It can be hard to bench starting players in NFL offenses in your fantasy football leagues, especially if you're in deeper leagues and need to start less commonly started players. For example, in 2QB leagues, you might be forced to start a quarterback that you don't like much. Such is the nature of fantasy football. […]

Trade deadlines in fantasy football leagues are approaching. Whether it's this week, next week, or no deadline at all, fantasy managers will need to lock in and make calculated decisions to win their leagues. There are plenty of players who are going to tear it up down the stretch, like last season with Bucky Irving, […]

Dropping the right players at the right time makes a ton of sense in fantasy football. If a player doesn't have a lot of upside to bring your team down the road, it makes little sense to continue wasting a bench spot on them. It's generally a better idea to look for high-upside stashes, because […]

Week 10 is a bummer - the two defenses we, as fantasy managers, like to attack the most are on bye. We'll see you soon, Cincinnati and Dallas. Please don't improve your defense too much during the break. Without the cupcake matchups, it's not the most fun landscape this week. There are a few good […]

Hello again, RotoBallers, and welcome back to another edition of my Warning Signals column.

I then highlight a handful of those players whose warning signals I […]

The big news this week at the tight end position revolves around the Tucker Kraft injury. After weeks of missing Brock Bowers and finally getting him back, fantasy managers have now lost Kraft for the season. This will send many fantasy managers reeling. There is no replacing Kraft. It simply cannot be done. Well, unless […]

We're over the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. Players such as Brian Thomas Jr. and Terry McLaurin are in the midst of lost seasons, and that was made worse when both sustained injuries.

We know which teams are going for it, which teams stayed pat, and (mostly) which ones are playing out the string.  For dynasty purposes, this week is a helpful point in the season. We’ll begin to see which […]

Injuries, bye weeks, and role changes have shaken up the rankings pecking order, and our experts are here to help. It's time […]

It may seem hard to believe, but we have reached the halfway mark of the 2025 season. Time sure does fly when you’re having fun. Or in our case, time flies when you obsess over your fantasy football team every minute of the day. Last week’s sonic boom, J.K. Dobbins, had a solid but unspectacular […]

Welcome back to our Week 9 fantasy football busts, for players who may disappoint. It may be a tougher week than normal to determine lineup busts. Las Vegas oddsmakers predict a high-scoring slate, with five games with an over/under of 50 points. Toss in four teams on bye this week, and the pickings are slim. […]

We are entering the second half of the NFL season, and the tight-end position has once again become a cluster. There are about four good ones.
