FanDuel, DraftKings XFL DFS Lineup Picks (Week 5): Daily Fantasy Football Advice

We're heading into Week 5 of the XFL this weekend, and things are starting to make some sense in the league. D.C. is actually bad, St. Louis is surprisingly good, and despite winning the Twitter meme battle ahead of last week's meeting with Houston, the Dallas Renegades couldn't win the actual game, falling in the […]


XFL Week 4: What We Learned

We're four weeks into the XFL season and, for those of you in season-long XFL leagues, are halfway through the fantasy regular season. Week 4 saw the first Texas Throwdown, in which the Houston Roughnecks beat the Dallas Renegades more to 4-0, and it also saw the Tampa Bay Vipers earn their first-ever XFL victory. […]


FanDuel, DraftKings XFL DFS Lineup Picks (Week 4): Daily Fantasy Football Advice

The XFL is a hit, but there's still enough mystery going on that astute DFS players can exploit some things when building lineups. That's why we're here with our new weekly XFL daily fantasy picks for your DFS lineups. Now, there are a lot of different ways to do XFL DFS lineups, as some sites […]


XFL Week 3: What We Learned

Week 3 of XFL football is behind us, and it was a week with some strange things. The Wildcats being up 27-0 at one point against the Defenders? Tampa having a shot against Houston? The New York Guardians scoring just nine points? Wait, nevermind, that last one was something we probably all expected based on […]


XFL Week 2: What We Learned

The second week of the XFL is in the books, and it was an interesting week. On Saturday, offenses tanked, with a pair of games in which one or both teams struggled to move the ball. On Sunday, though, we saw the fireworks we were hoping for, headlined by Landry Jones becoming the league's first […]


Dynasty Price Check - Josh Allen

The NFL offseason has arrived, which means that it's time for us to go all-in on dynasty mode. The time between the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft is the time for dynasty players to make some moves and try to make their team better -- or worse, if you're rebuilding and looking for draft […]


XFL Week 1: What We Learned

The first week of XFL action is behind us and it sure was fun. The league ran a lot more smoothly than last year's attempt at a Spring league, the AAF. The league featured some good offensive play and some good innovations, like a kickoff rule that might have fixed one of football's most dangerous […]


NBA Trade Deadline - Fantasy Basketball Winners and Losers

The NBA's trade deadline has past, and the past three days of trades have been an adventure. It started with a four-teamer that sent Clint Capela to Atlanta and Robert Covington to Houston, then culminated a smattering of last hour deals, including Andre Drummond getting shipped to Cleveland. A lot happened, which is why RotoBaller […]


XFL Depth Chart Analysis

The XFL kicks off on Saturday, and on Thursday the league's depth charts dropped. Like with last year's AAF launch, these depth charts come very close to the first games, which doesn't give us a whole lot of time to get ready for the first games. While many of you have already finished, or nearly […]


Biggest Surprises of 2019: Running Back

The 2019 NFL season was an interesting year for the running back position. Christian McCaffrey was the overall RB1, but some of the other top players fell below expectations. That led to some interesting final results when the final season standings came around. And while some of those -- Dalvin Cook as the RB3, Leonard […]


Introducing the 2020 Rookie Tight End Class

Out of all the skill positions, tight end is the one where rookies have the most issue making an immediate impact. But there's still always some value at every position in every NFL Draft, and the 2020 one is no exception, even if people are very down on this year's crop of tight ends. Let's […]


The Fantasy Basketball Drop List: Week 15

It's been a long week. Kobe Bryant's passing last Sunday has cast a pall over basketball, and has made it hard to see the games as what they're meant to be: games. Instead, turning on an NBA game has been met with this huge sense of sadness and grief, and this feeling that everything is […]


Biggest Surprises of 2019: Tight End

The 2019 NFL season was anything but predictable. I mean, the Tennessee Titans made the AFC title game! Andrew Luck retired right before the season! [Insert one of many, many other things here, because all lists need three items but I couldn't decide between all the possible third options.] One position where things at the […]


Biggest Busts of 2019: Quarterback

The 2019 NFL season is over, and it's time to look back on what happened. 2019 was a year where some quarterbacks -- Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen -- leaped up to the top of the fantasy charts, while other guys faded from where they were expected to perform. Today, I want to talk about three […]


