Bears Defense Needs To Step Up Against Rival

The Chicago Bears Defense will take on the Packers in Week 15 and Green Bay is allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing defenses. The Bears defense is loaded with talent but have been extremely disappointing from a fantasy perspective this season. They currently rank outside of the top-15 in fantasy points scored among […]

Tyler Lockett Ready To Go

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll thinks that wide receiver Tyler Lockett (illness, shin) is "really back" and ready to go for Week 15 against the Panthers. Since his 152-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers on Nov. 3, Lockett has been missing in action for his fantasy owners. He hasn't gone over four catches or […]

Anthony Miller Has Stiff Test Against Green Bay

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will try and keep his resurgent second half of his season going against a tough Packers secondary in Week 15. Miller has emerged as a streaming option over the last month, posting 24 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown over his last four games. He will have a […]

Taylor Gabriel, Ben Braunecker Still In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and tight end Ben Braunecker (concussion) are still in the league's concussion protocol and didn't practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Javon Wims (knee) also missed practice. Gabriel and Braunecker are questionable, at best, and obviously shouldn't be counted on in fantasy lineups for Week 15 against the Packers. […]

Allen Robinson Should Deliver Despite Tough Matchup

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson will face the Packers for the second time this season in Week 15. The veteran posted seven receptions for 102 yards in Week 1 and is having a Pro Bowl-type season with 76 receptions for 898 yards and seven touchdowns. The Bears will face a Packers Defense that is […]

John Ross Lands On Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. In his return from Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the Browns, Ross was pretty much invisible, catching two of three targets for just 28 yards. The speedster is now dealing with a foot injury, but he should be able to play […]

Tarik Cohen's Floor Hampers Week 15 Fantasy Value

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will take on a Packers Defense in Week 15 that is allowing the fifth most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Green Bay has allowed 13 different running backs to post 11 or more fantasy points against them and 13 rushing touchdowns. The matchup is appealing but Cohen […]

David Montgomery Has Juicy Matchup

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will be a focal point of the Bears offense against the Packers in Week 15. The numbers may not show it but Montgomery is really beginning to bloom in the Bears offense over the past few games. The rookie's vision between the tackles is improving and has been a […]

Derrick Henry, Adam Humphries Sidelined

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Henry has been by far the best running back in football in the second half of the season. He's gone over 100 yards rushing in four straight games against the Chiefs, Jaguars, Colts and Raiders […]

Jets Defense No Longer A Streaming Option

The New York Jets Defense had a nice run of solid matchups, making them an attractive streaming option in fantasy. That portion of the schedule is over and so is the Jets defense's usability in fantasy. The Jets will take on MVP candidate Lamar Jackson and the high-flying Ravens on Thursday night in Baltimore in […]

Can Mitch Trubisky Stay Hot Against Packers?

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will try and stay red-hot against a tough Packers Defense in Week 15. The Bears season is on the line and Trubisky has delivered in recent weeks, averaging 286 passing yards and racking up nine total touchdowns (two rushing, seven passing) over his last three games. Trubisky now will go […]

Jamison Crowder Struggling, But Still Seeing Targets

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been ice-cold lately with just seven catches for 56 yards over his last three games combined. Prior to that ugly stretch, Crowder had been playing very well, but quarterback Sam Darnold has been connecting more with Robby Anderson in recent weeks. It's understandable if fantasy owners want to […]

The Tape Tells All - Robby Anderson Fantasy Outlook

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson, who's shaken off a slow start to the 2019 season by going […]

Noah Fant Will Not Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) will not practice on Wednesday, but his outlook is "positive overall." Fant caught all four of his targets for 113 yards and his third touchdown of the season in the surprising win over the Texans in Week 14. In his first game with quarterback Drew Lock last […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Zach Ertz, Emmanuel Sanders, Robert Woods

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Fantasy Football Disaster Recovery: Sit Your Studs?

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have sat a player for somebody else on your bench. Disaster Recovery is here to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about starting and to help you decide if you should […]

Greg Olsen Takes Part In Individual Drills

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (concussion) took part in individual drills at practice on Wednesday. It's a good start to the practice week for Olsen, but he'll still need to be cleared from the league's protocol before he can play in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Ian Thomas had five catches for 57 yards […]

Week 15 Warning Signs: Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, Julio Jones

You made the playoffs. Awesome. Now you have even won your first game. That is even better. But now what? There are many players, some of whom performed in the first round, who may not be so fortunate this week. Whether it is a bad matchup or injuries to key players around them, this could […]

WR/TE Leaderboards After The First Playoff Round - NFL Next Gen Stats

Things finally got serious. If you're here, it's only because one of two reasons: 1) you have followed the series all along and want to keep reading just so you don't feel bad with yourself, or 2) you won your first round of the fantasy playoffs and are still on the lookout for the smallest […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 15

The first week of the fantasy playoffs is in the books, and hopefully you're still writing another chapter in it. Week 14 was absolutely brutal from an injury perspective, with several big name players getting carted off the field and burying multitudes of fantasy teams in the process. Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley, Devante Parker, Alshon […]

D.J. Chark Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Chark was seen wearing a walking boot on Monday and is listed as week-to-week, so there's a chance he may not play again this season. Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley are both worth using in fantasy lineups this weekend against the Raiders if […]

Robby Anderson A Strong Start Despite Tough Matchup

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson has been on fire lately and should see plenty of targets again Thursday when the Jets visit the Ravens. Anderson got off to a horrible start this season but has been red-hot lately with 100-plus yards in two straight games and a touchdown in three of his last […]

Evan Engram, Golden Tate, Daniel Jones Limited In Practice

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot), wide receiver Golden Tate (foot) and rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) was also limited. Engram has been out since Nov. 4, but he'd be a solid TE1 option against the Dolphins this weekend if he's […]

Le'Veon Bell A Volume-Based RB2

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell is recovered from his illness and will suit up for the Jets Thursday in Baltimore. Bell missed the Jets Week 14 win with the flu, but has been a full participant in practice and should be good to go Thursday. Running lanes will be hard to come by […]

Devante Parker, Albert Wilson In Non-Contact Jerseys

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (concussion) and Albert Wilson (concussion) are both at practice in non-contact jerseys on Wednesday. Both players are still in the concussion protocol after suffering head injuries in Week 14. Parker and Wilson should be considered questionable to play in Week 15 against the Giants until they're cleared from the […]

Damien Williams Back On Practice Field

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) is back on the practice field on Wednesday. Williams has been out since Week 11. In Week 14 against the Patriots, all three of LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson and Spencer Ware were involved in Kansas City's backfield. A Williams return in Week 15 against the Broncos would […]

Scott Miller Returns To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scott Miller (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 14 game against the Colts. With Mike Evans done for the year, Miller could have a significant role in the final three games of the season if he's able to make it back this weekend against the Lions […]

Tight End Start/Sit Advice - Week 15

Pierre Camus and Chris Mangano break down the tight end position to help with tough fantasy football lineup decisions for Week 15 of the 2019 NFL season. They decide who to start or sit in order to give you the best advantage to win your weekly matchup. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on […]

Jameis Winston Day-To-Day With Fractured Thumb

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb), who suffered a fractured thumb in the Week 14 win over the Colts, is currently day-to-day ahead of Week 15 against the Lions. He's likely to be limited in practice this week and his status is up in the air against Detroit on Sunday. “I think it’s getting […]

Adam Thielen Expected To Return Against Chargers

Barring a setback in practice this week, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is expected to return for Week 15 against the Chargers after missing the last four games with his injury, according to a league source. Thielen returned to practice on Wednesday, so he's definitely on the right track. The Chargers have allowed […]
