O.J. Mayo (SG, MIL) and Jabari Parker (PF, MIL) - Stack on FanDuel 12/15

O.J. Mayo (at LAL, $4,900) With two of Milwaukee's backcourt guards out with injuries for a few games, Mayo should continue to rack up minutes at the point guard position. He has cooled down in his past few contests, but he likes to shoot the ball. A game against the Lakers at this price is […]

Darren Collison (PG, SAC) - Sleeper on FanDuel 12/15

Darren Collison (vs HOU, $5,000) The point guard position is pretty cut-and-dry on Tuesday. Collison will be starting in place of Rajon Rondo, who's serving his one-game suspension. With the amount of minutes that the backup guard will likely get, this price tag is too low to ignore. The matchup and pace of the game […]

James Harden (SG, HOU) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/15

James Harden (at SAC, $10,700) Here's where I won't be getting cute. Harden is the best play on the board in what should be another fast-paced game for him. It's almost better that he got off to a slow start on Monday, because he seems to never have two slow games in a row. The only […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire - Replacing Thomas Rawls, Mark Ingram, T.J. Yeldon & More

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Fifteen Week 14 of the NFL season ends with the Patriots putting down the Texans and any hopes that Brian Hoyer had of a revenge game. Week 14 also saw Cam Newton continue to stuff the MVP ballot box, Russell Wilson ruin a Jimmy Clausen-led team for the second time this year, along with Todd […]

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

It’s a rather weird slate for Tuesday. There are only four games but at least three of the four should be rather high scoring and each roster has low level and mid-tier players that are projected to get serious minutes. This means that tournaments and cash games will most likely have high scoring numbers. Good […]

Week 15 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Zach Miller and Tyler Kroft

Unless you are in a fantasy football league that does not believe in a postseason and goes by cumulative point totals (which is silly), your league is in the thick of the playoffs and hopefully your squad qualified for them. This is not the time to make a boneheaded Leon Lett-like decision if you are […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 15 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Kirk Cousins, Tim Hightower and Ted Ginn

So Week 14 is now pretty much in the books and we have a few serious injuries that shake things up a little. Thomas Rawls broke his ankle and will miss the remainder of the year. Andy Dalton seems to have broken the thumb on his throwing hand and will be out for the rest […]

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

Only four games this Tuesday, so finding ways to be unique will be important if you're a tournament player. Finding that bench player who goes off for 7x value might be what gets you a good chunk of change by the end of the night. Let's see if we can find someone like that. In […]

Week 15 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 15 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 15 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you […]

James White's Role Growing for Pats

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's still a difficult split happening between James White and Brandon Bolden, and despite Bolden out-touching White 14 to 1 on the ground, it's White that's showing more significant fantasy value. Maybe that's because he actually gets used in the redzone over […]

Add Denard Robinson for Your Fantasy Playoffs

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: T.J. Yeldon left week 14 with a left knee sprain and in his place came Denard Robinson. The timetable for Yeldon's return has not been set yet (as of Monday morning) but with so few games remaining, if you get just one game […]

Tim Hightower a High Pickup Priority

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Had the Mark Ingram news been made sooner, Hightower would've been on last weeks list. Hightower isn't much of a skilled player as he plodded is way to 85 yards on 28 carries but with that kind of volume, who really cares? The […]

Royals Sign Dillon Gee To Minor League Contract

The Kansas City Royals signed free agent pitcher Dillon Gee to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, according to CBS Sports. The right-hander was last seen in MLB last season as a starter with the New York Mets. Gee was giving the boot once the rookie sensations were called up to […]

Week 15 Deeper Sleepers: The Race for Tim Hightower and Which Seahawks Back to Own

If you're still actively looking for research on sleepers for fantasy football, congrats on making this far and you have a deep league. Hopefully your team was set at QB/TE because Brian Hoyer and Luke Willson were dreadful, while Shaun Draughn was average at best. I apologize for the poor calls and accept all rotten tomatoes […]

Cueto Signs With Giants

The San Francisco Giants have agreed to a contract with free agent pitcher Johnny Cueto, according to ESPN.com. The right-hander will sign a six-year, $130 million deal, pending a physical. There’s an opt-out clause after the 2017 season. This comes a few weeks after Cueto declined a six-year, $120 million offer from the Arizona Diamondbacks. […]

