DeAndre Hopkins Questionable To Return Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. The star wideout has one catch for 55 yards in the game so far. If he's unable to return, expect to see more of Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, and Christian Kirk, though none have the upside […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

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 8. Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues, […]

Patrick Mahomes Helped Off The Field

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (head) took a hard hit to the head/neck area late in Sunday's game against the Titans and had to be helped off of the field. Mahomes was later seen walking around on the sidelines, so the injury might not be as bad as it looks, but Chad Henne will likely […]

Sam Darnold Benched In Week 7

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has been benched in the second half of the team's Week 7 contest against the Giants. He was 16-for-25 for 111 yards and an interception. At one point this year, Darnold led the NFL in rushing touchdowns, but his early success has vanished, as he's thrown seven picks in the […]

Peyton Barber A Healthy Scratch Again

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber is a healthy scratch once again, making this the third week in a row that Barber won't be in the lineup. He's clearly only on this roster to be an emergency play if either Josh Jacobs or Kenyan Drake are injured. The Raiders will also be without tight […]

O.J. Howard Will Play In Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. With Rob Gronkowski (lung/ribs) out, Howard should see an uptick in usage this week. He's coming off a strong showing, with six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers looking for a late window […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

The NBA is back, y'all! Hopefully the first week of fantasy basketball treated you well. If it didn't — well, we're here for you. These recommendations are for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, […]

Nico Collins, Chris Conley Will Play

Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (foot) and Chris Conley (neck) will both play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Collins should play more snaps than Conley and could be viewed as a desperation play in deep leagues since he'll likely see around five targets, while Conley should be completely off of the fantasy radar […]

Zach Wilson Officially Ruled Out

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots. The No. 2 overall pick was 6-for-10 for 51 yards, but exited in the first half after being hit on back-to-back plays. Mike White will quarterback the Jets for the rest of Sunday's game and possibly for longer, something […]

D'Andre Swift, T.J. Hockenson Active

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) are both active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Both players were limited in practice this week, but will suit up against a tough Rams defense. Swift is a high-end RB2 play while Hockenson is always a TE1 play at […]

Sony Michel Active For Week 7

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel (shoulder) is active for the team's Week 7 contest against the Detroit Lions. Michel has been a clear-cut backup to Darrell Henderson Jr. this season and isn't getting a ton of work, but fantasy managers who are dealing with bye week issues could put Michel in as a […]

Darren Waller Inactive For Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (ankle) showed up on Saturday's injury report. Now, he's officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles. In what's already a terrible week for fantasy managers with injuries and bye weeks, Waller being a game-time scratch is an issue. If you were counting on Waller, there's not a […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
