Ricky Maloney - RotoBaller

201 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

Darius Cooper Trying to Get Back on Stat Sheet in Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper achieved his second-highest snap percentage of the season last week against the Bears, seeing 24.1% of offensive plays. This is the first time in his career that he's played over 20% in consecutive games. Unfortunately, Cooper came back down to earth after his two-catch outing against the Cowboys, […]


DeVonta Smith May Fall by the Wayside in Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith failed to impress last week against the Bears, finishing with a mediocre five catches for 48 yards on eight targets. He and A.J. Brown both racked up a hefty majority of looks from Jalen Hurts, but while Brown turned those into a dominant showing, Smith fell behind on the […]


A.J. Brown has the Hot Hand in Eagles Offense

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had his best performance of the season last week, lighting up the Bears with 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns. His heavy involvement was in large part thanks to Jalen Hurts throwing 34 passes-his third-most in a game this year. Brown will likely have a tougher time […]


Tank Bigsby Coming Off of Dip in Usage

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby only saw the field for one play in last week's loss to the Bears, getting out-snapped by fellow RB Will Shipley. Granted, Shipley himself only got four snaps on offense. Philly had to rely more on the passing game against Chicago due to trailing for over three full quarters, […]


Saquon Barkley Looking to Snap Scoreless Streak

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has now gone four straight games without a touchdown, which is his longest scoring drought since 2021. Barkley has also seen a dip in usage over the last couple of weeks, averaging 11.5 carries in his last two outings compared to the 20 he was averaging in Weeks 7-11. […]


Jalen Hurts May Struggle to Pass Against Chargers

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw two touchdowns but partnered those with two turnovers in last Friday's 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears. Philly's offense has only managed to put up more than 20 points once in their last four games, and they'll have their hands full this week with a Chargers defense on Monday […]


Eagles D/ST Could Conquer Chicago's Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit looked great for most of their last game against the Cowboys, keeping them from scoring at all until the dying seconds of the first half and then holding them off again for almost all of the third quarter until they started crumbling. However, despite giving up 24 points, Philly […]


Jake Elliott Back to Being Unattractive Option

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott just gave fantasy managers whiplash, going from his highest-volume performance of the season in Week 11 to missing his lone field goal attempt in Week 12. Elliott will kick at home in his upcoming game against the Bears, who give up the sixth-most points per game (26.5) in the NFL […]


Dallas Goedert is Losing Fantasy Trust After Rough Stretch

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert let down once again last week, tallying his fifth straight performance with fewer than 50 yards. In fact, Goedert has only eclipsed that number once this season-in Week 6 when he finished with 110 yards. His once-remarkable touchdown streak now feels like a distant memory as he has failed […]


Darius Cooper Looking to Build Off of First Career Catches

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Darius Cooper recorded his first career stats this past week against the Dallas Cowboys, catching both of his targets for a total of seven yards. The undrafted rookie had his second-most snaps in a game this season, being on the field for 13 offensive plays. While these still aren't numbers that […]


DeVonta Smith a Strong Option if Healthy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, making it the second consecutive day that he's missed. Smith was able to find his rhythm again last week, being targeted 11 times for six catches and 89 yards, so it would be an unfortunate shot to any momentum he's built if […]


A.J. Brown has All the Momentum Heading into Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught his fourth touchdown of the season and his first in three weeks last Sunday against the Cowboys, while also setting a season high for receptions (eight) and eclipsing 100 yards for the third time this year. Brown has racked up 21 targets over his last two outings, and […]


Tank Bigsby Have More Opportunities on Friday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could get his breakout moment this Friday if Saquon Barkley (groin) is unable to suit up. Bigsby is the only Philly RB besides Barkley to get any carries in the last two weeks, and would likely get his number called as the next man up should the Eagles' primary […]


Saquon Barkley Primed for Bounce Back After Uncharacteristic Week?

