Matchups matter more than brand recognition in fantasy football, especially at tight end.

Week 9 offers some intriguing matchup advantages, and a few lesser-known options could easily outperform the big-name tight ends we're used to seeing in our […]

Are injuries worse than ever in the NFL? This is a common question posed by fans every year, but 2026 surely feels different than most.

After weeks of watching players drive us crazy and finally reaching a point where we're comfortable sending them to the waiver wire, we still have to wait until the NFL trade deadline. Several players who have graced this series throughout the year are now subject to trade talks. Historically speaking, midseason NFL trades rarely mean […]

The calendar has turned to November, which brings Week 9 (a modest two-team bye, thank goodness) to our doorsteps!

It's November, and amazingly we're already in Week 9! In most fantasy leagues, about five weeks remain in the regular season, so there is still plenty of time to make a playoff push. The Steelers and Titans are the only teams on a Week 9 bye. At RotoBaller HQ, we get a head start on […]

Every week, every week, there is something. This week, we saw Ashton Jeanty essentially get benched, more or less, for the rookie Mike Washington Jr. This backfield just got a whole lot messier. Will this stick or was it a one-week blip? Fantasy managers can't be sure, which makes this situation even more challenging. Fantasy […]

Each week, it's important to stay on top of the waiver wire, but especially with wide receivers. That's because this is a position where you're most likely to find major value. We've already seen it so far this year with rookies like Omar Cooper Jr. and Germie Bernard. At the same time, we also have […]

This is not the week byes will destroy fantasy football managers.
