Fantasy football has become a war of attrition. On some levels, maybe it always was. However, the first four weeks of this season feel unlike anything we've experienced before. Bye weeks have not even started yet, and teams are already scrambling to fill starting lineups. This year, more than any other, requires fantasy managers to […]

Some of your rosters have been impacted by injuries that were sustained by De'Von Achane, Breece Hall, and Travis Etienne Jr. during their Week 3 matchups. Unfortunately, health issues continued at the running back position in Week 4, as Saquon Barkley was forced to the sideline. Any roster challenges that some of you have encountered while […]

Week 4 gave fantasy managers exactly the kind of chaos that makes the waiver wire so interesting. We saw a few unexpected spike weeks from players like Keon Coleman, while several lower-rostered receivers either found the end zone or suddenly carved out larger roles in their respective offenses. That's usually how these sleepers start to […]

The bye weeks are here, and fantasy footballers are not going to cheer. Fantasy managers with Chiefs and Panthers on their rosters will especially be unhappy this week, as Kansas City and Carolina are the only two teams off this week as the NFL rolls out the byes slowly. That means no Travis Kelce or […]

Week 4 wasn't a banner week for quarterbacks. Eight signal-callers (Drake Maye, Joe Burrow, C.J. Stroud, Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, and Bryce Young) scored over 20 fantasy points on the week. Seven quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards (including 400-yard performances from Burrow and Goff), but only three passers had […]

There is no more low-hanging fruit with FBS teams playing FCS teams. The only ones remaining are the few during Cupcake Saturday in the SEC next month. We also have a lot of teams on bye this week, which leaves many of us scrambling for replacements. Those who have the defenses of Michigan, Texas Tech, […]

As usual, Week 4 of the 2026 NFL regular season had more surprises, including spike weeks from players you wouldn't expect. Sunday's action was capped off by an absolute shootout between the Lions and Panthers. On this page, we're going to take a look at some "unexpected booms," which are surprise spike weeks from players […]

It's once again time to huddle up and collect ourselves after another chaotic week of pro football, which brought another truckload of surprises, heartbreak, and injuries. While we await more specific intel surrounding injury timelines to assess the ripple effects, it never hurts to peek ahead! Let's poke around some early adds with our fantasy […]

Hey, RotoBallers! Finding an advantage in fantasy hockey is never easy, and things move faster than you think. The key to sustaining a winning advantage is utilizing the waiver wire and making the key trades to bolster your team. Identifying players in the midst of a breakout or in a big slump is key to […]

We are getting to the point where teams are starting to beat each other up. Road wins will mean a little more. Some are unhappy with Mississippi State's place in the AP Poll. The Bulldogs have wins over a Minnesota team that just beat Washington and Michigan, and South Carolina. Those still have to count, […]

If you're not punting in Head-to-Head leagues, are you even trying? Punting categories is all the rage, and when you boil it down to the idea that you just need to win five out of nine categories when it comes time for the fantasy playoffs, it makes a lot of sense and can be a […]

At RotoBaller HQ, we finish our early rankings update series with FLEXes (RB/WR/TE). The bye weeks are here, so fantasy managers will be without some key players from the Chiefs and Panthers in Week 5. The FLEX position can make or break our week. To help managers get a jump on Week 5, we have […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more early Week 5 fantasy football rankings. Some quarterback news: the Bears are starting Tyson Bagent again in Week 5, as they will be without Caleb Williams again, while the Ravens could be without Lamar Jackson as he's dealing with a left ankle injury. On top of that, fantasy managers will […]

On to week two of the NHL season! It may not seem like a huge milestone, but at this point in the year, many teams have played as many games as they did in the preseason. Patterns start to emerge, data begins to matter, and we can start to see how the early part of […]

If you need a bye-week or injury replacement, we've got you covered with our early Week 5 2026 Half-PPR fantasy football tight end rankings. In this […]

Even though the 2026-27 NHL season is underway, let's take a stroll down memory lane and look at some of the most infamous free-agent signings of all time. While some free agents can be the difference between a team winning the Stanley Cup, others can do the opposite. In this column, we're going to dive […]

At RotoBaller HQ, we continue our early rankings series with wide receivers. This week, the position is banged up, with Ja'Marr Chase, DJ Moore, Ladd McConkey, Justin Jefferson, Tee Higgins, and Terry McLaurin all dealing with injuries. On top of injuries, fantasy managers will also have to navigate bye weeks, as the Chiefs and Panthers […]

Hey RotoBallers, Week 5 officially kicks off, and we are back with more early-week rankings. Injuries continue to mount as fantasy managers will likely be without Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who is week-to-week with a hamstring injury. On top of that, fantasy managers will be without Kenneth Walker in Week 5 as the Chiefs […]

The 2026 NFL regular season continues to fly by as Week 5 officially begins. Bye weeks are here, with the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers off this week. At RotoBaller, we kick off the week with our early Week 5 overall rankings to help you get a head start. We'll update our rankings throughout […]

Week 5 officially arrives once Monday Night Football ends, and at RotoBaller HQ, we kick off the week with updated waiver wire rankings. Injuries continue to pile up, as Saquon Barkley, DJ Moore, Ladd McConkey, Rashee Rice, Tee Higgins, Lamar Jackson, and Kyle Monangai are all dealing with injuries. On top of injuries, fantasy managers […]

After a week of research on the projected top studs in fantasy football, a wide receiver or tight end buried on the depth chart might lead the team in receiving. It's the frustrating reality of what we do here. Now, the question in all formats -- redraft, dynasty, guillotine, and more -- is whether that […]

The Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, and Chicago Bears always seem to have a lot of ambiguity in their pass-catching rooms, as there is rarely a dominant wideout who emerges as the clear No. 1 option and remains that way for a full season. For these three teams, that hasn't happened since the days of Stefon […]

We've seen multiple instances of rookie wide receivers going from unproductive early in the season to being must-starts across all fantasy leagues toward the middle part of the year. This happened recently, in 2024, with Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey and Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. It's not a great idea to lean […]

The pick-up-high-upside-backup-running-backs-in-good-offenses strategy in fantasy football is one of the best ways of securing a lottery ticket that could pay off in the long run. RB is such a scarce position in fantasy football -- it's incredibly difficult to find productive RBs on the waiver wire at any point in the season. The one exception […]

It seemed like we'd see another year in which the majority of starting NFL running backs were healthy for the majority of the season. But in recent weeks, a handful of key injuries have reshaped that idea. The Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Miami Dolphins will all see big shake-ups in how their backfield carries […]

The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4 for the first time in the Sean McVay era. It's not a huge surprise they weren't able to come out with a win, though, as they were missing their top-2 targets this season and their No. 1 wideout from a year ago. Wide […]
