Justin Fields - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Top Fantasy Football QB Adds for Week 4 Include Justin Fields, Sam Darnold, Andy Dalton, Daniel Jones, more

We finally got some good production out of the quarterback position in Week 3. Four quarterbacks (Dak Prescott, Caleb Williams, Andy Dalton, and Jalen Hurts) surpassed 300 passing yards. Three different quarterbacks had three or more passing touchdowns. Scoring is still down across the league, but there are signs that quarterbacks are starting to figure […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 3) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Offenses continued to struggle across the NFL in Week 2. While some of that can be tied to the increased use of two-high coverages from defenses, there has certainly been a wide range of subpar offensive line play this year. Just 12 of 32 teams had their collective offensive lines average a PFF grade of […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Week 3 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Geno Smith, Derek Carr, Sam Darnold and more

Offenses continued to find their footing in Week 2. Just five teams found a way to score 26 or more points. From a fantasy perspective, Week 2 was marginally better than Week 1. We did get four 300-yard passers, but only one quarterback had more than two passing touchdowns (Kyler Murray). Things will certainly improve, […]


Justin Herbert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 2) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

If you like offensive football, Week 1 of the NFL season was underwhelming. Only two quarterbacks threw for over 300 yards. Similarly, just two quarterbacks had more than two passing touchdowns. Part of the issue with Week 1 was the collective struggle of offensive line units across the league. Just nine teams finished the week […]


Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 2 Include Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, more

Week 1 was not a stellar week for quarterbacks. Just six quarterbacks finished Week 1 with 20 or more fantasy points. Only one quarterback (Tua Tagovailoa) had over 300 passing yards. Two quarterbacks (Baker Mayfield and Derek Carr) surpassed two passing touchdowns. The good news is it can only improve from here -- unless you […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 1) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

The NFL season is finally upon us. Teams have gone through the offseason and finished training camp. This week, we will finally get live NFL action. Fantasy drafts have likely come to a close (or will shortly), meaning it is time to start making lineup decisions each week. One facet of NFL football that can […]


Raheem Mostert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Draft Targets and Avoids - AFC/NFC East

The fantasy season is just around the corner with NFL training camps just three weeks away. Plenty of teams were active in free agency and the draft, upgrading the talent on their roster. Understanding the new personnel (and coaching changes) can help fantasy managers start preparing for the season. Here at RotoBaller, we will be […]


Tank Dell - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Draft Targets and Avoids - AFC/NFC South

The 2024 season is nearly upon us. We have seen plenty of player movement throughout free agency and the draft and have seen some of the rookies play with their new NFL teams through OTAs (granted, in shorts and helmets). Fantasy football managers will soon need to start preparing for their upcoming fantasy drafts, identifying […]


Amari Cooper - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Draft Targets and Avoids - AFC/NFC North

Fantasy football drafts are just around the corner, which means it is time to start breaking down the offenses that can provide excellent fantasy value in 2024. Every team in football has players that we should target and avoid in fantasy drafts. Over the next few weeks at RotoBaller, we will be breaking down the […]


Breece Hall - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

2024 NFL Free Agency Offensive Line Winners and Losers

The major waves of NFL free agency have come and gone and the NFL Draft is just around the corner. Every team will look dramatically different in a month, but we can still take a step back and analyze the moves that were made in free agency. There were some solid offensive linemen on the […]


2024 NFL Draft First Look: Top Five Offensive Line Prospects

The NFL playoffs are underway, which means the combine and the NFL draft are just around the corner. Given the talent at quarterback and wide receiver in the 2024 draft class, skill players will be the talk of fantasy football for the next eight months. However, many teams can make significant upgrades across the offensive […]


Bijan Robinson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 18 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

Week 18 represents the last week of the NFL season, and for some, the end of the fantasy season. This week can be especially challenging given teams resting starters or playing young players to get a look heading into the 2024 season. Finding advantageous matchups in the trenches can make or break the season at […]


Derek Carr - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Week 18 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Joe Flacco, Tyrod Taylor and Derek Carr

For many, the fantasy season ended in Week 17. However, there are plenty of leagues that play through the final week of the season in the true spirit of the NFL. If you are in one of those leagues, then this article is for you. Week 18 introduces plenty of chaos with teams trying to […]


Puka Nacua - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 17 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

The 2023 season is coming to a close with many leagues holding their championship in Week 17. If you’re in the championship, that means you need to pull out all of the stops to end the season with a victory. There were some really bad performances from offensive lines in Week 16 and several other […]


Joe Flacco - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Week 17 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Derek Carr, Joe Flacco, and Bryce Young

If you’re reading this article, you’ve likely made it into your fantasy championship. Congratulations on drafting a strong team and playing the waiver wire the right way throughout the season. However, the job is not done yet. For most, Week 17 will be the end of the fantasy season. There is no more reason to […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 16 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Baker Mayfield, Gardner Minshew, Easton Stick

