RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12 (2024)

It's officially Byemageddon. Fantasy managers will need to dig deep this week as Bijan Robinson, James Cook, Chase Brown, Travis Etienne Jr., Alvin Kamara, and Breece Hall are all forced to sit out.

Ladd McConkey - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookies, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12 (2024)

It's bad enough that the wide receiver position has shoved fantasy managers into a glass case of emotion all season long. Now, we have to deal with six teams on a bye while waiting for healthy receivers to return to our lineups.  Listen to the names, the healthy names, that fantasy managers will need to […]


Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12 (2024)

If you tuned in last week, there is a good chance you had some success in the tight end position. Last week, we mentioned Taysom Hill, Jonnu Smith, Will Dissly, Dawson Knox, and even Brock Wright as options for fantasy managers. You must feel good if you started any of those tight ends over Travis […]


Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quarterback (QB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12 (2024)

Week 11, like every week before, proved to be unpredictable for fantasy quarterbacks. In the top 10 last week, we saw Jared Goff put up over 40 fantasy points, Bo Nix and Matthew Stafford top 35 fantasy points each, and Anthony Richardson, Jameis Winston, Tua Tagovailoa, and Sam Darnold exceed expectations and top 25 fantasy points. […]

George Pickens - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

If you thought the tight end position was hard to predict, did you have a chance to look at the Week 10 fantasy leaders at the wide receiver position? Ahead of Monday Night Football, the likes of John Metchie, Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, Rashod Bateman, Alec Pierce, Tylan Wallace, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling were among the […]


Justin Herbert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

QB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

What has been an unpredictable season continues. Once again, in Week 10, Bo Nix, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson, and yes, Will Levis all finished with 20 or more fantasy points and are among the leaders at the quarterback position. This week, fantasy managers will be without Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Baker Mayfield, and Bryce Young […]


Jonathan Taylor - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

As the weather begins to change, the importance of running backs on your fantasy roster becomes clearer. In Week 10, 20 running backs posted double-digit fantasy production. Considering we had four teams on bye last week, it's even more impressive. Once again, as we enter Week 11, fantasy managers face replacing some productive backs as […]


Jake Ferguson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL News

TE Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

If a tight end can manage 10 fantasy points, there is a good chance they will put up top-12 production. Before the Monday night game was played, only 10 tight ends registered double-digit fantasy production. We all expected Mike Gesicki to have a big week. However, his nine targets did not equate to fantasy relevance. […]

Brian Thomas Jr - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - November 2024 Market Report

It's hard to believe that we are already entering the back half of the 2024 NFL season. NFL teams reevaluated their rosters after the trade deadline, and as the calendar flipped, we as dynasty managers must do the same. Each month, our team of RotoBaller experts, which includes Brandon Murchison (@RotoSuperstar), Jorden Hill (@JordenHill95), Matt […]


D'Andre Swift - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injuries

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 10 (2024)

So far this season has been the return of the running back in fantasy football. With that, we are sending Tyrone Tracy Jr., Chuba Hubbard, and Jonathon Brooks to Germany to give our German friends something worth watching if we are going to force them to watch the Giants, Panthers, and Machine Gun Kelly. With […]


Nico Collins - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 10 (2024)

One of my favourite filmmakers of all time is the great Mel Brooks. His films have been a staple in my life. You’ll never see him win an Oscar, but his films are usually a result of a comedy of errors that you simply can’t help but laugh at. His next film should be titled […]


T.J. Hockenson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

TE Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 10 (2024)

There were a couple of prolific tight ends last week, as Mike Gesicki had a pair of touchdowns, 100 yards receiving, and 27 fantasy points. Taysom Hill, Theo Johnson, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Nick Vannett, and Drew Sample also recorded double-digit fantasy production in Week 9. Even Chris Manhertz and Quintin Morris ended up with touchdown grabs. We […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

QB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 10 (2024)

In Week 9, the big dogs were barking once more. Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen all finished the week inside the top 7 for fantasy, and the world is beginning to heal itself once more.  On the season, Geno Smith and Bo Nix still rank inside the top 10 so there's still some healing needed, […]

Tucker Kraft - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

TE Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 9 (2024)

National Tight Ends Day has come and gone; with it, there is some hope for the tight end position moving forward. In Week 9, Cade Otton, Kyle Pitts, Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Trey McBride all registered more than 20 fantasy points. Another four tight ends finished Sunday with more than 16 fantasy points. More […]


Joe Mixon - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 9 (2024)

Last Sunday, before any games were played, I stubbed my toe. It was one of those Fix Auto-type moments in which I had to control my pain to not wake my wife. This is also how I felt promoting Javonte Williams. The only difference is that I'll forget that I stubbed my toe in a […]


DeVonta Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 9 (2024)

I don't even know what to say anymore. Those zero RB truthers must not be sleeping well these nights, as the wide receiver position continues to produce injury after injury, week in and week out, to top fantasy assets. In Week 8, Stefon Diggs suffered a non-contact knee injury, and Jaguars receiver Christian Kirk's season […]


Bo Nix - Fantasy Football Rankings, QB, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

QB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 9 (2024)

We are entering the midpoint of the 2024 season. In Week 8, we saw the return of Jameis Winston, who threw for 300 yards and a trio of touchdowns in his first start since 2022. Fun fact: Winston and Joe Flacco have thrown for 300 yards in six of their seven starts for the Browns, […]

Javonte Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS and Betting Picks

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 8 (2024)

In Week 7, we had a couple of close calls at the running back position when it came to injuries, such as Tony Pollard (head/neck) and David Montgomery (knee). I'll discuss both running backs a little later as I foreshadow their inclusions in this week's starts and sits. Which backs can you trust, and which […]


Cooper Kupp - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 8 (2024)

Halloween is just around the corner, but the sheer horror of overcoming the wide receiver position due to injuries makes fantasy managers scared. It's becoming a fantasy Frankenstein to put out a weekly lineup. Just as we expect Cooper Kupp to return this week, we lost Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Deebo Samuel Sr., DK Metcalf, and […]
