Fantasy Sleepers: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Eric Decker, Rueben Randle, Shane Vereen

The battle of New York on Sunday will pit the Jets against the Giants in a rare game between the stadium mates. While the talking points and bragging rights for the game result are providing great entertainment, the fantasy side of things is equally exciting. Both teams should score enough points to give great fantasy […]

Running Back Outlooks: LeGarrette Blount and David Johnson

The matchup game is always a chore when planning a weekly fantasy football lineup. The running back position is the biggest pain because of how inconsistent the production has been this season. You need to channel Miss Cleo to properly forecast what scenarios will lead to a big performance from a RB2 or RB3 when […]

Week 13 Lineup Busts: Drew Brees And DeMarco Murray To Struggle?

Boy, when it rains it pours, ya know? Whether it be a freaky receding hairline or being forced to live in Philadelphia, both Drew Brees and Darren McFadden know a thing or two about hard knocks. Sure, they’ve managed to make some impressive money and find some success out on the football field—one’s is admittedly […]

Week 13 RB Outlooks: C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman Deserve Strong Consideration?

Not the most household of halfback names, huh? Well, to be completely honest, if the Denver Broncos’ offense keeps improving like it has in recent weeks under Coach Gary Kubiak and quarterback Brock Osweiler, both C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman could be two of the most productive running backs in the league. Seeing as how […]

Week 13 QB Outlooks: Ben Roethlisberger and Ryan Fitzpatrick to Dominate?

Ben Roethlisberger and Ryan Fitzpatrick kind of look alike, don’t they? Think about it—if Big Ben would just grow his beard out a little bit—okay, quite a bit, actually—he and Fitzpatrick could almost look like distant cousins. While a crazy thought, the looks of both Roethlisberger and Fitzpatrick play a very small role in their […]

Week 13 Outlooks: Andy Dalton And Jay Cutler To Put Up Big Numbers?

Whether it be the red hair or general jerk demeanor, Andy Dalton and Jay Cutler are often on the wrong end of many football-related jokes. It’s not that they lack talent—though they’re certainly familiar with boneheaded play, from time to time—it’s just that they’re easy targets for witty fantasy football fans. That said, come Sunday, […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Alfred Blue, Jaelen Strong and Devonta Freeman

Here is some good news for anyone who owns Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue. Although the Texans have a tough Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Blue is expected to be near 100 percent for the contest. Blue is officially probably for the matchup with a sore back. He’s reportedly a little banged […]

Fantasy Fallers: Allen Hurns, Dexter McCluster and Nick Foles

This should not come as much of a surprise to anyone who has been following Rotoballer this week, but the Jacksonville Jaguars have officially ruled out wide receiver Allen Hurns for Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. Hurns absence will mean an increase in targets for Allen Robinson and tight end Julius Thomas. Thomas is […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker

The New York Giants have made plenty fantasy owners of wide receivers extremely happy this season. It's okay, though, the Giants have won two Super Bowls in the past ten years; they can share the wealth. Now it's time for owners of Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker to get excited as well, as the New […]

Wide Receiver Outlook: Martavis Bryant, Emmanuel Sanders and Michael Floyd

If you own Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant you can take a big sigh of relief. The homerun threat returned to practice on Thursday after missing time with a hip injury. It sounds like the team fully expects Bryant to play in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts. He has a great matchup this […]

Fantasy Fallers: Eddie Lacy and James Starks

Just when we thought Eddie Lacy was in, head coach Mike McCarthy pulled him back out. Last night, the Green Bay Packers overcame a 20-point deficit and stunned the Detroit Lions, 27-23, with a last-play hail marry by Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers in the end zone, saving their season. But confusion has arisen once […]

Week 13 Running Back Busts: DeMarco Murray and Lamar Miller

The crunch time of the fantasy football season is here. For most standard fantasy leagues, this is the final week of the regular season. Many of us are in a “win or go home” situation and will need a victory to make the fantasy playoffs. The decisions of starting and sitting the correct players are […]

Week 13 Tight End Outlooks: Travis Kelce & Gary Barnidge

The tight end position has not been this perplexing in years. New England Patriots superstar Rob Gronkowski has been the only must-start tight end all season, but he will most likely miss Sunday’s game with a knee injury. The former elite Jimmy Graham struggled in his first season with the Seattle Seahawks before being ruled out for […]

Tight End Outlooks: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Ladarius Green and Owen Daniels

If you still own Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins in any redraft leagues, it’s time for you to drop him. He remained limited in practice this week and we have no reason to believe that he will play in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. If he doesn’t play, it will be the […]

Ameer Abdullah, Golden Tate Decent Flex Play Options vs. Packers?

