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.

Articles

No Wednesday Practice For Terry McLaurin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle, rest) did not practice on Wednesday prior to the regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. Washington rested a number of its major players and will be an interesting case in Week 18. The Commanders have clinched a berth in the playoffs, but are locked into a Wild Card […]


Marquez Valdes-Scantling Has Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) logged a limited practiced on Wednesday ahead of the Week 18 game against Tampa Bay. The veteran receiver has been an extreme boom-or-bust option who surprised with a WR2 finish in Week 10 and caught touchdowns in three straight weeks earlier in the season, but bottomed out […]


Juwan Johnson Limited On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday prior to the Week 18 finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran tight end is coming off his best game of the year and led the team in receiving, but times are bleak for the Saints. Johnson has a […]


No Practice For Saints' Kendre Miller

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday prior to the Week 18 finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Miller can't clear concussion protocol by Sunday, newly acquired back Clyde Edwards-Helaire seems likely to lead the backfield again, though he drew only five carries last week against Las Vegas. […]


Nick Bosa Does Not Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 18's regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals. The Ohio State product has been an injury report regular this year, but the knee injury was a new designation after oblique and hip issues earlier in the season. With San Francisco […]


Ricky Pearsall Limited In Wednesday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (illness, chest) was limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The 49ers will conclude the season at Arizona in Week 18 in a meeting of two teams that have been eliminated from playoff contention. The rookie receiver is coming off his career-best game on Monday […]


Dolphins D/ST Smothers Browns In Key Win

The Miami Dolphins defense/special teams took care of the Cleveland Browns offense on Sunday, holding them to a lone field goal while forcing two turnovers and a sack in a 20-3 victory that preserved their playoff chances for another week. With Cleveland playing third-string quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Miami's defense held the Browns to 276 on […]


Jason Sanders Delivers In Victory Against Browns

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders had a perfect day on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, hitting both field goal attempts and both extra points in a 20-3 victory that kept Miami's playoff hopes alive for another week. The kicker crushed a 54-yarder in the first quarter, no small feat given the muddy field conditions in […]


Tyreek Hill Returns To Form In Win At Cleveland

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill looked like his old self Sunday at Cleveland, catching all nine of his targets for 105 yards in a 20-3 victory. The veteran receiver was a critical part of the win for a Miami team playing without injured starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip). With quarterback Tyler Huntley filling in, […]


De'Von Achane Disappoints In Week 17

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane finished with his second-worst fantasy output of the season Sunday at Cleveland, gaining 25 rushing yards and catching only two passes for another 13 yards in the 20-3 victory. The electric back was a victim of circumstances outside of his control, as the Miami offense shifted into survive-and-advance mode […]


Tyler Huntley Effective In Leading Dolphins To Victory

Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Tyler Huntley did the job Sunday at Cleveland, completing 22 of 26 passes for 225 yards, leading the team in rushing, and accounting for two touchdowns without a turnover in the 20-3 victory. The journeyman ran for a game-best 52 yards on just seven carries, which included a 13-yard scramble for […]


Jonnu Smith Finds End Zone Vs. Browns

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith hit pay dirt against the Cleveland Browns, hauling in a game-clinching touchdown to cap a day with three catches and 26 yards in the Dolphins' 20-3 win at Cleveland. All things considered, it wasn't a bad day for the veteran tight end, who saw a major downgrade at quarterback […]


Christian Watson Unlikely To Play Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is unlikely to play on Sunday in the showdown against Minnesota, according to a report from NFL Network. The receiver's third year has been a major letdown from a fantasy perspective, and the injury certainly isn't helping. Watson has just 29 catches on 52 targets in 14 […]


Future In Question For Jets' Garrett Wilson

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, a key part of the New York Jets' offseason will involve determining whether star wide receiver Garrett Wilson will be part of the team's future. The 2022 first-round pick has not connected with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, with Rapoport reporting the two had a "blowup" at training […]


Jameis Winston To Be Browns' Emergency QB

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston (shoulder) is expected to be listed among the team's inactives on Sunday but serve as the emergency quarterback, according to Ian Rapoport. Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start the game at quarterback for Cleveland, while Bailey Zappe will serve as the backup. Winston will suit up for the game, but won't count […]


