Construction Manager by day living in Seattle, Washington. Big Seahawks and Mariners fan. I am married to my best friend and have two wonderful daughters & two goofy golden retrievers. I love everything football & focus on data/analytics-driven analysis of the NFL and fantasy football. My goal in this industry is to help others win fantasy football games and provide interesting and actionable analysis. I love doing research and compiling data.

Chiefs Defense - Fantasy Football D/ST Streamers, Team Defense Rankings, IDP Waiver Wire

D/ST Strength of Schedule: Best Fantasy Football Defense Streamers and Matchups (Weeks 16-17)

It's officially fantasy football crunch time as we wrap up the fantasy regular season over the next two weeks. Those fortunate enough to make the playoffs must continue to grind out decisions, especially when it comes to team defenses. In the article below, I will present the strength of schedule (SOS) for the fantasy Defense/Special […]


Houston Texans Defense D/ST Streamers, Rankings, Waiver Wire - Derek Stingley Fantasy Football IDP

D/ST Strength of Schedule: Best Fantasy Football Defense Streamers and Matchups (Weeks 11-17)

Ahh, the good old Defense/Special Teams (DST) position in fantasy football. It is a controversial inclusion in fantasy lineups for some fantasy players, but strategizing around DSTs is one of my favorite aspects of the in-season fantasy football experience. In the article below, I will present the strength of schedule (SOS) for the fantasy Defense/Special […]


Jalen Hurts - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Sleepers

QB Strength of Schedule Analysis - Fantasy Football Quarterback Matchups (2024)

Welcome to the third installment of my 2024 mid-season fantasy strength of schedule article series. I have covered the running back and wide receiver positions over the last few weeks, and this week we turn our focus to the quarterbacks, starting with a focus on the immediate future (Weeks 8-11). Whether you play the streaming […]


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

RB Strength of Schedule Analysis - Fantasy Football Running Back Matchups (2024)

Last week, I dove deep into the WR strength of schedule for fantasy football and the wide receiver position. This week, I’ll go through the same process with fantasy RBs. The fantasy RB position has been volatile (to say the least) so far in 2024, with some big names going down with injuries, some big […]


CeeDee Lamb - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Targets, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule Analysis - Wide Receivers (2024)

As a data-driven analyst, this is one of my favorite times of the season. With five weeks in the books, we are now moving into an amount of data that becomes more indicative of what has happened and potentially what is yet to come the rest of the way. This includes fantasy strength of schedule, […]


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

Best Early-Season WR Matchups - Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule Analysis

Draft season for redraft fantasy football leagues is here. Team pecking orders are coming into clearer view. Mostly ignoring the results, we have seen which players are out there with the first-team offense, which WRs are staying on the field consistently in two-WR sets, and which WRs are getting more time in the slot. With […]


Best Early-Season D/ST Matchups - Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule Analysis

The NFL regular season is so close now we can smell it. We can taste it. We excitedly look at the rosters we may have already drafted, and impatiently await our last few drafts. We are on the precipice of the annual transition from draft season to the actual fantasy football season, with Week 1 […]


Pat Freiermuth - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Best Early-Season TE Matchups - Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule Analysis

The fantasy TE position can be a tough nut to crack once you miss out on the elite options. We need all the help we can get when choosing the best action plan for our middle and later-round TEs. We may be witnessing a changing of the guard with a highly talented young crop of […]


Jahmyr Gibbs - Fantasy Football, Rankings, Draft, Sleeper, DFS, Running Back

Best Early-Season RB Matchups - Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule Analysis

Draft season for redraft fantasy football leagues is rapidly approaching. The preseason is upon us and we will all excitedly watch live football again for the first time in months, inevitably over and underreacting to preseason and training camp results, and cross our fingers that preseason injuries will be at a minimum. Many in the […]


Free Agency Check - Quarterback ADP Risers and Fallers

Best Early-Season QB Matchups - Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule Analysis

The NFL preseason is in full swing, and we are getting our first glimpses of how teams are looking and which players outside of the obvious starters are seeing the most important playing time (and not necessarily the most playing time). We operate with limited information and smaller sample sizes during the preseason, and it […]


Dallas Cowboys Defense D/ST Streamers, Rankings, Waiver Wire - Micah Parsons Fantasy Football IDP

Week 18 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Most fantasy football championship games have been played, but not all of them. And while I prefer leagues that don’t include the final week, I pass no judgment on anyone who chooses to. It is another week of fantasy football after all. My main home league played into the final week until about five years […]


Raiders Defense - Fantasy Football DST, Maxx Crosby IDP, Defense Rankings

Week 17 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

And just like that, we have arrived at championship week for the majority of fantasy football leagues. Week 17 of the 2023 NFL season is upon us, and I for one want to forget that Week 16 ever happened (from a fantasy defense perspective). No sugar-coating is necessary. It was a bad week for fantasy […]


