It has been an amazing season, and we're finally at the end of it. This weekend's race is the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This 1.5-mile track is super abrasive and quite unique in shape. This creates high tire wear, forcing drivers to manage their tires for sustained speed over a long... […]

Hey RotoBallers, the weekend is here, and it's time to scout the waiver wire for some potential pickups to help bolster your fantasy roster.

Chase Brown has not scored a touchdown since Week 1, but I am starting him against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. His eight catches against Tennessee were worth more in PPR than his entire rushing line. He gets an Atlanta defense that Tampa Bay ran through last week. Braelon Allen presents the tougher decision. He […]

The quarterback position is a perennial favorite of super-into-it fantasy football managers who want to focus on skill positions in their drafts. It often pays off. Not only are there several QBs each year that seemingly "come out of nowhere" and become must-start players at their position for long stretches of the season, but streaming […]

Eight weeks into the 2026 NFL season, fantasy managers can see that even the most reliable players aren't immune to a bad matchup. Look at the Chicago running back from last week. At least D'Andre Swift was kind enough to score three touchdowns last week, because otherwise that would have been a miserable fantasy day. […]

The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday evening in preparation for the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race on Sunday afternoon. The 40-car field all took the track for a combined 50-minute session. Below you will find key notes from the practice session as well as the practice […]

Pittsburgh has the most favorable remaining schedule for wide receivers in this analysis. Houston has the best fantasy-playoff run. Buffalo sits at the opposite end, with a difficult month ahead and two especially tough matchups during Weeks 15–17. The opportunities are different, too.

Jonah Coleman just helped the Denver Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs with 104 scrimmage yards and the winning touchdown. Javonte Williams gained only 56 rushing yards for the Dallas Cowboys, but still handled 24 carries. Denver's favorable matchups extend into December. Dallas gets a good month before a much harder playoff draw, while the […]

Mike Gesicki has scored in five straight games, while Greg Dulcich has collected 13 catches over his last three appearances without a touchdown. Dulcich's steadier volume gives him the edge in PPR; Gesicki brings the stronger touchdown case. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans are on bye, leaving Pat Freiermuth managers searching for a replacement. […]
