Hey RotoBallers! We have another full slate of NFL action in just a few days, which means it's almost time to set our lineups. With the playoff race heating up, every matchup carries even more importance, and finding an edge is crucial to securing a victory. In this piece, we will look at four widely […]

Jared Goff and D'Andre Swift sit close together in the dynasty market, but the offers I'd make for them are different. Goff's seven-game passing production is strong despite a quiet Week 8. Swift's 29-touch night in Seattle was encouraging, though three touchdowns could make this an expensive time to buy. Josh Jacobs is cheaper, with […]

Pittsburgh has the most favorable remaining schedule for wide receivers in this analysis. Houston has the best fantasy-playoff run. Buffalo sits at the opposite end, with a difficult month ahead and two especially tough matchups during Weeks 15–17. The opportunities are different, too. DK Metcalf is coming off a one-catch game, while Luther Burden III […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another slate of NFL action kicks off in a few days! While most are focused on setting their optimal lineups, managers in an inch may need to cut ties with a full year in order to fill their starting lineup. In this piece, we will look at four underperforming players who are viable […]

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 […]

Eight weeks into the 2026 NFL season, fantasy managers can see that even the most reliable players aren't immune to a bad matchup. Look at the Chicago running back from last week. At least D'Andre Swift was kind enough to score three touchdowns last week, because otherwise that would have been a miserable fantasy day. […]

Week 9 is here, the last week before the trade deadline. This could be one of the most insane deadline days in NFL history, as there's just the right amount of buyers and sellers on the market. I'm back with another weekly bold predictions article. Week 8's article was a bit of a letdown. Dak […]

What an interesting array of games we have here in Week 9 of the NFL season. There’s no Buffalo on this slate, no Jacksonville, no Cincinnati, no Chicago Bears, no Bucky Irving, no Bijan Robinson, no Justin Jefferson… where are the stars? I exaggerate a little bit, because we do have strong players at receiver […]

Week 8 brought stellar quarterback play all around. Cam Ward and Joe Burrow went toe-to-toe to combine for 766 passing yards. Trevor Lawrence was excellent once again. Even Bo Nix was able to duel with Patrick Mahomes II who was completely on his game in his own right. When quarterbacks around the league shine, we […]

The Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars kick off Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season on Thursday Night Football in a matchup that looks much less exciting with Lamar Jackson ruled out. Jacksonville enters as a massive 10-point favorite at home, and the low 40.5-point over/under suggests oddsmakers aren't expecting much offense from Baltimore. That's […]

Fantasy managers get a break from the bye week blues; however, the injuries never stop. Surviving those continues to be the theme of the season.

Setting my fantasy football lineups often feels like an exercise in pessimism. As much as I hype myself up at the start of each new week, I can’t help but look for reasons why my players might hurt me. Every Thursday on RotoBaller, I share a handful of players who stand out as particularly worrisome […]

Every year, without fail, at least one player who wasn't ranked in the top 20 finds their way into the top 10. That is true for most positions, but at running back, it's often due to an injury that couldn't have been predicted. The tight end position has always been and will always be a […]
