Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 7: Alec Pierce, Brandon Aiyuk, Allen Lazard

Week 7 will be full of exciting and unexpected games like the NFL has given us all year. The NFL has been full of surprises between the Giants' surprising 5-1 start or the Rams and Bengals looking the way they do after coming off a SuperBowl trip. Hopefully, this DFS article will help you win […]

Booms and Busts: Week 7 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds Including Romeo Doubs, Josh Jacobs, David Montgomery, T.J. Hockenson

It happens every year in fantasy when there comes a time when the injuries begin to mount, causing undervalued players to emerge. That was the case in Week 7 when you scrolled through the leaderboards at each position. Sitting atop the running back list for the week, we saw waiver wire wonder Deon Jackson take […]

Week 7 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

There are some weeks in the NFL season that you simply can't overreact to, and Week 6 was absolutely one of them. We had the 49ers losing to Atlanta, Tampa Bay losing to Pittsburgh, the Ravens blowing another fourth-quarter lead, and Bailey Zappe setting NFL rookie records. When it comes to fantasy football defenses, the […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

A near total survivor doomsday. Three of the top four most selected teams on average in pools, Bucs, Packers, Niners, all went down. The top selected team in most pools, the Rams, were a half away from knocking many contests to less than 100 entrants. This year keeps getting worse and worse for favorites. Strategies […]

Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Although we have six weeks worth of data to help us with our start/sit decisions for fantasy kickers, bye weeks, injuries, and matchups will change the outlooks of the streamer-level players at this position.  Our Week 7 kicker rankings aim to help fantasy managers sort through all the variables that come with the kicker spot […]

Quarterback Starts/Sits for Week 7 - QB vs. Pass Rush Matchups for Lineup Decisions

Week 7 of the NFL season is here, and I continue to understand less and less about this league. In a spot where they should have blown up their opponent, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell flat on their face in a 20-18 defeat. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons caught the San Francisco 49ers […]

Saints vs. Cardinals Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Kyler Murray, Alvin Kamara, James Conner, Chris Olave, Zach Ertz, DeAndre Hopkins

Last week was wild. The NFL kept us on our toes with plenty of large upsets that resulted in some surprising fantasy stars. It’s always a weird week when Deon Jackson and Mike Gesicki are leading their positions. Thankfully, we also saw the return of the Bengals' offense with both Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase […]

Week 7 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

According to many, this week is yet another “Bye-mageddon” for fantasy managers, and it’s hard to argue against that point. With the Bills, Rams, Vikings, and Eagles all on sabbatical, there is no doubt fantasy managers are losing a ton of talent to vacation this week. That means every league will be without the two […]

Chargers vs Broncos Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Melvin Gordon, Russell Wilson, Gerald Everett, Mike Boone

Welcome back everyone to Week 6, and our Monday Night Football matchups analysis article! It's been another fun week of NFL and fantasy football action, hopefully, you're on the verge of winning your matchups (or already have). Now we get one more game on Monday night to finish it off. Below you will find our […]

Welcome back RotoBallers to our Week 6 matchups analysis and Start Em, Sit Em column for fantasy football. Last week was jam-packed with action, kicking off with an upset in London, ending with a great divisional matchup Monday night, and featuring another 70+ point game in between. Something to note is that we have arrived at […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Fantasy Football Week 6

Welcome to Week 6 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the year goes on, the PPGA metric will become more and more predictive. Last week, this article highlighted a lot of good matchups that resulted in big performances and some tough matchups that resulted in duds. Last week's article gave matchup boosts to Gabe Davis, […]

Booms and Busts: Week 6 Fantasy Football Starts and Sits

Hello, fantasy football friends! Ok, wow...that's a lot of F's. Instead of F's, let's focus on another letter in Week 6...the letter B. B as in Bye weeks. For the first time in 2022, we have teams on byes, as the Lions, Titans, Raiders, and Texans won't be available to fantasy managers this week. B […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 6: Chris Godwin, Gabriel Davis, George Pickens

Week 6 will be full of exciting and unexpected games like the NFL has given us all year. The NFL has been full of surprises between the Giants' surprising 4-1 start or the Rams and Bengals looking the way they do after coming off a SuperBowl trip. One thing that should be just as expected: […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets and Avoids

Week 5 saw some upsets, marginal, but it could have been a lot worse. The Jaguars and Packers lost, but what would have been left of survivor pools had the Bucs, Vikings, and Chiefs lost? Week 6 has some favorites, but not the most trustworthy ones. All season long I'll be bringing you weekly survivor […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We had a pretty solid Week 5, getting six of the top 10 defenses correct including having the top three defenses all finish in the top four on the week. Also, two defenses who finished in the top 10 were ranked inside the top 14, which made them playable in 12-team leagues, so that's a […]

