Don

260 articles

Having followed football for over 30 years, including six years as a player, and playing fantasy football for more than 25 years, Don brings extensive historical knowledge to his analysis. He has led a long-standing, high-stakes keeper league filled with professional comedy writers for over a decade, serving as its commissioner. This experience has made him skilled at managing complex league dynamics and at communicating his analysis clearly, even when he has to explain the same points multiple times to people who refuse even to skim his emails. As a fantasy football expert, Don loves combining advanced statistics with the "eye test" to spot outlier performances and potential league-winning gems, recognizing that raw numbers alone never tell the full story. Don's analytical approach is rooted in the reality of the game: recognizing that players and coaches are human, prone to variance, and that injuries are an unfortunate yet necessary catalyst for opportunity. His experience includes daily fantasy sports (DFS), where he enjoys navigating the strategic nuances between GPP and Cash lineups and making calculated player prop bets. He is continually working to improve, carefully reviewing his weekly advice to ensure maximum accuracy and using those insights to refine his projections for RotoBaller readers. Beyond fantasy sports, Don has a strong professional background in writing and performance that spans over 15 years, including acting, writing, and performing/teaching improvisational comedy. This broad experience in communication, storytelling, and writing likely helps him produce clear and engaging fantasy analysis. Being a father to two insane little humans keeps him focused on maintaining a healthy perspective, even when a pro-bowl receiver drops an easy dump-off that could have cashed a four-leg parlay, but instead rewards the prop betting gods with more of my foolishly earned money.

Cameron Dicker Faces Low-Scoring Projection, Remains a Low-End K1

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker remains a reliable option despite facing a Week 14 matchup that is expected to be one of the lowest-scoring games of the week. Dicker went 1-for-1 on field goals, hitting a 56-yarder, and was perfect on extra points last week against the Las Vegas Raiders. The drop from his […]


Oronde Gadsden Faces Tough Matchup on Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden faces a tough Week 14 challenge after the passing offense stalled following Justin Herbert's hand injury, leading to just one catch for 27 yards on two targets last week. Crucially, Gadsden failed to see a red-zone target for the second consecutive game after seeing 10 in the […]


Quentin Johnston Remains a TD-Dependent WR3 in Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is coming off a three-reception, 23-yard, one-touchdown game against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the passing attack still heavily depended on quick, short passes to compensate for issues along the offensive line. Johnston will face a tough matchup against Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, who ranks 10th in […]


Keenan Allen's Usage Concerns Persist Heading into Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen continues to see a decrease in usage, following a performance of four receptions for 30 yards on five targets against the Las Vegas Raiders, averaging just 7.5 yards per catch. His longest reception was only 10 yards, and his limited opportunities are further emphasized by having only one […]


Ladd McConkey Could Face Difficulties on Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey remains the most reliable target in the passing game heading into Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles, posting a 4-39-1 stat line on six targets last week. McConkey is quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to guy under pressure, commanding a team-high 20% target share and a 34% first-read rate. The […]


Trey Lance is a Low-End QB2 if he Starts on Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance is ready to step in if the questionable Justin Herbert (hand) is ruled out for the Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Lance briefly filled in last week against the Las Vegas Raiders, completing one pass for nine yards and rushing four times for four yards. The Eagles […]


Omarion Hampton Activated From IR, Faces Uncertain Workload Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) has been activated off Injured Reserve and is set to return to the field for Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing seven games with a fractured ankle. Before the injury, Hampton was impressive, averaging 4.8 YPC across five games. The matchup is favorable, […]


Kimani Vidal's Touches Expected to Decrease on Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal is about to face a major change in his workload after a strong performance last week, where he had 25 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. The ground game was heavily relied on after quarterback Justin Herbert fractured his hand, but rookie […]


Expect Limited Output From Justin Herbert if he Plays

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles after undergoing surgery to stabilize a fracture in his non-throwing (left) hand. Although he returned last week in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns, the offense […]


Keenan Allen Delivers Modest Line, QB Questions Loom Large

Los Angeles wide receiver Keenan Allen recorded a modest four catches for 30 yards on five targets in the team's 31-14 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Allen matched the team lead in receptions but provided little beyond sustaining drives. Over his last five games, he has only one red-zone target and saw fewer snaps […]


Jaret Patterson Punches in Touchdown, Fantasy Role on Borrowed Time

Los Angeles Chargers running back Jaret Patterson carried the ball 11 times for 54 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. After being signed to the active roster early last week, Patterson served as the primary back behind Kimani Vidal as the Chargers totaled 192 rushing yards and […]


Oronde Gadsden Cooling Off Fast, and Philly Could Make It Worse

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden recorded just one catch for 27 yards on two targets in the team's 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. This was Gadsden's lowest involvement since Week 5, as the Chargers focused almost entirely on the run after Justin Herbert's hand injury early in the game. Gadsden […]


