The quarterback position always gets the spotlight in college football, and this week brings a new challenge in CFF leagues with key QBs such as Darian Mensah and a bye. Fantasy managers who were relying on those must-start options will have to pivot, and we're here to help with our Week 6 college fantasy football quarterback […]

Who Should I Drop? Who Should I Keep? Some of the most common Week 5 fantasy football cut candidates include players like Dontayvion Wicks, Kyler Murray, Jauan Jennings, Marvin Harrison Jr., Jaylen Wright, Kaelon Black, Darren Waller, Joe Mixon, and Kyle Pitts Sr. However, don't worry, we are here to help you make the right […]

By Week 6, we think we know the best offenses and who to target in plus matchups, but schedules aren't created equal, and college football will never fail to surprise us. That said, we're here to help you identify the top offense to stream in Week 6. Below are our Week 6 college fantasy football […]

I had an abysmal week in Week 5. My seven-, nine-, and 10-point picks all lost. The group as a whole didn't do much better. "MIZ#2" led the way with 43 points. "BKNoleGirl" was the only other entry with 40 points. 10 more entries finished between 35 and 40 points. "Rad" and "Dr.SteveBrule" went from […]

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) was set to be a dominant target-earner and clear No. 1 receiver for his new team after signing a huge contract with them in the offseason. But the endless injury carousel had other plans. Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain when he was tackled by a defender while […]

Most teams are in the thick of conference schedules, meaning there aren't a ton of "obvious" plus matchups for defenses. Streaming is the name of the game in the middle of the year, and we're here to help you find the best available option for Week 6. Below, check out RotoBaller's Week 6 college fantasy […]

Just four weeks into the NFL season, there are tons of injuries to sort through, and byes weeks are here to take away some of our must-start players in Week 5. Don't worry, though, because we're here to assist with your free-agent acquisitions with our Week 5 RotoBaller staff waiver wire picks, including Tyler Allgeier, […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another action-packed NFL slate is in the books, and similar to Week 3, injuries stole most of the headlines. On Sunday, managers saw many high-end players exit early, including Ja'Marr Chase, Saquon Barkley, and Lamar Jackson, which further suggests the importance of stashing high-impact backups. Below, we will look at some sneaky high-upside […]

There are now four full weeks of NFL football completed for the 2026 season. That means that there is a lot of data to consider, and the fantasy football picture is coming more into focus. As players solidify their roles, injuries continue to pile up, and athletes look to break out and surprise, there are […]

The MLB playoffs are rolling along, with all four Division Series in action today, and there are still plenty of opportunities across a variety of markets. If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks will all use the odds on the most unique and fastest-growing sports prediction site—Novig. If […]

Last week, there were a high number of big names who graced this article - Justin Herbert, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., Chris Godwin Jr. - and while it was just one week, none of them have me regretting my decision thus far. Yes, Harrison and Thomas both found the end zone, but neither […]

Running back is all about opportunity, but opportunity means a lot more when the matchup is right. In Week 5, several backs are walking into situations where volume, game script, and defensive weaknesses could create monster fantasy performances. Jaylen Warren and Chase Brown are two names I’m especially interested in this week, and both have […]

Wide receiver is where fantasy managers can get burned by chasing last week’s box score. In Week 5, I’m leaning heavily into opportunity, matchup, and underlying usage rather than simply trusting the names we drafted in August. Michael Wilson and Malik Nabers are walking into situations I want to attack, while some bigger names have […]

Week 5 is where fantasy football gets uncomfortable. We’ve got quarterbacks who have been putting up monster numbers but suddenly face nightmare matchups, and others who haven’t exactly lit up the scoreboard but are walking into fantasy-friendly situations. And this week, I’m leaning into the matchups. The biggest trap? Assuming early season production automatically makes […]

Matchups matter, and in Week 5, they matter more than the name on the back of the jersey. That’s especially true in Week 5, where several fantasy-relevant players are walking into situations that could completely change their outlook. This is the week to trust the numbers, attack the favorable matchups, and stop letting reputation make […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our Week 5 defense (D/ST) streamers, starts, and tiered rankings. Each week of the fantasy football season, we will rank every defense from No. 1 to No. 32 and break them into tiers along with matchup analysis. This article will be your go-to stop for all defensive rankings and streamers. For Week […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith was in a great spot to take over as his team's top wide receiver after the departure of A.J. Brown this offseason, but the season hasn't started how his fantasy managers would have hoped. Smith did show his upside with a big Week 2, but he was disappointing in […]

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 […]

Not only did Week 4 throw another avalanche of injuries at us, but we also saw another big FAAB "prize" in Keenan Allen follow in Jonah Coleman's "get injured after FAAB runs" footsteps. Every week brings a new reminder of what truly remains within our control! Even so, we're always ready with several pivots thanks […]

Week 4 was filled with memorable performances across all fantasy positions. However, it also served as a brutal reminder of how quickly injuries can change the outlooks for teams and fantasy managers. Things will get even more complicated in Week 5 now that bye weeks are starting. Only two teams are on bye in Week […]

Five weeks into the college football season, fantasy managers have enough information to start forming strong opinions. That can also create some of the best trade windows of the year, especially when one ugly performance, an injury, or an unsustainable touchdown streak starts carrying too much weight. Caleb Hawkins is getting plenty of work without […]

This NFL season is shaping up to be quite interesting. Just a few weeks ago, we were talking about the Bills as being unbeatable, Atlanta vying for the No. 1 pick, and a whole host of injuries in San Francisco. It just goes to show that you never know what you are going to get […]

Throughout NFL history (and all of professional sports), some players have become synonymous with their number. Whether it's because of their longevity on the field or their Hall of Fame trajectory, most NFL fans can name the player associated with a jersey number without thinking for long. In this piece, we will look to name […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) was a big question mark heading into the 2026 season. And it wasn't due to his performance in 2025. He led the league in yards per reception in 2025 among qualifying receivers, with over 21.3 yards per reception. His stat line of 47 catches for 1,003 yards and […]

The Buffalo Bills traded their second round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears in exchange for wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) and a fifth round pick in this past offseason. In Week 1, Moore immediately broke out with five catches on eight targets for 100 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he […]

Tight end can be a tricky position for fantasy football since there are a few high-end options and a large drop-off to the next tier, in both consistency and upside. If you're looking for strong options aside from the locked-in weekly no-brainers, there are some players stepping up. Depending on the offense and quarterback, tight […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) wasn't able to play in his team's upset Week 4 win over the Detroit Lions. In his absence, we saw second-year pro and first-round draft pick WR Tetairoa McMillan have a dominant game, catching 14 of 16 targets for 192 yards and two touchdowns. McMillan fumbled once, but […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) wasn't very involved in the Saints' offense in his first few games with his new team. It was a strange development, considering they opened the vaults to sign him to a four-year, $48 million contract to join the team. Etienne had a resurgent season as the […]

We're four weeks into the fantasy football season, and we've reached the first bye weeks of the year. As fantasy teams' depth is tested, roster slots are extremely valuable, especially with all the injuries piling up across the league. Since every slot is precious, carrying an injured player can be tough, so it's important to […]