Quarterback Starts/Sits for Week 6 - QB vs. Pass Rush Matchups for Lineup Decisions

Week 6 of the NFL season is here. We're a little under one third of the way through the season, and the year just continues to get more and more weird with each passing week. The New York Giants knocked off the Green Bay Packers in London while the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts combined […]

Week 6 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

This is the first week of byes, meaning many of you need streaming options more than ever. In Week 6, IDP managers will be without Maxx Crosby, Jalen Pitre, Jonathan Owens, Johnathan Abram, Jeffery Simmons, Rashad Weaver, Roger McCreary, Aidan Hutchinson, Malcolm Rodriguez, and several other fantasy-relevant defenders. These bye-week losses are even more painful […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Kicker statistics are more useful now that five weeks of the 2022 NFL regular season are in the books, but fantasy kicker projections can vary widely week-to-week, and with bye weeks set to begin, the streaming game at kicker has never been more important. Our Week 6 kicker rankings aim to help fantasy managers fill […]

Commanders vs Bears Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Carson Wentz, David Montgomery, Curtis Samuel, Darnell Mooney, Brian Robinson Jr.

Things I’d rather watch over Thursday Night's game in Week 5: wet paint, dry paint, Sharknado 3D, Thor: The Dark World, and Nathan Peterman vs. Josh Rosen playing Beer Pong. Outside of that, I can pull a Gordon Ramsey on Russell Wilson’s cooking, but there’s no need to beat a dead horse (Broncos pun intended). […]

Chiefs vs Raiders Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Darren Waller, Isiah Pacheco, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Derek Carr, Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Welcome back fellow RotoBallers to Week 5 and our Monday Night Football matchups analysis article! It's been an exciting and wild Week 5 of NFL and fantasy football action, filled with plenty of booms, busts, and injuries, and now we get one more game on Monday night to finish it off. Below you will find […]

Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em - Week 5 Matchups Analysis

Welcome back RotoBallers to our Week 5 matchups analysis and Start Em, Sit Em column for fantasy football. Week 4 was much better for overall fantasy scoring, featuring an NFL matchup with 93 points scored. Many of the big names came through along with some of the backups or fill-ins we picked up. For those who […]

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 5 Lineups - Kyler Murray, Logan Thomas, Rashaad Penny, Diontae Johnson

Week 4 in the NFL brought about a breath of fresh air as the running back position finally came to the forefront of fantasy production.

I'm back for a second straight week of coverage for this WR/CB matchups column. I'll be covering who can't cover their opponent once again (I'm a sucker for a good play on words). I'll do my best to give you a few of my favorite plays and I'm also trying to look for some more […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 5

Welcome to Week 5 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the year goes on, the PPGA metric will become more and more predictive. Results from a small sample usually tell more about how talented a CB's opponents have been rather than the difficulty of the matchup going forward. It is not advised to use this […]

Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 4 was rough for us, landing on just four of the top 10 defenses. It's only one week, so we don't want to overreact, but we do want to examine the process a bit. I've always been a proponent of not elevating a bad defense too high just because of a good matchup. A […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets and Avoids

New England was a first down away in overtime from lining up to kick a field goal that would have decimated survivor pools. Most pools saw Green Bay get picked by about half of entrants remaining. Had they lost, more than 90-95 percent of preexisting entrants from Week 1 would have been gone. That would […]

Quarterback Starts/Sits for Week 5 - QB vs. Pass Rush Matchups for Lineup Decisions

Week 5 of the NFL season is here, and we’re starting to learn more and more about these teams with each passing week. As we get more and more information, it will become even easier to analyze the best matchups on a weekly basis. Right now, we have some details on each team, but we […]

Colts vs Broncos Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Russell Wilson, Jerry Jeudy, Melvin Gordon, Nyheim Hines, Mike Boone, Mo Alie-Cox, Alec Pierce

I hope you all survived last week. With monster weeks from lots of second-tier players such as Josh Jacobs, Miles Sanders, and Jamaal Williams, some of the teams with slow starts might have gotten their revenge.  This week, we have two veteran quarterbacks who are looking to turn their new teams around. Thankfully, both QBs […]

Week 5 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

Week 4 of the NFL season was another wild one. It was filled with a couple of short-term injuries that make you feel for players and worry for your fantasy teams (Tua Tagovailoa and Jonathan Taylor), it had a long-term injury that hurt particularly badly (Javonte Williams), and it had a QB change (Kenny Pickett […]
