Fantasy managers get a break from the bye week blues; however, the injuries never stop. Surviving those continues to be the theme of the season. Your job each week is to set the strongest lineup that you possibly can. In one league of mine, a team last week tried to set an incomplete lineup, choosing […]

It's time for another eventful week of fantasy football, and with just two teams on a bye, hopefully, you have most of your starting lineup available in Week 9!

The NFL's trade deadline is fast approaching, and many of you are trying to pull off some key deals yourselves! Be it trade […]

Setting my fantasy football lineups often feels like an exercise in pessimism. As much as I hype myself up at the start of each new week, I can’t help but look for reasons why my players might hurt me. Every Thursday on RotoBaller, I share a handful of players who stand out as particularly worrisome […]

The weekend has arrived, and at RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more weekend rankings. Today, we focus on kickers, and with the Titans and Steelers on bye, fantasy managers have fewer options to stream in Week 9. Our Week 9 kicker rankings will help managers find a streaming kicker option. Below are our updated Week […]

With only the Titans and Steelers on the bye in Week 9, fantasy managers only have a small bye-week crunch to deal with. However, many fantasy teams are dealing with injuries that could make selecting the FLEX option in Week 9 trickier. At RotoBaller HQ, we updated our top 200 Week 9 fantasy football FLEX […]

Welcome RotoBallers! After not having an early game last Sunday, the NFL is back with another international contest to kick off the Week 9 slate. On Sunday morning, the Bengals and Falcons will face off in Madrid in what could be a high-scoring affair. The Bengals enter this game with one of the league's top […]

The Steelers and the Titans are on a bye in Week 9, leaving fantasy managers with fewer options to stream a fantasy defense this week. Our Week 9 defense (D/ST) streamers, starts, and tiered rankings help you decide on which fantasy defense to stream or start this week. In this article, you will find where […]

Week 9 has arrived, and some teams are switching starting quarterbacks because of struggles or injuries. The Eagles will turn to Joe Milton, while the Vikings will roll with Carson Wentz, as Kyler Murray is not expected to play. Shedeur Sanders will also start as Deshaun Watson is likely to miss Week 9 with a […]

Below you will find our start/sit matchup charts for all players in the MNF game between the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings.

The calendar has turned to November, which brings Week 9 (a modest two-team bye, thank goodness) to our doorsteps! Some of you will have to find a replacement for Chris Boswell, and others are moving on from Tyler Loop (injured) and Spencer Shrader (dismantled team), but most of you can be flexible, and perhaps even […]

Each week of the fantasy football season, we will rank every defense from No. 1 to No. 32 and break them into tiers along with matchup analysis.

It's not easy to let go of a player who's served you well this season in fantasy football. You may think players who have done well to this point will surely continue to score highly and should be started for the rest of the season. But we've seen numerous examples of players getting off to […]

The Baltimore Ravens had terrible injury luck on Sunday. On his first play back from an ankle sprain, star quarterback Lamar Jackson injured his thumb, landing him on injured reserve. Backup passer Tyler Huntley proceeded to exit with a reportedly season-ending toe issue, and third-string QB Joe Fagnano picked up an ankle injury. Although the […]

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 […]

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 […]

We are back for the Week 9 NFL Props article! This week brings another opportunity to capitalize on emerging trends, identify favorable matchups, and find value before the betting market fully adjusts. The mission here is to uncover value on the top player props as the season unfolds. With three weeks in the books, we're... […]

While several games have totals of 51 or 50 points, I'm not looking at any of them this week. Just because they have super high totals doesn't mean we get good betting options. Those games have expectations for scoring, so the betting lines are adjusted to account for that. That often creates artificially juiced lines,... […]

It's my favorite time of the week. We're finally getting a pretty good picture of who's in and who's out this week with the late-week practice reports, and the books are releasing more props for us to sift through. You'll find some star players in here this week, but most of my focus is on […]

Jared Goff and D'Andre Swift sit close together in the dynasty market, but the offers I'd make for them are different. Goff's seven-game passing production is strong despite a quiet Week 8. Swift's 29-touch night in Seattle was encouraging, though three touchdowns could make this an expensive time to buy. Josh Jacobs is cheaper, with […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another slate of NFL action kicks off in a few days! While most are focused on setting their optimal lineups, managers in an inch may need to cut ties with a full year in order to fill their starting lineup. In this piece, we will look at four underperforming players who are viable […]

Welcome to Week 9 of our fantasy football breakout candidate piece for the 2026 NFL season. Each week, we'll point you to emerging players who aren't just top pickups but could see their fantasy values surge by the end of the weekend.

Hey RotoBallers, we are back with more updated waiver wire advice. It's Week 9, and fantasy managers should scout the waiver wire for players who can help with that playoff push or add a high-upside bench or injury stash.
