Bears vs. Commanders TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Justin Fields, D.J. Moore, Khalil Herbert, Cole Kmet, Sam Howell, Brian Robinson, more

For those who love to hate-watch Thursday Night Football, this matchup with the Chicago Bears visiting the Washington Commanders was picked especially for you! Start with two lackluster teams, and add in a lack of true attractive fantasy options, and you have a recipe for uninterested fans. This is the NFL betting degenerate game of […]

Giants vs. Seahawks MNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Daniel Jones, Matt Breida, Geno Smith, Darren Waller, D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, more

We're back with our Monday Night Football matchups analysis article for the Giants vs. Seahawks. Week 4 is just about in the books, and we'll get the final matchup of the week tonight.

Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 4 Matchup Analysis

Welcome back RotoBallers to our Week 4 matchup analysis and Start Em, Sit Em column for fantasy football. Last week featured some absolute stud performances on defense combined with an outlandish day on offense from Miami. There weren't as many spike weeks, but there were a lot of unsung heroes. Also, we have our first London […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 4: Keenan Allen, CeeDee Lamb, Deebo Samuel, Tutu Atwell, Adam Thielen

Week 3 saw many usual suspects finish in the top 12 at receiver, including Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, and Ja'Marr Chase. A few cheaper DFS standouts exceeded expectations as WR1s, including Adam Thielen, Tank Dell, and Mike Williams (featured here last week). Week 4 is another tightly priced week in DFS. Players are […]

Fantasy Football Week 4 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Lamar Jackson, Mike Evans, Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon

The weekly busts column at RotoBaller is back for another week! We're far enough into the year that fantasy managers may be worried that some of their players are busts for the season, and not just a must-start having an off day. There are some players that fall into that category (Jahan Dotson, Kyle Pitts, […]

With three weeks of the NFL season now wrapped up, it is time to focus our attention on Week 4 and determine what defenses are best to play.  It was an unexpected week in terms of my Week 3 D/ST rankings, as two of our top-five ranked defenses performed awfully and ranked in the bottom […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

Survivor doomsday came early this year. Week 3 knocked out just over half of the remaining entrants that had survived the first two weeks. Sunday saw the Jaguars, Cowboys, and Ravens all go down, all of which were very popular picks in Week 3. And then you have people who forget to enter a pick […]

Top Fantasy Football D/ST Rankings (Weeks 4, 5, 6, 7) - Defense Streamers and Starts

Welcome to the first installment of my Fantasy Matchmaker for Defenses (DST) article series. In today’s fantasy football world, the Defense/Special Teams (D/ST) starting roster spot is slowly becoming less common. Some prefer to replace that spot with another WR or flex. Half the leagues I am in do not have a DST. Some see […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Week 3 of the NFL season gave us three teams that were underdogs by a touchdown or more leave victorious. Plus, an explosion of offense from the Miami Dolphins.

Week 4 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

Entering this season, IDP managers faced a down year in individual defensive player rankings. Specifically, it was a season without a clear and unquestioned top-overall defender who should be drafted before all others. Shaquille Leonard was once this type of fantasy defender, but he lost that crown to injury and competition on his own team. […]

Lions vs. Packers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Jared Goff, Sam LaPorta, Jordan Love, Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Romeo Doubs, Luke Musgrave

Our string of two straight Thursday Night Football bangers came to an end last week when the San Francisco 49ers trampled all over the New York Giants, so we now turn our attention to an NFC North clash between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. Both of these teams have retooled in the […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 3: Tyler Lockett, Mike Williams, Jordan Addison, Zay Flowers, Josh Reynolds

Week 2 saw more than its fair share of breakout fantasy/DFS performances from up-and-coming receivers - Nico Collins, Puka Nacua, Josh Reynolds, and George Pickens all finished as top 12 receivers for the week despite having sub-$6,000 salaries on DraftKings. DFS pricing tends to get sharper as the season progresses. This can already be felt […]

Fantasy Football Week 3 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dameon Pierce, Kyle Pitts, Rhamondre Stevenson, Justin Fields

I’ll admit, I was wrong about Puka Nacua. I listed the wide receiver as a bust in Week 2, thinking there was no way he would get anywhere close to the 10 catches and 119 yards he gathered in Week 1. Instead, Stafford peppered Nacua with 20 targets and the rookie now leads the league […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Once is happenstance. Twice is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. We're learning more and more about these 32 football teams as the weeks go by but we still have a little bit to go before we really grasp a sense of the power rankings. There is a bevy of teams favored by a touchdown […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

What a difference a week makes. Look at how the media reacted to Week 1 and compare that to Week 2. Some were doubting the Bills after a rough opener but they took care of business against the Raiders. But more needs to be seen from them especially when they go up against a top-10 […]

Welcome back to our Week 3 Kicker Rankings, Streamers and Starts for fantasy football.

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target for Week 3 - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Thankfully for fantasy managers, offenses bounced back in Week 2 and gave us some high-scoring games. There is still plenty of room for growth for many teams in the NFL, but at least we saw something more after a very underwhelming Week 1. We also saw some very good and very bad offensive line performances […]
