Marcedes Lewis Not A Fantasy Option Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis will go up against a Patriots defense that has not allowed a touchdown to a tight end since Week 6. Lewis does have five touchdown receptions this season, but three of those came in one game. The veteran tight end is the longest-tenured Jaguar, so he certainly will be […]

Jets Firing John Morton

The New York Jets will not retain offensive coordinator John Morton for the 2018 season. There has been consideration given to elevating quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates to offensive coordinator, but sources say it's not a done deal. The Jets offense surprised many in 2017, from the emergence of wideout Robby Anderson to the surprising play […]

Dede Westbrook Could Surprise As Targets Leader In Jaguars Passing Game

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has become a wideout that Blake Bortles can count on over the last two months. The rookie has been given an opportunity due to a litany of injuries to the Jaguars receivers and has filled in with some solid performances. Receiver Keelan Cole has become the downfield threat while […]

Marqise Lee A Risky Play Despite Favorable Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee caught three passes for 28 yards in the Jaguars win last week against the Steelers. Lee has 702 receiving yards this season, but his arrow has been pointing down the last month while he is recovering from an ankle injury. He has struggled getting back into the rhythm of […]

Hello our dear readers and welcome to our Week 14 fantasy basketball buy low and sell high column here at RotoBaller.

Keelan Cole Hopes To See More Targets Against New England

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole represents the Jaguars best big-play threat heading into the AFC Championship showdown against the Patriots. Cole caught only one pass last week against the Steelers, but it was a big one -- a 45-yard reception that split two Pittsburgh defenders. Those are the types of plays that have allowed […]

Allen Hurns Not Expected To Be Fantasy Factor This Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns caught one pass last week for 12 yards against the Steelers. It has been a tough season for Hurns, first with trade rumors in the preseason, then with injuries during the season and finally losing his place in the Jaguars receiving pecking order. He is a veteran receiver capable of […]

T.J. Yeldon's Role Could Increase Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon could see more opportunities after producing 77 total yards with one touchdown in the Jaguars shocker win over the Steelers. The veteran has been in and out of the lineup all season due to injuries and ineffectiveness but seized his chance last week. With star rookie Leonard Fournette working […]

Mike Munchak Declines Second Interview With Cardinals

Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak has turned down a second interview for the job of head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. This has moved Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores back into the mix. Until this situation gets resolved, the fantasy values of the various Cardinals players will remain in flux. However, regardless of what […]

Leonard Fournette In Line For Heavy Workload For AFC Title Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle), if healthy, will look to carry the Jaguars offense against a Patriots defense that has allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Fournette has been limited in practice this week after tweaking his ankle en route to 109 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers. […]

Blake Bortles Has Favorable Matchup Against Patriots

It is hard to tell which Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will show up from game to game. Will it be the quarterback that converted eight of 14 third downs against the Steelers and made some big-time throws? Or the passer that finished the regular season with five interceptions in his last two games? The […]

Leonard Fournette Limited In Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday. It's a great sign that Fournette is practicing this early in the week after aggravating his ankle in the Divisional Round against the Steelers. Fournette returned to the game last Sunday and ran 25 times for 109 yards and three touchdowns against […]

Tom Brady, Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Limited

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (hand) and running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) were all limited in practice Wednesday. Brady's hand injury is unlikely to be serious, and he'll be out there for the AFC title game against the Jaguars. Brady picked the Titans apart in the Divisional Round, but it […]

Adam Thielen Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (back) did not practice Wednesday. The seriousness of Thielen's lower back injury is unknown, but we'll probably have more updates coming. There's a chance the Vikes are just giving him some rest ahead of the NFC title game against the Eagles. Thielen disappointed in the touchdown category this year […]

Draymond Green Ruled Out Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (shoulder) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Green says his shoulder feels fine, so expect him to be ready to play on Saturday against the Houston Rockets. Jordan Bell is expected to draw the start on Wednesday. Green being sidelined means more minutes for […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Expected to Return Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Jeff Hornacek hinted on Tuesday that THJ could be returning to the starting lineup on Wednesday. Lance Thomas would head back to the second unit with THJ returning to the lineup. Michael […]

Frank Kaminsky is Probable Against Wizards

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Frank Kaminsky (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He tweaked his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Detroit Pistons. It looks like he might not need to miss any time, but owners should check back closer to game time. If Kaminsky […]

DeAndre Jordan is Questionable on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. He's missed two games in a row and is likely headed towards another game on the sidelines. Head coach Doc Rivers said he'd be surprised to see Jordan return before the weekend. Backup center Willie Reed […]

Malcolm Mitchell Won't Come Off Injured Reserve

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) will not be activated off Injured Reserve, meaning he'll be inactive for the rest of the postseason, according to a source. Chronic knee problems kept Mitchell from playing all of the 2017 season. He has two years left on his rookie deal, but he's unlikely to be […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (01/17/18)

We doubt Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. cared much about college basketball--not that that tarnishes his legacy with us in any way. But as the nation observed his life and legacy this week, we saw a number of games that provided evidence of the sport's appeal for the rest of us--and that led to some […]

Zach Ertz a Decent Option Despite a Tough Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a decent fantasy option in the NFC Championship Game. Despite a tough matchup against an elite Minnesota Vikings defense, Ertz is likely to be involved enough in the offense to put up a decent at worst fantasy day. Ertz is a true difference maker on the field and […]
