This isn't just one of the best weeks of the year for NFL fans, it's also a great time for college football.

Playoffs Strategy - Rookies Who Are Ready To Rock

It is hard--very hard--to trust your fantasy season to an unproven rookie late in the season. Early in the year? Whatever-anything goes! That first-round wide receiver playing on a run-first team? Hey, it's Week 2, so I'll take the risk! But by Week 12? The level of trust you have to show at this point […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz: Week 12, NFL 2017

I'm thankful my Week 12 matchup is over already. I've complained a lot in this space how my teams have been doing.

Fantasy Football Buy-Low and Sell-High Candidates For Week 12

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts for Week 12

Entering Week 12, the theme of today’s column is players who have shaken off injuries, slumps, or downright bad starts to the season to hopefully get hot at the right time. As always, the NFL is an attrition league and injuries to other weapons can have a tremendous impact on the target share of the […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers: Week 12

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. […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 12): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

Bill Parcells used to say, Thanksgiving is the time when you find out which teams are for real, and which ones aren't. There is a giant cluster of teams in the hunt for the two spots in the AFC will card. It is conceivable that a 7-9 team AFC team can make the playoffs. On the other hand, […]

Will the real Steelers offense please stand up?

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

In the interest of bringing you RotoBallers the most timely information, consider this the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 12. We no longer have any bye weeks to deal with, and the main slate of Sunday games left us without too many injuries to clean up after.

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 11 felt more on the “hit-or-miss” side, with several stars blowing up and several more falling flat, with few mediocre stat lines to help float our hopes and dreams. That felt dramatic to type, so maybe I'm just feeling emotional as the playoff picture in my leagues starts to take shape. As far as […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire - Week 12 Pickups and Adds

Just two weeks left before most leagues begin the fantasy playoffs. Mercifully, the bye weeks are over and if you are in the hunt, your roster should be pretty much solidified. At this point, bench spots should primarily be used for guys who can help your team win. This means guys who have upside in […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 12 Pickups and Adds

While there were plenty of movers and shakers on the fantasy scene, the tight end position didn't see as much volatility. Injuries have been the biggest story in the tight end world, but the tight ends remained healthy, at least during this past week. So here we are, feverishly looking to analyze statistics and projections to […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 12

With the fantasy trade deadline looming, or in some leagues already passed, the waiver wire will soon be your only place to scoop up last minute fantasy pieces. Throw in the conclusion of bye weeks and most owners have their rosters set in stone. That being said, you should always be looking to round out your bench with […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 12)

As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 11

There is less room for error for fantasy football owners with each passing week. With under a month before the playoffs start in most fantasy football leagues, this is not the time to blow lineup decisions as badly as the Indianapolis Colts blow their draft choice decisions. The same goes for players of one-day contests […]

Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

In a week where so many picks went so wrong, it's good to know that many others were just as wrong. Sleepers Eli Manning, Bilal Powell, and Corey Davis were all big whiffs, while purported busts C.J. Beathard, Jonathan Stewart, and Emmanuel Sanders had their best games of the season. I was almost shocked that […]
