Nick Piotrowicz - RotoBaller

345 articles

Nick has been writing about sports, both professionally and for fun, since 2008. He's been published in about a dozen newspapers, SLAM, Street & Smith's, and the Sporting News, among others, and now teaches college courses. He used to play fantasy football. He still does. But he used to, too.

Articles

Browns Could Start Shedeur Sanders Again

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that the team plans to start rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders once again if neither Kenny Pickett (hamstring) or Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) is available, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Browns take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday in their next preseason game. […]


Saints Tackle Trevor Penning Dealing With Turf Toe

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Trevor Penning (toe) could be facing an extended absence, according to Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football. Underhill noted the injury generally takes between four and six weeks, which could leave the Saints with Penning for the start of the regular season. The tackle is an important piece for the […]


Kenneth Walker III Back In Full Pads

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (foot) was a participant for the team's padded practice on Tuesday, according to Emerald City Spectrum. The Michigan State product missed six games last season, but has looked strong in practice and appears ready to go for Week 1, according to the report. Seattle and its revamped offense […]


Dameon Pierce Getting First-Team Work

In one of the more interesting backfield situations in the league, Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is now seeing first-team reps, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston. The status of Joe Mixon (foot) is up in the air as the season approaches, while new addition Nick Chubb (head) has also missed time, […]


A.J. Brown Misses Practice on Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was a non-participant for the Eagles' joint practice against the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, according to Ashlyn Sullivan of NBC Sports Philadelphia. The veteran has missed some time during the past two weeks dealing with the injury, but did log a pair of limited practices this week after […]


Tyreek Hill Returns To Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique) is back for a joint practice against the Detroit Lions, according to Pride of Detroit's Jeremy Reisman. The 31-year-old is coming off an 81-catch, 959-yard season that was both still productive and a clear step back from four straight years in which he cleared 1,200 receiving yards. When […]


Kevin Austin Jr. Leads Saints In Targets

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. led the team in targets Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, hauling in four of five chances for 42 yards. The third-year pro looks to be in play for a depth receiver role on a Saints team in the midst of a quarterback battle. New Orleans is […]


Rachaad White Considered "Day-to-Day"

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that running back Rachaad White (hamstring) is "day-to-day," according to Pewter Report. The third-year back figures to be a key part of the Bucs' offense when healthy, but the club surely will be cautious with nearly a month to spare before Week 1 games. Managers should […]


Dillon Gabriel Back Practicing For Browns

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) is back at practice on Monday and could play this week, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The rookie did not play in Cleveland's first preseason game as fellow first-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders saw extended time. Gabriel, a third-round pick, figures to be part of […]


Hunter Renfrow Returns to Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hamstring) was back at practice on Monday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The oft-injured receiver is attempting a return to the NFL after missing the entire 2024 season due to ulcerative colitis, which he said caused him to drop down to as low as 150 pounds. A […]


Undrafted Rookie Myles Price Scores Touchdown for Vikings

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Myles Price found the end zone on Saturday against the Houston Texans, connecting with fellow undrafted rookie Max Brosmer for a three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Indiana product ended the day with two catches for 18 yards. Minnesota has space for an additional receiver to step into the mix, […]


Jordan Addison Efficient In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was quarterback J.J. McCarthy's top target on Saturday, as the pair connected three times for 33 yards on Minnesota's opening drive against Houston. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was held out, but Addison served as the clear preferred target on the only drive in which the Vikings' starting offense played. The […]


Zavier Scott Leads Vikings In Rushing

Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott finished with 40 yards on seven attempts to lead the team in rushing, and added one catch for 11 yards in a 20-10 victory against Houston on Saturday. The former Maine standout who went undrafted in 2023 has an uphill climb to make the 53-man roster, but certainly made […]


Sam Howell Effective In Vikings Debut

Quarterback Sam Howell played well in his Minnesota Vikings debut, completing 11 of 13 passing attempts for 105 yards and adding a rushing touchdown in a 20-10 victory against Houston. The former North Carolina star is now on his third team in three years after Minnesota traded for him during the NFL Draft, adding a […]


J.J. McCarthy Steady In Lone Drive Saturday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy finished 4-for-7 passing for 30 yards and added an eight-yard run for a first down Saturday in a 20-10 win against Houston. The second-year quarterback led the Vikings to a field goal on the opening drive before giving way to backup Sam Howell. McCarthy is now the clear top option […]


Giants To Start Russell Wilson In Preseason Opener

The New York Giants plan to start quarterback Russell Wilson in their preseason opener on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The veteran is part of a completely revamped New York quarterback room, which also includes Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart. The 36-year-old Wilson helped lead Pittsburgh to the […]


