Patrick Mahomes Leads Chiefs To Divisional Round Win

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) wasn't at 100% for most of Saturday's playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, sitting out much of the first half. But Mahomes returned after halftime and while he was clearly hobbled, he led a second-half touchdown drive that proved to be the difference in the 27-20 victory. Mahomes […]

Chiefs Defense A Solid Option For Divisional Round

The Kansas City Chiefs defense is one of the better DFS options this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who KC held to 17 points when the two teams met in the regular season, though the Chiefs didn't manage to force any turnovers in that game. Jacksonville is led by second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who led […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Risky Fantasy Option Against Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling had a disappointing first season with the team, catching 42 passes for 687 yards and two touchdowns. His 16.4 yards per reception were his lowest since his rookie season—MVS was expected to be a deep threat for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but that never really materialized. He did have […]

Travis Kelce The Top Fantasy Tight End For Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was the top fantasy tight end during the regular season. That remains the same heading into the Divisional Round. Kelce finished the year with a career-high 110 receptions for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns, which includes a six-catch, 81-yard performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who the Chiefs face […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Risky Fantasy Option For Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has had an up-and-down season, but it ended on a low note, as he averaged 2.3 receptions for 27.7 yards and no touchdowns over the final three games of the season. His usage has been hard to predict all season, and it's made him a boom-or-bust fantasy option. […]

Jerick McKinnon Has Touchdown Upside In Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon is an appealing DFS option on Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars based on his play at the end of the regular season. McKinnon became a constant presence in the end zone, with a receiving touchdown in six consecutive games to end the year, with nine total touchdowns in […]

Isiah Pacheco An Appealing Fantasy Play In Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had one of his best games of the season the last time the Chiefs took on the Jacksonville Jaguars, carrying the ball 16 times for 82 yards, his third-best yardage total of the 2022 season. He'll get another chance against the Jags on Saturday when the two sides […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Top Play In Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be viewed as a top DFS play for Saturday's meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. When these two teams met during the regular season, Mahomes was almost unstoppable, going 26-for-25 for 331 yards and four touchdowns, plus adding 39 yards on the ground. The one big blemish that day […]

Jordan Akins Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught a pair of touchdowns—and the game-winning two-point conversion—in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. He finished the game with four catches for 70 yards and was targeted a team-high eight times. It was a strong showing for Akins, who has looked like Houston's best tight end over the […]

Brandin Cooks Has Best Game Of Season In Week 18

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks ended the season on a high note, catching six passes for a season-high 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Now, the big question with Cooks will be what's next for the veteran receiver. He's under contract with the team next year, but his […]

Davis Mills Throws Three Touchdown In Week 18

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills threw a season-high three touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts, completing 22-of-38 pass attempts for 298 yards. He was picked off twice and added six rushing yards. It was arguably the best game of Mills' season, though a pick-six does mar the stat line somewhat. Mills heads into […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13 Include Montrezl Harrell, Victor Oladipo, Dennis Schroder, Naji Marshall

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. How's this season going for you? Need some help with your team? Let's get you some! The NBA season just keeps on chugging alone, and so does the fantasy basketball season. If you need to bolster your roster or turn around a […]

Jerick McKinnon Extends Touchdown Streak To Six Games

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon didn't produce a lot of yards in Saturday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, finishing with two carries for six yards and two catches for zero yards. But McKinnon did find the end zone on one of those receptions, which marks the sixth game in a row that […]

Travis Kelce Quiet In Season Finale

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce didn't post big numbers in Saturday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching six passes for 38 yards and failing to find the end zone. Curiously, both games this season that saw Kelce finish with under 40 receiving yards came against the Raiders, though in the first meeting, […]

Isiah Pacheco Finds End Zone In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco scored a touchdown for the second week in a row in Saturday's 31-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He finished the game with eight carries for 64 yards, surprisingly losing some touches to Ronald Jones II. Overall, Pacheco ran the ball 170 times for 830 yards and […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Touchdown In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 18-for-26 in Saturday's season-ending win over the Las Vegas Raiders, throwing for 202 yards and a touchdown. He also added 29 rushing yards. This concludes a strong campaign from Mahomes, who is one of the favorites to win MVP. He ends the regular season with a career-high 5,250 […]

Royce Freeman A Risky Play In Week 18

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman has seen an unlikely increase in his role over the last few weeks, making his season debut in Week 15, when he had 11 carries for the Texans. The veteran back should get a handful of touches in Week 18 against the Colts, but after averaging under three yards […]

Brandin Cooks Has Little Appeal In Week 18

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has had an inconsistent 2022-23 season, and he hasn't had more than five receptions since way back in Week 4. While he's the most talented receiver on this Texans team, his upside has been capped by the poor play of this offense as a whole. With fantasy championships on […]

Davis Mills A Risky Option In Week 18

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills remains a risky fantasy option heading into the team's season finale against the Indianapolis Colts. Last week, Mills threw for 202 yards in a 31-3 loss to Jacksonville, his most passing yards since Week 10. Since Week 4, Mills has just three games where he's thrown for over 200 yards, […]

Harrison Butker Is A Top Kicker Option In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has the lowest field goal percentage of his career this season, connecting on just 73.9% of his attempts, and he's missed field goal attempts in two of the last three games. Despite that, he's always near the top of the fantasy rankings, because KC's high-powered offense puts Butker in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Enters Week 18 On Downward Slope

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has struggled over the past two games, catching just five total passes over that span. After Smith-Schuster was targeted 21 times in Week 14 and 15, he has just seven targets over the past two games as quarterback Patrick Mahomes has spread the ball around. Smith-Schuster had just […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Fantasy Tight End Play In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been the best player at his position in fantasy football this season. If you're still playing season-long fantasy in Week 18, Kelce should be where he's always been: locked into your lineup. The veteran tight end has already caught a career-high 12 touchdowns this season, with four […]

Jerick McKinnon Looks To Continue Touchdown Streak

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon has emerged as one of the league's best receiving backs over the last month or so, catching touchdown passes in five consecutive games. Over that span, McKinnon has been targeted 28 times, catching 25 of those for 274 yards and seven touchdowns. He's also added one score on […]

Isiah Pacheco Is Touchdown-Dependent In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has had a solid rookie season, but his lack of upside in the passing game has rendered him a touchdown-dependent RB3 option when it comes to fantasy. Last week, Pacheco managed to find the end zone, but he also saw his fewest carries since Week 9, as he […]

Patrick Mahomes Looks To End Season Strong

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take the field in Las Vegas on Saturday with a chance to lock up the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, taking on a Raiders team that he threw four touchdowns against earlier this season. In nine career games against the Raiders, Mahomes is averaging 315 passing […]

Parris Campbell (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Parris Campbell's 52 yards were his most since Week 11. I don't think he's really a great play, but he probably has some guaranteed volume, which is rare for players who are still on the waiver wire at this point. If I'm […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jags are in a must-win situation in Week 18: beat the Titans, and Trevor Lawrence and company are heading to the postseason. Marvin Jones Jr. was targeted seven times in Sunday's win over Houston, catching six of those for 61 yards. […]

Greg Dortch (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals—who have reached the "starting David Blough" part of this lost season—have crashed. But Greg Dortch, a waiver-wire hero over the first three weeks of this season who then subsequently saw his role basically vanish, has done some interesting things late […]

Kadarius Toney (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kadarius Toney led the Chiefs in receiving yards on Sunday, catching four passes for 71 yards. Kansas City will be playing for the No. 1 seed in the AFC next week, and while Toney's risky based on his numbers so far this […]
