Some of the most common Week 8 fantasy football lineup decisions involve players like Tony Pollard, Josh Downs, Chase Brown, Jakobi Meyers, Rico Dowdle, DeMario Douglas, Blake Corum, Jaylen Waddle, Rome Odunze. However, don't worry; we are here to help you make these decisions and build winning […]

However, don't worry; we are here to help you make these decisions and build […]

We have another 12 games on the main slate this week. It's Halloween. Things are going to get weird. Accept it. We have a couple of DFS clunkers, a cocktail party moved indoors, some Big 12 tilts, and the Wake Forest offense. Let's have some fun! These gargantuan slates can be tougher to navigate. That's […]

To put it bluntly, the Philadelphia Eagles' backfield is a complete and utter mess. Starting running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) missed two full games with a hamstring injury before returning for a Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He also suffered a back injury from that game that has since limited him. Barkley's status […]

I'm so damaged from last week that I don't have high hopes for this week. Unfortunately, there are a lot of spots that I like, and I'm on the opposite side of some prediction algorithms. I'm okay with that. We don't have any FBS vs. FCS games this week, so I'm picking all 47 games […]

The NBA season isn't even two weeks in, and we already have several key injuries. The good news is we can leverage those situations, along with early-season trends, to find value in the betting markets. Our prop bets today focus on several of those situations, targeting players expected to step into larger roles. If you're […]

Welcome back to another NBA DFS article. Friday night tips off the weekend with eight games on the main DFS fantasy basketball slate on both DraftKings and FanDuel. The action gets underway at 7:00 p.m. ET, and all eight games begin no later than 8:00 p.m. ET, setting up a turbo-style setup with all the... […]

Hey RotoBallers! With another week of NHL action behind us (and the calendar almost turning to November!), it's time for another deep dive into the waiver wire ahead of Week 6. With over a month of data in the books, finding top streaming options is getting easier. Below, we will look at our brand-new streaming grid […]

Every week, DraftKings Daily Fantasy offers MMA contests featuring the full UFC fight card. The DFS slate for UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Nolan locks Saturday at 5 p.m. EST and is available on Paramount+. Saturday's main event could mark a changing of the guard at lightweight. 26-year-old Tom "Big Train" Nolan from Australia wants a […]

Week 7 is behind us, and that's probably a good thing! We had upsets and some fluky, weird games that wreaked a lot of havoc with my betting card. We still had some hits with props, but it wasn't the runaway success that we've had in other weeks. I like the matchups we have this […]

The first week brought us exclusively panic and overreaction-names on the Buy-Sell List, and might be the most difficult time to pull off a trade. Week two, however, is when managers see a five-game sample size, and both hot and cold runs start to feel like they might last forever. This is when trading becomes […]

Several elite quarterbacks were on a bye in Week 7, but the stars who did play showed out. Joe Burrow was the belle of the ball, throwing for 249 yards and four touchdowns in the second half of Sunday's rout over Baltimore. Burrow and the Bengals are picking up steam. Elsewhere, we continued to see […]

Hey RotoBallers! It's almost Week 8 time, but before we get to it, I just want to do another bit of self-promotion. In case you missed it, I was on Jeopardy this past week as a contestant. The episode aired live Monday night but is now streaming on Hulu and Peacock. If you have either,... […]

It has been six months since Michigan cut down the nets, ending one of the biggest chalk-fests in NCAA Tournament history. NIL is making it harder for smaller schools to compete. You could argue that it is having the opposite effect in football. It seems to have leveled the playing field over there until the […]

This feels like the kind of week we have all been waiting for. Several games have high totals, and plenty of teams have individual totals of 24 or more points. That gives us multiple stacking options for tournaments, plus plenty of guys with high floors in cash games.  The standard build this week is to... […]

While some waivers ran Tuesday night, plenty of leagues run their waiver wire later in the week. Beyond injuries, fantasy managers will face bye weeks again, as the Texans, Saints, Giants, and 49ers are off this week. At RotoBaller HQ, our updated Week 8 mid-week waiver wire rankings for the 2026 season help you prioritize […]

Fantasy managers covering a Week 8 kicker bye have three options in Evan McPherson, Chase McLaughlin and Tyler Bass, none of whom has missed a field goal attempt this season. All three remain available in more than half of Yahoo leagues. McPherson and Bass have also already used their byes, which makes them candidates to […]

The Commanders have a wide receiver void. Terry McLaurin tore his patellar tendon in Week 6 vs. SF and is out for the season. Stefon Diggs is their only established wideout left in their receiver room. McLaurin’s absence will prove an ample opportunity for others to step up. The two main candidates are 2022 1st-round […]

It's Devil's Night, made public about 30 years ago by The Crow. This slate is kind of a devil. We have no Big Ten because of the "if necessary" World Series game. That leaves an interesting Big 12 tilt on here with some MACtion out west and a game from the American. How is Baylor going […]

I'd like to take a chance to start this article by saying that Week 7 was one that I'd rather forget happened from a betting perspective. I completely whiffed with the picks I provided here, going 0-4. It was brutal, and if it weren't for a decent day on props and DFS, it would have […]

Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller are struggling to sustain the ground game without Travis Etienne Jr., which opens a strong opportunity for him to take the lead rushing role when he returns. The New Orleans Saints managed 18 rushing yards in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. November 8 (Week 9) against the Cleveland Browns […]

Jeremiyah Love's early results lacked an explosive element. Bam Knight supplied one with runs of 31 and 29 yards in the two games Love missed, giving Arizona something to consider while the rookie rests his ankle. A Week 8 comeback against the Dallas Cowboys is in play, although Arizona has not committed to Love's availability. […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is in the midst of an extended absence due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 3. He's now missed four games, and the Saints have a bye this week, meaning he'll have been out five weeks before their Week 9 contest. Etienne signed […]

Fielding a stable of productive running backs is key to chasing a fantasy football title, and many rosters will be tested with key RBs like Christian McCaffrey and Cam Skattebo on a bye. Let us guide your start-sit calls with our Week 8 fantasy football rankings. Below, check out where trending names like Jaylen Warren, […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another slate of NFL action is behind us, which means it's almost time to start setting our lineups for the upcoming Week 8 slate. With some teams off the board on bye and injuries piling up, managers may be forced to dig deeper to fill their lineups. Below, we'll look at some potential […]

Hello, RotoBallers, and welcome to Week 8 of the NFL season. Thursday brings not just a new week of action, but a new edition of Warning Signals. For the uninitiated, I use this column to pick on a handful of players and explain why I believe they might spoil your weekend. Warning Signals take many […]

We're heading into Week 8 for fantasy football, and we're starting to see well-known stars swirling around rumor mills, or already traded, in the NFL. With Halloween right around the corner and a full moon in effect, it's time to get a little wild with fantasy players who have had spooky-scary low-point performances over the […]

An October rookie dynasty draft? Hey, I was as skeptical as you, but with over half of both the college and pro football seasons completed, it'll be draft season before we know it. The film to watch, the percentiles to analyze, and more are just weeks away. I've evaluated two straight NFL Drafts in full […]

Week 8 is here whether you're ready or not, and it brings yet another four-team bye that sees top legs like Ka'imi Fairbairn and Eddy Pineiro take a breather. Regardless of your attitude towards stashing a bye-week kicker away, many of us will be forced to dump them for other reinforcements across the roster. We […]
