Could New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) be ramping up for a return soon? In 2025 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Etienne recorded 260 rushing attempts for 1,107 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, coupled with 36 receptions for 292 receiving yards and six additional scores. Following last year's strong performance, Etienne signed a […]

Week 6 featured several mighty teams going down, particularly in the NFC West. The Seahawks and Rams both lost to far inferior opponents. This week also featured a first win for the Titans. Overall, points were hard to come by this week, but the ramifications of this week could reverberate through the rest of the […]

This article will be your go-to stop for all defensive rankings and streamers. Last week, […]

With another four-team bye on tap for Week 7 and many big legs returning to action after resting during the Week 6 byes, we've got plenty to talk about! Many chose to dump their bye-week kickers in place of other needs, which we agree with, but now there's a healthy waiver race to run. Between […]

Whether you need immediate waiver wire help or are just looking for the top stashes for later-season upside, we have you covered with our RotoBaller Staff waiver wire picks, including Kendre Miller, Jaylin Noel, Michael Mayer, and Aaron Rodgers. Pivoting when your players are injured, underperforming, or on a bye is always the name of […]

Welcome back to the NBA season, RotoBallers! It's been a long four months waiting for the season to get back underway. We have a new article to start the season off! DraftKings looks as if they will continue the King of the Court promotions as they did all season last year! I was able to […]

The quarterback position is often the most debated in sports. Throughout the league's history, some of the most iconic players have occupied this position. In this piece, we will attempt to construct a quarterback Mount Rushmore, naming just four quarterbacks to represent each NFL team. Will you agree with our picks? Let's dive in!   […]

Week 6 was not an ideal week for quarterback production in fantasy football. Not only were fantasy managers missing some big names because of bye weeks (Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, and Kyler Murray), but teams in general struggled to put up points through the air. Only six quarterbacks (Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Shough, Drake Maye, Michael […]

There weren’t many signature fantasy performances in Week 6. Through Sunday’s games, only 25 total players across all positions surpassed 20.0 fantasy points in the week. It certainly didn’t help that several signature players from Cincinnati, Detroit, Minnesota, and Miami were on bye. Unfortunately, bye weeks won’t be any kinder in Week 7. Fantasy managers […]

Week 6 brought a low-scoring slate to our doorsteps just as the first four-team bye drained the player pool, so that was fun! Here's hoping that you are coming into this article from a position of strength, but we're here for everyone. No matter the team needs, we've got you covered with our famous waiver […]

Welcome, everyone, to my DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks and advice for the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. The PGA Tour has eight tournaments in the FedExCup Fall this year, and the fourth tees off in the Atlantic this week at Port Royal Golf Club in Southampton, Bermuda. This tournament doesn't have an extremely strong field, but […]

Folks, the cupboard was bare for fantasy managers in Week 6. Until Christian McCaffrey scored two touchdowns on MNF, no player had scored 30 PPR fantasy points. The TLDR version? This data is real. This "analysis" is fun. If you get a smile out of this info - or just like having tons of fun […]

The Arizona Cardinals were without their starting running back, Jeremiyah Love (ankle), due to an aggravation of the high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL preseason. In his place, running backs Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight, the second and third-string RBs on the depth chart, stepped up and handled the bulk […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) missed his third game in a row with a quad injury after falling hard on his thigh while being tackled out of bounds in Week 3. He hasn't been able to play since then. In his absence, Jets RB Braelon Allen has led the backfield, garnering 25 […]

It would be nice if every season were like the 2024 NFL season, when we thought the future of wide receiver production in the NFL was bright. WRs Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Ladd McConkey (concussion) were all going off. It also appeared that WRs Xavier Worthy and Ricky Pearsall had bright futures. Rather […]

Injuries to starting running backs often pave the way for their backups to be successful in fantasy football for some stretch of time. The Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, and Arizona Cardinals are all dealing with their RB1s having various ailments right now. It's not guaranteed that the backup will give you good production in the […]

We're through six full weeks of NFL action in the 2026 season. By now, we typically expect to see the beginnings of breakout seasons for several young wide receivers. Yet others may be hitting their strides on new teams, and others still have offenses that need to gel first before they become fantasy relevant. Whatever […]

San Francisco's passing game lost another receiver during Monday night's win over Washington, but the setback doesn't change De'Zhaun Stribling's immediate situation. Mike Evans exited with an Achilles issue after catching three passes for 94 yards. Coach Kyle Shanahan later indicated the problem wasn't serious. For Stribling, the issue is an ankle injury that has […]

Fantasy managers drafted Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, hoping that he would get the target share needed to re-establish himself as a potential top-10 fantasy wide receiver after showing that potential to start the 2024 season. Rice was starting to see his role creep up gradually during the start of the season before […]

The 2026 season hasn't been kind to fantasy running back depth. There are 10 running backs who are averaging 18.0+ fantasy points per game, but only 25 total rushers who are averaging 10.0+ points per game. The lack of solid RB2 options has led fantasy managers to churn the waiver wire each week, hoping that […]

Seattle offered a better update on Jadarian Price's chest injury. The rookie running back remains on injured reserve, but coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that his absence might not stretch much beyond the required minimum. That doesn't make Price a Week 7 option. The Seahawks still have one game left before he's eligible to return, […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (deep vein thrombosis) is set to miss significant time due to blood clots deep in his lungs that were discovered during medical scans. Technically, he played through these in Week 5. Eagles medical staff knew he had a blood clot in his calf, but cleared him to play anyway. Later, […]

RotoBaller drops our top fantasy football Week 7 waiver wire pickups for the 2026 season for RB, WR, TE, and QB. This week, we will look at some sneaky "backup" running backs who could see the value surge over the second half and a handful of rookie WRs on the rise. This week's must-add fantasy […]

If you have been attempting to navigate a growing number of obstacles as you assemble your rosters, you are far from alone. Injuries continue to prevent many of you from utilizing your preferred lineups, while declining production, unpredictable workloads, and other challenges may also send you searching for options on this week's waiver wire.  The emergence […]

Week 6 showed the impact of the waiver wire, especially at wide receiver. Germie Bernard stole the spotlight with another huge game, looking like an early waiver-wire league winner who could make a major impact down the stretch. That's the beauty of the waiver wire. Players who weren't even on the fantasy radar a few […]

Another week, another round of byes. Four more teams are on bye. Tight end lovers will have to live without Jacksonville’s Brenton Strange and Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid, but otherwise the position is quite all right. The main men are playing and healthy for the most part. But if you need a tight end because you […]

Week 6 brought plenty of dramatics, underwhelming scores, and role shifts that have many of you scrambling. This early pass at the slate's action and data results in a preliminary list that tries to balance short-term help with long-term reinforcements. So let's monitor the early adds across all formats with our fantasy football waiver wire […]

Despite the magnitude of injuries this season, we still haven't found that league-deciding waiver wire pick-up. With all the research and data available, and given fantasy football's sheer popularity, maybe those days are long gone. The best handcuffs are stashed, and most highly drafted rookies are held all year, not wanting to be the person […]

One of fantasy football's most frustrating realities is that talent and skill don't always translate into consistent fantasy production. One of the best examples of this is George Kittle, a frequent fantasy star whose profile and ceiling have always been capped by his elite blocking and the fact that he runs significantly fewer routes than […]