2020 Early Sleepers and Draft Targets - Wide Receiver

The 2019 fantasy football season is over, but it's never too early to get a jump start on next year, right? While the offseason in the fantasy community usually gets dynasty-heavy pretty quickly, we don't want to completely forget the redraft players out there who are already plotting a way to win in 2020. Wide […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

How'd We Miss That? Lamar Jackson's 2019 Breakout

Fantasy football analysts say a lot of things, and often those things turn out to be true. But the nature of saying a lot of things is that sometimes those things turn out to be not true, and sometimes a lot of us say the same thing that turns out to be not true. I'll […]


The Fantasy Basketball Drop List: Week 13

2020 is speeding along, as we're already halfway into the month of January. It'll be All-Star break time before you know it, with the fantasy playoffs on the horizon just after that. Time flies! Here's our weekly fantasy basketball drop list, a look at players who are can be dropped in some or all formats. […]


The Fantasy Basketball Drop List: Week 12

We missed last week, so a belated Happy New Year to our readers. Hopefully the first week and a half of 2020 has treated you and your fantasy teams well. Here's our weekly fantasy basketball drop list, a look at players who are can be dropped in some or all formats. Every Friday, we'll look […]


Darren Fells Ends Season With Another Touchdown

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells set the team record for touchdowns by a tight end during the regular season, and he added another in Sunday's playoff loss to the Chiefs. Fells finished with three catches for 22 yards and the score. Fells is a free agent this year and his 2019 performance might price […]


Kenny Stills Catches Touchdown Against Chiefs

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught three passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, continuing a trend this season where Stills only found the touchdown in games where Houston also had wide receiver Will Fuller playing. Stills will either enter 2020 as the second or […]


Will Fuller Looks Good In Return

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) returned on Sunday, catching five passes for 89 yards and using his gravity to help teammate Kenny Stills score a long first quarter touchdown. Fuller's still never been able to stay healthy for a full season, and the Texans do have an easy out if they decide to […]


DeAndre Hopkins Plays Well In Loss To Chiefs

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught nine passes for 118 yards in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He led the team with 14 targets. 2019 wasn't exactly the best year of Hopkins' career, but he's still positioned to be one of the first wide receivers taken in fantasy drafts when the 2020 […]


Duke Johnson Quiet Against Chiefs

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson had one carry for 11 yards and added five catches for 23 yards in Sunday's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson's usage down the stretch in Houston was uneven, but he's under contract next season and could see an increase in usage if the team moves on […]


Carlos Hyde Not Huge Factor In Loss

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde had his first 1000-yard season this season, but his year ended quietly in Sunday's playoff loss to the Chiefs. Hyde had 13 carries for 44 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards as the Texans fell 51-31. Hyde isn't under contract next year, so Houston could easily move […]


Deshaun Watson Throws Two Touchdowns In Playoff Loss

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 388 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's playoff loss to the Chiefs. He was 31-for-52 throwing the ball and also added 37 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. Watson had a strong 2019 campaign, though there were some times when he struggled with his consistency. He'll […]


DeAndre Hopkins Is Houston's Best Option

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was held catchless in the first half of Houston's wild-card win over the Buffalo Bills, but in the second half he added six catches for 90 yards. Expect quarterback Deshaun Watson to once again look Hopkins' way often in the team's Divisional meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs this […]


Duke Johnson's Usage Makes Him Hard To Trust

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson made some key plays in last week's playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills, but his usage remained low. Johnson had just six touches, and while he turned those into 68 yards, the fact that the Texans aren't getting him double-digit touches makes him a risky DFS option on Sunday. […]


Carlos Hyde Is Risky Play In Divisional Round

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde rushed for 100 yards the first time the Texans faced the Chiefs, but an improved run defense and Hyde struggling to create yards over the last few games have him in a tough spot this week. Hyde rushed for 48 yards last week on 16 carries while playing 58 […]


Deshaun Watson Faces Tough Chiefs Defense

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson pulled out the heroics in the wild-card round against the Bills, but in the Divisional Round he faces a tough matchup against a Chiefs Defense that's allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing passers since Week 12. If the Texans offense continues to get off to slow starts in playoff […]


Kenny Stills Records Four Receptions

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught four of his five targets in Saturday's win over the Buffalo Bills, finishing with 46 receiving yards. It was a solid game from Stills, but by now we have enough evidence to see that Stills isn't really able to replace wide receiver Will Fuller's production for the Texans, […]
