Seasonal Soccer -Christmas Period EPL Predictions And Previews

The busy festive season begins in earnest on 'Boxing' Day, 26th December, with another round of fixtures to follow two days later and again on New Year's day.  Nine absolutely vital points are available and this period can dictate the realistic prospects and battles ahead for the sides right across the Barclays Premier League. Editor’s Note: […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Doug Martin, Matt Forte, Andrew Luck

If you are looking for a running back who will be playing his heart out this week, look no further than Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Doug Martin. Martin, who has 1305 yards on 256 carries for an average of 5.1 yards per carry and five touchdowns, has a chance to win the NFL’s rushing title. And […]

Wide Receivers on the Rise for Week 16: Doug Baldwin, Jeremy Maclin, Golden Tate

With injuries to running backs Marshawn Lynch and replacement Thomas Rawls, the Seattle Seahawks have relied heavily on the passing game, especially in the last few weeks. Wide Receiver Doug Baldwin has quickly gone from average fantasy football point-getter to becoming a household name and a must-start. His performance has elevated to extreme levels in […]

Wide Receivers on the Decline for Week 16: Odell Beckham Jr, Larry Fitzgerald, Deandre Hopkins

For those of you looking to start Odell Beckham Jr. in your championship match in Week 16, you will have to look elsewhere for help. Odell has been arguably the most productive and consistent fantasy football wide receiver this season. Unfortunately, his antics on the field last week against the Carolina Panthers and Josh Norman […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Charles Clay, Jonathan Stewart, Adrian Peterson

If you were thinking about starting Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay this week, you may want to think again. According to ESPN’s Adam Caplan, Clay is still dealing with a sore back and is considered questionable to play this week against the Dallas Cowboys. This is the same injury that forced him to sit […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Relief Pitchers

Congratulations on making it to the last installment of RotoBaller's first wave of fantasy baseball rankings. As noted in the other 2016 fantasy baseball rankings articles, these rankings were submitted by Brad, Max, Kyle, and myself back on December 6th, and as such the most recent transactions are not reflected yet (such as the Ken […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for 2016 Fantasy Drafts

The Winter Meetings and all the action before it has been so fun to follow. How stacked is Arizona?! A rotation of Zack Greinke, Shelby Miller, Patrick Corbin, and Archie Bradley! That sounds lethal. I will say though that two trades stuck out in my mind as extreme overkill to get a solid player and that […]

Baltimore Orioles Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

Fantasy Football Championship Round Fallers: Aaron Rodgers, Chris Ivory, Calvin Johnson & More

Well Week 15 was pretty freakin' wild man. There were so many players who just absolutely balled out (Antonio Brown, Cam Newton, David Johnson) and performed like the stars you took them to be. Unfortunately, there were also quite a few studs who tripped on their shoelaces all day and went full Charlie Brown on your […]

Fantasy Football Championship Round Risers: Blake Bortles, David Johnson, Stefon Diggs, & More

Week 16 is upon us. Championship champagne bottles are being put on ice. If you're still here with us, congratulations on making it this far. Or maybe you're a masochist who just likes reading these still despite being eliminated. Hi buddy. While we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week […]

Running Back Outlooks: Adrian Peterson, Denard Robinson and Travaris Cadet

The Minnesota Vikings held future hall of fame running back Adrian Peterson out of practice on Wednesday due to ankle and shoulder injuries. This news does not come as much of a surprise considering Peterson himself said he would likely miss practice time this week. However, Peterson and his head coach Mike Zimmer both believe […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Dez Bryant, Danny Amendola and A.J. Green

Although the Dallas Cowboys have absolutely nothing left to play for this season, for some reason the team is refusing to shut down star wide receiver Dez Bryant. Bryant is still recovering from the foot injury that kept him out several weeks and he’s also dealing with a knee injury. Despite being held out of […]

Quarterback Outlooks: Brock Osweiler, Brian Hoyer and Drew Brees

Peyton Manning will have to keep Brock Osweiler’s seat on the bench warm for at least one more week. The Denver Broncos announced that Osweiler will be the team’s starter for Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals and Manning will not be active for the contest. That means if something were to happen to the […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Stevie Johnson, Amari Cooper and Alshon Jeffery

San Diego Chargers wide receiver Stevie Johnson hasn’t helped his owners getting to championship week, but now that it’s finally here – he might be able to help! Johnson has missed the past two weeks with a groin injury, but finally returned to practice this week. If Johnson plays on Thursday night against the Oakland […]

James Harden (SG, HOU) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/23

James Harden (at ORL, $10,600) Harden gets a tremendous matchup against the Magic tonight, as they love pushing the pace and turning games into shootouts. They focus much more of offense than defense, which leaves spots for Harden to attack. Harden is a triple double threat for the Rockets, and he makes up the majority of their […]

Khris Middleton (SG, MIL) and Greg Monroe (C, MIL) - DraftKings Stack for 12/23

Khris Middleton (vs PHI, $5,900) Middleton continues to be a bit underpriced, as he has been on fire recently. Over the last 10 days, Middleton is averaging 17.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. He plays huge minutes for the Bucks, and his minutes are essentially guaranteed every night. He has already played […]

Tim Frazier (PG, POR) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/23

Tim Frazier (at NO, $3,600) Damian Lillard has been ruled out tonight, which means Frazier should get some more run at point guard again tonight. If C.J. McCollum is also out, Frazier quickly becomes one of the best plays on the night. He’s coming off a start, in which he played 48 minutes and scored 12 points with seven rebounds, […]

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

Top 3 Upset Picks for Week 16 of the NFL Season

Last week my picks were 0-3 straight up, but 2-1 against the spread. I really thought it would be a crazy upset week. It had that feel. Maybe this week sees a nutty upset.   Recap of Picks The Giants had no business even being on the same field with the Panthers for three quarters […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/22/15

Another four-game slate is on tap for this Tuesday. The small amount of games means that cash and 50/50 games are likely to get saturated by randomness and wild cards. But fear not! The Sixers and Lakers are both playing. You could probably get away with stacking Grizzlies and Nuggets in the long run. In […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/22/15

Another four games on this Tuesday night, but there should be plenty of points and value to be had. One game should be a blowout, and while the other should be close, one has a clear advantage in presumed pace. The Lakers and Nuggets both love to push the tempo, so remember that when it […]
