Rookie Panic Meter - Buy, Hold or Drop?
Hey, RotoBallers! Happy Halloween to those who celebrated. An entire month of hockey has been played. Players are being moved (Connor Hellebuyck), and others have requested trades (Dylan Larkin and Nikita Kucherov). Fantasy managers are starting to identify potential breakout candidates and are growing concerned about many underperforming stars. However, it is not always about […]

Top NBA Bets: Player Props and Value Picks
We didn't get another King of the Court competition on DraftKings today, but I am keeping my eyes peeled for the next one; don't worry! Hope y'all had a good Halloween weekend and a nice day off yesterday for Election Day! Now that the whole NBA had a day off, that means 28 teams are […]
ESPN College Pick'em Picks Week 10 (2026)
I missed everything from 4 to 9 this week, so it was another bad week. It wasn't for everyone. "BamaBoy" got 49 out of a possible 55 points this week. "PAPIPEREZ" was the only other one in the group to break 40 points (41). This caused some movement at the top of the group after […]
Risers and Fallers: Fantasy Basketball
How early is too early to compare NBA players' performances to the baselines they set last season? It might be a tad early, but here we are only two weeks into the season, and I'm ready to start analyzing some early-season trends. I mean, what else was I supposed to do on a day with […]
NFL Week 9 Power Rankings (2026)
Week 8 in the NFL was a joy to watch. Several divisional races around the league got interesting. The NFC South is a mess, Pittsburgh is in command in the AFC North, and the Lions made up a game in the NFC North. Additionally, there are no more undefeated teams left in the NFL with […]

Every NFL Team's Biggest Bust
The 2026-27 NFL season is nearing the halfway point, and the postseason picture is beginning to take shape. However, let's step back from the current NFL and take a stroll down memory lane. In this piece, we'll identify each NFL team's biggest draft bust of all time. These players were selected with high draft capital […]
When is Alec Pierce Coming Back?
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce signed a four-year, $116 million contract to return to the Colts this offseason, and the team traded Michael Pittman Jr., opening the door for him to be the team's No. 1 option at receiver. Pierce showed a high ceiling in the past and got some hype as a potential […]
When is Jacory Croskey-Merritt Coming Back?
Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt seemed to be working into the top spot in his team's backfield and growing into a solid fantasy producer. The Commanders got Jayden Daniels back from injury, and it was showing some potential momentum coming into the middle of the season. However, Croskey-Merritt's season was derailed in Week 5, […]
When is Carnell Tate Coming Back?
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate was the first receiver taken in the 2026 NFL Draft, going off the board at No. 4 overall to the Titans. While it took him some time to adjust to the league, he seems to be starting to find his rhythm and post some strong games while developing chemistry […]
Wk 9 RBs to Add - Allgeier, Gainwell, Lloyd
Tyler Allgeier and Kenny Gainwell both delivered career-best rushing performances in Week 8, but their waiver value comes from different circumstances. Arizona lost two running backs during its comeback win in Dallas, while Tampa Bay found enough rushing work for both members of its backfield. MarShawn Lloyd belongs in a different category. His immediate production […]
Wk 9 RB to Add - Washington, Johnson, McGowan
Mike Washington Jr. handled 25 carries in Week 8. Emmett Johnson turned five receptions into 128 yards. Seth McGowan's opportunity could change dramatically if Indianapolis moves Jonathan Taylor before the trade deadline. Only Washington's case rests on a newly expanded rushing role. Johnson still works behind Kenneth Walker III, and Taylor remains Indianapolis' starter with […]
Wk 9 WRs to Add - Shakir, Robinson, Flournoy
Khalil Shakir doesn't need a touchdown to deliver a useful PPR afternoon. His five-catch, 64-yard performance against Baltimore was another reminder that Buffalo's passing game has room for him even with D.J. Moore available. Wan'Dale Robinson's touchdown against Cincinnati won't help managers cover his upcoming bye. Ryan Flournoy is available to play in Week 9, […]
Wk 9 WRs to Add - Douglas, Williams, Chism
DeMario Douglas and Kyle Williams scored long touchdowns against Miami, while Efton Chism III led New England in receptions. All three remain widely available on fantasy waiver wires. The opportunity followed A.J. Brown's absence with ankle and knee issues, plus injured-reserve stints for Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins. Brown was limited Wednesday, missed Thursday and […]
When is Breece Hall Coming Back?
A return for New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) appears to be imminent. Hall hasn't played in a game since suffering an injury to his right quadriceps in a 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Following the injury, Hall was considered "week-to-week." However, he has ramped up his practice activity […]
When is Emeka Egbuka Coming Back?
Fantasy managers drafted Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka expecting to see growth in a passing attack without veteran Mike Evans. Instead, they’ve undoubtedly been frustrated by an inconsistent passing offense that has hurt fantasy production across the board. Things took a turn for the worse over the last two weeks, with Egbuka missing […]
When is Travis Etienne Jr. Coming Back?
On the surface, Travis Etienne Jr. signing with the New Orleans Saints in free agency seemed like a potential game-changing move for fantasy managers. Etienne was coming off arguably his best professional season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and was joining an ascending offense with a young quarterback and offensive-minded head coach. Instead, fantasy managers were […]
Fantasy Genius Week 8 Not-So-Serious Recap
Well, there are weird weeks in the NFL, and then there's whatever Week 8 was. A quarterback completed zero passes (on three attempts) and his team won. A player went to the hospital, returned to the game, and his team won. You get the idea... The TLDR version? This data is real. This "analysis" is […]