Buffalo Bills Defense - Fantasy Football DST Rankings, Draft Sleepers

Week 16 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The end is in sight as we now move on to Week 16 and the fantasy playoff semi-finals in most leagues. The pressure is on in these “lose and go home” games, being so close to the championship game that you can almost taste it. With only two weeks left in the fantasy football season, […]


Indianapolis Colts Defense - DST Rankings, Julian Blackmon, IDP Fantasy Football

Week 15 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Last week is now in the books and the fantasy football regular season is now over for the majority of leagues. We move headlong into the fantasy playoffs. No more byes and plenty of QB injuries that have reshaped the DST landscape. Those fortunate enough to earn a first-round bye in their league may not […]


Rhamondre Stevenson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Week 13 Fantasy Football Matchups We Love: The Fantasy Matchmaker

Welcome back to the Week 13 Fantasy Matchmaker article looking at Week 12 matchups we love! This is my weekly series for RotoBaller where I look at the matchup strength for pretty much every viable fantasy football player across the fantasy skill positions. With only two weeks left in the fantasy football regular season, each […]


Jaguars Defense - Fantasy Football DST, Defense Streamers, Waiver Wire IDP

Week 13 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 12 is now in the books leaving the majority of fantasy leagues with only two regular-season games remaining. We also move on from another plentiful week with no byes directly into a week with six teams on bye. Playoff spots in many leagues will be decided this week, as well as playoff seeding and […]


Josh Downs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Welcome back to the Week 12 Fantasy Matchmaker article looking at Week 12 matchups we love!

Chris Jones Kansas City Chiefs Defense - Fantasy Football DST, Defense Streamers, Waiver Wire IDP

Week 12 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 11 just wrapped up with a close, relatively low-scoring Super Bowl LVII rematch between the Eagles and Chiefs on Monday Night Football, with the Eagles sending a stadium full of Chiefs fans home disappointed. This means it’s already Week 12 and the fantasy decisions we are faced with can be the difference between making […]


Dolphins Defense D/ST Streamers, Rankings, Waiver Wire - Bradley Chubb Fantasy Football IDP

Week 11 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 10 just wrapped up with the Broncos stunning the Bills in Buffalo on Monday Night Football. And it’s on to Week 11 and the fantasy decisions we are faced with can be the difference between making your playoffs or not this late in the season. We have four bye teams again this week with […]

Ravens Defense - Fantasy Football DST Rankings, Draft Sleepers, IDP Targets

Week 10 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Last week is in the books as the Chargers finished off the Jets on Monday Night Football as I was finishing off this article. We now enter the double-digit weeks when the fantasy decisions we make get more and more crucial with only five weeks left in the fantasy regular season. We have four bye […]

This is my weekly series for RotoBaller where I look at the matchup strength for pretty much every viable fantasy football player across the fantasy skill positions.

Jessie Bates Atlanta Falcons Defense - Fantasy Football DST, Defense Streamers, Waiver Wire IDP

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 is now complete so we are officially past the fantasy season’s halfway point. With 17 weeks instead of the 16 we had for decades, that halfway point is not as clear as it used to be. I’m going with somewhere around 6:00 PM EST on Sunday. Regardless, another week is here and it’s […]

Dolphins Defense D/ST Streamers, Rankings, Waiver Wire - Bradley Chubb Fantasy Football IDP

Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers, Starters And Rankings: 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

With seven weeks of the NFL season in the books, it is now time to focus our attention on Week 8 and determine what fantasy defenses are best to play this week. We go from six teams on bye in Week 7 to the rare mid-season week with no byes, so there are plenty of […]

In this series, I am looking at fantasy football matchups as each week of the 2023 NFL season approaches and giving you some players whose matchups I love based on their opponent’s strength (or weakness) versus that position.

MIles Garrett - Fantasy Football Defense Rankings, D/ST Streamers, Waiver Wire, IDP Pickups

Week 7 Defense (DEF) Streamers, Starters And Rankings: 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

With six weeks of the NFL season in the books, it is now time to focus our attention on Week 7 and determine what fantasy football defenses are best to play this week. Last week saw three defenses reach double-digit fantasy points that had not done so yet this season. We also saw multiple disappointing […]


Jessie Bates Atlanta Falcons Defense - Fantasy Football DST, Defense Streamers, Waiver Wire IDP

Top Fantasy Football D/ST Rankings (Weeks 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) - Defense Streamers and Starts

Welcome to the first installment of the Defense Edition of my Fantasy Matchmaker article series. In today’s fantasy football, the Defense/Special Teams (DST) starting roster spot is slowly becoming less common. Some prefer to replace that spot with another WR or flex. Half the leagues I am in do not have a DST.  Some see […]
