Nick Piotrowicz - RotoBaller

327 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.

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 […]


Patrick Mahomes - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

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 […]


Nico Collins Compiles Decent Day In Defeat

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins finished his team's Divisional Round playoff defeat at Kansas City with five catches on eight targets for 81 yards, a decent day considering Houston's considerable challenges in the passing game. The Texans surrendered eight sacks and only completed 19 passes as quarterback C.J. Stroud spent most of the afternoon […]


Solid Performance By Joe Mixon In Playoff Loss

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon was one of the few bright spots for his team in a season-ending defeat to Kansas City on Saturday, during which he compiled 100 yards from scrimmage and scored his team's only touchdown. The former Cincinnati Bengal rushed for a game-high 88 yards on 18 carries, and also hauled […]


C.J. Stroud Under Siege In Season-Ending Defeat

Quarterback C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans spent most of the Divisional Round under pressure, completing 19 of 28 passing attempts for 245 yards with neither a touchdown or a turnover in his team's season-ending defeat at Kansas City on Saturday. The Chiefs were able to get the best of Houston's offensive line, sacking the […]


Nightmare Game For Ka'imi Fairbairn At Kansas City

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn had a rough day in the team's 23-14 defeat in the Divisional Round at Kansas City, making only two of his four field-goal attempts and missing his only extra point. The veteran converted from 30 and 48 yards, but badly missed on a 55-yarder in the first half, pushed an […]


C.J. Stroud A Low-End Starting QB Option At Chiefs

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud should be considered the lowest-ranked option out of all eight starting quarterback options with his team set to take on the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round. The 23-year-old faces a Chiefs defense that ranked third among playoff teams in air yards allowed, fourth overall in blitz […]


Nico Collins Among Top Divisional-Round WR Options

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins continues to be a top-flight option with the underdog Texans set to travel to Kansas City in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs on Saturday. Kansas City has been excellent at creating pressure and stopping the run, but was a middling 17th against PPR receivers. In the first […]


Dalton Schultz A Middling Option Vs. Chiefs

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) is off the injury report but still a fringe TE1 with the underdog Texans set to play the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs. The 28-year old is now Houston's second option in the passing game with Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell […]


Rough Road Ahead For Ka'imi Fairbairn

Coming off 12 points in the Wild Card round, Ka'imi Fairbairn faces what is likely the toughest matchup for any starting kicker this weekend when the underdog Houston Texans travel to Kansas City in the Divisional Round. The Chiefs were one of the worst draws for fantasy kickers during the regular season, ranking No. 2 […]


Texans D/ST A Low-End Option Against Kansas City

The Houston Texans defense/special teams is among the bottom rung of teams still alive in the NFL playoffs when they take on the defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round on Saturday. Already without top safeties Jalen Pitre (shoulder) and Jimmie Ward (foot) for the season, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) is questionable to face […]


Perfect Outing For Ka'imi Fairbairn In Wild-Card Victory

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect in his team's 32-12 Wild Card victory against the Los Angeles Chargers, converting all three of his field goal attempts and all three extra points to help Houston advance. The longtime Texans kicker made easy work of a range of short and midrange field goals, making kicks from […]


Four Catches For John Metchie III In Wild-Card Win

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III was the second option in the Houston passing offense on Saturday, catching four passes for 28 yards in a 32-12 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Alabama product was targeted eight times, which tied receiver Nico Collins for the most on the team, but brought in only […]


C.J. Stroud Rebounds To Help Texans Advance

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud shook off an awful first-half interception to finish 22 of 33 passing for 282 yards and a touchdown in helping his team defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in the Wild Card Round. The sophomore quarterback also ran for 42 yards, which included a 27-yard scramble in the second quarter, […]


Big Day For Nico Collins In Wild-Card Win

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins put together a massive performance on Saturday in a Wild-Card win against the Los Angeles Chargers, catching seven of his eight targets for 122 yards and a touchdown. The Texans overcame some early sloppiness to secure their second postseason victory in as many seasons, with the star receiver leading […]


Texans D/ST Hits Paydirt Against Bolts

The Houston Texans defense/special teams came up huge on Saturday in their Wild-Card game against the Los Angeles Chargers by recording four sacks, picking off quarterback Justin Herbert four times, returning one of the interceptions for a touchdown, and blocking an extra-point attempt for two points in a 32-12 victory. Herbert threw only three interceptions […]


Joe Mixon Recovers To Help Houston Ice Victory

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon overcame a rare fumble by helping his team secure victory with a 100-yard rushing effort and a game-clinching touchdown in the Texans' 32-12 win against the Los Angeles Chargers in a Wild-Card playoff game. In total, the first-year Texan finished with 106 rushing yards on 25 carries and caught […]


Chargers Rule Out Denzel Perryman In Wild-Card Game

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman (elbow) has been officially ruled out of the team's Wild-Card playoff game against the Houston Texans due to an injury sustained while tackling Houston running back Joe Mixon. The veteran linebacker has missed most of the past seven weeks due to injury, and ultimately wasn't able to complete the […]


Chargers' Cam Hart Questionable To Return

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Cam Hart (shoulder) is questionable to return to the team's Wild-Card game against the Houston Texans, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Hart went down after a collision and immediately went to the locker room upon sustaining the injury. The fifth-round rookie from Notre Dame has carved out a role […]


Cam Akers Questionable For Wild-Card Game

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers (illness) is officially questionable to play in the Wild Card playoff game on Monday against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Minnesota's final injury report of the week. He appeared on the injury report Friday, but Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Saturday that he expects the backup […]
