Redskins Could Be In On Allen Robinson If He Hits Free Agency

If the Jacksonville Jaguars allow wide receiver Allen Robinson to hit free agency, the Washington Redskins could be interested in bringing him in to join quarterback Alex Smith and a newly revamped passing offense. A-Rob posted a ridiculous 1,400 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in a breakout 2015 campaign before being one of the biggest fantasy... Read More

Redskins Have Offseason Priorities Aside from Kirk Cousins

Although reaching an agreement to extend quarterback Kirk Cousins is at the forefront of the Washington Redskins offseason focus, they have several other needs that need to be addressed. Beat writer John Keim of ESPN lists running back, left guard and speed at wide receiver as areas that are particularly in need of improvement. With... Read More

Kirk Cousins Will Take His Time Deciding His Future

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins will take his time and consider all possibilities before deciding on whether to sign an extension to stay in Washington or to move on to another team. "We'll take our time. I don't know how it's going to end. Just want to say thank you (to the fans) ... Thank... Read More

Chris Thompson Will Be Ready For Training Camp

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (leg) faces a four- to six-month recovery from the fractured fibula he suffered in a Week 11 loss to the Saints, but he will be healthy well ahead of Redskins training camp in 2018. Thompson was on his way to a career year as the most productive weapon in the... Read More

Jamison Crowder Has Disappointing Season Finale

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder had just three catches on seven targets for 25 yards in a disappointing loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. It was just his second game with less than 9.7 fantasy points in PPR formats over his last nine, and it came against a team he torched... Read More

Kapri Bibbs Totals 100 Scrimmage Yards Against Giants

With Samaje Perine exiting early with an ankle injury, Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs rushed 12 times for 47 yards and caught eight of nine targets for an additional 53 yards in relief. A late-season free-agent signing, Bibbs acquitted himself well enough down the stretch in Washington to get a look from the Redskins... Read More

Samaje Perine Injures Ankle, Exits Early

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine rushed just twice for three yards before injuring his ankle and missed the remainder of Sunday's loss to the Giants. It was a disappointing end to the season for the rookie runner who showed some promise as a between-the-tackles grinder for a short time after Rob Kelley was placed... Read More

Kirk Cousins Falls Flat In Season Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins had an awful game to close out the 2017 season, completing 20 of 37 passes for just 158 yards and three interceptions. He did rush for a 12-yard touchdown but couldn't get anything going in the passing game. It was the wrong time for Cousins to hit a sour note,... Read More

Target Risers & Potential Breakouts, Week 17

Week 17 of the NFL season is always tricky for fantasy purposes. For this reason, most leagues wrap up fantasy action in Week 16. For a lot of us, the relevant games are over, championships having been awarded to Todd Gurley owners, and a handful of others I'm sure. Still, the somewhat chaotic and imbalanced... Read More

Target Risers & Potential Breakouts, Week 16

Well, we've reached Week 16. For most leagues, it's championship week. With that in mind, if you're still browsing fantasy football content at this point in the season, it likely means you've had a pretty good year and are playing for a title. Or maybe you're a go-getter in a third place matchup with some... Read More

Target Risers & Potential Breakouts, Week 15

By Week 15 of the fantasy football season, if you're still playing, there's a fair chance that you're a veritable encyclopedia of NFL statistical knowledge, at least for the current year. With so much data available, our takes just aren't as hot as they were back in the early part of the season. To the... Read More

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts, Week 14

Week 13 once again saw a handful of truly studly performances from staple fantasy commodities. Keenan Allen became the first player in NFL history to post three straight games with at least ten catches for at least 100 yards and a touchdown, but insofar as he's generated write-ups in each of the last two weeks,... Read More

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts, Week 13

With Week 12 in the books, there are quite a few names to get to, particularly at the wide receiver position, who managed to post noteworthy target totals, and in some cases week-winning fantasy lines, perhaps portending the kind of big December finish that can conclusively redeem an early season disappointment. With more players to... Read More

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... Read More

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts for Week 11

The theme for Week 11 has been all about change in opportunity. Most of the names on this list have seen their situations change significantly from what they were in the early part of the season, whether because of an injury to someone else on their team’s depth chart, or by virtue of returning from...

