We are back with another edition of the fantasy matchmaker. Hopefully, a handful of these matchups won you your week in Week 8. However, it is time to look ahead to Week 9. There are a handful of defenses around the league that are beginning to display different trends than they did at the beginning […]

While Week 9 was an underwhelming slate on paper, it surely did not disappoint, as we got one of the games of the year in Minnesota-Indiana. This week, we get the regular-season slate of the year on paper. No. 10 Texas at No. 19 Missouri. No. 5 UCLA at Minnesota. No. 7 BYU at No. […]

Finding the right defense to stream can give you an advantage in fantasy football, especially when you target favorable matchups before your league mates. As is always the case in this article, we're looking a week ahead, focusing on defenses rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo! leagues, giving you some potential options on the […]

Hey, RotoBallers! Happy Halloween to those who celebrated. An entire month of hockey has been played. Players are being moved (Connor Hellebuyck), and others have requested trades (Dylan Larkin and Nikita Kucherov). Fantasy managers are starting to identify potential breakout candidates and are growing concerned about many underperforming stars. However, it is not always about […]

With eight weeks in the books, the NFL season is almost halfway over, and fantasy football seasons are turning the corner and pushing toward the playoffs. With two more teams on a bye week in Week 9 and injuries also continuing to mount, almost all fantasy managers are looking for depth, especially in the backfield. […]

We didn't get another King of the Court competition on DraftKings today, but I am keeping my eyes peeled for the next one; don't worry! Hope y'all had a good Halloween weekend and a nice day off yesterday for Election Day! Now that the whole NBA had a day off, that means 28 teams are […]

Looking back on Week 8, there were plenty of high-scoring NFL games, but it didn't feel like an explosive week for fantasy football. A handful of teams with multiple fantasy stars underperforming could explain why. For example, the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, and Atlanta Falcons scored just 29 points combined. Needless to say, it was […]

I missed everything from 4 to 9 this week, so it was another bad week. It wasn't for everyone. "BamaBoy" got 49 out of a possible 55 points this week. "PAPIPEREZ" was the only other one in the group to break 40 points (41). This caused some movement at the top of the group after […]

How early is too early to compare NBA players' performances to the baselines they set last season? It might be a tad early, but here we are only two weeks into the season, and I'm ready to start analyzing some early-season trends. I mean, what else was I supposed to do on a day with […]

We've officially entered November, but it didn't stop Halloween from leaving its mark on a wild Week 8 full of tricks and little treats. It’s time for contenders to bolster their roster. It’s do-or-die time for those at the bottom of the standings. There should be opportunities to sell high on risers or ship out […]

It's not easy to let go of a player who's served you well this season in fantasy football. You may think players who have done well to this point will surely continue to score highly and should be started for the rest of the season. But we've seen numerous examples of players getting off to […]

Week 8 in the NFL was a joy to watch. Several divisional races around the league got interesting. The NFC South is a mess, Pittsburgh is in command in the AFC North, and the Lions made up a game in the NFC North. Additionally, there are no more undefeated teams left in the NFL with […]

Hey RotoBallers, we are back with more updated waiver wire advice. It's Week 9, and fantasy managers should scout the waiver wire for players who can help with that playoff push or add a high-upside bench or injury stash. Only the Steelers and Titans are on bye this week, so there are more streamers to […]

The 2026-27 NFL season is nearing the halfway point, and the postseason picture is beginning to take shape. However, let's step back from the current NFL and take a stroll down memory lane. In this piece, we'll identify each NFL team's biggest draft bust of all time. These players were selected with high draft capital […]

The 2026 NFL season is nearing its halfway point, with eight weeks complete. While fantasy football managers have likely figured out what works and what doesn't for their lineups at this point in the campaign, there is still a lot to learn, and there will likely be a few surprises along the way as the […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce signed a four-year, $116 million contract to return to the Colts this offseason, and the team traded Michael Pittman Jr., opening the door for him to be the team's No. 1 option at receiver. Pierce showed a high ceiling in the past and got some hype as a potential […]

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt seemed to be working into the top spot in his team's backfield and growing into a solid fantasy producer. The Commanders got Jayden Daniels back from injury, and it was showing some potential momentum coming into the middle of the season. However, Croskey-Merritt's season was derailed in Week 5, […]

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate was the first receiver taken in the 2026 NFL Draft, going off the board at No. 4 overall to the Titans. While it took him some time to adjust to the league, he seems to be starting to find his rhythm and post some strong games while developing chemistry […]

Tyler Allgeier and Kenny Gainwell both delivered career-best rushing performances in Week 8, but their waiver value comes from different circumstances. Arizona lost two running backs during its comeback win in Dallas, while Tampa Bay found enough rushing work for both members of its backfield. MarShawn Lloyd belongs in a different category. His immediate production […]

Mike Washington Jr. handled 25 carries in Week 8. Emmett Johnson turned five receptions into 128 yards. Seth McGowan's opportunity could change dramatically if Indianapolis moves Jonathan Taylor before the trade deadline. Only Washington's case rests on a newly expanded rushing role. Johnson still works behind Kenneth Walker III, and Taylor remains Indianapolis' starter with […]

Khalil Shakir doesn't need a touchdown to deliver a useful PPR afternoon. His five-catch, 64-yard performance against Baltimore was another reminder that Buffalo's passing game has room for him even with D.J. Moore available. Wan'Dale Robinson's touchdown against Cincinnati won't help managers cover his upcoming bye. Ryan Flournoy is available to play in Week 9, […]

DeMario Douglas and Kyle Williams scored long touchdowns against Miami, while Efton Chism III led New England in receptions. All three remain widely available on fantasy waiver wires. The opportunity followed A.J. Brown's absence with ankle and knee issues, plus injured-reserve stints for Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins. Brown was limited Wednesday, missed Thursday and […]

A return for New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) appears to be imminent. Hall hasn't played in a game since suffering an injury to his right quadriceps in a 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Following the injury, Hall was considered "week-to-week." However, he has ramped up his practice activity […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our fantasy football D/ST streamers and starts for Weeks 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the 2026 season. This article will identify the best D/ST to pick up for this week and in the weeks ahead.  Every week of the fantasy football season, we dive into the best defenses to stream for the […]

Fantasy managers drafted Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka expecting to see growth in a passing attack without veteran Mike Evans. Instead, they’ve undoubtedly been frustrated by an inconsistent passing offense that has hurt fantasy production across the board. Things took a turn for the worse over the last two weeks, with Egbuka missing […]

On the surface, Travis Etienne Jr. signing with the New Orleans Saints in free agency seemed like a potential game-changing move for fantasy managers. Etienne was coming off arguably his best professional season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and was joining an ascending offense with a young quarterback and offensive-minded head coach. Instead, fantasy managers were […]

The 2026 fantasy football season has flown by, and hopefully, you're near the top of your league's standings.
