Chiefs Defense Has Upside In Week 14

The Kansas City Chiefs defense disappointed last week against the Bengals, but they should be back in play for fantasy managers this week against the Denver Broncos. Denver has the NFL's worst scoring offense this season, averaging just 13.8 points per game. The team's actually done a solid job avoiding turnovers though, with the league's […]

Travis Kelce Looks To Bounce Back Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is coming off of his worst fantasy showing of the season last week against the Bengals, catching four passes for 56 yards. He was targeted a season-low six times. Still, Kelce's "worst" game is better than what most tight ends do on a weekly basis, and he's had […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Risky Week 14 Option

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was the team's clear No. 1 receiver as recently as early November, but he's now failed to go over 40 yards in three consecutive games. Last week, he was targeted four times, catching three passes for just 35 yards. Obviously, any receiver in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense could […]

Isiah Pacheco Should See Plenty Of Work In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has seen double-digit carries in four consecutive games, and there's no reason to think that should change on Sunday against the Broncos, as he's seeing the majority of the team's work on the ground despite only playing over 50% of the team's snaps twice this season. The Broncos […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains Top Fantasy Play In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a tougher matchup than usual this week against the Denver Broncos, who allow the third-fewest passing yards per game. But that doesn't mean fantasy managers should deviate at all from their usual path when it comes to Mahomes, which means that he should be deployed as a high-end […]

Texans Defense A Risky Week 14 Option

The Houston Texans defense shouldn't be on your fantasy radar heading into Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, though with six teams on a bye, some managers might be forced to at least consider them. If you find yourself in that position, just remember that the Cowboys rank third in the NFL in scoring offense and […]

Brevin Jordan Has Some Appeal In Week 14

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan is coming off his best game of the season, catching four passes for 46 yards last week against the Browns. This week, he faces a tough Dallas Cowboys defense, but he has appeal in deep leagues because Houston won't have wide receivers Brandin Cooks (calf) and Nico Collins (foot), […]

Chris Moore An Intriguing Dart Throw Against Dallas

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore could be worth playing in fantasy football in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys, especially for fantasy managers who are being hit hard by the bye week. Brandin Cooks (calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, and Nico Collins (foot) looks like he could be […]

Dameon Pierce Has Upside Against Cowboys

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce shook off a few tough weeks in last week's loss to Cleveland, running for 73 yards and also adding 22 receiving yards. It was his most all-purpose yards since Week 10. Now, he gets an enticing matchup on Sunday against a Dallas Cowboys team that ranks 24th in the […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14: Top Free Agent Adds Include Jahan Dotson, Corey Davis, Nico Collins, D.J. Chark

You came here for receivers, so let's get you some receivers. Below, you'll find some wide receivers that you should be targeting on the fantasy football waiver wire ahead of Week 14. Not all of these waiver wire options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues, so it’s not […]

Jerick McKinnon Catches Touchdown Against Cincinnati

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon caught two passes for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. On the ground, he had eight carries for 51 yards. It was a good performance from McKinnon, but it was also his best game of the season and comes after a week where […]

Travis Kelce Quiet Against Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught four passes for 56 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was targeted six times, his lowest mark of the season. This was just the third time this year that Kelce finished a game without either a touchdown or 100-plus yards. Still, when his lowest […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Leads Team In Yards In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling tied the team lead in targets in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked his way six times. He only caught two of those passes, but he made both count, as he finished with 71 yards, though MVS also dropped a pass in the end […]

Isiah Pacheco Scores Touchdown Against Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco carried the ball 14 times for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. This now makes four games in a row with double-digit carries for Pacheco, as well as two weeks in a row with […]

Patrick Mahomes Relatively Quiet Against Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted one of his worst passing lines of the season in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, completing a season-low 16 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown. The yardage total was also his lowest of the year. Mahomes added nine yards and a touchdown on the ground though, which […]

Nico Collins Catches Late Touchdown Against Browns

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns but managed just three receptions for the day. Luckily for his fantasy managers, one of those was a six-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, which salvaged an otherwise disappointing day for Collins. With Brandin Cooks (calf) sidelined, […]

