Did the high-scoring action from Week 1 make you feel alive?! Although we can't simply take one set of box scores and extrapolate the entire year, there is still intel to be gleaned and priors to adjust. We saw several double-digit fantasy performances from kickers; I count 12 by standard scoring measures going into Monday […]

Welcome to the Wednesday after Week 1, the time to victory-lap your initially successful sleepers and breakouts while panicking about the busts. Week 1 is a time to watch for usage and opportunities. Some risers, like Chuba Hubbard, triumphed over position competition. Some fallers, like Travis Etienne Jr., were nowhere close to a bellcow title. […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit in most leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3 ANALYSIS: So, that was a bit of a surprise. Entering Week 1, there were hints that rookie Kaelon Black was second on San Francisco's running back depth chart, but that wasn't fully confirmed until Jordan James was a healthy scratch. Black not only won the […]

Week 1 was total chaos. We had far more than 10 situations to watch closely, but overall, we got clarity and answers on several in the opening week. Rashee Rice’s role was significantly diminished; Parker Washington was the Jaguars' WR1; Mike McDaniel’s offense looked bad; and Arizona was heavily split. However, we still left some […]

Week 1 was our annual reminder that NFL head coaches don't care about fantasy football … at all. In fact, some evidence may suggest that they actively dislike a hobby that helps elevate the salaries of everyone in the league, with some schemes and game scripts seemingly engineered specifically to kill our fun … at […]

We're here to help you find the top available QB starter with our Week 2 fantasy football quarterback rankings. Below, see where key […]

Two weeks is enough to make the board look very different from the one we had in August. Preseason depth charts still matter, but actual carries, targets, and quarterback usage matter more now. A few lightly rostered players have already turned good camp stories into jobs we can trust. Week 3 also gives us different […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to NFL Week 2. If you're new here, this is your weekly DFS Game Stacks blueprint! Every week, I use hard data instead of "gut feelings" to build slate-winning stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel. I hope you had Bears-Panthers action last week, as that game went for an insane 96 total points!... […]

The middle and late rounds of a fantasy basketball draft are where category needs begin to matter more than name value. A manager who leaves the early rounds short on assists or steals cannot fix the problem by simply drafting the next familiar scorer. The better move is to find guards whose roles and statistical […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1. He suffered it in that game, putting up 33.8 PPR fantasy points and easily crushing all other Panthers pass-catchers in productivity. It was a surprising performance. […]

As if Week 1 wasn't crazy enough, Week 2 brought it as well. The Ohio State and Texas game was everything we thought it would be and more. Two more FCS teams won over FBS teams. The crazy part is that both of them were favored. A top-10 team fell to an unranked opponent, and […]

Who is the best team ever? Since college football began in 1869, not one person has seen every championship team play. The ambiguity of early polls sometimes crowned several champions per season. The AP Poll in 1936 helped to alleviate that, but there were still issues. Issues that still aren't completely resolved. When I was […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 1 is officially in the books, which means it's time to turn our attention to Week 2. While many are looking to target breakout players on the waiver wire like Devaughn Vele and Tyler Shough, savvy managers should pivot to high-upside stashes who could prove league-winning down the stretch. Below, we will […]
