Each week, I'll take a look at how NFL rookies are performing from a dynasty fantasy football perspective. Last week, I ran through the rookies and made a buy or sell recommendation for each.

Fantasy Pop Quiz - Lineup Questions for Week 11

It's nice to remind myself when I'm wrong (there's a good "haha he's married now" joke in there, but that's low hanging fruit that's even too low for me) especially as I weep over the less-than-smoldering ashes of my fantasy teams. In the pre-season, I went back through years of fantasy scoring, estimating how different […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 11

I planned on writing up a long introduction about this current fantasy football season, but I had computer issues the entire time I was working on this week's column, so something had to suffer due to time constraints.

The theme for Week 11 has been all about change in opportunity.

Do Not Cut Strategy for Playoffs - Endgame Special

Entering our last week of byes, and with the fantasy regular season dying down, we have a much better handle on player values than we did in the first couple of months of the NFL calendar. Before Mother Nature interfered, the plan was to have one more significant round of byes in Week 11, with […]

Welcome to Week 11 everyone. As we move closer to the fantasy playoffs, fantasy owners need to prepare for the final push and decide their strategy going into the stretch run.

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Well, we finally have some closure with the Ezekiel Elliott situation. Of course, everyone and their mother was more than eager to alert us that Dallas missing tackle Tyron Smith was a bigger obstacle than missing Zeke.

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 11 Pickups and Adds

If you're a believer in the All-RB bench strategy, you may consider acquiring multiple players on this list.

There […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 11)

There's a surprising amount of players I considered for this list this week--especially at the running back position, where there were a lot of players whose ownership was under 20% but who ended up with five or more carries this week. This is anecdotal, but it felt like running backs were more active this week than […]

In trying to bring you RotoBallers the most timely information, consider this the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 11. Ezekiel Elliott has left the country and we can finally put that situation to bed, sort of. Stay tuned to the Green Bay scenario with Aaron Jones (knee) and Ty Montgomery (ribs) both ailing. […]

Week 10 Dynasty Matchup Previews

Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player. Make sure you don’t buy that hot rookie too soon and don’t sell the aging veteran too late. Each week, I […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 10

Oh, how time has flown by quicker than a Matthew Stafford pass. It feels like just last week that Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill were ravaging the New England Patriots defense, Adrian Peterson was on the New Orleans Saints and Aaron Rodgers was healthy. A lot has changed over the past two-plus months, but one […]

We are heading into Week 10 and owners can feel fantasy playoffs coming quick. It’s crunch time for those fighting to make the playoffs and for those who won’t, time to look towards 2018.

Sunk costs sink seasons. No one likes to admit when they’re wrong, but in fantasy football obstinance leads to losses.  It’s okay to cast off those players that you once thought would bring you to the promise land, but have since only served to hold you back. Don’t fall prey to what are called “Sunk Costs”, […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 10): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

It was a high scoring and mostly lopsided Sunday. We saw two teams score 51 points, and even got to see three melees. I thought it would be underdog city, but instead, the favorites went 7-4-2 against the spread, 9-4 straight up. And the biggest favorite and team that seemed like a lock, the Seahawks, […]

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.
