Hey RotoBallers! Week 6 is just a few days away, so it's almost time for managers to set their final fantasy lineups. While many are focused on the skill positions, one way to gain an edge in your matchup is to stream a defense with a top matchup. In this piece, we spotlight some under-the-radar […]

You should always be trying to buy star players that are in the midst of poor stretches of performance in fantasy football. It's fine to have a healthy dose of skepticism about them meeting their full potential this season, but it's not always their fault when they're not scoring a lot. There are numerous things […]

Many of you have been impacted by the recent avalanche of injuries at multiple positions, including the growing collection of health issues that have reshaped the running back landscape. That includes fantasy managers who had David Montgomery or Will Shipley in their Week 5 lineups, as both backs were forced to the sideline during their […]

Week 5 gave fantasy managers plenty to think about, especially at wide receiver. Germie Bernard was one of the biggest surprises, turning in an impressive performance that should put him on radars in more fantasy leagues. That's what makes the waiver wire so interesting this time of year. A player who was barely involved a […]

This is the first week the byes start getting as annoying to fantasy football managers as trick-or-treaters who complain about the candy they get on Halloween. Minnesota’s T.J. Hockenson, Cincinnati’s Mike Gesicki, and Detroit’s Sam LaPorta are all on bye this week. The first two tight ends might have been picked up in thousands of […]

Quarterback scoring returned to form in Week 5. Two quarterbacks (Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels) surpassed the 30-point mark. Another eight (Jordan Love, Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, Jameis Winston, Jacoby Brissett, Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Lawrence, and C.J. Stroud) broke 20 points. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of year when bye weeks force fantasy managers to […]

Hey RotoBallers! With many breakout players and high-end handcuffs on the waiver wire, managers may need to cut ties with a non-producing player whose stock has dropped to improve their roster. While it may be difficult to drop these once-proven assets, they have not contributed much to your roster, and managers looking to get ahead […]

The 2026 NFL Draft class was universally panned as one of the worst in recent years. One criticism was that the class was “weak up top,” while others called it “deep on backups but light on starters.” In my predraft evaluations, I noted that many were sleeping on the defensive talent near the top of […]

At this point in the NFL regular season, fantasy football managers should have a pretty good idea of their rosters' strengths and weaknesses. Offseason hype and preconceived notions can mostly be disregarded now, as most teams have provided five weeks of actual data we can evaluate. As a result, I expect my trade advice in […]

We're now five weeks into the NFL season, and we're already seeing some movement in the trade market. Crazy, isn't it? I'm back with another weekly bold predictions article after a one-week absence. Week 4's article went well, with Drake Maye, Derrick Henry, and Chris Olave having good weeks. J.J. McCarthy would have to wait […]

Although Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, Justin Jefferson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Ja’Marr Chase are all on a bye, we can rejoice that Bryce Young is back in our player pool. How did we ever survive a week without the chosen one? My son is a massive Panthers fan, so I may have written this paragraph just... […]

Week 5 featured a combination of both good and bad quarterback play. Some of our stars, such as Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, and Drake Maye, showed out. Malik Willis played a solid game despite another loss as well. However, some of the players near the bottom of these rankings, such as Cam Ward, Deshaun Watson, […]

At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more updated waiver advice. Fantasy managers will not only have to navigate through injuries but will have to deal with bye weeks as well.

Week 6 is upon us. Where has the time gone? It seems like we just finished fantasy drafts and were excited to watch this year’s breakout players. Now we’re a month into the season, and Halloween is only a few weeks away. The fantasy football season stops for no one. What also never stops is […]

Week 6 is here, and fantasy managers are already debating which wide receivers to start and sit in this week's matchups. Several bye weeks are also making the decision even more difficult. Managers are weighing their options, including bounce-back candidates, elite matchups, and players whose usage hasn’t matched their original price tag. Josh Downs is […]

Matchups mean more than ever before this year, more than the names on the back of jerseys. We’ve seen star tight ends stumble against tough defenses and mid-tier fantasy tight ends win weeks for managers against mediocre defenses. After five weeks of football, it’s safe to say we can compile a list of defenses to […]

After an eventful Week 5, the fantasy football season rolls on. This year has brought plenty of breakouts, busts, and surprises at quarterback. That’s left some gamers in tough spots. Bye weeks are now underway, and fantasy owners will have to manage that factor moving forward. Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and Kyler Murray are the […]

Forgettable performances came with those memorable moments. The players in this weekly article aren't necessarily the week's best and […]

As good as some tight ends have been this season, more than a handful have been semi-to-massive disappointments. Unfortunately, disappointment only happens when expectations are high. Looking back at preseason ADP (average draft position), five tight ends have been a negative investment so far. This week, we're focusing on these five early-season disappointments. Call this […]

Suspensions have been the name of the game this week, with the NFL handing down multiple swift, well-deserved suspensions to kick off the league’s business week. Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson was suspended for an after-game punch, 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was suspended for a headbutt, and Montez Sweat got a PED ban. Conspicuously absent […]
