Week 5 of the NFL season is here, and with it comes a fresh edition of my Warning Signals column. In this piece, I highlight a handful of players whose recent body of work, team trends, real-life roster changes, or upcoming matchups make me wary about their fantasy football production in the near term. I […]

Quarterback play around the league has hit an inconsistent lull. Even some of the game's biggest stars, such as Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford, have been up-and-down this season. Luckily, there are a handful of young guns such as Bryce Young and Michael Penix Jr. who are picking up the proverbial slack. Now that we […]

We are back for the Week 5 NFL Props article! This week brings another opportunity to capitalize on emerging trends, identify favorable matchups, and find value before the betting market fully adjusts. The mission here is to uncover value on the top player props as the season unfolds. With three weeks in the books, we're... […]

I finished at .500 on the picks for the second straight week, but I lost points because of the state of Michigan and the MAC. I'll do better this week. I'm off to a good start. The black cloud is lifting. I can feel it. I only pick FBS vs. FBS games. The lines are […]

Hey RotoBallers! The first full week of the NHL season is behind us, and we're already turning the page to Week 3. Time flies when you are having fun! As we did last week, we will spotlight several widely available players across Yahoo formats (all positions) that managers should target in points and category leagues. […]

First of all, let me congratulate you for clicking on an article with a title like this one. I hope you'll join me on a three-part voyage into the deep crevasses of 9-CAT head-to-head fantasy basketball. Maybe you love fantasy basketball as much as I do and are a true die-hard player. Or maybe you're […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the fifth edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. With another week of NFL action on the horizon, it's time for our weekly dive into sneaky stash options available in all formats.

Injuries continue to pile up. It has made it tough to navigate for some, but as I said last week, you just have to stay afloat during this stretch. Your team will get healthy, and other teams will get bitten by the injury bug. All you have to do right now is field the best […]

We are nearly a quarter of the way through the 2026 fantasy football season already, and it still feels like there are more questions than answers when it comes to player values and rest-of-season outlooks. Can we rely on Drake Maye after a QB1 overall finish last week? Which pass-catcher in Chicago is the one […]

Week 5 has arrived, and the fantasy season is getting interesting. Depending on your league format, you are likely roughly one-third of the way through your regular season. However, there is a lot of football left to be played, and no one can count themselves out just yet, regardless of record. Once we get through […]

Football is a highly physical sport, and unfortunately, that leads to injuries for the players we love to cheer on. Even in just four weeks, many high-profile players have already gotten hurt this season. Jadarian Price, Travis Etienne Jr., and A.J. Brown, among others, remain on injured reserve due to their current ailments. Those three […]

The 2026 MLB season is quickly nearing an end, as we now have only four teams standing in each league. However, let's take a quick detour from the postseason action and rank every team's home/away jersey from worst to best. While some jerseys are iconic (which may give the team an edge), many have recently […]

We have a nice Friday slate with five games tonight. We have some sluggish offenses like Iowa, BYU, and Wyoming. We have some good offenses like Louisville, Florida State, and maybe Iowa State. We also have offenses that can't quit self-sabotage, like Washington, Washington State, and San Jose State. What more can you ask for? […]

We have another 12 games on the main slate this week, and there are some big ones. The Red River Shootout is going to be a nightmare for DFS this year, but there are plenty of other spots. We have an undefeated matchup in Lincoln between Nebraska and Indiana. We have some really good backs […]

With four weeks of our beloved 2026 fantasy football season in the rearview mirror, we know that the impulse is to simply ignore kickers altogether as the initial wave of excitement and sweating lineups wears off. However, looking for edges wherever possible is how you win the most over time! And when the bye weeks […]

Finding the right defense to stream can give you an edge in fantasy football, especially when you target favorable matchups before your league mates.

We're four weeks into the NFL season, and we've officially reached bye-week season, when fantasy managers have an extra layer of strategy to navigate. As you work through your roster choices each week, it's critical to have the right depth options available, especially at critical positions like running back. With multiple players sharing the load […]

I knew I spoke too soon last week, as Week 4 was easily my worst one in cash on DraftKings (aided and abetted by duds from Parker Washington, Jeremiyah Love, and Garrett Wilson. FanDuel was a much bigger success even with those two, as I was able to cash in on big games from Nico... […]

We've been running hot on props lately, and I already feel pretty confident about this next crop of NFL bets for Week 5. Last week, we finished 3-1 with Keenan Allen as a push after he got hurt late in the week and didn't suit up. If you're tired of getting juiced-up odds on traditional […]

One could argue that the most important aspect of dynasty fantasy football is knowing when to bail. It hurts to part with a player who has won you matchups — or maybe even leagues. But the vision for the future is what separates dynasty from redraft formats. The problem with most dynasty "sell" content in […]

The Commanders are coming off a brutal, injury-riddled Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London. However, team morale remains hopeful with the franchise […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) was expected to have an expanded role in his team's offense this season. Coming into the year, the Vikings used a late-round pick on a rookie running back, but didn't sign any big free-agent names. Mason's main competition for touches was set to be veteran RB Aaron Jones, […]
