Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 11)

The fantasy baseball season is about one month from the MLB All-Star Game, which means we have officially turned the corner from "early season" to "dog days of summer." What we see now with players might just be what we get when it comes to the hitters on our fantasy baseball rosters. Adjusting to this […]

5 Undervalued Hitters and Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 10): Players That Are Underowned

One thing that will always be true about fantasy baseball is that your team will constantly need help from the waiver wire. Whether it's from injuries, poor performances, demotions, or role changes, the team we drafted is never the same one that helps propel us up the standings throughout the year. Players like Rhys Hoskins, […]

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 10)

We are getting to the point of the fantasy baseball season where there are certain thresholds a player must have to even sniff the top-10 hitters for 2025. Around 40 runs and 40 RBI are a must. In most cases, 15 or more home runs are required, and if you don't have those, you'd better […]


Rafael Devers - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS Picks

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 9)

For the first time this season, a certain player shows up in the top 10 of fantasy baseball hitters, and this player had an abysmal start to the season. This player was so bad to start the year that fantasy managers were wondering about injury, offseason drama, position changes, and any other reasonable excuse to […]


Pete Crow-Armstrong - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 8)

It's often said that fantasy baseball leagues are not won in the first round. Still, they can be lost in that round if you swing and miss on a player that early, especially considering the opportunity cost of other players in that spot. For the most part, the list of the top 10 fantasy baseball […]


Corbin Carroll - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 7)

We are getting to the point of the fantasy baseball season where there are certain thresholds a player must have to even sniff the top-10 hitters for 2025. Around 30 runs and 30 RBI are a must. Double-digit home runs are required in most cases, and if you don't have those, you'd better have a […]


Elly De La Cruz - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 6)

Offenses are back for the Week 6 edition of our Top 10 Hitters series for fantasy baseball and the 2025 season. Every team in Major League Baseball has now played approximately 20% of their games in the 2025 season. While offense and hitting in general often lag behind pitching to start the season, runs are […]


Brice Turang - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 5)

The Week 5 edition of our Top 10 Hitters series for fantasy baseball and the 2025 season is upon us. What has changed with fantasy baseball hitters over the last week? As the weather heats up, offenses will also start being more productive, and some of the slumping hitters (looking at you, Mookie Betts!) should […]


Triston Casas - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Don't Drop Them - Players to Hold for Fantasy Baseball Week 5

Even four weeks of a fantasy baseball season is a small sample from which to make conclusions. Our fantasy baseball rosters might be feeling the impact of players who have started slowly, but the season is long, and we are only less than one-sixth of the way through it. When injuries or slow starts hit, […]


Corbin Carroll - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB News, Draft Kit

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2025 Fantasy Baseball (Week 4)

It's time for the Week 4 edition of our Top 10 Hitters series for fantasy baseball and the 2025 season. Every team in Major League Baseball has now played approximately 25 games in the 2025 season. While it is still early, a sufficient sample size has emerged to begin examining performances around baseball and identifying […]

5 Fantasy Baseball Cut Candidates: Players On the Hot Seat Who Need To Produce In Week 3 (2025)

When all we have to react to in a fantasy baseball season is two weeks of data, it's hard not to draw quick conclusions. Just because a player is on a hot streak or cold streak to start a season doesn't mean that's what the next six months will look like. But for some players […]


Jose Alvarado - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Closers and Saves Fantasy Baseball Risers, Fallers - Bullpen Battles for Week 2

The 2025 fantasy baseball season is about one week old, and fantasy managers are already in mid-season form, scrambling for saves from closers. Many of the top players taken in weekend waiver wires were speculative closers and replacements for wrong guesses made during draft season. Even with several games under each team's respective belt, some […]


Owen Caissie - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Call-Ups

Top Outfield Fantasy Baseball Prospect Breakouts and Stashes (2025)

Most Major League Baseball rosters are set as Opening Day (the domestic version) approaches on March 27th. That means that some hopeful prospects (such as players like Cam Smith) made their teams, some (like Jasson Dominguez and Dylan Crews) knew they were making it all along, while still others don't get to realize their big […]

Third Base Fantasy Baseball Bust Candidates - Players to Consider Avoiding in Drafts

With Opening Day nearly here, we are in the thick of the fantasy baseball draft season. Fantasy baseball sleepers and busts lists are here. Depth charts are being updated. It's a wonderful time of year when almost any team or player looks like they have the potential to add value in fantasy baseball leagues. But […]

Spring Training Risers and Fallers for Fantasy Baseball - Hitter ADP Trends

When considering risers and fallers in fantasy baseball drafts, there are many reasons why a player could be moving up or down. Team injuries, context, performance in spring training, playing time concerns, and roster additions are all reasons to impact a player's ADP in fantasy baseball. In this piece, before the season starts, we'll focus […]


Christian Yelich - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS Picks, Betting Picks

Outfield Fantasy Baseball Bust Candidates To Avoid In 2025 Drafts

This time of the fantasy baseball season, no one wants to talk about busts. It's spring training, and hope springs eternal for all teams, players, and fantasy baseball rosters. But the simple truth is that some players are not going to live up to their ADP from this month. Injuries, inconsistencies, job changes, and plenty […]


D'Andre Swift - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Seahawks vs. Bears TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Geno Smith, Zach Charbonnet, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, D'Andre Swift

