Ricky Maloney - RotoBaller

164 articles

I'm a lifelong sports fan, and more recently a Boston University graduate with a bachelor's in journalism. I've been playing fantasy sports for over a decade and have been writing about them for over two years now. My fantasy expertise is mainly in football, but I also provided in-depth coverage for hockey, basketball, and soccer teams during my time at BU. My experience across various sports has ranged from attending team practices and postgame press conferences to doing game analysis and writing opinion pieces. This is my second NFL season contributing to RotoBaller and I'm excited to keep giving my two cents! You can find me on Twitter/X @RickyJMaloney

Articles

Eagles D/ST Up Against Powerhouse Bills Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit forced a turnover for the sixth straight game last week, and added on two sacks in a 29-18 victory. However, they will have one of their tallest tasks up against them on Sunday as they visit Buffalo. The Bills average 29.8 points per game, which is tied for the […]


Jake Elliott a Low-Value Streamer Amid Accuracy Issues

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all three of his extra points but missed both of his field goal attempts in his most recent performance against the Commanders. This week, Elliott is up against the Bills, who tote an average defense allowing 22.9 points per game to their opponents this season-15th-fewest in the league. This […]


Dallas Goedert Has Intimidating Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has now caught a touchdown in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 5 and 6 after scoring against the Commanders. However, Goedert's usage fell back down to earth, finishing with just three catches for 32 yards on three targets. And this week, Goedert will have a steep […]


Darius Cooper Back to Low Usage Heading Into Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper did not record any statistics in his most recent game against the Commanders after having receptions in his previous two contests. Cooper also saw his offensive snap count percentage drop to below 20% for the first time since Week 11. The first-year undrafted wideout has failed to explode […]


DeVonta Smith Not an Exciting Start Versus Buffalo

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (illness) does not carry an injury designation heading into the weekend. Smith snapped a five game scoreless streak last week against the Commanders, with his six receptions also being his most in an outing since Week 12. While the touchdown helped out his final stat line, the Philly wideout […]


A.J. Brown Regains Momentum Heading Into Tough Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) does not carry an injury designation heading into the weekend. Brown's low-usage Week 15 looks more and more like a fluke, as he caught his stride once again with nine catches for 95 yards on 12 targets against the Commanders last week. His last six weeks have been […]


Tank Bigsby Not Worth Fantasy Playoff Start Behind Saquon Barkley

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby recorded 37 rushing yards and his first touchdown of the season on four carries against the Commanders last week. Bigsby broke free for a 22-yard score in the fourth quarter, and now averages an impressive 6.1 yards per attempt this year. However, with Saquon Barkley healthy and ready to […]


Saquon Barkley Has High Ceiling in Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley last week recorded his second-most rushing yards in a game this season, torching the Commanders for 132 and a touchdown. Barkley has gotten hot lately, with 332 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 63 carries over the last three weeks. On Sunday, he may feast again versus a Buffalo […]


Jalen Hurts May Struggle Through the Air Against Bills

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts helped out fantasy managers last week with two passing touchdowns and his biggest day on the ground since Week 4, tallying 40 rushing yards. Hurts may have to rely on his legs some more in his upcoming game against the Bills, as Buffalo allows just 167.1 passing yards per game […]


Eagles D/ST Start-Worthy Against Another Backup QB

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit achieved their first shutout of the season against the Raiders, while also recording four sacks and an interception. Philly has racked up 11 sacks over the last two weeks, and will now face the Commanders who have given up 33 sacks this season-tied for 13th-most in the NFL. Washington […]


Jake Elliott Not a Top Option for Week 16 Kickers

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott went perfect on the day against the Raiders, making all four of his extra points and hitting his only field goal from 27 yards out. It was a much needed confidence-gainer after he had missed a kick in the previous three games. However, only hitting one field goal-and from short […]


Darius Cooper Coming Off of Career-Best Performance

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper has now recorded at least one catch in consecutive games for the first time in his career. His two catches for 29 yards came on Philly's last drive of the game, where Cooper got some more time to shine thanks to the starters sitting out. So, he still […]


Tank Bigsby Still Just a Late-Season Handcuff Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) does not carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's contest against the Commanders. Bigsby recorded his most rushing attempts in a game so far this season against the Raiders last week, racking up 17 carries for 57 yards. He had some heavy fourth quarter involvement with a 31-point […]


Dallas Goedert's Recent Form Slots Him as TE1 Option

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has totaled his most receptions in a two-game window this season in the past two weeks, following up an eight-catch game against the Chargers with six more against the Raiders. After a lengthy slump, Goedert has stepped his game back up lately, also breaking his five-game scoring drought versus […]


