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.

Ezekiel Elliott Held Quiet In Monday Night Loss

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and carried once for eight yards in a 34-10 loss to Houston on Monday. It was ugly all around as the Cowboys rushed for just 64 total yards and spent most of the night playing catch-up behind backup quarterback Cooper […]


Jonathan Mingo Held Catchless In Dallas Debut

Newly acquired Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo failed to catch a pass from four targets in a 34-10 loss to Houston on Monday. Dallas gave up a fourth-round pick in a trade with Carolina at the trade deadline, but couldn't get the second-year receiver involved at all against Houston. With quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) […]


Three Catches For John Metchie III In Win

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III hauled in all three of his targets for 33 yards in the Texans' 34-10 victory at Dallas on Monday night. The third-year receiver was coming off a career game last week against Detroit, and remained involved despite the Texans seeing the return of top receiver Nico Collins. The […]


Moderate Production For Tank Dell In Week 11 Win

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell finished his team's 34-10 victory at Dallas with four catches for 54 yards on seven targets. Interestingly, it was exactly the same stat line as No. 1 receiver Nico Collins, who returned to the lineup following a prolonged absence. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed passes to eight different receivers, […]


Nico Collins Held To Four Catches Against Dallas

The Houston Texans saw top wide receiver Nico Collins haul in four passes for 54 yards on seven targets during a 34-10 victory at Dallas. The star wideout's return to the field after a hamstring ailment landed him on injured reserve was a bit underwhelming, as he finished with exactly the same stat line as […]


No Touchdowns For C.J. Stroud In Texans’ Win

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 23 of 34 passing attempts for 257 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in a 34-10 victory at Dallas on Monday. The second-year quarterback saw the return of top wide receiver Nico Collins, but running back Joe Mixon did most of the offensive damage by scoring three touchdowns. […]


Season-High In Catches For Dalton Schultz On Monday Night

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz set a season-high with five catches for 33 yards in the Texans' 34-10 victory against the Dallas Cowboys. The big tight end drew seven targets, which tied for the team lead, but did most of his work within short yardage. The former Cowboy still has not scored this season, […]


Texans D/ST Finds End Zone In Victory At Dallas

The Houston Texans defense/special teams compiled five sacks, forced two turnovers, and clinched a 34-10 victory Monday at Dallas with a wild defensive play in which they ended up in the end zone. Houston defensive end Derek Barnett stripped Dallas quarterback Cooper Rush, Cowboys guard Tyler Guyton recovered, and Houston safety Jalen Pitre blasted Guyton, […]


Joe Mixon Extends Hot Streak Against Cowboys

For the fifth consecutive week, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon surpassed 100 rushing yards and found the end zone on Monday at Dallas, finishing with 153 total yards and three scores in the 34-10 win. The veteran running back kept up his hot streak with 109 yards on 20 carries, to which he added […]


C.J. Stroud Back In QB1 Range Against Dallas

After a challenging past month, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud meets the struggling Dallas Cowboys at a great time. Last year's Offensive Rookie of the Year averaged under 200 yards during his past four games, during which he had just two passing touchdowns and two interceptions. Opposing defenses have exposed the Texans' pass protection for […]


Struggling Cowboys Make Great Matchup For Joe Mixon

Already in great form, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon finds himself with an excellent matchup Monday against the fading Dallas Cowboys. The running back's age-28 season has seen him score touchdowns five weeks in a row, during which he is averaging 117 total yards and more than three targets per game. The Cowboys, meanwhile, […]


Tank Dell Could Return To 2023 Role In Week 11

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell once again finds himself in boom-or-bust Flex/WR3 territory with the Texans taking on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. The 25-year-old receiver ranks a disappointing 40th at his position in PPR formats, though the Houston offense is due a major boost with the return of fellow receiver Nico Collins. […]


Volume Still An Issue For Dalton Schultz Against Dallas

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz continues to be a TE2 option as Houston takes on his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, in Week 11. The 28-year-old is coming off a season-best 66 receiving yards last week, but volume remains an issue, and now the Texans are slated to get top receiver Nico Collins back […]


Another Good Matchup For Houston Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains the overall No. 1 fantasy option at his position with another favorable matchup on Monday against the Dallas Cowboys. The Houston kicker is up to 11 made field goals from beyond 50 yards already, which ties the NFL record in a season with two more months still to go. […]


Superb Matchup For Texans D/ST On MNF

A Monday Night Football matchup with the floundering Dallas Cowboys puts the Houston Texans D/ST on the short list of top defenses to start in Week 11. The Texans pressure more than 27% of dropbacks, which ranks fourth in the NFL, and they're coming off a five-interception game against Detroit last week. Now comes a […]