Veteran Josh Johnson Throws Touchdown In Preseason Opener

Well-traveled Washington Commanders quarterback Josh Johnson completed 15 of 22 passes for a game-high 173 yards with one touchdown and an interception on Friday against the New England Patriots. Jayden Daniels is the no-doubt starter for Washington with Marcus Mariota also in the fold as the likely backup, leaving Johnson and Sam Hartman competing for […]


Jamaal Williams Works Out For Bears

Running back Jamaal Williams completed a workout with the Chicago Bears, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 30-year-old running back is coming off a forgettable tenure with the New Orleans Saints in which he managed just 470 yards and two touchdowns in the past two seasons combined. Williams' best season came as a member […]


Titans Use Fourth-Round Pick On Gunnar Helm

The Tennessee Titans continued to add to their offense by selecting Texas tight end Gunnar Helm at pick No. 122 overall in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The big man's third year at Texas put him firmly on draft radars with a breakout season of 60 catches for 786 yards and seven […]


Giants Take CFP Darling Cam Skattebo

Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo is headed to the New York Giants with pick No. 105 in the 2025 NFL Draft. The former Sun Devil starred in his team's surprise run to the College Football Playoff, compiling an effective 1,711 yards and a whopping 21 touchdowns on the year. Skattebo projects as a power […]


Jags Bolster Backfield With Bhayshul Tuten

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Virginia Tech running back Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 104 of the 2025 NFL Draft. The former Hokie surpassed 1,100 yards rushing last season, had the fastest running back time at the NFL Combine, and worked his way into serious Day 2 consideration before ultimately being one of the first picks […]


Titans Selected Chimere Dike At No. 103

Florida wide receiver Chimere Dike is off the board to the Tennessee Titans at No. 103 in the 2025 NFL Draft, the first pick of the fourth round. The Wisconsin transfer had a so-so final college season, pulling in 42 passes for 783 yards and two touchdowns. At a flat 6-foot and 195, Dike doesn't […]


Falcons Select Jalon Walker At 15th Overall

After turning the NFL Draft upside down in 2024, there was no such drama from the Atlanta Falcons in 2025 as they took Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker at No. 15 overall. The first linebacker off the board, the former Bulldog likely ended up this high in the draft due to hybrid potential within a defense. […]


Tyler Warren Heads To Colts At No. 14

Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, who was on the short list of best players in college football last season, become the newest Indianapolis Colts player after the franchise selected him at No. 14 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Surprisingly, the former Nittany Lion was not the first tight end selected after Chicago took Michigan's […]


Dolphins Nab Michigan’s Kenneth Grant At No. 13

The Miami Dolphins opted for defense in the first round by taking Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant at No. 13 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Some NFL talent evaluators thought Grant was as good if not better than Mason Graham, who went fifth overall to Cleveland, and in the end, the pair went only […]


Cowboys Opt For O-Line, Select Tyler Booker At No. 12

In one of the few surprises of the early portion of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Alabama guard Tyler Booker at No. 12 overall. The Cowboys were widely believed to be in the market for a wide receiver to play next CeeDee Lamb, but instead chose to the take the first guard […]


49ers Use 11th Pick On Georgia’s Mykel Williams

The San Francisco 49ers wasted no time calling in the 11th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams. The former five-star recruit managed only 14 sacks in three years in Athens, but played through an ankle injury during the 2024 season. At 6-foot-5 and 265 pounds, Williams has the look […]

Fantasy Football IDP League Sleepers and Draft Targets: Early 2025 IDP Rankings

As any manager in an IDP league can tell you, adding defensive players to a fantasy draft changes the math. IDP formats not only require wider knowledge of league-wide rosters, it asks managers to create value systems like the real NFL Draft.  Managers having wildly different value systems are often part of the fun. Is […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Championship Weekend Updates For Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Zach Ertz, Dalton Kincaid

Thirty-two entered, and four currently stand. We're into the endgame for the NFL season with only three games remaining to decide the Super Bowl LIX champion. DFS managers are facing a very small range of available players, albeit with some injury reports to monitor in the cases of Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Zach Ertz, and […]


Dalton Schultz Second In Receiving In Playoff Loss

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz finished second on the team in receiving by catching all four of his targets for 63 yards in a Divisional Round defeat to Kansas City on Saturday. All told, it was the veteran tight end's second-best receiving day of the season, trailing only a 66-yard day against Detroit in […]
