Among this week's top waiver wire targets was a trio of rookies. Broncos RB Jonah Coleman, Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr., and Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas all had promising performances in Week 7, prompting fantasy managers to pursue them. These three should continue to emerge over the back half of the season. Another thing these […]

Below you will find our start/sit matchup charts for all players in the MNF game between the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks.

For fantasy football managers, drafting a quarterback that ends up being a total bust in fantasy football leagues isn't the end of the world. That's because the position often has excellent producers sitting on the waiver wire for extended periods of time. Even if you're not able to get a sure-fire every-week starter at QB […]

Welcome RotoBallers! The remainder of the Week 8 slate is just around the corner, which means it's almost time to double-check our fantasy lineups. The tight end position is without two top options, as George Kittle and Isaiah Likely are on bye, and players like Dalton Kincaid enter the weekend with a questionable tag. As […]

Welcome RotoBallers! The "full" Week 8 slate begins in 24 hours, but the wide receiver position is looking quite thin for fantasy managers. Top players like DeVonta Smith and Emeka Egbuka have already been ruled out, while emerging options like Carnell Tate also can't suit up. As a result, managers may be forced to make […]

Hello RotoBallers! The remainder of Week 8 of the NFL season kicks off on Sunday afternoon, which means it's almost time to start our next round of fantasy lineups.

Hey RotoBallers! The main Week 8 slate is just 24 hours away, so it's almost time to set our final lineups. However, injuries to key players like Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, and DeVonta Smith may force managers to dig deeper to fill their lineups. Fortunately, the updated PPR rankings below for all positions will assist […]

Last week, we had another nice +230 win with the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons SGP. There was also another SGP that finished 1 yard short, since Matthew Golden only had 39 yards compared to the 40 yards we needed. I'm not going to be tilted about it. It's a long season, and we'll... […]

We're nearly at the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season.

Michael Mayer is another PPR option at 14% rostered, with no bye in this four-week stretch. AJ Barner is a target for […]

The NFL's trade deadline rumor mill is heating up, and some names have already started moving, so there's plenty to keep up with! Whether you're addressing needs via trade or […]

Not every good player has a good first half of the season. There are late-season breakouts for a variety of players in the NFL. While many of them are rookies, they won't be the focus of today's piece. Instead, we'll be looking at players that have already shown that they can be high-end fantasy football producers. Some […]

Rookie breakouts are common over the back half of NFL seasons. It takes a lot to enter the league, learn a new offense, and succeed from the jump. Additionally, rookie opportunities are often limited over the first half of the season while veterans hold down the fort. However, talent often wins out in these situations. […]

Don't blink, it's almost Week 8! We're getting closer to the trade deadline, and teams such as the Colts have already started their fire sale. Crazy how they were going "all in" one year ago today!

Week 7 is behind us, and that's probably a good thing! We had upsets and some fluky, weird games that wreaked a lot of havoc with my betting card. We still had some hits with props, but it wasn't the runaway success that we've had in other weeks. I like the matchups we have this […]

Several elite quarterbacks were on a bye in Week 7, but the stars who did play showed out. Joe Burrow was the belle of the ball, throwing for 249 yards and four touchdowns in the second half of Sunday's rout over Baltimore. Burrow and the Bengals are picking up steam. Elsewhere, we continued to see […]

This feels like the kind of week we have all been waiting for. Several games have high totals, and plenty of teams have individual totals of 24 or more points. That gives us multiple stacking options for tournaments, plus plenty of guys with high floors in cash games.  The standard build this week is to... […]