Dameon Pierce Gets Back On Track

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce hit a rough patch over the last two games, finishing with exactly eight rushing yards in both contests. But he was able to find a little more running space against the Browns on Sunday, carrying the ball 18 times for 73 yards while also adding three catches for […]

Kyle Allen Picked Off Twice In Loss To Browns

Houston Texans quarterback Kyle Allen was 20-for-39 for 201 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was picked off twice, including on his first pass attempt of the game, and he managed to salvage his day just a bit with a garbage-time touchdown to Nico Collins. Through two starts, Allen hasn't really shown […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8 Include Tim Hardaway Jr., Joe Harris, Kevin Love, Jaylen Nowell

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! It's hard to believe we're already as far into the NBA season as we are. These two months have flown by, and this season almost still […]

Travis Kelce An Elite Fantasy Option For Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce remains the top tight end in fantasy heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. In half-PPR scoring, Kelce is averaging 18.4 points per game, while the No. 2 player in scoring at tight end is averaging 11.9 points. Kelce's a huge positional advantage and should be played […]

Isiah Pacheco Has RB2 Appeal In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has locked himself in as the team's No. 1 running back, with the rookie toting the ball 22 times last week against the Rams. That makes three games in a row with double-digit carries, and at least 80 all-purpose yards. It's been difficult to trust any Chiefs running […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains Top Fantasy Play In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes currently leads all NFL quarterbacks in fantasy points per game, and he's thrown for at least 300 yards in six consecutive games. The Chiefs don't really have much of a running game, leading to a heavy reliance on their quarterback, which Mahomes has usually been up to this season, […]

Texans Defense Is Risky Week 13 Play

The Houston Texans defense is in an interesting position heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns. Their opponent will be starting a new quarterback who hasn't played since the 2020 season, but that quarterback is Deshaun Watson, who could make Cleveland's offense elite. If you're desperate at D/ST, the Texans could have some upside […]

Chris Moore Has Deep League Appeal On Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore should see increased snaps on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns with fellow wideout Brandin Cooks (calf) ruled out. The Texans passing attack is too inconsistent for Moore to be trusted in shallow leagues, but in a 14-team league or a 12-team league with extra flex spots, he's an interesting […]

Dameon Pierce Enters Week 13 On Downward Trajectory

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce had been a model of consistency for most of his rookie season, but he's hit a wall over the last two games, finishing with exactly eight rushing yards in both of the last two games. He also had single-digit receiving yards in both games. This week, he races a […]

Nico Collins Has Upside In Week 13

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has fantasy appeal heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns. Brandin Cooks (calf) won't be on the field, which should enable Collins to dominate the target share in an offense that doesn't have many weapons aside from him and the injured Cooks. Collins has played just one game […]

Kyle Allen A Risky Option For Week 13

Houston Texans quarterback Kyle Allen made his first start for the team last week against Miami, throwing a pair of interceptions in the team's loss. He threw for 215 yards, with most of that coming in the second half with the game out of reach. There's not much fantasy upside for Allen heading into Sunday's […]

Brandin Cooks Won't Play Against Browns

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns. With Cooks out, expect to see quarterback Kyle Allen pepper receiver Nico Collins with targets, while Chris Moore could see an uptick in usage and has appeal in DFS contests. As for Cooks, he's barely been startable […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13: Top Free Agent Adds Include Zay Jones, Treylon Burks, Jameson Williams

Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? Can you believe that a record number of people took the time to watch the Giants and Cowboys play on Thursday—imagine looking back one day and saying that Daniel Jones played QB in the most-watched regular season game ever. Anyway, you came here for receivers, so let's get you […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Quiet Against Rams

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was targeted just three times in Sunday's win over the Rams, catching all three passes for 38 yards. Smith-Schuster—who was returning from a concussion—made the best of his opportunities, but with Patrick Mahomes targeting 10 different players, there just weren't a lot of chances to go around. Smith-Schuster's […]
