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.

Ladd McConkey Heating Up, Emerging as Justin Herbert's Top Target

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey had a standout performance in the team's last-second 29-27 win against the Miami Dolphins, catching seven passes for 100 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. He led the team in nearly every receiving category, stepping up with Quentin Johnston (hamstring) out, and made a crucial 42-yard reception […]


Justin Herbert Leads Another Comeback Win, Back in Top Form

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert bounced back strongly in the team's 29-27 last-second win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He completed 29 of 38 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns, showing poise and evasiveness behind a depleted offensive line. Herbert stayed calm under constant pressure, leading a game-winning drive with less than […]


Chargers D/ST Provides Strong Floor Against Dolphins Offense

The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST faces an inconsistent Miami Dolphins offense this week, offering a potential bounce-back opportunity despite their recent struggles. The Chargers' defense, though ranked 27th in passing yards allowed, remains strong in the red zone (2nd in Red-Zone Scoring percentage allowed) and is tied for fourth in total sacks. They have recently […]


Cameron Dicker Remains a Reliable Top-Tier Kicker

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker remains perfect this season and is poised for a high-volume week against a vulnerable Miami Dolphins defense. Although the Chargers' offense has recently struggled, with fewer red-zone opportunities due to penalties and turnovers, the favorable matchup should help them move the ball more effectively. Kicker consistency is essential in […]


Rookie Oronde Gadsden Continues to be a Stash Option Heading into Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden faces a Miami Dolphins defense this week that ranks eighth-worst in yards allowed per game to tight ends. Despite this favorable matchup, Gadsden's target share has decreased since his first game, where he drew seven targets, as he only caught his single target for 14 yards last […]


Kimani Vidal to Share Backfield in Favorable Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal enters Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins, sharing the backfield with Hassan Haskins after Omarion Hampton (ankle) was placed on IR this week. Vidal looked like the more explosive option last week, averaging 4.5 yards per carry on four rushes and splitting targets with Haskins. Facing the Miami […]


Tre' Harris Could See Target Increase on Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris faces the Miami Dolphins this week but remains firmly behind the top three receivers on the depth chart. He recorded zero targets last week and only three catches all season, as his 21.6% route participation rate limits his weekly upside. However, he could be a desperation dart […]


Hassan Haskins Enters Week 6 in a Split Backfield

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins is now stepping into a primary role after Omarion Hampton (ankle) was placed on IR this week as the team faces the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Haskins, who had an unimpressive five carries for 13 yards last week following Hampton's injury, will share work with Kimani Vidal after […]


Keenan Allen Enters Week 6 with a Favorable Perimeter Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen enters Week 6 as a clear high-floor option, leading the team with five catches on nine targets last week. The veteran faces a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins' secondary, which has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers, a key area for Allen […]


Ladd McConkey Should Have Slot Success Against Vulnerable Secondary

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is set for a strong performance against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday after scoring his first touchdown last week. While the Dolphins' secondary is the defense's strongest unit, they are middle of the pack overall and especially vulnerable to slot receivers, giving up the fifth-most PPR points per […]


Quentin Johnston Becoming More Volatile Heading into Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins due to a hamstring issue after being limited in practice all week. If he is active and fully healthy, Johnston has a good chance for a bounce-back game against a Miami secondary that allows the highest […]


Prime Matchup for Justin Herbert, but Offensive Line Limits his Ceiling

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has a good chance to get the team back on track this week against the Miami Dolphins, who have one of the weakest defenses in the league heading into Sunday. Despite leading the team in rushing last week and being one of the top passers during the Chargers' early […]


Quentin Johnston's Hot Start Cools Off

After an explosive start to the 2025 season, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston regressed in the team's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. He caught all four of his targets for 40 yards but lost a crucial fumble that shifted the momentum of the game in the second quarter. The performance could have […]


Ladd McConkey Scores First Touchdown in Week 5 Loss

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey finally reached the end zone on Sunday, catching five of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the team's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. It was a much-needed bounce-back after last week's poor performance, demonstrating that he can be trusted again in short-yardage and red-zone […]


Keenan Allen Makes History, but Offense Still Stumbles

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen made NFL history on Sunday by becoming the fastest player to reach 1,000 receptions. He achieved this in just 159 games, eight fewer than Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison. The veteran led the team with five catches for 58 yards on nine targets during their 27-10 loss to […]


