Lions vs. Packers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Jared Goff, Sam LaPorta, Jordan Love, Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Romeo Doubs, Luke Musgrave

Our string of two straight Thursday Night Football bangers came to an end last week when the San Francisco 49ers trampled all over the New York Giants, so we now turn our attention to an NFC North clash between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. Both of these teams have retooled in the […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 3 (2023)

Week 3 is here, and I'm excited to update the depth charts and stats for the completely free fantasy football WR/CB Matchup Chart. During the past three seasons, I have tweaked my process to make the chart more user-friendly and predictive, but NFL teams are moving receivers around more than ever in today's game. It […]

Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 3 Matchup Analysis

Welcome back RotoBallers to our Week 3 matchup analysis and Start Em, Sit Em column for fantasy football. Last week featured two overtime games, one successful Hail Mary touchdown, and far too many injuries. Our data set for 2023 is growing, but so is the number of players out in Week 3. A new addition to […]

Week 3 Fantasy Football Matchups We Love: The Fantasy Matchmaker

In this series, I will be looking at fantasy football matchups as each week of the 2023 NFL season approaches and giving you some players whose matchups I love, to the point it probably bumps them up higher for me than […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 3: Tyler Lockett, Mike Williams, Jordan Addison, Zay Flowers, Josh Reynolds

Week 2 saw more than its fair share of breakout fantasy/DFS performances from up-and-coming receivers - Nico Collins, Puka Nacua, Josh Reynolds, and George Pickens all finished as top 12 receivers for the week despite having sub-$6,000 salaries on DraftKings. DFS pricing tends to get sharper as the season progresses. This can already be felt […]

Fantasy Football Week 3 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dameon Pierce, Kyle Pitts, Rhamondre Stevenson, Justin Fields

I’ll admit, I was wrong about Puka Nacua. I listed the wide receiver as a bust in Week 2, thinking there was no way he would get anywhere close to the 10 catches and 119 yards he gathered in Week 1. Instead, Stafford peppered Nacua with 20 targets and the rookie now leads the league […]

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 3 Lineups

The excitement of the NFL season continues to build as we enter Week 3 of the 2023 fantasy football season.

With the first two weeks of the 2023 NFL season in the books, we now have a pretty good understanding of what teams are doing and can better predict what defenses to start based on the trends over their first couple of games played. There were some hits from our Week 2 D/ST rankings, along […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Once is happenstance. Twice is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. We're learning more and more about these 32 football teams as the weeks go by but we still have a little bit to go before we really grasp a sense of the power rankings. There is a bevy of teams favored by a touchdown […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

What a difference a week makes. Look at how the media reacted to Week 1 and compare that to Week 2. Some were doubting the Bills after a rough opener but they took care of business against the Raiders. But more needs to be seen from them especially when they go up against a top-10 […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Welcome back to our Week 3 Kicker Rankings, Streamers and Starts for fantasy football.

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target for Week 3 - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Thankfully for fantasy managers, offenses bounced back in Week 2 and gave us some high-scoring games. There is still plenty of room for growth for many teams in the NFL, but at least we saw something more after a very underwhelming Week 1. We also saw some very good and very bad offensive line performances […]

Week 3 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

There is one thing that new IDP managers should remember as in-season moves and injuries start to rack up. That is defensive news travels slower than offensive news does. Just think about how many alerts you got when Kareem Hunt signed, or Cam Akers was traded. These running backs couldn't find a field last week, […]

Giants vs. 49ers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Daniel Jones, Matt Brieda, Darren Waller, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Brock Purdy

Our string of two straight Thursday Night Football bangers likely comes to an end this week when the injury-plagued New York Giants visit the San Franciso 49ers. Last week's Vikings-Eagles matchup turned into a fantasy bonanza, and while that might be the case for the 49ers in Week 3, it's hard to make a case […]

Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 2 Matchup Analysis

Welcome back RotoBallers to our Week 2 matchup analysis and Start Em, Sit Em column for fantasy football. Last week featured a combination of blowouts, upsets, injuries, and shootouts.

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 2: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Brandon Aiyuk, Jahan Dotson, Nico Collins, Rashid Shaheed

The second week of the NFL season is all about opportunity in DFS and player prop betting. Markets are still adjusting to figure out which Week 1 performances were a smokescreen and which will be indicative of what is to come. Each week we use matchup data from PFF to determine wide receivers to target […]

Fantasy Football Week 2 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Terry McLaurin, Joe Mixon, Jordan Love, more

Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season was far from pretty. In some games, it was downright ugly. For someone who writes a weekly busts column, it makes my life a little easier. But that's not at all fun for fantasy football, so let's go to bed and pray for more touchdowns and explosive plays […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 2 (2023)

Week 2 is here, and I'm excited to update the depth charts for the completely free fantasy football WR/CB Matchup Chart.

It is difficult […]

Week 2 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

This week's matchups bring both challenges […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets and Avoids

After months of talk and predictions, the NFL returned this past weekend and proved the sports media world has no idea what they're talking about. Despite hours of, "I think" without any evidence to back predictions up, Week 1 shows no one knows anything about football. Some touts expected the Steelers to compete against or […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

One week down, 17 more to go. Week 1 helped paint a picture of what we can expect from certain teams in the new year. In some other cases, we didn't learn a whole lot. There were a handful of significant upsets in Week 1 (Detroit over Kansas City, Tampa Bay over Minnesota, and Los […]

Week 2 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

With a week under our belts, injuries are already taking hold of fantasy and NFL teams. Aaron Rodgers is the most obvious name on that list, but several IDP-relevant players also came up limping in Week 1.

Vikings vs. Eagles TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Justin Jefferson, Alexander Mattison, T.J. Hockenson, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith, Kenneth Gainwell, D'Andre Swift

Could it possibly be that we have two straight intriguing games for Thursday Night Football to start the season? The NFL has really tried to do a better job of showcasing their best teams in this primetime spot in 2023. After so many years of horrific Titans-Jaguars debacles, it's not until October 5 when the […]
