I have been playing fantasy sports since I was in college and have been writing about fantasy football (along with baseball and hockey) for 30 years now. I have had fantasy articles published on the websites for ESPN, Bleacher Report, SportsFan Radio, and the Hockey News, and have now been writing with RotoBaller for almost five years. I have been honored to have written the weekly "Tight End Waiver Wire Column" for RotoBaller the past four years. I have also written a short story collection called "10 Tales To Make Your Head Explode" that was featured on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and a children's book titled "Jeepers" that is currently used by schools around the country in second-grade classrooms. My poetry and short stories have been featured in various magazines over the years as well, so fantasy football is not the only writing I do, but it is easily the most fun. Feel free to follow me on Twitter at @craigrondinone. Thanks for reading my columns and articles and visiting RotoBaller!

Is Tee Higgins Injured or Playing In Week 10? Should I Start Trenton Irwin For Fantasy Football?

Cincinnati signal caller Joe Burrow is finally 100 percent after battling a cranky calf injury early in the season. Unfortunately, his receiving corps is not at 100 percent. Top target Ja’Marr Chase is batting a bad back and is questionable to play this Sunday against the Houston Texans. No. 2 WR Tee Higgins was fine […]


Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 10 TE Pickups Include Taysom Hill, Jonnu Smith, Hunter Henry, Trey McBride and More!

Week 10 is going to leave fantasy footballers without the best tight end in fantasy football. Thankfully, there are a potpourri of long-term and short-term options at the position on the fantasy waiver wire. Kansas City’s Travis Kelce will have a week to jet set with girlfriend Taylor Swift. Maybe he can take her to […]


Should I Pickup Hunter Henry For Week 10? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

Millions of fantasy footballers and Taylor Swift fans are going to be disappointed this week. That is because Kansas City’s Travis Kelce, the hands-down best tight end in fantasy football, is on bye. He will be racking up frequent-flyer miles with T-Sizzle instead of racking up receptions for his fantasy managers. Replacing him is an […]


Taysom Hill - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Tight Ends Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Week 9 TE Pickups Include Trey McBride, Taysom Hill, Jake Ferguson, more

Week 8 was easy for fantasy football managers. Week 9 will not be as easy, especially at the tight end position. The bye weeks are back in full force. Fantasy footballers will be without San Francisco’s George Kittle, Detroit’s Sam LaPorta, and Jacksonville’s Evan Engram since they are all off. New York’s Darren Waller injured […]

Should I Pickup Kendrick Bourne? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

The New England Patriots are not normally a one-stop shop for fantasy football managers looking for wide receiver help. The Pats are ranked 21st in passing offense, quarterback Mac Jones has been on the verge of getting yanked off the field in many games, and the team has no pass catchers like Randy Moss, Wes […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Football Adds for Week 8

Welcome back to our fantasy football tight end waiver wire pickups for Week 8. After a couple of weeks where bye weeks were ruining the rosters of fantasy footballers, we now get a surprise reprieve. I am not sure why the NFL schedule makers did this, but no teams are on bye this week. Maybe […]


Jimmy Garoppolo - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Jimmy Garoppolo Playing In Week 7? Should I Pickup and Start Brian Hoyer For Fantasy Football?

Jimmy Garoppolo has not done anybody any fantasy football favors this season. In fact, the best favor he could do for the fantasy managers who have rostered him is to miss a week so they can use somebody else at quarterback. Garoppolo has done the unthinkable – make Las Vegas Raiders fans wish Derek Carr […]


Should I Drop Tyler Higbee In Week 7? Fantasy Football Outlook

For a five-game period in 2019, Tyler Higbee played like one of the best tight ends in the NFL and parlayed that hot streak into a multimillion-dollar contract. Fantasy football managers have been waiting four years for him to play like again, but I think it is finally time to give up on that. Higbee […]


Logan Thomas - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7: Top Free Agent Adds Include Logan Thomas, Cole Kmet, Dalton Schultz, Michael Mayer

Week 7 is going to lay a hurtin’ on millions of fantasy football rosters. A half-dozen NFL teams are on bye this week, slashing the number of helpful players on the waiver wire just when fantasy footballers need help the most. The best tight end out of action this week is Houston’s Dalton Schultz, who […]


Dalton Schultz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6: Top Free Agent Adds Include Dalton Schultz, Logan Thomas, Cole Kmet, Zach Ertz

The Week 6 bye is much kinder to fantasy footballers than the Week 5 bye was. Pittsburgh’s Pat Freiermuth and Green Bay’s Luke Musgrave are the only two tight ends on bye this week, so most fantasy football managers will not have to pick up a one-week stopgap at the position. Freiermuth has a hamstring […]


Logan Thomas - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5: Top Free Agent Adds Include Cole Kmet, Jake Ferguson, Logan Thomas

The first week of bye weeks are here! If you are a fantasy football general manager, this is when you are put to the test. If a myriad of injuries did not already test the depth of talent on your fantasy roster, now throw in teams being on bye! Four teams are off in Week […]


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

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4: Top Free Agent Adds Include Sam LaPorta, Juwan Johnson, Gerald Everett, more

Week 3 might have been great for Travis Kelce, but it was not great for most tight ends. While Kelce was scoring touchdowns and having Taylor Swift cheer for him in the press box, other tight ends were having problems getting out of the blocks. The position is a little light on talent at the […]


