Way Too Early NFL Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 Teams Stand?

With the NFL Combine kicking off this week, that means it's officially time to start thinking about the 2024 NFL season. After the Kansas City Chiefs finished off their Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers, teams didn't waste time turning the page to the next year, so neither will we. Teams like the […]

NFL Divisional Round Power Rankings: Where Do All 8 Teams Stand?

As we head into the NFL Divisional Round, we now have a stacked group of eight teams left that should make up a fantastic four-game slate this weekend. Some favorites won, but other underdogs surprised in their games over the first weekend, so how do we rank them before the first game kicks off on […]

NFL Playoffs Power Rankings: Where Do All 14 NFL Teams Stand?

As we head into the NFL postseason, some teams are riding high and others are barely able to keep a team healthy enough for the playoffs. 14 teams qualified for the playoffs, but how do we rank them before the first game kicks off on Saturday? Teams like the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams […]

NFL Week 18 Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 NFL Teams Stand?

As we head into the last week of the NFL season, we know exactly what teams are playing for at this point. Injuries, inefficiencies, and mega-popstar distractions have impacted NFL teams in different ways through the league's first 17 weeks.

Amari Cooper - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Betting Picks

Jets vs. Browns TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Joe Flacco, Jerome Ford, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore, David Njoku

What was originally conceived as a Deshaun Watson vs. Aaron Rodgers matchup for two playoff-caliber teams will look wildly different for Thursday Night Football in Week 17. Instead, our fantasy football championship week will start with a Joe Flacco revenge game as the New York Jets visit the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland will be in the […]

NFL Week 16 Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 NFL Teams Stand?

As we head into the last three weeks of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better sense of who these 32 teams are. Injuries, inefficiencies, and mega-popstar distractions have impacted NFL teams in different ways through the league's first 15 weeks. On the other hand, there have been some major positive surprises […]


Cooper Kupp - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Targets

Saints vs. Rams TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, more

I'm willing to bet that the final score of the Week 16 Thursday Night Football game will not be as lopsided as last week's 63-21 score where the Raiders dismantled the Chargers. For this week, we have a mostly clean bill of health for our fantasy football contributors and both teams have massive amounts of […]


Austin Ekeler - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Chargers vs. Raiders TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Easton Stick, Austin Ekeler, Joshua Palmer, Gerald Everett, Josh Jacobs, Jakobi Meyers

If you made it to Week 15 Thursday Night Football still caring about your fantasy football teams, congratulations! However, if you made it to Thursday Night Football absolutely relying on some of the players in this game, it may be time to pump the brakes. What better way for bowl season to kick off than […]

NFL Week 15 Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 NFL Teams Stand?

As we head into the fourth month of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better sense of who these 32 teams are. Injuries, inefficiencies, and mega-popstar distractions have impacted NFL teams in different ways through the league's first 14 weeks.

Diontae Johnson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Patriots vs. Steelers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Ezekiel Elliott, Demario Douglas, Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, Diontae Johnson, and More

If the last three Thursdays have been the first three courses of some fantasy fine dining, Week 14's matchup between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers is the unappetizing platter to finish off the meal. After Bengals-Ravens, Thanksgiving, and then the epic Seattle-Dallas bonanza last week, this week we get Bailey Zappe vs. Mitch […]


AJ Brown - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

NFL Week 13 Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 NFL Teams Stand?

As we head into the fourth month of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better sense of who these 32 teams are. Injuries, inefficiencies, and mega-popstar distractions have impacted NFL teams in different ways through the league's first twelve weeks. On the other hand, there have been some major positive surprises and […]


Dak Prescott - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Seahawks vs. Cowboys TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Tony Pollard, Jake Ferguson, Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Zach Charbonnet, more

Thursday Night Football for Week 13 will be a tale of two teams headed in opposite directions. The Dallas Cowboys are winners of five of their last six games, and those five wins have come with an average margin of victory of 23.2 points. The Seattle Seahawks, on the other hand, have lost three of […]


CeeDee Lamb - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

Thanksgiving Thursday Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - AJ Dillion, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Brandin Cooks, Tony Pollard, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf

Happy Thanksgiving, and welcome to the RotoBaller Thanksgiving Thursday start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 12! Many - including myself - believe Thanksgiving is the single best football day of the year, and 2023 gives us three compelling matchups to fill us up all day long. That is, of course, if the turkey and […]

Zay Flowers - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Bengals vs. Ravens TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon, Tyler Boyd, Lamar Jackson, Keaton Mitchell, Gus Edwards, more

This is the Thursday Night Football game we have been waiting on for fantasy. We had to endure all of the Bears/Panthers, Steelers/Titans, Bears/Commanders, and 49ers/Giants debacles so we could have this masterpiece. Something to be thankful for a week before Thanksgiving is the Cincinnati Bengals visiting the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. Just a […]


Chuba Hubbard - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Panthers vs. Bears TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Bryce Young, Chuba Hubbard, Adam Thielen, Miles Sanders, D.J. Moore, Cole Kmet, more

Welcome to the "Chicago Wins No Matter What Bowl" for Week 10 of NFL Thursday Night Football! The two teams, who pulled off a blockbuster trade that essentially became DJ Moore and a bunch of picks for Bryce Young will face each other on Thursday night with both seasons headed down the toilet. However, the […]


NFL Week 9 Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 NFL Teams Stand?

