I've been contributing to RotoBaller since January 2024 producing fantasy content for NFL, MLB, and NHL. I am also a member of the operations and staff and the editing team. I have been playing fantasy sports for nearly my entire life and believe in the importance of data analysis leading you to victory. I began my sports writing career with my university newspaper and was eventually promoted to sports editor and was nominated for several awards such as Best Editorial piece by the Press Club of Long Island. In my content, I emphasize data and historical trends as it is the key to finding the edge in our competitions. By analyzing the data given to us, we can make informed decisions and in turn, become sharper fantasy players. I am also an accredited member of the FSWA.

George Kittle Remains Sidelined During Thursday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice. Kittle exited their Monday night victory over the Colts early due to an ankle injury. Following the contest, the star tight end was reported to have suffered a "mid-to-low" ankle sprain. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan has stated Kittle still has a […]


Malik Willis Carrying Questionable Tag for Week 17 Tilt

Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Willis joins the top option on the depth chart, Jordan Love (concussion, shoulder), on the final injury report as both QBs carry a questionable tag into the weekend. Willis replaced Love during last Saturday's loss to the […]


Jordan Love Questionable for Saturday's Contest

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Love was forced from their Week 16 contest due to a concussion, but also carries an injury designation related to his left shoulder. In addition, the team's No. 2 QB, Malik Willis (shoulder/illness), is also listed as […]


Lamar Jackson Listed as Doubtful for Week 17

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Green Bay Packers. Jackson exited their Week 16 contest with a back injury and was unable to participate in this week's practices. While the Ravens have not officially ruled out their star QB, he appears to be facing an uphill […]


Cowboys Defense Projects as Top Streaming Option in Week 17

The Dallas Cowboys defense should be viewed as a top streaming option in Week 17 when they travel to Washington to face the Commanders on Christmas afternoon. Even though the Cowobys enter Week 17 allowing a hefty 30.3 PPG (second-most in the league), they carry elite upside in the fantasy championships. They will face a […]


Philip Rivers Carries Streaming Upside for Fantasy Championships

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers has entered streaming territory ahead of his Week 17 tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite not appearing in an NFL game since the 2020 season, the 44-year-old has looked quite comfortable in the Indianapolis offense and has flashed solid upside for fantasy. In his season debut in Week 15, Rivers […]


Mack Hollins Could Have Increased Target Share in Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) could see a larger role on Sunday afternoon when they face the New York Jets. During their victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, wideout Kayshon Boutte and running back TreVeyon Henderson both exited with a concussion and are now in concussion protocol, which could open […]


Colby Parkinson Set to Remain in Prominent Role

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson is set to remain in a lead role during their Week 17 contest against the Atlanta Falcons despite his disappointing showing last week. On Thursday, with No. 2 WR Davante Adams (hamstring) out of action, Parkinson was expected to see a larger role in the passing game, but […]


Rome Odunze "Increasing Unlikely to Play" in Week 17

According to Jason Lieser of The Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) is "increasingly unlikely to play" on Sunday night when the Bears travel to Santa Clara to face the 49ers. Lieser noted that there is a chance Oduzne may also be held out of action in Week 18. Odunze has […]


Chris Rodriguez Jr. Carries Questionable Tag on Thursday

According to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic, Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) was added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old missed their Week 15 contest due to a groin injury but quickly reclaimed the starting role last weekend, taking 15 […]


David Montgomery Expected to Play on Christmas Day

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (illness) is expected to play on Christmas afternoon when the Lions face the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran RB was listed as a non-participant during Tuesday's practice session but upgraded to limited participation on Wednesday. However, he was still listed as questionable on the team's final injury report. Fantasy managers […]

Rachaad White Could See Larger Role on Sunday

According to head coach Todd Bowles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White could be given a larger role during their contest against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. When asked about White's usage during their loss to the Panthers in Week 16, Bowles noted that he "completely agrees" that White should have been given […]


Tony Pollard Trending Towards Timeshare in Week 17?

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard could be trending towards a timeshare during their week 17 contest against the Saints. According to OC Nick Holtz, the split workload between Tyjae Spears and Pollard was "how he envisioned" their usage given their respective skill sets. In their victory over the Chiefs, Pollard took the bulk of […]

When Will Rashee Rice Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 17 (2025)

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was held out of their contest on Sunday due to a concussion. On Monday, Rice was unable to practice in their initial session and appears to be in danger of sitting out in Week 17. Given that the Chiefs play on Thursday, the star wideout will not have […]


Is Alvin Kamara Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 17)

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) has been on the shelf since suffering this injury during their Week 12 contest against the Atlanta Falcons.
