Joey Bosa Looks To Pad Sack Total

Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman Joey Bosa was able to land half a sack last week, but he'll look to add to his total against Joe Flacco and the Broncos this weekend. The Broncos have given up 11 sacks so far this year, including an atrocious performance against the Packers two weeks ago where Flacco […]

Inside the Tent - Week 5 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact.

D.J. Moore Looks To Rebound Against Jags

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore will look to get back on track in Week 5 against the Jaguars. Moore thrived through the first two weeks of the season, accumulating 16 receptions for 165 yards on 24 targets. Since then, the 22-year-old has statistically disappeared for the most part despite catching his first touchdown of […]

Pass Rush vs QB Matchups to Watch - Week 5

Week 5 is here, and we have NFL offenses rocking and rolling.

In the trenches, offensive lines were dealing with chemistry issues to start the […]

Fantasy Football IDP Rankings for Week 5 (Top 100)

The offenses are waking up, even on Thursday nights. That means harder times for team defenses, especially in leagues where points scored against are factored. Fortunately, IDP players can benefit from seeing the opposing offense on the field over and over again. More tackles mean more points, after all. Linebackers dominate the top 20 as […]

Kyle Allen Could Surprise In Week 5

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen may post better numbers in Week 5 against Jacksonville. Though the Jaguars Defense has done well at stopping the run, it has allowed 286 yards per game through the air this season. While it would be easy to blame the Jags statistical woes in this area on Patrick Mahomes' stellar […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Guide for Week 5

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey may have his toughest matchup to date on Sunday against an efficient Jaguars Defense.

Washington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov picked up his first career NHL win as his team defeated the New York Islanders 2-1 on Friday. The 22-year-old stopped 25 of 26 shots against, with his only goal allowed resulting from a fluky bounce off his own defender's skate.

Blake Snell Expecting To Go Five Strong Innings

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell said he is expecting to "go five strong innings," Saturday against the Astros in Game 2. Despite the words coming right from Snell's mouth, it seems unlikely the former Cy Young winner lasts five after only throwing six innings combined across three starts after coming back from injury […]

Nikita Gusev Scores In NHL Debut

New Jersey Devils left-winger Nikita Gusev recorded his first career NHL goal as his team came up short to the Winnipeg Jets by the score of 5-4 on Friday.

Ty Montgomery Looking For More Work

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery is looking to get on the field more after the team's Week 4 bye. Montgomery has played less than 20 percent of the team's offensive snaps and has been out-touched by Le'Veon Bell 76-10. In the preseason, head coach Adam Gase said the Jets would not give Bell […]

Blake Coleman Buries Two Goals In Loss

New Jersey Devils forward Blake Coleman potted a pair of goals in his team's 5-4 shootout defeat at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. The 27-year-old picked up both of his markers in the second frame - including a one-handed tuck from his back on a rush. Coleman is picking up right where […]

Jets Defense Still Banged Up Heading To Philadelphia

The New York Jets Defense is still dealing with multiple injuries after their bye week as the team heads to Philadelphia to face the Eagles. Star linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) did not practice all week and is doubtful to suit up Sunday. Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle), the team's first-round pick this year, also has […]

Luke Falk To Start For Jets Sunday

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk will make his second career start Sunday at the Eagles. Falk has struggled after being forced into action in Week 2, he's only thrown for 296 yards in a game and a half with no touchdowns and an interception. In fairness to the backup QB, those games were against […]

Chris Herndon Serving Last Game Of Suspension Sunday

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon is serving the last game of his four-game suspension Sunday and will be eligible to rejoin the team next week. Herndon was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy and had to sit out an extra week due to the Jets Week 4 bye, but now is […]

Robby Anderson A High-Risk, High Reward Play Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson has struggled to start the season, but faces a good matchup Sunday in Philadelphia. Anderson has had four catches or less in all three of his games this year and had 23 yards or less twice. Part of that can be blamed on the Jets QB situation which […]

Jamison Crowder Could Be A Good Start Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been quiet the past two weeks with starting quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) out with an illness.

Justin Jackson Doubtful For Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson is doubtful due to his lingering calf injury. While Jackson is officially listed as doubtful, he hasn't practiced all week, and the team is welcoming back Melvin Gordon after his absence, so there's no real pressure to get Jackson out on the field.

Le'Veon Bell Faces Tough Test Sunday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will face a tough matchup coming off of his bye week when the Jets visit Philadelphia on Sunday.

Troymaine Pope Falls Out Of Rotation

A week after he got 10 carries against the Dolphins, Los Angeles Chargers running back Troymaine Pope is likely bound for the bench. The return of Melvin Gordon pushes Pope into the No. 3 slot for this week's game against the Broncos, and the team is expected to balance carries between Austin Ekeler and Gordon […]
