Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the ninth edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. The calendar has turned to November, and it is officially time to start planning for the fantasy football playoffs. This week, we will look at running backs who could hold long-term stash value, along with potential standout rookies and a rookie wide […]

We are back with another edition of the fantasy matchmaker. Hopefully, a handful of these matchups won you your week in Week 8. However, it is time to look ahead to Week 9. There are a handful of defenses around the league that are beginning to display different trends than they did at the beginning […]

Every year, without fail, at least one player who wasn't ranked in the top 20 finds their way into the top 10. That is true for most positions, but at running back, it's often due to an injury that couldn't have been predicted. The tight end position has always been and will always be a […]

What appears like it may be a disappointing season for many players can instead quickly turn into a big second-half breakout that shouldn't be ignored in fantasy football leagues. Of course, it's not possible to predict with perfect accuracy which players might have great second halves of the season. But we should at least analyze […]

With eight weeks in the books, the NFL season is almost halfway over, and fantasy football seasons are turning the corner and pushing toward the playoffs. With two more teams on a bye week in Week 9 and injuries also continuing to mount, almost all fantasy managers are looking for depth, especially in the backfield. […]

We've officially entered November, but it didn't stop Halloween from leaving its mark on a wild Week 8 full of tricks and little treats. It’s time for contenders to bolster their roster. It’s do-or-die time for those at the bottom of the standings. There should be opportunities to sell high on risers or ship out […]

Looking back on Week 8, there were plenty of high-scoring NFL games, but it didn't feel like an explosive week for fantasy football. A handful of teams with multiple fantasy stars underperforming could explain why. For example, the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, and Atlanta Falcons scored just 29 points combined. Needless to say, it was […]

The 2026 fantasy football season has flown by, and hopefully, you're near the top of your league's standings. If not, you have work to do, and we're here to help guide your waiver wire decisions with our Week 9 fantasy football waiver wire staff picks. Below, see the top options such as Tyler Allgeier, Caleb Douglas, T.J. […]

The 2026 NFL season is nearing its halfway point, with eight weeks complete. While fantasy football managers have likely figured out what works and what doesn't for their lineups at this point in the campaign, there is still a lot to learn, and there will likely be a few surprises along the way as the […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the eighth edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. We have nearly hit the "halfway" point of the actual NFL season and are quickly nearing the stretch run of the fantasy football regular season. This week, handcuffs take center stage. Through the first half, running backs like Saquon Barkley, Breece Hall, […]

Week 7 in the NFL was a bit of a snooze fest at times, resulting in some tough fantasy football scores. Even the best fantasy teams struggled through this week. This tends to happen a couple of times per season, and it is just something that we fantasy managers have to deal with. Week 8 […]

Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 8. This week, we've got four teams on bye (Texans, Saints, Giants, and 49ers). Last week wasn't great for this column, but we learn, move forward, and try to crush the next week. All four of our starts (Tyler Allgeier, Michael Mayer, Tyler Higbee, and Keenan Allen) scored in […]

Are you dealing with more Bye-Week Blues? Or has your roster been decimated by injuries? No need to fear; we've got your back with some sneaky start options in fantasy football leagues this week. And our top NFL writers have some highly-rostered players that they're worried about, too. We do this every week! The goal […]

As we arrive at Week 8, the sample size is finally large enough that the matchup numbers start telling you something useful instead of reflecting just a couple of weird early-season games. You can look at how certain defenses have actually handled the run or the pass over a full stretch of weeks, line that […]

This year, we have four elite tight ends, two really good ones, and then there's a sizable group in the middle. Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Isaiah Likely, and George Kittle are in a tier of their own up at the top. Tyler Warren and Sam LaPorta comprise the second tier, completing our six set-it-and-forget-it tight […]

Seven weeks down, 11 weeks to go in the 2026 NFL regular season. While many questions have been answered about running back usage at this point, injuries, committees, coaching decisions, disappointing performances, and unexpected breakout games from certain players tend to complicate things for fantasy managers. At RotoBaller, we do our best in this column […]

Through seven weeks of the 2026 season, the Minnesota Vikings are the only undefeated team, the New York Giants are first in the NFC East, and the Cleveland Browns are first in the AFC North. The NFL never ceases to be entertaining or unpredictable, making fantasy football a constant roller-coaster ride. I couldn't have predicted […]

Can you believe it? We’ve officially made it through half of the fantasy football regular season. It’s time for contenders to bolster their roster. It’s do-or-die time for those at the bottom of the standings. There should be opportunities to sell high on risers or ship out fallers for a win-now player. The players in […]

Bye week season continues with four more teams getting a break in Week 8, while injuries also continue to mount, leaving many fantasy managers short-handed, especially in the backfield. All experienced fantasy managers know how important depth is, especially at running back. Thankfully, multiple players are sharing the workload in many teams' backfields, providing plenty […]

We have several more injuries and byes to navigate ahead of the eighth week of the fantasy football season, and with the waiver wire thinning out, it's getting tough to identify who is worth picking up. We're here to help guide your Week 8 decisions with our RotoBaller Staff waiver wire picks, including Dylan Sampson, […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the seventh edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. With another full slate of NFL action set to kick off in just a few days, it's never too late to check the waiver wire for some sneaky upside stashes. In this week's edition, we will look at several handcuff running backs […]

Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 7. This week, we've got four teams on bye (Bills, Jaguars, Chargers, and Commanders). If you're in need of some advice for this week to get in the win column, you're in the right spot. Week 6 was an interesting week. We hit on our starts but mostly whiffed […]

Fantasy football is a war of attrition. You just have to still be standing there when the dust settles in December. Our RotoBaller analysts are here every week with potential sleepers and busts ahead of the remaining Week 7 games. We do this every week! The goal is to give you the confidence you need […]

Week 7 in the NFL is upon us. Fantasy seasons are entering make-or-break mode. It is still possible to recover from one-win starts, and it is still possible to fall as an undefeated team. However, the margin for error will quickly fade in the coming weeks. Now that we are squarely into bye weeks, the […]

Quarterback is the highest-scoring position in fantasy football, yet it's also not terribly difficult to have success streaming the position. It's very difficult to predict which quarterbacks will finish in the top 10 at their position ahead of time due to a variety of factors. Looking at strength of schedule is a great way to […]

We have reached Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, and the early-season noise has started to settle into something more reliable, which is exactly why spotting the boom-or-bust options matters more than it did a month ago. Six weeks of usage, target share, and actual game scripts give you a clearer picture of who […]

We are quickly approaching the halfway mark of the fantasy football regular season, a good time to review key statistics to predict future tight end success. In this week's article, we'll look at several statistics from two angles: raw and per-snap. Ultimately, the raw numbers matter most. If your favorite tight end averages the most […]

14 games. 28 teams in action. Just one player scored 30+ PPR fantasy points. The lack of explosive performances was Week 6's biggest storyline. Christian McCaffrey, on Monday Night Football, saved the week from the dubious accolade. Still, several players had surprising and encouraging games across the league, and, of course, the not-so-great one. The […]
