Don

190 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.

Tory Horton Electric in Two-Touchdown Day

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton had a breakout performance in Sunday's 44-13 blowout of the New Orleans Saints. He returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, marking the longest punt return in Seahawks franchise history. He also added a receiving touchdown on a 14-yard fade from quarterback Sam […]


J.K. Dobbins Scores Again in Loss

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins delivered a solid performance in Week 3 despite his team's last-second 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Dobbins was effective on the ground, rushing for 83 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, including a 41-yard run that helped set up his score. He also recorded one catch […]


Keenan Allen Scores Crucial Touchdown, Becoming the Team's No. 1 WR

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen delivered another reliable performance in the team's last-second 20-23 win over the Denver Broncos, hauling in seven of 11 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. The veteran once again proved to be quarterback Justin Herbert's most trusted option, especially against an elite Broncos' secondary, leading the team […]


Jaxon Smith-Njigba Added to the Injury Report, Questionable With Illness

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (illness) has been added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, according to Seahawks PR. The Seahawks' WR1 has had a strong start, ranking second in the league in receiving yards with 227 on 17 receptions. He also leads […]


Travis Hunter's Usage is a "Work in Progress"

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter's impact has been limited through the first two games of the season, according to a report from Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Although the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft saw increased snaps on both sides of the ball in Week 2, his overall usage is […]


Isaiah Likely Has Been Ruled Out for Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Detroit Lions. The young tight end, who broke his foot in training camp and underwent surgery to repair it, has been limited to individual drills at practice all week. Although he was not placed on Injured Reserve, which […]


Kaleb Johnson Likely to be Inactive on Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson is expected to be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game, according to a source at Steelers Depot. The team elevated running back Trey Sermon from the practice squad on Saturday, a strong indication that Johnson will be a healthy scratch. The third-round pick out of Iowa has had […]


D'Andre Swift Expected to Play Sunday

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Swift was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable. Through the first two games, Swift has carried 29 times for 116 yards and one touchdown, plus six catches […]


Rookie Oronde Gadsden Could See the Field Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden is now in line to be active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos after veteran Will Dissly (knee) was ruled out. The fifth-round pick out of Syracuse, who had a strong senior year with 73 catches for 934 yards and seven touchdowns, has been a healthy […]


Tre' Harris Looks for an Expanded Role Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris was more involved in Week 2, catching two passes for 34 yards on three targets in Monday night's win against the Las Vegas Raiders. He increased his snap share from 7.9% to 30.4% and ran eight routes (27.6% of snaps). The rookie will face a tough Denver […]


Keenan Allen Remains a Strong Flex Play Despite Tough Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen again made an impact in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He remains reliable and continues to earn quarterback Justin Herbert's trust in crucial moments, especially in the red zone, where he has a […]


Quentin Johnston Aims to Keep Being a Red-Zone Threat

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston led his team in receiving yards for the second consecutive week and scored his third touchdown of the season in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He caught three of his seven targets for 71 yards, highlighted by a 60-yard touchdown just before halftime. His 66.7% […]


Ladd McConkey Good to Go for Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught all five of his targets for 48 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in the team's 20-9 win on Monday night. He has been reliable through two weeks, but hasn't received a single red-zone target, which limits his touchdown potential. McConkey was a DNP on Wednesday with […]


Will Dissly Ruled Out for Sunday With a Knee Injury

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos due to a possible right MCL sprain, an injury he sustained during the team's Monday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran tight end had one catch for seven yards before leaving the game […]


Another Strong Week Ahead for Cameron Dicker

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker had another perfect night in the team's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, making two field goals and converting both extra points for an eight-point night. Dicker will face a tough Denver Broncos defense and may need to rely on his leg and accuracy throughout the game. The Chargers […]


Chargers D/ST is a Good Start but a Stronger Stash

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams remains a top unit in the NFL, with three interceptions and three sacks against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. However, they will be without their veteran leader, DE Khalil Mack, who was placed on IR after dislocating his elbow. Tuli Tuipulotu will remain a starter, while Bud […]


Najee Harris' Opportunities Could Increase for Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris saw his snap share rise from 18% to 34% in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The team continues to involve him more after a superficial eye injury kept him out of the preseason. While his running mate Omarion Hampton continues to underperform, Harris should get […]


Omarion Hampton's Leash is Shortening

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton struggled in Monday's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie finished with eight carries for 24 yards and caught one pass for one yard. He ran hard, but the Raiders' defense shut down the run all night. His snap count decreased from 80% to 62%, and […]


Momentum Meets Matchup: This Week Reveals Justin Herbert's True Fantasy Value

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert looked sharp in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 19 of 27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 31 rushing yards on nine carries. Herbert has appeared poised and confident through two weeks, and he'll need to stay on his game […]


Is Justin Herbert a Top-10 QB Moving Forward?

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert looked sharp in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 19-of-27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 31 rushing yards on nine carries. Herbert again appeared poised and confident, demonstrating good pocket awareness and using his legs when necessary. In Week 3, […]


Is Keenan Allen the New No. 1 WR in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen once again made an impact in Monday night's 20-9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He remains reliable and continues to earn quarterback Justin Herbert's trust in key moments. His 33% red-zone target share through two games […]


Ladd McConkey has Zero Red Zone Targets this Season, is it Time to Panic?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught all five of his targets for 48 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in the team's 20-9 win on Monday night. He has been reliable through two weeks but hasn't received a single red-zone target. That limits his touchdown potential and raises some concerns for fantasy managers. […]


Omarion Hampton Underwhelms, Will He Lose Snaps Moving Forward?

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton struggled in Monday's 20-9 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie finished with eight carries for 24 yards and one catch for one yard. He ran hard, but the Raiders bottled up the run all night. Najee Harris began to see more snaps when the Chargers were […]


Chargers D/ST Remains Strong but Faces High-Volume Offense

The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST played well last week, beating last year's Super Bowl runner-up, the Kansas City Chiefs. They held their divisional rivals to just 21 points and limited their running backs to only 41 yards. This week, they face the Las Vegas Raiders and quarterback Geno Smith, who threw for over 300 yards […]


Cameron Dicker a Top Kicker This Week Against Las Vegas

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker had a perfect outing in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, scoring nine points with two field goals and three converted extra points. This week, the Chargers are projected to score around 25 points against the Las Vegas Raiders, setting Dicker up for another productive day. He is […]


Will Dissly Not Projected for a High Volume Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly had only one target in Week 1, converting it into a single catch for 18 yards. He will look to rebound against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. Despite the Raiders' defense giving up 76 yards to the tight end position last week, Dissly might not see […]


Quentin Johnston Continues to be a Red-Zone Threat

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston silenced his critics in Week 1 with an impressive 5-79-2 stat line on just seven targets against a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense. Johnston's 97.3% route participation and 66.7% red-zone target rate show that he is a key part of this offense. The former first-round pick is expected […]


Tre' Harris Needs More Opportunities to Make a Fantasy Impact

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris had a very quiet debut in Week 1, recording just one catch for 11 yards. The rookie barely saw the field, running only five routes and participating in just 13.5% of the offensive snaps. Harris will look to carve out a role against the Las Vegas Raiders. While […]


Keenan Allen's Reliability Makes Him a Solid Start

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen showed his excellent chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert during the team's Week 1 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran recorded seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets, proving his reliability and ability to get open against any defense. This week, Allen faces […]


Ladd McConkey is Still a Top Option Entering Week 2

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey put up solid numbers in the team's Week 1 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, catching six passes on nine targets for 74 yards. Although he didn't score a touchdown, his high target volume and 100% route participation immediately established him as a top option in a pass-heavy […]
