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 […]


Evan Engram - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

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

How predictable has the tight end position been for fantasy this season? Last week, ahead of Monday Night Football, Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry were top 5 options. The trio of Ja'Tavion Sanders, Noah Fant, and Noah Gray finished inside the top 12. Noah Gray was the Chiefs' top fantasy option at tight end. Let […]


Jordan Love - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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

It's officially Week 8, and the hero we needed may soon be here. Before we break down this week's starts and sits at the quarterback position, we have to talk about injuries. Last week, the most significant and perhaps most ironic was the noncontact one suffered by Deshaun Watson. You know what that means? Jameis […]

Brock Bowers - Fantasy Football Rankings, TE, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

TE Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

Has there been a more disappointing position in fantasy football than we have witnessed from the tight-end position in 2024? Only five tight ends thus far are averaging 10 or more fantasy points per game heading into Week 7. It seems like every year, the tight-end position is a fantasy wasteland. This season, it seems […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

QB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

Once again, the quarterback position has kept fantasy managers on their toes. Last week, rookies Caleb Williams (29.8), Bo Nix (21.7), and Drake Maye (21.5) were among the top 10 in fantasy production at the quarterback position. Meanwhile, some previously trusted fantasy contributors, such as Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray, and Dak Prescott, let fantasy managers […]


Mike Evans - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

The fantasy football landscape this season resembles the Billboard Top 40, as the hits keep coming. Except here, when I say Top 40 songs, I think of 1996 when the "Macarena" reached number one on the charts. It stayed at the top of the charts for 14 weeks and here's hoping the hits to the […]


Tony Pollard - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

It's hard to believe that we are already entering Week 7 of the NFL calendar. Before Monday Night Football, Sean Tucker, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Tyler Allgeier were among the top 10 running backs for the week, proving that anything can truly happen on any given Sunday. In each of the past two weeks, fantasy […]

Breece Hall - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 6 (2024)

It's that time of week again when we examine the matchups at the running back position to help us set our weekly lineups.  It's hard to believe that we are entering Week 6 of the NFL season, a week in which Kyren Williams, Aaron Jones, and De'Von Achane are all on their bye weeks as […]


Terry McLaurin - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 6 (2024)

If you are like me, you are in a toxic relationship with fantasy football. This season, more than any, reminds me of that scene in Brooklyn 99 when Jake Peralta and Rosa Diaz have to prove they are dirty to Melanie Hawkins to infiltrate her gang. Adrian Pimento becomes relatable to fantasy managers as he […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - October 2024 Market Report

As we enter October, it is time again to examine which players' stock has gone up and which players' stock has lost some of its value from a dynasty perspective. In other words, it's the Dynasty Monthly Report, Trick or Trick edition. Luckily, our team of RotoBaller experts, which includes Brandon Murchison (@RotoSuperstar), Jorden Hill […]


Michael Pittman Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 5 (2024)

If you have a receiver on your fantasy football roster with two feet and a heartbeat, you can ill afford to sit them even if they have just one foot. Thanks to the early-season injuries, we were born into the bye weeks, molded by them. It feels like we’ve been preparing for them for weeks. […]


Chuba Hubbard - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 5 (2024)

Welcome back to another edition of Rotoballers' Start ‘em and Sit ‘em. Let's review some critical fantasy matchups across the league each week and break down some of my favorite starts and sits.

Zach Charbonnet - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS and Betting Picks

RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 4 (2024)

As we enter week 4 of the fantasy football season, fantasy managers everywhere are trying to determine whether their players are contenders or pretenders. One thing we have learned is that Sam Darnold is, indeed, not a pretender. Who else is emerging, and who is losing the trust of fantasy football managers? There are many […]


DJ Moore - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 4 (2024)

Week 3 of the NFL season has some explaining to do. But I need to apologize to those who started Rasheed Shaheed last week. Although he managed 105 air yards on five targets, sometimes the deep shots did not hit. We also need to acknowledge that Malik Nabers has earned must-start status every week from […]
