Chiefs Re-Sign C.J. Spiller

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed running back C.J. Spiller on Tuesday, according to sources. Spiller has all of two rushes for the Chiefs in 2017, and that came back on Oct. 19 against the Raiders. With both backups Charcandrick West (illness) and Akeem Hunt (ankle, shoulder) dinged up, Spiller could have to serve as Kareem […]

Sam Bradford Returning To Practice Tuesday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) will return to practice Tuesday. Bradford last played on Sept. 11 before being put on Injured Reserve. The Vikes now have several weeks to decide whether they want to add Bradford to the roster over backup Teddy Bridgewater for the team's playoff run. There's zero chance Bradford is making […]

Deshaun Watson Ahead Of Schedule In Rehab

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) has a chance at participating in organized team activities (OTAs) because he's ahead of schedule in his rehab, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. That's great news on Watson's progress from a torn ACL. Even if he doesn't take part in OTAs, Watson is fully expected to be ready […]

Jets Expect To Be Active In Free Agency

According to New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan, the team is set to be “very active” in free agency this offseason. It’s easy to say that now when there is $80 million in cap space currently available, plus the big cuts the team will make with players such as defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson. However, […]

Christian Hackenberg May Not Be Done In Green Yet

The New York Jets tried their best to hand their 2017 starting quarterback job to quarterback Christian Hackenberg, but Hackenberg proved last summer he is simply not an NFL quarterback (or backup). He was so bad, in fact, that the team didn’t even give the second-year pro any game action when starter Josh McCown went […]

Jets Open To Bringing Back Josh McCown

Quarterback Josh McCown was originally looked at as an afterthought on the New York Jets prior to the 2017 season with the team desperately doing whatever they could to hand the starting gig to Christian Hackenberg. With Hackenberg tripping over himself at every step, though, combined with McCown’s surprisingly solid play, McCown played himself into […]

LeSean McCoy To Be "Close Call" For Wild-Card Weekend

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy's (ankle) status is expected to be a game-time decision and "close call" heading into the team's matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. McCoy exited the Bills Week 17 matchup against the Dolphins with an ankle injury, but X-rays were negative. The offense […]

Jamison Crowder Has Disappointing Season Finale

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder had just three catches on seven targets for 25 yards in a disappointing loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. It was just his second game with less than 9.7 fantasy points in PPR formats over his last nine, and it came against a team he torched […]

Kapri Bibbs Totals 100 Scrimmage Yards Against Giants

With Samaje Perine exiting early with an ankle injury, Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs rushed 12 times for 47 yards and caught eight of nine targets for an additional 53 yards in relief. A late-season free-agent signing, Bibbs acquitted himself well enough down the stretch in Washington to get a look from the Redskins […]

Samaje Perine Injures Ankle, Exits Early

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine rushed just twice for three yards before injuring his ankle and missed the remainder of Sunday's loss to the Giants. It was a disappointing end to the season for the rookie runner who showed some promise as a between-the-tackles grinder for a short time after Rob Kelley was placed […]

Kirk Cousins Falls Flat In Season Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins had an awful game to close out the 2017 season, completing 20 of 37 passes for just 158 yards and three interceptions. He did rush for a 12-yard touchdown but couldn't get anything going in the passing game. It was the wrong time for Cousins to hit a sour note, […]

Devonta Freeman Signs Five Year Contract Extension with the Atlanta Falcons

Wednesday morning, The Atlanta Falcons announced they had reached a five-year contract extension with running back Devonta Freeman. The extension is worth $41.25 million with $22 million guaranteed and a $15 million signing bonus for Freeman. Freeman's contract, with its average yearly salary of $8.25 million, makes him the highest-paid running back with a multi-year contract […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/5/16)

The NCAA’s television partners trumpeted the week that was as the “greatest” opening weekend in the history of college football. In fact, the slate of games lived up to this over-hype, but not for the reasons originally intended. While pundits and pigskin propagandists waxed on (and on) about match-ups between the “Power Five” elites, programs […]

Cardinals Sign Mike Jenkins, Adding Depth to a Top D/ST

The Cardinals signed CB Mike Jenkins this morning, according to Adam Schefter. Tampa Bay opted not to resign Jenkins after a mediocre performance last year. Jenkins started 5 games for the Buccaneers, and compiled 17 tackles and 5 pass deflections. Arizona is currently shopping for depth at the CB position, and they are set to […]

Kirk Cousins Stepped Up for Redskins in 2015

After all the RG3 drama, it was time for Kirk Cousins to put up or shut up in 2015. He didn't have the history of being a great fantasy quarterback, but over the second half of the season he became one of the stronger options available and was even one of the highest scoring players of many fantasy […]

