Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 8 Pickups and Adds

The waiver wire gets thinner each week, as you will soon find out. There are some retreads here that have been added and dropped twice over, but still could prove valuable as we enter the middle portion of the fantasy regular season. With a staggering six teams on bye in Week 8, the best you […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

C.J. Anderson was a big, huge, fat bust last week and I totally missed on that. There, I feel better now. No, not really. While we're all trying to predict the future here and wrong quite a bit, it never feels good to be totally wrong when you're putting it out there for thousands to […]

Week 7 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

We get a temporary reprieve from the slaughter that bye weeks do to our lineups as only Detroit and Houston find themselves off this week. This is the point in year where norms have been established and you pretty much know if you're going to be a contender or not. With no lopsided matchups on […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 7 Pickups and Adds

If you're back here looking for more options off the waiver wire at RB, chances are you didn't bother to pickup Adrian Peterson last week. While I certainly can't claim knowing he would look that good in Arizona, he was the top mention in last week's article and was by far more valuable as a […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll start by repeating something profound I said in my podcast yesterday: Deshaun Watson is good. I'd put him at the top of this column once again, but it's too obvious in a matchup with Cleveland and you should be starting him anyway. Now that we got that out of the way, I'll continue by […]

Week 6 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

There was plenty of parity last week, but I have a feeling we're going to see some blowouts on Sunday. It feels a little funny putting a Jets tight end, a Texans quarterback, and a Broncos running back in my top five, but fantasy football is a funny game after all. As an expert ranker […]

Fantasy Bomb Podcast - The More You Know...

RotoBallers Pierre Camus is joined by Kyle Richardson to bring some dynasty perspective to the 2017 season. We wistfully look back at the early part of the season to reflect on what life lessons (fantasy football life) we've learned.

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire - Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Welcome back, RotoBallers. This column will highlight some Week 6 waiver wire adds for wide receivers. If these players are free agents on your league's waiver wire, then you should consider targeting them this week. The article is split into a few different sections. Depending on your league size, and whether it's PPR, the waiver wire recommendations range from high priority to lower […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Thankfully, the injury bug didn't bite running backs as hard this week. Many of these names may now look familiar, but it's still important to gauge which players have rising values and which are merely roster depth or desperation plays. If you want absolute clarity on the backfield situation in New York or New England, […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 5 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes you just get that feeling... this week is going to be special. A typical NFL week can turn into a horror show when it's rife with injuries, or if the team you had stacked in multiple leagues gets upset at home... cough cough, Falcons, cough... But this is one of those weeks where each game […]

Week 5 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

Now things get interesting. We have some high-profile offenses taking the week off and it seems like all the matchups this week are all or nothing. There could be upwards of 60 points on the board in the Pats-Bucs, Packers-Cowboys, and Chiefs-Texans games. Then there are the games that you only watch when Red Zone […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon will get a rare second chance to prove himself capable of being more than a backup. Dalvin Cook's season-ending ACL injury opens up the backfield to him once again, just as Adrian Peterson's injury did last season. […]

Alex Collins (RB, BAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins picked up 82 yards on nine rushes in Week 3, mostly in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss in London. He was largely ignored in the fantasy community, even after John Harbaugh inserted him into the starting […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington won't fill the massive void left behind by David Johnson in the running game, but he's certainly trying as a pass-catcher. Ellington was targeted a whopping 14 times in Week 4, catching nine balls for 86 yards. […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 5 Pickups and Adds

Unfortunately, it's going to be a busy week for the RB waiver wire. This article should be accompanied by the theme music for M*A*S*H (Google it kids, it's a classic). Several injuries forced backup running backs into action in Week 4, with varying results. This article will aim to highlight Week 5 waiver wire adds […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 4 Fantasy Football Picks

Last week went much better, as the players who are supposed to be stars actually played like it, even some that we didn't expect to. As predicted in this column, Kirk Cousins went bananas, as did Kareem Hunt and A.J. Green. James White... not so much (that's what I get for trying to trust a […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 4 Pickups and Adds

Week 3 saw things revert back to normalcy in the fantasy world. Just kidding, it was a ****ing mess. Not so much in the running back world, though. The studs were mostly studs, except for the one that got to play the Jets. The early waiver wire pickups have mostly paid off, except the one […]

Week 26 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

This is it. One last chance to give your team a boost off the waiver wire to clinch that championship (or to at least finish just ahead of your co-worker in that office league so you don't have to hear about it the rest of the offseason). The corner infield positions traditionally offer power with […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 3 Fantasy Football Picks

There were some clear fantasy heroes that emerged out of nowhere in Week 2, such as Jermaine Kearse, Chris Thompson, and J.J. Nelson. Others were less surprising, such as Derek Carr, Tom Brady, and Rob Gronkowski. This week promises more unexpected performances, as 0-2 teams get desperate and scratch and claw for a victory. It […]

Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 26

This is it - the final week of the baseball season (sheds single tear). For those trying to clinch a championship or just a better final position, here are some players that could warrant starting, sitting, adding, or dropping, depending on your league and team's circumstance. I'll focus on lightly owned players to add or […]

Week 3 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

You win some, you lose some. That's the most gross oversimplification one could possibly make in regards to sports and life itself, but it's also the one that always holds true. By remembering that we are not infallible, it keeps us humble yet motivated to keep pursuing victory. This is what I've been telling myself […]

Fantasy Bomb Podcast - Week 3 Panic Time!

RotoBallers Pierre Camus and Adam Hammer highlight some of the key fantasy performances from Week 2 of the NFL season and discuss rising flex considerations for Week 3, along with some disappointing players that may be inducing panic in their owners.

Week 4 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

We're now starting to get a feel for what 2017 is bringing to the table. It isn't always appetizing, but at the very least it's always interesting. The highly vaunted RB rookie class is delivering in spades and reshaping the fantasy fortunes of many teams. In other words, it's time to throw those ADP lists […]

Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 25

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Batting average is just one of many statistics fantasy owners must consider, but contact rate can also be telling of all-around success at the plate. A sudden increase or decrease in contact rate could signal the beginning of an extended hot or cold streak, leading to important waiver wire choices or start/sit […]

Week 3 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We were treated to some better football this weekend with no major injuries to star players (no, anyone nicknamed Fat Rob doesn't count as a star). The downside to Week 2 was that we didn't see any major breakouts or surprises by rookies and some of last week's shooting stars seem to already have fizzled. […]

Week 25 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

We're headed down the final stretch for the 2017 fantasy baseball season, but it's never too late to improve your team via waiver wire adds. There are plenty of rookies who are hungry to make good impressions in the final weeks. Grabbing the right one might be all you need for that final playoff push. […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks

Let's face it - as much as you try to build a strong team at all positions, you're winning each week based on the strength of one or two players that put up huge performances. The vast majority of champions from 2016 weren't won by guys with the best balance in their lineup or the […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 25

We are nearing the home stretch, which means precious few days of baseball left! If you're still fighting tooth and nail for a playoff spot, here are some players that could warrant starting, sitting, adding, or dropping, depending on your league and team's circumstance. Scouting players who may be undervalued and re-assessing players who may […]
