Wide Receivers Waiver Wire: Week 5 Pickups & Adds

Let's keep on keeping on as we head into Week 5 of the NFL season. As the bye weeks begin, there's no better time to hit the waiver wire hard, especially at the wide receiver position. With the Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets all on bye, it means that there are likely a […]

Week 5 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

It's time to come clean. Time for a little honesty around here. Time to pay the piper if you will. Up until this week, up until the writing of this very column, I haven't been particularly excited about many running back waiver wire adds so far this season. My "Cream of the Crop" adds in […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 4)

After a miserable week 2, I bounced back going four for four in my picks this past week. All the big favorites won, with a couple small underdogs winning on the road. This the first week of the NFL season where BYEs start coming into play, with New England and Tennessee getting the week off. […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 4: Cameron Artis-Payne, Cecil Shorts, Gary Barnidge

Another week in and I hope everyone is doing better than me in their fantasy leagues this season. Going forward, I now have Dez Bryant, LeSean McCoy and Ben Roethlisberger riding the bench for at least the next couple weeks. I guess it was a good thing I traded for Larry Fitzgerald. If you are […]

Week 4 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Week 3 of the NFL was witness to a multitude of authoritative performances from running backs across the league. Eight half backs surpassed 20 standard fantasy scoring points this week compared to six 20-point efforts from Weeks 1 & 2 combined. Many of the stars, including all of the top-4 scorers, were unexpected heroes who […]

Week 4 Deeper Sleepers: Speculating Green Bay Touches and Bye-Week Fillers

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. The Buffalo Bills are going to be hot commodities (Tyrod Taylor (43%), Karlos Williams (31%) and Charles Clay (33%)) on the waiver wire, but they are too heavily owned for this segment. Plus, if you've been following along, you […]

FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 4 Waiver Wire Targets

Week 3 is in the books, and we now have three data points to go off amidst our speculation and preconceived notions. Some teams are sitting pretty at 3-0 and enter the first wave of Bye Week Blues without desperation. Some have started 0-3, and need to open themselves up to risk taking behavior. This […]

Week 4 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

This week, we will take a look at seven sleeper wide receivers, each of whom have worked their way into the number two receiver role on their respective teams. All of these wideouts are young and seem to have made large improvements as of late, either at the end of last year or over the […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Derek Carr, Alex Smith, Blake Bortles

Last week I was only 1 for 2 in streaming picks. I'm throwing out Johnny Manziel of course, since Mike Pettine decided to go with Josh McCown. Nick Foles did not deliver against a weak secondary. That hasn't phased me though, as I'm still happy to stream against the Steelers when given the opportunity. With that […]

Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

Sample size, sample size, sample size. You hear fantasy pundits mutter this phrase constantly during the early weeks of the season. What exactly does it mean though? Simply put, having a small sample size means that we don't have enough information to make accurate predictions about a player's future performance. For running backs, this often […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Four The third Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Cardinals dismantled the 49ers hopes and dreams, while the Bills rebounded from a big loss against the Patriots while sticking it to the Dolphins. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 3 was filled with […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 3: Josh Robinson, Rishard Matthews, Scott Chandler

Week 2 is the in books and a lot of strange things have happened already. DeMarco Murray, an early-round pick, has rushed for only 11 yards this season. Meanwhile, Travis Benjamin, who went mostly undrafted, has three receiving TDs on only six receptions. It may be time to get some sleepers on your roster as […]

Week 3 Sleepers: Last Call for Tyrod Taylor, Hedging Eddie Lacy

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Matt Jones (42%) and Dion Lewis (32%) make for great FAAB claims, but they're too heavily owned for this segment. Week 2 was not easy on a lot of fantasy teams. Carlos Hyde and Eddie […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 3 Waiver Wire Targets

The days after Week 2 can be critical to your year-long success in fantasy football. Starting your season 0-2 means you might need to open up to more risks, and this is a week where you can make a splash on the waiver wire to plug those lineup holes. Perhaps you were bitten by the […]

Week 3 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 3 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 3 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you that life […]

Week 3 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

Ohhhhh injuries!!! It's that time of year, already. I'll admit it, the mind of a fantasy football owner is sick. I don't think anyone actually wants NFL players to get hurt - but if you don't think fantasy owners see the opportunity immediately after someone goes down, you're thinking too highly or your league mates. […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel

Let’s start off with a quick Week 2 review, where I was 2-of-3 on my QB wavier wire picks. Colin Kaepernick had a huge day like I expected, and the Steelers secondary continues to look dreadful. You can feel pretty good about playing QBs against them almost every week. Tyrod Taylor remained available in plenty […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Three The second Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Somehow the Jaguars beat the up and coming Dolphins prompting Miami fans to call for the axing of another head coach, and Peyton reminded us that he doesn't need a good arm to make plays. And the best part […]

Week 2 is upon us. As such, here is our Week 2 Roundup which is loaded with tips and rankings to help you all put your best lineups out there. Below you can find links to all the excellent articles written by RotoBaller staff in Week 2. Matchups analysis, rankings, last minute waiver wire ads, […]

Beating the Week Two Waiver Wire: Last Minute Adds

Welcome to Week 2 of the season RotoBallers. The fantasy football season is basically 17 week-long cycles where you go through a process of trying to create a team with the best chance to win for the week and for the season. Generally, the week goes something like this; Sunday you get up and indulge […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 2: Karlos Williams, Cole Beasley, Jared Cook

Week 1 of this brand new NFL season is already in the books, and injuries and other issues may be keeping your drafted starters out for this week's games. Teams may be using their star players differently then you expected before the season. In these cases, it may be time to hit the waiver wire […]

Week 2 Deeper Sleepers: T-Mobile and Replacement WR Options

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. So while both Percy Harvin (41%) and Chris Johnson (48%) are obvious targets in this week's waiver wire, they don't make our cut. I'll try to include a player from every position (including D/ST), as long as […]