NBA Guards: Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The Waiver Wire is filled with veteran guard talent this week. This week we have a group of guys have something to prove and are getting the opportunities to prove it. These guys will only be getting their chances for so long, so make sure to pick them up while they're producing. Be sure to […]

Brook Lopez (C, BKN) - Top Center on FanDuel 12/14

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $7,900 Brook Lopez is the best center option on the board tonight. He is the most consistent, and Nikola Vucevic is not great at playing defense. Lopez has two bad games in a row now, but that will not continue to happen. He is all but sure to score over 30 fantasy […]

Kenneth Faried (PF, DEN) - High FanDuel Upside on 12/14

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $6,400 Sticking with the Denver Nuggets theme tonight, let's move right along to Kenneth Faried, who is just too cheap tonight against the Houston Rockets. The Rockets love to push the pace of the game, which will add more rebound opportunities and shots to Faried's total, and they also barely play defense. […]

Danilo Gallinari (SF, DEN) - Strong FanDuel Play on 12/14

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $7,200 Danilo Gallinari is a little bit expensive on FanDuel (he is a great play on DraftKings tonight), but he is still worth it. The Houston Rockets are one of the worst teams in the league against the small forward position, and Gallinari is going to take full advantage of that tonight. […]

John Wall (PG, WAS) - Elite FanDuel Option for 12/14

MATCHUP/VALUE: @ MEM/ $9,900 John Wall should be a staple of a majority of DFS lineups tonight, as he plays the Memphis Grizzlies, who are not great against the point guard position. Wall has been extremely solid of recent, scoring in the upper 50s on a rather consistent basis. His price tag has definitely come […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) - Value Play for 12/14

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $4,200 Jameer Nelson is a must play tonight against the Houston Rockets, who are very uptempo and rarely play defense. Nelson is going to start for the Denver Nuggets with Emmanual Mudiay out of the lineup. In 38 minutes last game, Nelson scored over 38 fantasy points. His price tag is closer […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Tim Hightower, Denard Robinson, Chris Ivory

In the stock market-like world of fantasy football, every week is another opportunity for owners to attempt to cash in the golden ticket of a player they've either had stashed on their fantasy bench or have been keeping an eye on the waiver for. This week, there were a trio of running backs whose fantasy […]

Andy Dalton, Thomas Rawls, LeGarrette Blount All Go Down With Injuries In Week 14

Football is a contact sport, meaning that injuries are fairly commonplace. Week 14 though, has been an especially bad week for injuries in NFL, and comes at an extremely inopportune time for those whose fantasy playoffs started this week. Let's take a look at three of the biggest names who were bit by the injury […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 15: Willie Snead, Jermaine Kearse, Malcom Floyd

It's not normally in our nature here at RotoBaller to toot our own horn, but after watching Sunday's games unfold, well ... beep, beep. In this very same article space last week, we highlighted Carolina's Ted Ginn Jr., Seattle's Tyler Lockett and Cleveland's Brian Hartline as low-owned wide receivers to target on the waiver wire. […]

Week 15 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

Our tiered defense rankings are your guide to making waiver wire pickups and adds to improve your lineups, and to decide which defenses to start, sit, target, avoid or […]

John Wall (PG, WAS) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/14

Wall has been straight fire of late. He's scored 26 points in four straight games, and has picked up three consecutive double-doubles. Wall has also dropped over 25 points in seven of his last eight games, on a Wizards team that has underachieved all season. Now with Bradley Beal set to miss an extended amount of […]

Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - DraftKings Sleeper for 12/14

Gibson has been starting recently for the struggling and fantasy-performance-declining Nikola Mirotic. Simple enough, Gibson can do just what he needs to do for his price to make daily fantasy owners happy. He's more than capable of scoring in double digits or grabbing double digit rebounds. The Philadelphia 76ers let up 36 rebounds a game, […]

C.J. McCollum (SG, POR) and Al-Farouq Aminu (SF, POR) - DraftKings Stack for 12/14

C.J. McCollum (SG, POR) The team playing in the Big Easy has easily helped out daily fantasy lineups this season. New Orleans relinquishes 108.4 points a game, most in the league, 39.7 field goals a game, third most, 85.6 field goal attempts, seventh most, and own a .463 opponent field goal percentage, third highest, and a […]
