Don

270 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.

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, […]


Quentin Johnston Continues to Produce Heading into Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is set for a big Week 4 performance against the New York Giants. The former first-round pick led the team with 89 receiving yards on six catches and 10 targets last week against a tough Denver Broncos secondary. He currently leads the team in receiving yards and is […]


Keenan Allen Remains a Top Target Heading into Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen once again proved to be quarterback Justin Herbert's most trusted option in the team's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos, catching seven of 11 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. The veteran commands a stellar 26.2% target share and a 40% red-zone target share over three games, […]


Ladd McConkey's Red-Zone Usage Remains a Concern Heading into Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is still getting plenty of opportunities heading into Week 4 against the New York Giants, even though his fantasy numbers haven't reflected that so far. McConkey caught four of seven targets for 41 yards in the team's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos, including a crucial late-game catch […]


Omarion Hampton Set for Possible Bell-Cow Status Going into Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is primed for a heavy workload following the season-ending injury to Najee Harris (Achilles). In the team's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos, Hampton recorded 19 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown, along with six catches for 59 yards, demonstrating his value in both the running […]


Justin Herbert is a Top-Five Quarterback Going into Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert heads into a Week 4 road game, fresh off a hard-fought 23-20 victory over the Denver Broncos, where he completed 28 of 47 passes for 300 yards, one touchdown, and his first interception. Herbert now faces the 0-3 New York Giants, who have a strong front four but a […]


Oronde Gadsden Breaks Out in Week 3, the Future TE1 in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden finally made his mark in the team's 23-20 last-second win over the Denver Broncos. After being a healthy scratch in the first two games, the fifth-round draft pick out of Syracuse drew seven targets, catching five passes for 46 yards. At 6-foot-5, Gadsden brings size and athleticism […]


Is Ladd McConkey the WR3 in L.A.?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four of seven targets for 41 yards in the team's last-second win over the Denver Broncos, 23-20. While he remains without a touchdown, his late fourth-quarter first-down catch helped set up the game-winning field goal. McConkey is reliable but clearly behind Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston in […]


Justin Herbert Plays Fearlessly, a Top-Five QB Moving Forward?

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert faced his biggest challenge yet in Week 3 and delivered. He completed 28 of 47 passes for 300 yards, one touchdown, and his first interception of the season in the team's last-second 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos. Herbert played fearlessly, extending plays with his legs and connecting with […]


Quinshon Judkins Delivers, Scores in Win

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins delivered a standout performance in Sunday's surprising 13-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. He carried the ball 18 times for 94 yards and scored a game-tying touchdown late in the fourth quarter. He also caught one pass for one yard. Judkins' impressive showing came against one of […]


Michael Pittman Jr. Scores in Win

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had a solid performance in Week 3, catching all six of his targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 41-20 win over the Tennessee Titans. Pittman Jr. led the team in catches, yards, and targets, even on a day when running back Jonathan Taylor stole […]


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.

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.

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.