Justin Herbert Crashes Back to Reality, Hampered by Injured O-Line

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his worst game of the season, completing 22 of 29 passes for 166 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the team's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. The offense looked disorganized, burdened by costly penalties and sloppy play for most of the afternoon. Herbert also led the […]


Chargers D/ST has a High Sack Rate, Low on Turnovers

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams enters Week 5 as a decent streaming option, but they face new uncertainty with the return of Washington Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee). The defense struggled against the New York Giants' rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart, last week, giving up over 50 rushing yards and a touchdown on the […]


Expect a Bounce-Back Game from Cameron Dicker in Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker remains a strong fantasy option with a high floor, despite only having one field goal attempt in the team's recent loss. Dicker is still perfect on all his field goal attempts (eight) and extra points this season, reinforcing his status as matchup-proof. The Chargers' offense is widely expected to […]


Oronde Gadsden's Volume Shrinks, Patience is Required for Rookie TE

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden experienced a significant drop in his target volume against the New York Giants, catching only two passes on three targets for 16 yards after his seven-target debut. This low output was primarily due to the Chargers' offense struggling to sustain drives. Facing Week 5 against the vulnerable […]


Quentin Johnston Poised For Another Score, Moves to Borderline WR1 in Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is now firmly established as the team's top wideout entering Week 5, leading in targets, receiving yards, and touchdowns. The former first-round pick was one of the few bright spots in the team's first loss to the New York Giants, catching eight of 11 targets for 98 yards […]


Favorable Matchup Sets Up Opportunity, Keenan Allen Ready to Reclaim WR2 Status

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen aims to turn volume into production in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders after catching just five passes for 37 yards against the New York Giants. Despite the underwhelming performance, the veteran had seven targets and will face a favorable matchup against Commanders cornerback Trey Amos. The Commanders' […]


Ladd McConkey Hopes for a Breakout in Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey faces a crucial Week 5 matchup after a disappointing fantasy performance against the New York Giants, where he only caught one pass for 11 yards on six targets. Although McConkey is a vital part of the offense, leading the team with 160 routes run at a 93% route […]


Omarion Hampton is a Locked-in RB1 for Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton has firmly established himself as the Chargers' workhorse after his impressive performance against the New York Giants. Hampton handled the majority of snaps (89%) and rushed 12 times for 128 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown, while adding five catches for 37 yards. The Washington Commanders are stronger […]


Justin Herbert Set for a Top-Five Week

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to have a strong rebound in Week 5 at home against the Washington Commanders. Herbert's recent performance was impacted by multiple drops from his receivers, limited playing time, and a collapsing pocket against the New York Giants. This resulted in only 203 passing yards, one touchdown, two […]


Quentin Johnston Scores Again, WR No. 3 on the Year

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was one of the few bright spots in the team's 21-18 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. He continued to deliver, leading the team with eight catches on 13 targets for 98 yards while scoring his fourth touchdown of the season. Johnston is now the WR3 […]


A Career Low for Ladd McConkey, Time to Panic?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey experienced the worst game of his career during the team's 21-18 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. He caught only one of six targets for 11 yards and dropped some critical passes. After appearing reliable over the past three weeks, his struggles stood out in the […]


Does Omarion Hampton Have Top-Five Upside Moving Forward?

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton impressed in the team's first loss of the season to the New York Giants, 21-18. He rushed 12 times for 128 yards and a touchdown, and caught all five of his targets for 37 yards. His 54-yard touchdown showcased his strength and speed, as he continues to […]


Is Justin Herbert Still a Top-Five QB Moving Forward After Loss?

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert struggled in the team's 21-18 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. He completed 23 of 41 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions, along with a 24-yard run. The offense appeared out of sync, plagued by drops and constant pressure from New York's front four, […]


Cameron Dicker is Perfect Heading into Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker enters Week 4 as a must-start fantasy option after his game-winning heroics against the Denver Broncos last week. Dicker has been perfect this season, making all seven of his field goal attempts and every extra point. Dicker is essentially matchup-proof at this point. The Chargers' offense is expected to […]


Chargers D/ST a Top-Three Option Heading into Week 4

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams unit enters Week 4 on the road as a top-tier fantasy option against a struggling New York Giants offense. Despite defensive end Khalil Mack (elbow) being placed on IR, the unit remains strong, with safety Derwin James recently earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his 12-tackle, […]