Xavier Legette Expected To Play Sunday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip, wrist), is expected to play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL Network. The rookie did not play last week, but should give it a go against the Bucs. For fantasy purposes, Legette has been difficult to rely upon in recent weeks, posting just four catches […]


Jaylen Waddle Likely To Miss Week 17

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is unlikely to play in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Alabama product also missed last week's game with the injury, during which rookie receiver Malik Washington played 87% of the team's snaps. Further complicating things is the likely absence of […]


Tyreek Hill Expected To Play Against Browns

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is expected to suit against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, according to NFL Network. The veteran should be Miami's top receiver option as Jaylen Waddle (knee) is unlikely to go, but Miami starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is doubtful. That would leave quarterback Tyler Huntley in line to […]


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

Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Week 17 Updates For Jalen Hurts, Isaac Guerendo, J.K. Dobbins, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill

Championship week in most fantasy leagues brings about quite a few tricky lineup decisions for managers who are still playing meaningful games. Week 17 features games on five different days of the week, and injuries to would-be fantasy starters like Isaac Guerendo, Jalen Hurts, Jaylen Waddle, and Davante Adams, among others, only further complicate setting lineups. […]


Michael Carter A Wait-And-See Play In Week 17

With injuries ahead of him on the depth chart, Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter has a huge range of possibilities in Week 17 against the L.A. Rams that varies from remaining on the practice squad to being the team's starter. Both James Conner (knee) and Trey Benson (ankle) are questionable to play in the […]


Michael Wilson A Desperation Option Against Rams

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is a low-end WR5 option with his team set to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. The sophomore has been one of the middle-ground receivers who is just productive enough to hold onto in deeper leagues, but without the breakout potential to warrant starting on a […]


Chad Ryland Outside Starting Range In Week 17

For at least another week, Chad Ryland will maintain the starting kicker role with the Arizona Cardinals, but managers should still look for another option with the Cards playing the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. The second-year kicker has filled in nicely for the injured Matt Prater (knee), connecting on 25 of 29 field-goal […]


Cardinals D/ST Not A Playable Option In Week 17

The Arizona Cardinals defense/special teams should be left on waivers ahead of a Week 17 meeting against the Los Angeles Rams. Aside from having their full rotation of dangerous skill players in running back Kyren Williams and receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, the Rams have been adept at limiting negative plays, ranking in the […]


Two Catches For Dalton Schultz Vs. Ravens

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz drew six targets on Wednesday against Baltimore, but finished with just two catches for 21 yards. The Texans' offense looked awful in the game, with quarterback C.J. Stroud off target on a number of throws and the offensive line unable to sustain much of anything in the running or […]


John Metchie III Leads Texans In Targets

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III led the team with eight targets on Wednesday against the Baltimore Ravens, which he turned into five catches for 48 yards. Unfortunately for the everybody on the Houston offense, it was an all-around poor day as the team failed to score on offense and was blown out 31-2. […]


C.J. Stroud Off Target In Big Loss To Ravens

Quarterback C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans delivered a dud in Week 17, finishing 17-for-31 for 185 yards with no touchdowns and an interception as the Houston offense failed to score in a 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The sophomore was off target on a number of throws, and he was done no favors […]


Nico Collins A Victim Of Ineffective Houston Offense

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught three of his six targets for 59 yards on Wednesday in a 31-2 blowout loss against the Baltimore Ravens. The Texans' offense had a brutal showing in which quarterback C.J. Stroud was off target, the offensive line surrendered five sacks, and the Texans gained only one rushing first […]


Ravens Shut Down Joe Mixon In Blowout

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon managed only 39 total yards as the Houston offense failed to score in a 31-2 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. The veteran back rushed only nine times, picking up 26 yards, and caught two of his three targets for another 13 yards. The Texans' offense was […]


John Metchie III A Desperation Option In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (shoulder) appears ready to return to the lineup on Christmas Day against the Baltimore Ravens, and with ample opportunity within the Texans' offense. Wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) joined Stefon Diggs (knee) on injured reserve, opening the way for other receivers behind top target Nico Collins. However, starting […]


Van Jefferson Not Recommended In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson is off the fantasy radar when the Steelers take on Kansas City on Christmas Day. The veteran has played more than 70% of the Steelers' snaps the past three weeks, but that seems likely to change with top receiver George Pickens (hamstring) likely to return to the lineup. The […]