Fantasy Football Injury Updates for Week 11: Tee Higgins, Nico Collins, George Kittle, D.K. Metcalf, Davante Adams

As fantasy regular seasons hit the home stretch, success in the next month is going to be tied to how well playoff-contending rosters can make up for bye weeks and injuries. It's a big week for fantasy receivers, especially, as Nico Collins, D.K. Metcalf, Darnell Mooney, Brian Thomas Jr., and Davante Adams, among others, are […]


Jonathan Mingo To Make Dallas Debut In Week 11

New Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo will make his team debut on Monday against Houston, according to Clarence Hill Jr. of DLLS Sports. The former second-round pick lasted fewer than two years with the Carolina Panthers, who shipped him and a seventh-round pick to Dallas for a fourth-rounder at the trade deadline. Mingo had […]


Aaron Rodgers Leaning Toward Return In 2025

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will turn 41 years old next month, told reporters that he is leaning toward returning for the 2025 season. The veteran quarterback is under contract for another year with the Jets, which would be his 21st season in the NFL. Asked if he still wants to play next […]


Pats’ Christian Barmore To Practice Thursday

New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore (blood clots) is likely to practice for the first time since the diagnosis on Thursday, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The star tackle has not played at all this season after posting a career-best 8.5 sacks and 64 tackles in 2023. The 2021 second-round […]


Panthers’ Miles Sanders Avoids Major Injury

Testing revealed that Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (foot/ankle) avoided a major injury, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Penn State product was carted off the field during the Panthers' victory against the New York Giants in Munich, but he appears to have dodged the worst-case scenarios. Rapoport reported that […]


Brutal Second Half Sinks C.J. Stroud Against Lions

The Houston Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud looked poised for a big victory on Sunday, but they failed to generate any points in the second half as Detroit stormed back from a 16-point deficit to win, 26-23. The former Buckeye finished 19-for-33 for 232 yards with a touchdown and two second-half picks that aided Detroit's […]


Receiving Yards, Touchdown Save The Day For Joe Mixon

On his worst rushing night of the season, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon still compiled 90 total yards, two catches, and a touchdown on Sunday in a 26-23 loss against the Detroit Lions. It was the fifth consecutive week in which the veteran found the end zone. The Lions limited the former Bengal to […]


Houston’s Dalton Schultz Solid Against Detroit

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz pulled in three passes for a season-high 66 yards in a 26-23 loss to Detroit on Sunday. The big tight end didn't see a ton of volume, logging only four targets, but he was effective when called upon in the passing attack. Unfortunately for Houston, the offense was shut […]


Decent Effort For Tank Dell Against Lions

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell finished with five catches for 39 yards on Sunday in a 26-23 loss to the Detroit Lions. The second-year receiver was targeted a team-high nine times, but finished fourth on the team in receiving yards. The Houston offense didn't do much of anything in the second half, during which […]


Texans D/ST Records Five Interceptions In Week 10 Loss

The Houston Texans defense/special teams intercepted Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff a whopping five times on Sunday, but it wasn't quite enough as the Lions came back to win on the final play of regulation by a score of 26-23. The defense did not record a sack in the defeat, during which the Houston offense […]


Banner Night For John Metchie III Vs. Detroit

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III had a career night against the Detroit Lions, finishing with five catches on six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in a 26-23 loss. The third-year receiver missed his entire rookie season after being diagnosed with leukemia and has played sparingly in the two years since, but […]


Nico Collins - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Injury Updates for Week 10: Christian McCaffrey, Trevor Lawrence, Jonathon Brooks, Nico Collins, Jalen Hurts

In Week 10, there are big questions facing fantasy managers who are hoping for good news on dynamic players as they make a push for the playoffs. Will we finally see Christian McCaffrey? Can Nico Collins return to the form he showed prior to his injury? Is rookie Jonathon Brooks ready to make his NFL […]


Robert Woods Could See Expanded Role In Week 10

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods could suddenly be his team's top receiving option in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Houston wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is already out for the season, while Nico Collins (hamstring) is questionable after being activated from injured reserve. Tank Dell (back) popped up on the final injury report […]


C.J. Stroud A Risky Option In Week 10

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud should be considered a QB2 in a risky matchup Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Detroit's defense ranks eighth against fantasy quarterbacks and is tied for first in hurries, bad news for a Texans offensive line that allowed eight sacks last week. Additionally, wide receivers Nico Collins (hamstring) and Tank Dell […]


Despite Matchup, Joe Mixon A Must-Start In Week 10

The 7-1 Detroit Lions present a challenge for the Houston Texans in Week 10, but Texans running back Joe Mixon has been so effective that he should still be considered an RB1 candidate. The veteran has gone for 100-plus yards and a touchdown four weeks in a row, and he now ranks 15th among fantasy […]
