In a lot of my leagues, things have started to balance out. There are still top teams, but in the last two weeks, a lot of teams that started slowly picked up wins. There are a whole lot of 3-3 teams at the moment. That means that even if you got off to a slow […]

We are only in October, but multiple key players' seasons have already ended. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and Dolphins running back De'Von Achane both suffered season-ending knee injuries in September. Sadly, Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin joined them on Monday with a torn patellar tendon. Many other players have sustained less significant injuries, though. Keep these […]

Hey RotoBallers! As we turn the page to Week 7, it's almost time to set our next round of fantasy lineups. With four teams on a bye and many star-player injuries, managers may need to make tough lineup decisions to secure a win. In this piece, we will look at four players who could disappoint […]

14 games. 28 teams in action. Just one player scored 30+ PPR fantasy points. The lack of explosive performances was Week 6's biggest storyline. Christian McCaffrey, on Monday Night Football, saved the week from the dubious accolade. Still, several players had surprising and encouraging games across the league, and, of course, the not-so-great one. The […]

Defense matters! Throughout the season, we'll dig into the weekly mechanics of building winning rosters. We're here to help you take down your Week 7 matchup! RotoBaller analyst Matt Donnelly drops his MUST START DEFENSE (D/ST) units for Week 7 of the season. Snag these dynamic defenses off the waiver wire where available and get […]

Hey RotoBallers! With another slate of NFL action in the books, it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. While many may be looking for short-term replacements, we'll take an alternative look in this piece. Below, we will spotlight some sneaky high-upside stashes who could benefit your team in the long run. Who […]

Finding the right defense to stream can give you an advantage in fantasy football, especially when you target favorable matchups before your league mates. As is always the case in this article, we're looking a week ahead, focusing on defenses rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo! leagues, giving you some potential options on the […]

With four more teams on bye weeks in Week 7 and injuries mounting every week, it's the portion of the fantasy football season that demands both creativity and plenty of depth. Especially at running back, where there is so much attrition, it's imperative to have depth options available. Thankfully, multiple players are sharing the workload […]

We are now officially one-third of the way through the NFL regular season and nearly halfway through the regular season of most fantasy football leagues. This also means we are rapidly approaching fantasy trade deadlines, which most commonly fall in Weeks 11 or 12. If your fantasy team needs reinforcements or upgrades, act fast—the window […]

With injuries mounting week after week, it's getting harder and harder to find players to cut. Do they have two working legs and a heartbeat? If so, I want 'em! That's obviously an exaggeration, but seriously, you want me to drop Jaylen Waddle? I just lost Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, and Davante Adams! With bye […]

No one can stop Malik Nabers in Week 7, and apparently not even J.J. McCarthy can slow him down the way he did Justin Jefferson. Nabers has been an absolute fantasy wrecking ball since returning from injury, and with the Giants continuing to funnel targets his way, he belongs in every starting lineup regardless of […]

Michael Mayer is a tight end masquerading as a TE1 in Las Vegas, and fantasy managers need to start paying attention. Even with Brock Bowers commanding attention in the Raiders' passing game, Mayer is carving out a valuable role with strong efficiency, short-area targets, and recent volume, making him a legitimate Week 7 starter. Meanwhile, […]

Bucky Irving's Week 7 fantasy production should look a lot more like his Week 5 explosion than last week's frustrating performance. Don't let 46 rushing yards against Pittsburgh fool you. Irving's workload is trending in the right direction, his snap share is climbing, and a date with a Carolina Panthers defense that surrenders 23.3 fantasy […]

Jordan Love might be the most underrated QB1 we’ve seen in some time. He’s putting up strong numbers without a consistent ground game, and with Josh Jacobs potentially back in the mix, Green Bay’s offense could be ready to take another step forward. Now he gets a Detroit defense that has been giving up big […]

The New England Patriots and Chicago Bears kick off Week 7 on Thursday Night Football in the Windy City in an intriguing matchup featuring two young quarterbacks who have become stars and who are central to their teams' futures. Drake Maye and Caleb Williams have plenty of weapons, and both teams have fantasy-relevant players who […]

With six weeks of NFL football for the 2026 campaign in the record books, trends are becoming clear, and there is an abundance of data to sift through for fantasy managers. It also means that a lot has changed since Week 1, and a lot will continue to change as the 2026 season marches on. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