DeVonta Smith Has Low Floor Against Commanders

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith tied his lowest target count in a game this season against the Raiders, mustering just two looks. He was not alone, however, as only one Philly player (Dallas Goedert) achieved more than three targets in the runaway victory. Plus, Smith was able to make the most of his little […]


A.J. Brown a Safe Start Despite Low-Volume Outing Last Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown saw a sizable dip in looks last week, being targeted just twice after reaching double digits in the previous four games. It wasn't a pass-heavy day for the Philly offense, as Jalen Hurts threw the ball just 15 times in a blowout victory. Brown did make up the slack […]


Saquon Barkley Should Impress Again in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has now scored touchdowns in consecutive games for the first time since the first two weeks of the season. Barkley's 22 carries were also his most attempts in a game since Week 11. The star RB was able to capitalize on the favorable matchup against the Raiders, and will […]


Jalen Hurts Primed for Back-to-Back Booms

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for three touchdowns in a game for the first time since Week 8 in his most recent outing against the Raiders, and his 39 rushing yards were his most since Week 4. As fantasy playoffs continue, Hurts has another exciting matchup with the Commanders coming up on Saturday. Washington […]


Eagles D/ST a Top Option in Week 15

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit had a big day despite their loss to the Chargers in Week 14, setting two season-highs by forcing three turnovers and racking up seven sacks. It's especially exciting to see them in this form when they have an even easier opponent on the horizon, as a weak Raiders team […]


Jake Elliott's Recent Woes Not Worth the Risk

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott set his season high for field goals made in his most recent outing against the Chargers, hitting four of his attempts, but he also registered his sixth missed kick of the season -- a 48-yard field-goal try at the end of the first half. After starting perfectly through the first […]


Dallas Goedert is a Gamble Against Las Vegas

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert continues to keep fantasy managers guessing as he registered one of his best performances of the season last week against the Chargers. After a frustrating four-week stretch, Goedert racked up eight receptions for 78 yards on 10 targets against Los Angeles, all of which would be season highs if […]


Darius Cooper Back on Stat Sheet, But Not Reliable Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper logged his second-most snaps in a single game last week, as he was on the field for 21 offensive plays -- 29.6% of total opportunities. The increased action allowed Cooper to haul in his third career catch, a 19-yard gain in the fourth quarter. After failing to record […]


DeVonta Smith Has Enticing Matchup Against Raiders

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is coming off of back-to-back weeks where his production didn't quite meet expectations. It's not due to a lack of looks-Smith is averaging nine targets per game since Week 12-the issue is more because of his yardage. Over the same three-game span, he's averaging just 6.4 yards per target. […]


A.J. Brown in Peak Form Entering Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had his third straight game recording 100+ receiving yards last week against the Chargers as his hottest stretch of the season continues. It was also the fourth contest in a row that Brown was targeted at least 10 times. The stud wideout is perfectly set up to keep it […]


Tank Bigsby Not a Bad Fantasy Playoff Stash

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby finished last week's game against the Chargers with just one carry for four yards. Bigsby played an equal amount of snaps to Will Shipley (seven), who had no rushing attempts but did manage a single catch for three yards. The trend has continued between these backup RBs in Philly, […]


Saquon Barkley Faces a Weak Raiders Run Defense in Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley broke free for a 52-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of last week's game against the Chargers, finally snapping his four-game scoreless streak. This play also boosted him to his second-highest rushing yards count in a game this season with 122, his second time surpassing 100 yards on […]


Jalen Hurts Can Still Be Trusted After Horrendous Showing

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a shambolic showing in his worst game of the season this past Monday, turning the ball over five times and barely reaching a 50% completion rate in a loss to the Chargers. It was a new low for Hurts, who will try to bounce back in an upcoming meeting […]


Eagles D/ST a Mid-Tier Starting Option in Week 14

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit let up 24 points while forcing two sacks and an interception last week against the Chicago Bears. That means Philly has now recorded 24 sacks and 13 takeaways this season, both of which land them in the bottom 10 in the league. On Monday, they'll face off against the […]


Jake Elliott Coming Off of Worst Showing Yet

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed multiple kicks in a single game for the first time this season against the Chicago Bears, with one of those being his first missed extra point this year. Elliott is tied for the fewest made field goals in the league, hitting just 12 through 13 weeks. This week, Philly […]


Dallas Goedert Falls to TE2 Range Against the Chargers

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert tallied fewer than 30 yards for the third straight game in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Goedert's scoreless streak has now extended to four games, and he has totaled just 11 targets since Week 11. His recent woes may continue on Monday night as Philly travels to […]