The first week of the fantasy playoffs has come and gone, but the quarterback position remains a mess. In Week 15, eight different teams were forced to play a game with a different quarterback than their Week 1 starter, mostly due to injuries. Still, there were some impressive performances when the fantasy season mattered most. […]


Zamir White - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 16 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

The fantasy season continues on with most leagues cutting down to the final four teams in the playoff semifinals. Fantasy managers have no reason to hold back at this point in the season and need to exploit any and all edges to try and bring home the championship. Week 15 saw significant injuries across offensive […]


Jaymyr Gibbs - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS and Betting Picks

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 15 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

The fantasy playoffs are finally upon us which means it is time for fantasy managers to pull out all the stops to try and secure a championship. Injuries continued to play a major role in games last week, including some very significant losses in the trenches across the league. Several teams with playoff aspirations will […]


Matthew Stafford - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Top Week 15 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Matthew Stafford, Jake Browning, Joe Flacco, more

There were some solid quarterback performances in Week 14. In the most unlikely of events, we got Desmond Ridder, Joe Flacco, and Zach Wilson as three of four 300-yard passers. Additionally, five quarterbacks had three passing touchdowns, which helped sustain the quarterback position in fantasy scoring. The fantasy playoffs are finally upon us, which means […]


Josh Jacobs - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 14) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

For most leagues, Week 14 is the final week before the fantasy playoffs. Fantasy managers are working to secure a first-round bye, a playoff spot, or trying to finish the season strong. Unfortunately, there will be two teams on bye this week as well. The injuries didn’t stop hitting in Week 13 despite fewer teams […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 14 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Baker Mayfield, Gardner Minshew, and Aidan O'Connell

Week 13 was another average week for quarterback production thanks to several big names being on bye week. We got excellent fantasy performances from Brock Purdy (314 yards and four touchdowns), Geno Smith (334 yards and three touchdowns), and Dak Prescott (299 yards and three touchdowns) with little else. For many, Week 14 represents the […]


Zack Moss - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 13) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

The fantasy playoffs are just around the corner and every week matters. Teams who have already locked up a playoff spot need to keep optimizing their roster to push for a championship. Teams on the cusp of earning a playoff bid need to secure crucial wins to stay alive. Finding an edge in matchups can […]


Free Agency Check - Quarterback ADP Risers and Fallers

Top Week 13 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Russell Wilson, Jordan Love, and Baker Mayfield

There weren’t many great games during Week 12, but we still got to see some excellent quarterback performances. Seven different quarterbacks threw for over 300 yards in Week 12, including an awesome shootout between Trevor Lawrence (364 yards and a touchdown) and C.J. Stroud (304 yards and two touchdowns). Unfortunately, Week 13 means bye weeks […]


Gus Edwards - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 12) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 11 has come and gone and the divide is starting to grow between the best and worst offensive lines in the NFL. Week 12 will be another week where we have a full slate of games, so expect that divide to expand even further. Last week was a relatively quiet week on the injury […]


Top Week 12 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Derek Carr, Gardner Minshew and Jake Browning

Week 11 served as a bounceback for the quarterback position in fantasy. Four quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards and 12 different quarterbacks had multiple touchdown passes. We also saw the return of Justin Fields (169 passing yards, a passing touchdown and 104 rushing yards). However, for as good as the week was for […]


Joshua Dobbs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 11 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Joshua Dobbs, Russell Wilson, and Jordan Love

Week 10 signaled a shift back to underwhelming production from quarterbacks across the NFL. Only two players (C.J. Stroud and Joe Burrow) threw for over 300 passing yards in a game where they played against each other. Additionally, we had just seven quarterbacks throw for multiple touchdown passes, headlined by a three-touchdown performance from Brock […]


Jahmyr Gibbs - fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 11) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Bye weeks robbed us of some of the best fantasy players in Week 10. Thankfully, there were still plenty of fireworks, especially with a high-scoring matchup between the Chargers and Lions. Of the teams who were playing, we got a pretty clean week from injuries among offensive line units. The most significant injury is potentially […]


James Cook - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 10) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 9 was a rough one for offensive lines across the NFL. 14 teams had average PFF grades below 60.0 in their matchups. Additionally, we saw more potentially significant injuries for teams across the league. The Titans lost starting tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere for the season with a shoulder injury while the Browns may be working […]


Sam Howell - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Top Week 10 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Sam Howell, Joshua Dobbs, Baker Mayfield

Week 9 provided a historic performance from Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud. Stroud threw for 470 yards and five touchdowns. Outside of him and Dak Prescott (374 yards and three touchdowns), there wasn’t much production from the quarterback position. We also may have lost another starting quarterback (Daniel Jones) to a season-ending injury. In this […]


Amari Cooper - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 9) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 8 was a welcomed break from the bye weeks, but it was short-lived with four teams on bye in Week 9. Fantasy managers who have been relying on teams like Denver, Detroit, San Francisco and Jacksonville will certainly be working to fill some gaps in their lineups in Week 9. Understanding which teams will […]