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... Read More

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts for Week 10

After an absolute whirlwind of a news cycle heading into Week 9, it was good to get some football tape to evaluate. We didn’t get a look at Kelvin Benjamin in his new home in Buffalo just yet, but we did get a glimpse of what the Panthers would look like without him. We also... Read More

Picking Up The Pieces After Deshaun Watson's Injury

Yesterday's season-ending injury left a lot of us in a severe state of fantasy football related depression, to the extent that that's a legitimate phenomenon (it is). Deshaun Watson was perhaps objectively the most exciting player in the NFL in 2017 and was found-money for a lot of our fantasy teams. If you owned him,... Read More

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts Week 10

After an absolute whirlwind of a news cycle heading into Week 9, it was good to get some football tape to evaluate. We didn’t get a look at Kelvin Benjamin in his new home in Buffalo just yet, but we did get a glimpse of what the Panthers would look like without him. We also... Read More

Week 9 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

Now that we’ve passed the season’s halfway point, it’s much more difficult to come up with names for this list than it was in the early part of the season. The diamonds can only stay camouflaged in the rough for so long. There are still opportunities for players who have yet to contribute significantly to... Read More

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts for Week 8

Fantasy football is about two things: opportunity and talent. As you may know, targets are the lifeblood of fantasy value for receivers and many running backs in PPR leagues. In this week’s edition of Target Acquired, we’re going to take a look at some of the noteworthy players with the biggest and/or most unexpectedly high... Read More

Week 8 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

In today’s installment, I want to give you a peek behind the curtain as to my motivation for writing this article each week, but I’ll start with a mea culpa on the Green Bay Packers passing game. My gut call on the Packers pass-catchers was that they were more likely to surprise in a positive... Read More

Target Risers And Potential Breakouts For Week 7

Fantasy value is born of a convergence of opportunity and talent. As you may know, targets are the lifeblood of fantasy value for receivers and many running backs, especially in PPR leagues. In this week’s edition of our target risers column, we’re going to take a look at some of the noteworthy players with the... Read More

Week 7 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic On The Pack

This list is ordinarily exclusively about the players who are popular drop considerations from week-to-week who nevertheless have enough value to hold if you have the roster flexibility. I’m going to break format ever so slightly this week to discuss a group of players who I want to caution against selling low, and that group... Read More

Week 6 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

As we leave Week 5 and enter Week 6 of the 2017 NFL season, we have a sizeable chunk of data to evaluate. With five games of film on the majority of teams, we’re reaching the point where slow starts or infrequent usage can no longer be ignored. Furthermore, we’re in the thick of bye... Read More

Target Risers and Potential Breakouts for Week 6

Week 5 of the NFL season was, in a target share sense, fairly heavy on the chalk. Only two players owned in less than half of Yahoo leagues had more than eight balls thrown their way, as we see usage stabilize throughout the league and quarterbacks perhaps re-focusing on their proven commodities. I expect we'll... Read More

Target Risers and Possible Breakouts for Week 5

If you play in as many leagues as I do, chances are at least one of your teams was ravaged by injuries in Week 4. Dalvin Cook, Chris Carson, Marcus Mariota, Derek Carr, Julio Jones, Rob Kelley, and Jordan Matthews all exited their team’s games early, and in some cases, won’t return this season. We... Read More

Week 5 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

As we approach Week 5, the Broncos, Falcons, Redskins, and Saints are our first round of teams with a bye week in 2017. Fantasy owners with more than one or two players taking the week off, and/or fantasy owners in shallower leagues are, no doubt, going to have to make some very difficult add/drop decisions....

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis (Week 4)

Happy Monday RotoBallers! While you might be back at work and/or on the grind today, there's always some solace in knowing that Monday Night Football awaits. And if yesterday's Sunday slate was a preview of what's to come tonight, we should be in for a good one. Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins travel to... Read More

Week 4 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

It would be incorrect to say that fantasy football rewards patience without also noting that fantasy football just as often rewards haste. A successful fantasy owner is always looking for ways to improve his/her roster even while his/her team is winning handily. If you don’t pick up Week 3’s breakout player, your Week 4 opponent...