Lamar Miller Has Newfound Fantasy Value In Houston

The Miami Dolphins were a train wreck in 2015, plenty of the blame should be put on the shoulders of the coaching staff for using running back Lamar Miller so poorly. The Dolphins underutilized one of their best offensive weapons, and Miller was wise to jettison the Dolphins for Houston in free agency. Miller finished last season averaging […]

Julian Edelman undergoes successful surgery on foot, all systems go for 2016

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman underwent a second surgery on his foot which was broken back in Week 10 of the 2015 season. He has been seen wearing a protective boot, but the team fully expects Edelman to be recovered in time for training camp. This is great news for a Patriots team that expects […]

Odell Beckham Jr. 2015 Season Keeps Him On a Historic Pace

If I had to describe Odell Beckham’s sophomore season in one word I would use the word ‘fascinating’. As far as his ability goes, OBJ continued to amaze and dazzle fans of football. Of course, I don’t think I could write this article without mentioning some of the negative aspects of his personality that shined […]

Eric Decker's Memorable 2015 Season

Eric Decker was certainly a product of his environment in 2015. His undeniable chemistry with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick resulted in 1,027 receiving yards, 12 touchdowns, and 80 receptions in a season where Decker played all but one game. He played alongside the beast they call Brandon Marshall, forming the best wide receiver tandem in New York […]

Derek Carr Looking Like a QB1 For 2016

The second year signal-caller for the Raiders showed extremely positive signs in 2015, and is poised to be a QB1 caliber player next season. With an arsenal of young playmakers on offense, there's nothing to dislike here. Derek Carr followed up a decent rookie campaign with almost 4000 passing yards (3987) and 32 passing touchdowns. […]

Aldon Smith Agrees to Deal With Raiders

The talented defensive end/linebacker hybrid has an agreement in place to remain in Oakland. The problem is he's serving a one year suspension for violating the substance abuse policy. That being said, this is worth talking about because if he gets his act together he can really help that Raider defense. In general the Raiders […]

From Timeshare to Bona Fide Stud - Devonta Freeman's 2015

Thirty ninth. That's where second-year Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman ranked in RotoBaller's PPR positional rankings for Week 1 of the 2015 season. By Week 7, he was No. 1 on that same list. The former Florida State standout burst onto the fantasy scene with a three-touchdown, 193-yards-from-scrimmage eruption against the Dallas Cowboys in […]

Matt Hasselbeck Joins the Rest of the 1998 Draft in Retirement

In 2010 the Seattle Seahawks became the first team to finish below .500 and still make the playoffs. Coming off three losses in their last four games of the season, the Seattle Seahawks beat the St. Louis Rams in Week 17 to limp into the playoffs at the top of the NFC West. Under center for the 10th […]

Vernon Davis Agrees to Deal With Redskins

After signing with the Broncos last season, tight end Vernon Davis has a new home yet again. Davis will now join Kirk Cousins and Jordan Reed in Washington. It will be interesting to see if Davis can find a niche with the Skins, or if he will be completely eclipsed by Reed. I think that […]

Peyton Manning Deserves to Walk Away a Champion

The high snap soared over his head and danced into the end zone. The first play of Super Bowl 48 resulted in a safety for the Seattle Seahawks, a foreshadowing of what was to come for Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos. In what was hyped to be the league's number one offense against the number one defense, the Broncos fell […]

Packers To Sign Jared Cook

The Green Bay Packers have been in dire need for a tight end ever since Jermichael Finley. Richard Rodgers filled in will for the Pack in 2015, most notably on that miraculous TD catch to end the game against Detroit. However, they still needed a tight end who could create more matchup problems. Jared Cook […]

Julius Thomas Disappointed Fantasy Owners in 2015

"Orange Julius" left fantasy owners with a bitter taste in their mouths in 2015. Leaving the high powered Denver Broncos for the rebuilding Jacksonville Jaguars was expected to hurt Julius Thomas' fantasy value a little bit, but a drop-off of this level was shocking. Despite Thomas recording almost the same amount of yards he did […]

Alfred Morris Headed to Big D

Alfred Morris has inked a two-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, moving from one NFC East team to another. Despite bursting onto the scene in his first year, Morris has seen his production decline over the last couple of seasons. In 2015 he saw Matt Jones take over the starting role, and Morris only rushed […]

Gary Barnidge Blows Barn Door Open in 2015

It took Gary Barnidge seven years to make his mark in the NFL but he made up for lost time in 2015. At the ripe age of 30, Barnidge was a revelation for the Cleveland Browns and finished the year as the number two ranked fantasy tight end. At 6'6 and 250 pounds, you would […]

Martellus Bennett Traded To Patriots

Martellus Bennett is now teaming up with Tom Brady after being traded to New England for a fourth-round pick. The big tight end should make a nice complement to Rob Gronkowski in the two tight end sets the Patriots like to run. Bennett gets a huge upgrade going from Jay Cutler to Tom Brady, and […]