We made it to the last Thursday Night Football game of the year! In most fantasy football leagues, this is the last week and just the championship matchup remains. The Christmas Day games and Thursday Night Football kick off an incredible slate of games. While the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Christmas Day Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Russell Wilson, George Pickens, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, Joe Mixon

Happy Holiday and welcome to a new NFL experiment: Wednesday games on Christmas day! For fantasy football, these two games come at a very unusual time as they fall on championship week for most leagues. In addition, the two games feature four of the top five teams in the AFC at the moment and offer […]


Courtland Sutton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Broncos vs. Chargers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Bo Nix, Courtland Sutton, Javonte Williams, Justin Herbert, Gus Edwards, Kimani Vidal, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston

While it's impossible to predict what will happen on Thursday Night Football between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, I can almost guarantee that there will be more points scored than last week. Fantasy football was blessed by many incredible Thursday Night Football games this season, but last week was far and away the […]


Puka Nacua - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Rams vs. 49ers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Deebo Samuel, Matthew Stafford, Isaac Guerendo, Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson, Brock Purdy, Tutu Atwell

The 2024 fantasy football playoffs are officially upon us and they kick off with the Los Angeles Rams visiting the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Both teams are coming off dominant offensive performances (Rams scored 44 points in Week 14, 49ers scored 38), and this matchup could not be more important for NFL […]


Amon-Ra St. Brown - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Packers vs. Lions TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Josh Jacobs, Jordan Love, Jayden Reed, David Montgomery, Jared Goff, Sam LaPorta, Jameson Williams, Tucker Kraft

If you didn't get enough of the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers last Thursday on Thanksgiving, don't worry! Week 14 features the two teams on Thursday Night Football again and there is no shortage of fantasy football assets to deploy here in this important NFC North divisional matchup. If the Packers want any shot […]


DeVon Achane - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL DFS Picks, Injury News

Thanksgiving Thursday Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - David Montgomery, Caleb Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Malik Nabers, Sam LaPorta, Jonnu Smith, Christian Watson

Happy Thanksgiving, and welcome to the RotoBaller Thanksgiving Thursday start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 13! Many - including myself - believe Thanksgiving is the single best football day of the year, and 2024 gives us three compelling matchups (well, maybe two plus the Cowboys versus Giants) to fill us up all day long. […]


George Pickens - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL injury News

Steelers vs. Browns TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Jameis Winston, Nick Chubb, David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Russell Wilson, Najee Harris, George Pickens

The Week 12 TNF game between two bitter AFC North rivals (Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers) is not likely to end up like the Thursday night game from two weeks ago when two different AFC North teams (Bengals and Ravens) battled to a 35-34 shootout. Somewhere deep in the charter of the Pittsburgh Steelers, I […]


AJ Brown - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS and Betting Picks

Commanders vs. Eagles TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Brian Robinson, A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith

After last week's 35-34 edge-of-your-seat matchup between Baltimore and Cincinnati, what can the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles do in Week 11 for some kind of encore for fantasy football managers? This game promises a lot of top-end talent with immense upside, but very little in terms of borderline plays. Will we get an exciting […]


Derrick Henry - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Bengals vs. Ravens TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Diontae Johnson, Chase Brown, Mike Gesicki, Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Tee Higgins, more

Week 10 for Thursday Night Football brings us the first rematch between two opponents for this prime-time spot in 2024. If you recall, the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens competed in an offensive explosion in Week 5 that eventually saw the Ravens eke out a 41-38 win. Joe Burrow threw five touchdowns in that game. […]


Breece Hall - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Texans vs. Jets TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz, Aaron Rodgers, Breece Hall, Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson

The Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup is a tale of two teams heading in opposite directions. Despite adding pieces over the last 18 months, the Jets are near the bottom of the AFC with a 2-6 record. They have acquired Aaron Rodgers, Braelon Allen, and Davante Adams, and added back Haason Reddick over the […]


Vikings vs. Rams TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Sam Darnold, T.J. Hockenson, Jordan Addison, Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford, Ty Chandler, Tutu Atwell

Thursday Night Football in Week 8 might bring some much-needed fantasy football help to rosters considering all of the injuries of the last two weeks. Three huge stars -- Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and T.J. Hockenson -- might make their respective returns in this exciting game between the Minnesota Vikings and L.A. Rams. (UPDATE: T.J. […]


Bo Nix - Fantasy Football Rankings, QB, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Broncos vs. Saints TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Courtland Sutton, Javonte Williams, Bo Nix, Spencer Rattler, Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and more

I hope you have been enjoying the days of Thursday Night Football games between the 49ers and Seahawks, Buccaneers and Falcons, and Cowboys and Giants. This matchup in Week 7 for Thursday night might be the least appealing of the year considering the lack of fantasy options and many injuries. We are officially now in […]


49ers vs. Seahawks TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Brock Purdy, Jordan Mason, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III, DK Metcalf, more

Thursday Night Football for Week 6 presents two bitter rivals from an NFC West division that has been turned on its head since the start of the 2024 NFL season. Many of the fantasy football options from this division (Christian McCaffrey, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Trey McBride) have been hurt or have underperformed. In […]


Mike Evans - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Buccaneers vs. Falcons TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Baker Mayfield, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, Drake London, Cade Otton, Kyle Pitts

For the fourth week in a row, Thursday Night Football with feature an intra-divisional game, this time between the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams feature top-end fantasy football options, including multiple wide receivers, a premier running back, and two quarterbacks on the ascent. Tight ends? We will have to see about […]