As we head into the third month of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better sense of who these 32 teams are. Injuries, inefficiencies, and mega-popstar distractions have impacted NFL teams in different ways through the league's first eight weeks.

Will Levis - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Titans vs. Steelers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Derrick Henry, Kenny Pickett, Will Levis, Tyjae Spears, DeAndre Hopkins, Jaylen Warren

If you weren't already excited enough about a Week 9 matchup between the under-achieving Pittsburgh Steelers and the identity-seeking Tennessee Titans for Thursday night football, would some Kenny Pickett vs. Will Levis help get you there? In what was originally shaping up to be the most Thursday Night Football-ish game ever, we will at least […]


Josh Allen - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Buccaneers vs. Bills TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Rachaad White, James Cook, Gabe Davis, Dalton Kincaid, more

Both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Buffalo Bills enter Thursday Night Football coming off disappointing losses last week. Neither team was able to make the explosive offensive plays in their respective matchups and will look to right the ship as they meet in Buffalo tonight. Both teams also enter Week 8 just one game […]

Travis Etienne Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Jaguars vs. Saints TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Evan Engram, Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley, Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, more

Thursday Night Football, Week 7 edition, features the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the New Orleans Saints, which means we might be getting a matchup between the best teams of the AFC South and the NFC South. Or we might not. Who can really say with these two mediocre divisions which feature just one team among their […]


Patrick Mahomes - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Broncos vs. Chiefs TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Travis Kelce, Isiah Pacheco, Jaleel McLaughlin, Rashee Rice, Russell Wilson, Jerry Jeudy, more

Are we really about to have another Thursday Night Football game with the Kansas City Chiefs where we have to worry about Travis Kelce missing the game? Fantasy managers might finally abandon the night altogether if that happens after Kelce missed the season opener with a knee injury, but it does look like the first-round […]


Christian McCaffrey - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

NFL Week 5 Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 NFL Teams Stand?

As we head into the second month of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better sense of who these 32 teams are. Injuries, inefficiencies, and mega pop-star distractions have impacted NFL teams in different ways through the league's first four weeks.

Justin Fields - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Bears vs. Commanders TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Justin Fields, D.J. Moore, Khalil Herbert, Cole Kmet, Sam Howell, Brian Robinson, more

For those who love to hate-watch Thursday Night Football, this matchup with the Chicago Bears visiting the Washington Commanders was picked especially for you! Start with two lackluster teams, and add in a lack of true attractive fantasy options, and you have a recipe for uninterested fans. This is the NFL betting degenerate game of […]


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

Lions vs. Packers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Jared Goff, Sam LaPorta, Jordan Love, Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Romeo Doubs, Luke Musgrave

Our string of two straight Thursday Night Football bangers came to an end last week when the San Francisco 49ers trampled all over the New York Giants, so we now turn our attention to an NFC North clash between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. Both of these teams have retooled in the […]


Brock Purdy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Giants vs. 49ers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Daniel Jones, Matt Brieda, Darren Waller, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Brock Purdy

Our string of two straight Thursday Night Football bangers likely comes to an end this week when the injury-plagued New York Giants visit the San Franciso 49ers. Last week's Vikings-Eagles matchup turned into a fantasy bonanza, and while that might be the case for the 49ers in Week 3, it's hard to make a case […]


Jalen Hurts - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Sleepers

Vikings vs. Eagles TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Justin Jefferson, Alexander Mattison, T.J. Hockenson, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith, Kenneth Gainwell, D'Andre Swift

Could it possibly be that we have two straight intriguing games for Thursday Night Football to start the season? The NFL has really tried to do a better job of showcasing their best teams in this primetime spot in 2023. After so many years of horrific Titans-Jaguars debacles, it's not until October 5 when the […]


T.J. Hockenson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Path to Overall Fantasy Football TE1: T.J. Hockenson In The Best Spot Of His Career

Two years before the Atlanta Falcons made headlines by selecting a certain tight end number four overall in the 2021 draft, the Detroit Lions made a similarly bold move when they selected T.J. Hockenson out of Iowa at number eight overall. Fast forward four seasons and Hockenson is now a member of the Minnesota Vikings […]
