I’m Danny Boily (@DannyBoily on X), and I proudly contribute fantasy football analysis for @RotoBaller. My perspective on the game is rooted in 30 years of following the NFL and a quarter-century of success playing fantasy football—25 seasons that have taught me that reliable analysis is always the winning edge. For the past three years, my goal as a writer has been to translate that experience into clear, trustworthy advice for my readers. My weekly columns, including my specialized "Landmines" feature, focus on finding the traps in the weekly rankings. I spend my time studying the game film and advanced metrics to identify high-volume players who are statistically poised to underperform due to tough matchups or unsustainable production. This approach is informed by my hands-on background: I've coached both flag and tackle football (plus basketball), which gives me a unique perspective on scheme design and how coaches actually utilize their players on the field. As a lifelong fan, I cheer for the New York Giants and my Edmonton Oilers, but my analysis stays objective and focused on your roster’s success. I believe that sound, consistent reasoning is the key to winning, and my writing is dedicated to providing you with the reliable, well-reasoned evidence needed to confidently manage your team every single week.

Fantasy Football Landmines to Avoid for Week 11 - Geno Smith, James Cook, DJ Moore, and more

By Week 11, the fantasy football landscape can be everywhere.

Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Chargers vs. Cardinals Matchups
