Inside the Tent - Week 10 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 […]

Jamison Crowder Has A Chance To Play In Week 10

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Crowder has missed the team's last four games and hasn't played since Oct. 8 against the Saints. Even before his injury Crowder had been a bust for fantasy owners, catching 13 of his 19 targets for 134 […]

Chris Thompson Ruled Out Against Bucs

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Buccaneers. Thompson has now missed three of the last four games and isn't a must-hold in fantasy leagues if you need help at other positions. Kapri Bibbs will once again work as the passing back behind Adrian Peterson. He […]

What's Wrong with Jordan Reed?

Rule 86: If Jordan Reed is in Washington's lineup, he should be in yours. This was the rule to live by when it came to Jordan Reed throughout his career. One of the NFL's most dynamic playmakers, Reed struggled to stay on the field but shined when he was on it. Reed led all tight ends […]

Redskins Defense Looks To Get Back On Track

The Washington Redskins defense learned the hard way that it's unrealistic to expect to be able to shut every team in the NFL down on a weekly basis. The Atlanta Falcons knocked the unit down a few pegs in a 38-14 home defeat last week. Their shot at redemption comes in the form of the […]

Josh Doctson Looks To Find End Zone Again

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson finally caught a touchdown in Week 9 against the Falcons. He'll look to pay the end zone another visit in Week 10 against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed wide receivers to cross that threshold 14 times this season. The Bucs are also guilty of permitting double-digit catches and […]

Trey Quinn Looking To Return From IR

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn (ankle) is back at practice and is eligible to return from Injured Reserve next Monday at the earliest. The seventh-round rookie was hurt in the only game he played in this year, but it's worth noting since the Redskins thin receiving corps recently lost Paul Richardson for the season. […]

Maurice Harris With Something To Prove Against Buccaneers

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris took advantage of his involvement in the desperation passing attack during last week's loss to the Falcons. He caught 10 passes and--surprisingly enough--became the first Redskins player to surpass 100 receiving yards in a game this season. Week 10 presents him with the opportunity for another first: to be […]

Adrian Peterson A Bounce-Back Candidate

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has done well with his role in the offense when game flow has permitted his utilization. Last week against the Falcons, he fell victim to the opposite script and was held to just 33 yards from scrimmage. A date with the Buccaneers could send Peterson trending back in the […]

Jordan Reed An Unknown Quantity With Upside

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed has had one of the more disappointing fantasy seasons of any player in the league, but Week 10 offers him one last chance to turn things around. The Buccaneers have surrendered a touchdown to opposing tight ends in five of their last six games, and have given up at […]

Alex Smith Could Shine In Week 10

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith has thrown one touchdown each in his last three games, and has not thrown more than two in any game this season. A Week 10 contest with the bottom-dwelling Buccaneers pass defense could mean a reprieve from Smith's struggles to find the end zone. Tampa Bay has allowed multiple touchdown […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

Chris Thompson Remains Absent

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Thompson appears poised to miss his second straight game. He just hasn't been healthy this year and has been a non-factor in the team's putrid passing attack in 2018. Kapri Bibbs should once again fill in as […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

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 […]

Jordan Reed Listed With Back Injury

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (back) was limited in practice on Wednesday. He was dealing with a neck injury last week, but it's unclear if this is related. It always seems to be something with Reed, but surprisingly he hasn't missed any games this year. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, Reed has yet to […]

Jamison Crowder, Chris Thompson Still Out Of Practice

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and running back Chris Thompson (rib) did not practice on Wednesday. Both Crowder and Thompson have missed multiple games due to injuries this year and are two of the big reasons why this offense has yet to really get off the ground. Neither is off to a good […]

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 10

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

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. […]

Duke Johnson Is Fantasy-Relevant Once Again

I was facing a dilemma in one of my fantasy leagues last week with Patriots rookie Sony Michel (knee) questionable to play in the Sunday night game. Should I risk rolling with him and then possibly having to pick up Cordarrelle Patterson or Jamaal Williams at the last minute if Michel was inactive? My other […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis turned in his best performance of the season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Davis brought in five of seven targets for 62 yards in the game, which included a long of 20 yards. He also saw […]

Maurice Harris (WR, WSH) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Since the Washington Redskins bye-week, wide receiver Maurice Harris has started to see some work due to injuries surrounding the wide receivers each week. Even though he hasn’t had enough value each week to even be considered a starter, this week was much […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, WSH) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kapri Bibbs hasn't exactly garnered a whole lot of attention out of the Redskins backfield as he ranks fourth on the team in carries (13) and rushing yards (56) behind Adrian Peterson, Alex Smith, and Chris Thompson. However, even with Alex Smith […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

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 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Not much time is left in the fantasy football season, so decisions are critical right now. With the waiver wire so thin, a week of injuries can leave you scrambling last minute. Stefon Diggs was a surprise scratch this week and if you didn’t work the waiver wire prior to his scratch, then you may […]

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the season rolls on, the kicker position is always a tough one to gauge. There are so few players locked in as starters that you sometimes have to hope you get lucky. After producing double digits only three times all season, why would Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey put up 11 this week? That's […]

Week 10 Quarterback - Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Outside of Nick Mullens big Thursday Night performance, it was a rather quiet week for waiver wire quarterbacks. Some of the studs like Drew Brees and Matt Ryan had huge games, but there weren't many emergent names or standout performances in the middle tiers other than Mullens. Four teams are on bye this week, with […]