Quentin Johnston Scores Early in Week 13, But Week 14 Could Get Ugly

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston rebounded from his Week 11 goose egg by scoring on the opening drive on Sunday, helping the Bolts beat the Las Vegas Raiders 31-14. Johnston finished with three catches for 23 yards and a touchdown. It was encouraging to see him involved early in the red zone, but […]


Ladd McConkey Remains Productive, but Week 14 Could Halt Momentum

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four passes for 39 yards and one touchdown, leading the team with six targets during their 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. With Justin Herbert managing a fractured non-throwing hand sustained early in the game, the Chargers relied heavily on the run game. They kept most […]


Rookie Tre' Harris Sees Increased Usage but Remains Fantasy Irrelevant

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris had a 52.1% snap share and ran the third-most routes he has all season, but he only caught one pass on one target for 12 yards in the team's Week 11 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Harris is still well behind the team's other pass-catchers in terms […]


Chargers D/ST Poised for Bounce-Back Game in Week 13

The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST enters Week 13 coming off a bye, which should help them recover from a poor performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where they recorded zero sacks and allowed 192 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. They face a struggling Las Vegas Raiders offense that just fired their Offensive Coordinator, […]


Cameron Dicker is a Reliable Kicker Heading into Week 13

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker went 2-for-2 on field goals in Week 11 despite the team's struggles on offense. The Chargers possessed the ball for only 22 minutes and reached the red zone once against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dicker now faces a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, whose middle-of-the-road defense has surprisingly allowed […]


Oronde Gadsden Faces Top-Five Tight End Defense in Week 13

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden faces a tough challenge in Week 13 after recording just two receptions for 41 yards on five targets against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Gadsden's production has declined recently, and he didn't have a red-zone target for the first time in five games, likely because quarterback […]


Quentin Johnston Remains a Boom-or-Bust WR4

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston enters Week 13 after posting his second game with zero receptions in four weeks, failing to catch any of his three targets against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnston's production depends heavily on deep targets and red-zone opportunities, but the team's severely injured offensive line has caused quarterback Justin Herbert […]


Keenan Allen's Zone Prowess Makes Him a Sneaky Flex Play

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was a rare bright spot in the team's disastrous loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, leading the team with four receptions for 53 yards on six targets. Despite his route rate recently increasing, Allen's target rate has stabilized at around five targets per game, and he has only seen […]


Ladd McConkey's Success Against Zone Coverage Should Lead to a Bounce-Back

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey seems poised for a strong bounce-back week after a quiet performance in Week 11, where he caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. McConkey faces a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense that ranks middle-of-the-road against the pass. […]


Kimani Vidal's Usage Should Remain Elite Heading into Week 13

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal is expected to see significant usage in Week 13 after rushing for only 13 yards on five carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Teammate Hassan Haskins (hamstring) remains on IR, and rookie Omarion Hampton (ankle) has been ruled out, even though the team opened his 21-day […]


Justin Herbert Set for Bounce-Back Game, Remains a Low-End QB1

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert enters Week 13 eager for a bounce-back after his worst performance of the season in Week 11. In the team's disappointing 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Herbert completed just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and threw an interception before being benched early, marking his first game […]


Kimani Vidal Struggles Again and Faces Role Uncertainty After Bye

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal carried the ball five times for 13 yards and caught two passes for -1 yards in the team's worst offensive showing of the year with a 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He briefly left the game with a thigh injury before returning, but the offense never found […]


Keenan Allen is the Only Productive Charger in Ugly Week 11 Loss

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was the only bright spot in the team's disastrous 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, posting four receptions for 53 yards on six targets. He led the team in every receiving category on a day when Justin Herbert threw for just 81 yards, and the offense gained only […]


Ladd McConkey Quiet in Team-Wide Collapse

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The entire offense was ineffective, with Justin Herbert passing for only 81 yards, and the Chargers holding the ball for just 22 minutes. After scoring four touchdowns in his last […]


Justin Herbert has the Worst Game of his Career Before Much-Needed Bye

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his worst performance of the season in the team's 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and an interception before being pulled from the game in the second half. It was the first game this season without a passing touchdown […]


Quentin Johnston Posts Zero Catches During Offensive Collapse

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had no catches on three targets in Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was his second game with zero catches this season, but the entire offense struggled throughout the game. The Chargers only ran 45 plays, possessed the ball for 22 minutes, gained just 135 yards, […]


Cameron Dicker Continues to Be an Elite Option Going Into Week 11

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, who has missed only two field goals all season, remains a highly accurate and reliable fantasy option. This week, he heads to Jacksonville, where the game is expected to be played in pleasant 77-degree sunny weather at kickoff, ideal conditions for a kicker. Against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that […]


Chargers D/ST Could be a Sneaky Streaming Option in Week 11

The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, recording three sacks, two interceptions (including rookie RJ Mickens' second of the season), and a safety via Khalil Mack. They also showed strength against the run, allowing only 73 yards. This unit now faces an inconsistent Jacksonville Jaguars offense led by Trevor Lawrence, who […]
