Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

We were due for Week 10 to happen and not just in the most obvious, literal sense that Week 10 would inevitably arrive after Week 9. Sometimes up is down, black is white, and dogs and cats live and dine together in harmony. In a week where DeMarco Murray and Kirk Cousins combined for five […]

There were some dramatic shifts in fantasy value in Week 10 after surprising breakout performances, especially at the quarterback position.

Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and […]

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 11)

Russell Wilson is making a strong case for league-MVP consideration... The play that saw him spinning and dodging on the way to a 40-plus yard completion to Doug Baldwin shows not only how prolific of an athlete Wilson is, but also how he is the spark to this entire offense. He is putting together one […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Well, we finally have some closure with the Ezekiel Elliott situation. Of course, everyone and their mother was more than eager to alert us that Dallas missing tackle Tyron Smith was a bigger obstacle than missing Zeke.

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

I just couldn't resist the urge, so you'll have to bear with me for a few more sentences while I gloat a bit. Sometimes it feels like we are wrong more than we are right in the world of fantasy football, yet we keep coming back or more like the addicts we are. Nothing feeds […]

Defying Logic - Scrubs Over Stars for Week 10

Not only have we heard this argument on podcasts, websites and among fellow fantasy football players, but we go through it in our heads every single week.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers: Week 10

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

[…]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

As if the latest twist and turn in the Ezekiel Elliot saga wasn’t enough, Week 9 got off to a ridiculous start as not only did Zach Ertz show up on the inactive list, but Leonard Fournette was also scratched due to myriad disciplinary issues such as missing treatments and the team photo. Then we […]

Bills fans should be readily aware that their […]

Monday Night Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 9)

Happy Monday RotoBallers! Another week, another Monday. This season hasn't quite gone as planned for the Green Bay Packers. One of the preseason favorites to reach Super Bowl LII (that's 52), there's been a bit of a change of plans. Ever since lord and savior Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone in Week 6, the […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes we can outsmart ourselves, can't we? I believe I've said this before, but the Texans-Seahawks game last week is a perfect example of how common sense can just go right out the window when a game defies logic and statistical analysis. At that point, all our best research and prognosticating looks downright idiotic. Hopefully […]

Week 9 Red Zone Risers/Fallers: Players With Scoring Potential

We're starting to get a sense of which players are integral parts of their team's offense, especially in the red zone. Still, injuries and bye weeks demand that we find under-the-radar players who have great opportunity to contribute as well. We always need to dig deeper to find great values at the skill positions. Just […]

Week 9 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

Now that we’ve passed the season’s halfway point, it’s much more difficult to come up with names for this list than it was in the early part of the season. The diamonds can only stay camouflaged in the rough for so long. There are still opportunities for players who have yet to contribute significantly to […]

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 9

This was certainly one of the most active NFL trade deadlines in recent memory with some top talent at offensive skill positions being dealt.

Fantasy Football Mailbag – Trade Deadline Analysis

It's been a pretty crazy last few days in football land. Despite six teams on a bye week, half of this weekend's twelve games ended within one score, including the possible game of the year between Texans and Seahawks in Seattle. And if Week 8 of football wasn't enough action, the last 48 hours have […]

Fantasy Spin - Jay Ajayi Traded to Eagles

Jay Ajayi was just declared the goat. No, I definitely don't mean the Muhammad Ali of running backs (that would be Jim Brown). Just a plain old goat; possibly a scapegoat, if you don't side with coach Adam Gase. See, the recent passive aggressive public comments by his former coach imply that Ajayi was one […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 9)

As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 9 Pickups and Adds

This might be the worst week for RB waivers yet. Another six teams will be on bye in Week 9 and thankfully there weren't any major injuries to create job openings.
