

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed led the team in targets with six on Sunday, but all he had to show for it was four catches for 51 yards. Reed has now failed to reach double-digit PPR fantasy points in all but three of his games this season. Much like the rest of his teammates […]

Josh Doctson Scores For Second Straight Week

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson scored the only touchdown in Sunday's 16-3 victory over Tampa Bay. His final line for the day was four catches for 46 yards and that visit to the end zone. The fact that Doctson has now scored in two consecutive games would be encouraging if the Redskins' passing offense […]

Alex Smith Throws One Touchdown In Week 10

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith completed 19 of 27 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers on Sunday. If any NFL offense was going to fail to take advantage of Tampa Bay's poor pass defense, it figured to be the Redskins. Sunday marked the first time since Week 2 that a team […]

Jamison Crowder, Chris Thompson Inactive In Week 10

The Washington Redskins will be without running back Chris Thompson and wide receiver Jamison Crowder for Sunday's meeting with Tampa Bay. In the running game, expect to see heavy doses of Adrian Peterson with some Kapri Bibbs mixed in, while the Redskins passing game should rely more on tight ends Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 10) - Targets and Avoids

Hard to believe we are already in Week 10. The season is flying by and it's sad to that there are only eight weeks left. Last week, the big favorites took care of business. Each team favored by five or more won. In terms of the spread, underdogs went 7-6. With nearly all participants in […]

Week 10 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Howdy, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings front and center and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).  Who am I and why should you care?

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

The playoffs are coming... but not yet. With all the talk of trade deadlines and ROS prep, we should keep one thing in mind - you have to get there first. I've seen teams sell high and buy low right out of contention because they forgot to actually win games in the process of preparing […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 10 Preview

After a week off, it’s time to get back to it. Week 9 offered some underwhelming performances from players we may have been counting on to for a victory. Are those performances going to be the norm moving forward or should we expect better weeks ahead? These key questions need to be answered prior to […]

Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 10): NFL DFS Lineups

We have a lot of good offenses on the main slate this week, with the Saints, Chiefs, Rams, Falcons, Patriots and Chargers all suiting up Sunday. The only offenses really missing are the Steelers and Panthers who met last night. In addition, a couple of the stingier defenses are out of the slate, with the […]