Zach Ertz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Zach Ertz (TE, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Ertz has proven throughout his amazing career that he can catch passes from anyone. It does not matter if it is a Pro Bowl player or Joshua Dobbs tossing him the rock. Ertz will make the catches when he is aimed […]


Luke Musgrave - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Luke Musgrave (TE, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No Aaron Rodgers, no problem. No Robert Tonyan, no problem. The Jordan Love Era has arrived, and so has the Musgrave Era. The rookie tight end has 11 receptions for 124 yards over his first three games in the NFL. His learning […]


Jake Ferguson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL News

Jake Ferguson (TE, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jake Fergusonis not making Cowboys fans and fantasy managers forget about the days of Jason Witten, but he somehow received as many targets as CeeDee Lamb against Arizona. You could blame that on bad play-calling or great defense.   No other player in […]


Hayden Hurst - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Hayden Hurst (TE, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a promising start to the season with 41 yards and a TD on five catches in Week 1, Hayden Hurst has failed to produce relevant fantasy production over Carolina's last two games. While filling in for Bryce Young in Week 3, […]


Gerald Everett - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Gerald Everett (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While tight-end teammate Donald Parham Jr. catches the touchdowns, Gerald Everett does the dirty work within the other 99 yards on the field. Everett has hauled in 11 of 12 targets for 98 yards this year and should get a higher target […]


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

Juwan Johnson (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Normally when a starting signal-caller goes down, it does not bode well for the fantasy values of his pass-catchers. However, that might not be true for Saints tight end Juwan Johnson, since he has had success with Jameis Winston in the past. […]


Raheem Mostert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Should I Start Raheem Mostert in Week 3? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

The running back pool in fantasy football is getting thinner than someone who cuts out carbs. With Saquon Barkley, Austin Ekeler, Nick Chubb, J.K. Dobbins and Aaron Jones all suffering injuries, it has never been more important than to make the right decisions with the running backs on your fantasy roster. That is why one […]


Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3: Top Free Agent Adds Include Hunter Henry, Sam LaPorta, Juwan Johnson, Zach Ertz

This may be a week where millions of fantasy football managers try to upgrade the tight end position on their teams. Week 2 did a job on many of fantasy football’s top tight ends. Washington’s Logan Thomas was concussed. San Francisco’s George Kittle was a non-factor again. Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert averaged 3.7 yards per catch […]


Hayden Hurst - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Hayden Hurst (TE, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do not forget about picking up Hayden Hurst in Week 3 with his plus matchup against the Seahawks. He looked good in his first outing as a Panther when he posted a 5-41-1 line. The 30-year-old followed up his Week 1 performance […]


Zach Ertz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Zach Ertz (TE, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Ertz might be on the tail end of his storied career, but the longtime fantasy stalwart is still delivering numbers for his fantasy managers. He has been better than most fantasy pundits thought he would be this year, thanks in part […]


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

Juwan Johnson (TE, NOS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Juwan Johnson has proven that he can score touchdowns no matter who is throwing him the ball. Johnson found the end zone last year with Andy Dalton, Jameis Winston, and Taysom Hill taking turns tossing passes his way.   Week 2 Waiver […]


Luke Musgrave - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Luke Musgrave (TE, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looks like Green Bay might make the right decision to move forward with Jordan Love as its franchise quarterback, and they also seemingly made the right decision in drafting Luke Musgrave to be their tight end for the present and future. […]


Hunter Henry (TE, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Hunter Henry was able to fend off Jonnu Smith from ruining his fantasy value in 2021 and 2022 when both signed multimillion-dollar contracts with the Patriots, and now he is doing the same with new tight end teammate Mike Gesicki. Henry has […]


Zay Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Should I Start Zay Jones in Week 2? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones picked up in Week 1 right where he left off at the end of the 2022 NFL season. Zay Jones moving the ball to one hand so he can use the spike arm to reduce impact and maintain possession through the groundSeminar material. #ArrogantHands pic.twitter.com/1RZDL7aVuV— JetPack Galileo (@JetPackGalileo) September […]


Hayden Hurst - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Hayden Hurst (TE, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The jury is out on how well Carolina’s offense will do this year with rookie phenom Bryce Young at the helm, but offseason addition Hayden Hurst got off to an encouraging start with his new team in the 2023 season opener against Atlanta. […]


Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2: Top Free Agent Adds Include Hayden Hurst, Hunter Henry, Sam LaPorta, Jake Ferguson

One week down, 17 more to go in the chaotic world of fantasy football. Week 1 had its fair share of fantasy ups and downs at the tight end position. Kansas City’s Travis Kelce missed only the fourth game of his storied career on Thursday night, and Baltimore’s Mark Andrews missed his Sunday contest with […]


Jake Ferguson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL News

Jake Ferguson (TE, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dalton Schultz is history, and Ferguson’s fantasy value is a mystery, yet Dak Prescott’s new top tight end had his moments on Sunday Night Football against the New York Giants. Ferguson was not able to muster much (11 yards), but he was […]


Irv Smith Jr. (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I could spin this and say that Irv Smith Jr. had more catches and yards than Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd combined and make his Week 1 effort sound better than it was. The truth is that Smith Jr.’s three grabs for 17 […]
