Jonnu Smith Questionable To Return In Week 7

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Smith has two catches for 52 yards in the game, plus a five-yard carry. If he's unable to return, Hunter Henry would see an expanded role. Henry has been fairly inconsistent this season due to... Read More

Zach Wilson Goes To Locker Room

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has gone to the locker room with a knee injury, with Mike White replacing him. Wilson is officially listed as questionable and was seen walking with "a clear hitch in his step," according to Mike Giardi of the NFL Network. Wilson is 6-for-10 for 51 yards in the game....

Chiefs Defense Gets Chris Jones Back

The Kansas City Chiefs defense will get defensive end Chris Jones (wrist) back for Sunday's game against the Titans after Jones had missed the last two games. But while the return of Jones is a boon for the real-life Chiefs and should help slow things down at the point of attack, but the KC run... Read More

Brandon Bolden, Nick Folk Active

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden (thigh) and kicker Nick Folk (knee) are both active for Sunday's contest against the Jets. With Rhamondre Stevenson being a healthy scratch, Bolden should have some role on Sunday, but not enough for fantasy managers to use him in any lineups. Folk has been a solid kicker this... Read More

Preston Williams Active For Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (groin) will play in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) out, Williams should serve as the No. 2 wideout for Tua Tagovailoa in what should be a good matchup for the Dolphins passing attack. The last time he played without Parker was in Week 5,... Read More

Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce Officially Active

As expected, the Kansas City Chiefs will have wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quad) and tight end Travis Kelce (neck) for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. With the Titans missing multiple pieces in the secondary, this should be a strong game for the Chiefs passing attack. Even with the injury concerns, fantasy managers should fire... Read More

Rhamondre Stevenson A Healthy Scratch For Week 7

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch again in Week 7, returning to the inactive list after playing for the past two weeks. Considering Stevenson had eight touches, a touchdown, and a 33 percent snap rate last week, him returning to Bill Belichick's doghouse is a bit of a surprise. Damien... Read More

DeVante Parker Inactive For Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Atlanta Falcons. He last played in Week 4 against the Colts. With Parker out, look for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to focus on wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and tight end Mike Gesicki against a weak Falcons secondary. Gesicki had 115 yards last... Read More

Tevin Coleman Inactive For Week 7

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New England Patriots. He's joined on the inactive list by tight end Tyler Kroft and wide receiver Jeff Smith. With Coleman out, there should be a few more snaps available for Michael Carter, but Coleman only played five... Read More

Trade For These Rookies Before They Break Out

Sometimes, rookies come out of the gate with a bang, putting up big numbers like Ja'Marr Chase is doing in Cincy. Other times, they take some time to get going. That's where a good fantasy football manager can pounce, taking advantage of managers who are ready to give up on slow-developing rookies. That's our goal... Read More

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Another week of NFL action is behind us. Are there any players left on the waiver wire wasteland? Let's find out. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 7. Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues,... Read More

Henry Ruggs III (WR, LV) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looked like Ruggs was poised for a bigger game than he had, as he had three catches for 97 yards and a touchdown. But hey, Ruggs is a big-play receiver, and he made big plays in this game. Volume is going... Read More

Jaylen Waddle (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Waddle had his breakout. With Tua Tagovailoa back under center, the rookie wideout was targeted 13 times, catching 10 passes for 70 yards and a pair of scores. Both touchdowns came in the red zone too, which is some encouraging usage. He's got a chance... Read More

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

The NBA season starts on Tuesday, y'all, and we're back here at RotoBaller with some waiver wire add -- or, I guess, some last-minute targets before the season starts, since you probably aren't technically doing waivers yet. These recommendations are for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that... Read More

Titans Add A.J. Brown To Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (illness) has been added to the injury report for Monday night's game against the Bills and is questionable. This news dropping after the early slate of Sunday games had already started is potential bad news for fantasy managers, who might just need to wait things out and hope Brown... Read More

Chase Edmonds Active For Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. This is the same injury he was dealing with last week, when he had three catches and six carries. James Conner will likely see more usage than Edmonds again, making Edmonds a flex play at best based on his limited expected... Read More

Ezekiel Elliott Will Play In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (ribs) is active for Sunday's meeting with New England. While Tony Pollard could see a little extra work to keep Elliott fresh, fantasy managers have to deploy Elliott as an RB1 this week, though they might want to look for a different option in DFS contests, just in case.... Read More

Kareem Hunt Active For Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (knee, wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, though he'll be playing without both of the team's starting tackles. With Nick Chubb (calf) out, Hunt should see plenty of early down work, but his injury status means that D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton should mix in... Read More

Latavius Murray Questionable To Return Against Chargers

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had nine carries for 44 yards and a touchdown on a day where Ravens running backs Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell also have rushing scores. With a big lead, don't be surprised to not see... Read More

Jody Fortson Carted Off With Achilles Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Jody Fortson was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Washington Football Team and has been ruled out with an Achilles injury. Fortson being downgraded to out that quickly seems like a bad sign for his ability to get back on the field this season — a torn... Read More

Peyton Barber A Healthy Scratch

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Broncos. The veteran back had 23 carries for 111 yards and a touchdown in Week 3, but he has just one touch since. With Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake healthy, Barber is nothing more than an emergency option for... Read More

Damien Harris Active For Week 6

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Cowboys, while running back J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch. Not activating Taylor suggests that the team feels good about Harris handling his usual workload, but with Brandon Bolden seeing the passing-game usage and Rhamondre Stevenson getting mixed in as... Read More

Melvin Gordon III Active For Week 6

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) is active for the team's Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Gordon has been playing through injury, which has allowed rookie Javonte Williams to absorb a lot of Gordon's touches over the past couple of games. Gordon had 18 carries in Week 3, but had... Read More

C.J. Board Carted Off The Field In Week 6

New York Giants wide receiver C.J. Board was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Rams with an air cast on his left arm/wrist. It's safe to assume that Board, who didn't have a reception on Sunday, won't return, leaving an already-injured Giants receiving unit even weaker. Expect to see Dante Pettis and... Read More

Jake Funk Ruled Out

Los Angeles Rams running back Jake Funk (hamstring) has been ruled out of the rest of the team's Week 6 game against the New York Giants. Funk didn't record an offensive stat in the game, making it the third week in a row that Funk hasn't had a carry. His only offensive touch of the... Read More

Browns Without Both Offensive Tackles In Week 6

The Cleveland Browns will be down both offensive tackles in Week 6 against the Cardinals, as Jedrick Wills (ankle) and Jack Conklin (knee) won't play. They join running back Nick Chubb (calf) as players out for this Browns offense. Not having both tackles will make it tough for running back Kareem Hunt to find open... Read More

Parris Campbell Ruled Out In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans. Campbell had one catch in Sunday's game — a 51-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Carson Wentz. The Colts just got T.Y. Hilton back from a neck injury, so the team is in a better position...