Thursday Night Football brings us a matchup of NFC North division rivals as the Green Bay Packers take on the Detroit Lions. The two teams met just three weeks ago, and the Lions were the surprise winners at Lambeau Field, prevailing 18-16 despite Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers throwing for 333 yards and two touchdown passes. […]

Leonard Hankerson Not Practicing Again, Andre Ellington Remains Sidelines and a Terrelle Pryor Update

Earlier this season, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Leonard Hankerson seemed to breakout as a great WR3 each and every week. Well, he hasn’t even been on the radar the past few weeks due to injuries. And if you have been holding onto him in hopes that he’ll breakout again, you’ll have to wait a little […]

Jonathan Stewart to Rest, Carcandrick West to Share Carries and Johnny Manziel to Dallas?

If you own Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart, you will not be happy to hear the latest news coming out of Carolina, especially if you’re still competing for your league championship. According to head coach Ron Rivera, the team is going to start looking for chances to rest Stewart in games to keep him fresh […]

Danny Amendola Practices, Tom Brady and Co. Set to Pick Apart the Philadelphia Eagles

Good news for the New England Patriots, bad news for the Philadelphia Eagles. Danny Amendola practiced on Wednesday and could be set to take the field Sunday, adding himself to a long list of players that could hurt the Eagles and put up big numbers for fantasy owners. If Amendola is able to play, he will […]

Marqise Lee Might Start, Peyton Manning Has Cast Removed and a Kendall Wright Update

With Allen Hurns doubtful to play in Week 13, the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to need another receiver to step up and help Blake Bortles in the team’s passing game. Head coach Gus Bradley is hoping that guy can be Marquis Lee. According to the Florida Times Union, Bradley said Lee has a “good shot” […]

Will the Tables Keep Turning for Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford?

Cruising at 6-0, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers faced off against the Denver Broncos in a showdown and showcase of two undefeated teams. But the Broncos defense shut down Rodgers and the suddenly vulnerable Packers offense; the beginning of a midseason collapse for Green Bay. The Packers have lost four of their last five games, […]

Calvin Johnson Expected to Play, Kevin White Itching to Play and Ryan Tannehill Is Excited

Good news for fantasy football players who own Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Megatron is fully expected to play on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to NFL Network’s Albert Breer. I expect Johnson to have a huge day tonight against the Packers. He was also questionable for the team’s Thanksgiving game […]

With Rob Gronkowski Out, Scott Chandler Should Thrive as Tom Brady’s New Weapon

The National Football League’s best tight end Rob Gronkowski left last week’s game against the Denver Broncos with a very painful knee injury. Gronk owners gasped as they saw him writhing on the ground in considerable pain. Further exams showed no long-term knee damage and Gronk released an uninterrupted video earlier in the week claiming […]

Big Ben Roethlisberger Practices, Martavis Bryant Sits Out With a Hip Injury, DeAngelo Williams an RB1 For Week 13

Ben Roethlisberger left last week’s match-up with the Seattle Seahawks late in the fourth quarter due to blurred vision and concussion-like symptoms. Historically, Big Ben is known to be a tough player so when he comes out of a very close game there should be some concern involved. Conflicting news came out in the beginning […]

Alfred Blue and DeAndre Hopkins Limited; Allen Hurns Unlikely to Play

The Houston Texans have had a lot of bad luck lately when it comes to their running backs. Start Arian Foster hasn’t been able to stay healthy for years, and this season has been no exception. And now backup Alfred Blue is banged up as well. Blue is reportedly dealing with a sore back and […]

Danny Amendola and Calvin Johnson Limited, Vincent Jackson Doesn’t Practice

It is safe to assume that nobody was happier to hear about Rob Gronkowski’s bruised knee that quarterback Tom Brady. Not only will he have Gronk back in a few weeks, Brady can also look forward to having wide receiver Danny Amendola back in the lineup soon. Amendola was limited in practice on Wednesday, but […]

Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery Both Great Plays Against 49ers

The Chicago Bears are coming off of their biggest win of the year, a game in which they defeated division rival Green Bay on Thanksgiving.  The Bears didn't play an amazing game, but they did enough to win.  The Bears are seeking a second-straight win this week against a new-look San Francisco 49ers team. When […]

Ryan Mallett Works Out for Ravens, Charcandrick West Practices and Devonta Freeman Cleared

Just when you think former New England Patriots and Houston Texans quarterback Ryan Mallett may never see the football field again, the Baltimore Ravens have come knocking. Mallett worked out with the Ravens on Wednesday, but left without signing a deal. The Ravens are likely just updating their emergency list in case something was to […]

Andrew Luck Throwing Pain Free, Martellus Bennett Practicing and Ryan Mathews Sidelined

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said recently that he plans to stick with Andrew Luck as his starting quarterback as soon as the former No. 1 overall draft pick is healthy. Well, it sounds like Luck won’t be out of action for too much longer. Luck said on Wednesday that he has been throwing […]

Can You Count on David Johnson to Replace Chris Johnson?

One of the biggest surprises of the 2015 season was the reemergence of Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson.  Johnson is best known for his days as a Tennessee Titan, an era in which he once rushed for 2,000 yards in a single season.  Johnson also spent time with the New York Jets but never […]