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Barkley had his worst performance on the ground so far this season last week in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with 22 yards on 10 attempts. Luckily for fantasy managers, he was able to find success in the passing game […]


Jalen Hurts Slated for Solid Air and Ground Attack

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' Week 12 game against the Cowboys was the second time this season he's had multiple rushing touchdowns in a single game-the other being in Week 1 against the Cowboys. He could resort to using his legs some more in his upcoming meeting with the Bears on Friday, as Chicago allows […]


Eagles D/ST has Proven Themselves as Trustworthy Against Great Offenses

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit had another dominant showing last week against the Detroit Lions, giving up just nine points to one of the league's best offenses. Philly also tacked on two sacks and an interception on their impressive Sunday night. This defense has been on a roll lately, with their previous game seeing […]


Jake Elliott a Promising Streamer Option in Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had his most field goals made in a game so far this season last week against the Lions, nailing three of three and adding on an extra point for a perfect game. His longest make came from 49 yards out, so his performance didn't translate to a ton of fantasy […]


Dallas Goedert Should Be Trusted to Bust His Slump

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert couldn't get it going against the Lions, managing just two catches for 24 yards on five targets. After a couple troubling performances in a row, the question for Goedert boils down to this: have his scoring opportunities dried up, or is he due? He'll look to get out of […]


Darius Cooper's Usage Sees a Dip

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper last week logged his lowest snap count since returning from injury, getting on the field for just three plays against the Detroit Lions. Now past the halfway mark of the season, it's seeming more and more likely that Cooper will not see any catches before the 2025 campaign […]


DeVonta Smith Hoping for Serious Uptick after Letdown Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith could only haul in one of his five targets last week against Detroit, finishing with a season-worst eight yards. It's safe to say it can't get much worse than this for Smith, and a peak could be following this valley with his upcoming face-off against the Cowboys. Dallas has […]


A.J. Brown Looks Like Philly's WR1 Again Heading into Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown led his team in targets by a landslide last week, being thrown to 11 times while the next closest (Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith) had just five looks. Unfortunately, Brown's longest catch was for 12 yards and he totaled a mediocre 49 on the night. His seven catches made […]


Tank Bigsby Possibly the Best Handcuff Option on Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby was the only backup RB to record any stats for his team last week, getting four carries for 34 yards versus Detroit. At this point, it's a complete toss-up on who plays second fiddle to Saquon Barkley in the Philly backfield. Bigsby has shown promise with the time on […]


Saquon Barkley Has Serious Boom Potential in Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley set his season high for attempts last week against the Lions, carrying the ball 26 times for 83 yards. Given the opportunities, it wasn't a very productive game for Barkley and he'll try to turn things around this weekend against the Cowboys. One of his four rushing touchdowns this […]


Jalen Hurts A Top-Tier QB Option Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had another one-touchdown outing last week against the Lions, making for back-to-back underwhelming fantasy performances. Philly's offense has struggled overall in their last couple of games, but their woes should come to an end this Sunday as they have their second meeting with the Cowboys. Dallas gives up the most […]


Eagles D/ST Not the Smartest Play Against Dangerous Lions Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit managed to hold a Packers offense averaging 23.7 points per game to just seven points this past Monday, while forcing two fumbles and three sacks along the way. However, they'll have a tougher time finding the same stride in their upcoming meeting with the Lions. Detroit averages the second-most […]


Jake Elliott Unlikely to Break Out This Week

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his only extra point attempt and his only field goal attempt from 39 yards in his most recent performance against the Green Bay Packers. While Elliott found his accuracy again, he was not given enough opportunities to put up any significant fantasy numbers in a game that ended 10-7. […]


Dallas Goedert Worth Taking the Chance on in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert's six targets were second-most for his team in their last game, trailing only DeVonta Smith, who had seven. Unfortunately for Goedert, this was his third game of the season in which he did not score a touchdown, and he has relied heavily on finding the end zone to have […]


Darius Cooper Searching for First Career Catch Against Detroit

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper (shoulder) was listed as a full practice participant on Friday's injury report and appears to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Lions. Cooper saw his snap count decrease from a career-high 26 down to 11 between his last two games, and once again failed to […]


DeVonta Smith May Just be the Eagles' Best WR

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is looking more and more like the true first option in the Philly passing game after outperforming and out-snapping A.J. Brown against the Packers. Smith has now led his team in receiving yards in five of their nine contests-including the last three in a row-while Brown has done so […]


A.J. Brown a Shaky Starter After Another Concerning Performance

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had another frustrating performance against the Packers, with his three targets being the least amount of looks he's gotten in a game since Week 1. The only grace Brown can be granted is that this was his first playing time since Week 7's meeting with the Vikings, so maybe […]
