C.J. Stroud - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round for Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Malik Davis, Jawhar Jordan, Troy Franklin, Jayden Reed, Jalen Coker, Dalton Schultz, C.J. Stroud, Kirk Cousins

Week 15 was an incredible slate, filled with all sorts of star performances, untimely duds, and massive injuries. Whether that shaped the first round of your playoffs or the final do-or-die week of your regular season, we unite here at RotoBaller in pursuit of that final championship victory. We take the next step toward that […]


Brenton Strange Carries Promising Role into Jets Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange should lean on a lackluster Jets defense in Week 15 and return to the top end of the TE leaderboard. The 6-foot-4 Strange was the half-PPR TE5 in both Weeks 12 and 13 after missing five games due to a hip injury, but faltered with only 5.7 points last […]


Jaguars D/ST Ready as an Elite Week 15 Unit

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense and special teams unit is in a spot that could carry fantasy teams through Week 15. Their opponent, the Jets, is lining up the unproven Brady Cook to get the start under center with both Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) ruled out for Sunday. Starting tight end Mason Taylor […]


Cam Little Set as Top-10 Option Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is itching to show off that big leg of his in a Week 15 date with a vulnerable Jets defense and perfect weather on tap. The 22-year-old kicker has only missed one extra point this year (and his two-year career), and no distance is too great for the current NFL […]


Parker Washington an Unreliable Fantasy Factor in Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) was upgraded from a pair of limited practices to full on Friday, resulting in a questionable designation with a decent chance to return to play in Week 15 against the Jets. We've yet to see what a full game's output from Washington looks like with both Brian Thomas […]


Brian Thomas Jr. Brings High Ceiling to Table in Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is poised to rebuild some fantasy football trust in this final month after an arduous campaign filled with drops and injuries. Last week, BTJ gained ground with three catches for 87 yards on six targets that compiled a whopping 148 air yards. Both he and Jakobi Meyers led […]


Jakobi Meyers Poised to Keep Touchdown Streak Going

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is looking to score a touchdown in his fourth straight game with a robust matchup against the Jets. Meyers is fully integrated into the offense following the midseason trade from Las Vegas, clearing an 80% snap count in each of his last three games. The return of Brian Thomas […]


Bhayshul Tuten a Volatile Flex Play With Great Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has had a disappointing few weeks after a season-high 74 rushing yards in Week 11, but hope springs eternal this weekend thanks to a date with the Jets' generous rush defense. Pessimists will point to Tuten's failure to crack 20 total yards in each of the last three games, […]


Travis Etienne Jr. a Stellar Week 15 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is in a prime spot to tally his sixth top-12 half-PPR finish in seven games and propel fantasy managers down the stretch. We've lost the early-season efficiency seen back in the first month of play, but steady volume on an offense averaging 30 points per game since Week […]


Trevor Lawrence Boasts Top-10 Upside For Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence enters the Week 15 fantasy slate with a friendly home matchup with the Jets. The Clemson alum has scored multiple touchdowns in four straight contests since Liam Coen instructed him to "let it rip," while also being turnover-free in his last two efforts. He's shown a particularly strong rapport with […]
