Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

You don't need me to tell you to start Beckham, but do not get too cute this week. Odell Beckham is the top wide receiver option on the board, going up against the Philadelphia Eagles. Oh, calm down. Julio Jones is not playing on Sunday, he already played against the Saints on Thursday. Last week, Beckham […]

Eric Decker (WR, NYJ) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Eric Decker is not a flashy player, and he often goes overlooked by fantasy owners. This week, he gets a good matchup against the Washington Redskins' secondary, and he should be in for a great week. He has scored a touchdown in every game he has played in so far this season, and he is […]

Rob Gronkowski (TE, NE) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Rob Gronkowski has 20 receptions for 375 yards and four touchdowns so far this season. Do I really need to say anything else? Sure, last week he failed to go over 100 yards or find the end zone. In fact, he only had four receptions. However, he was only targeted by Tom Brady five times. […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, CIN) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Tyler Eifert is a great boom or bust type play this week against the Buffalo Bills, in any fantasy football lineup, but especially in daily league formats. If you are going to play Andy Dalton at the QB position (obviously, A.J. Green is the top WR option to pair with him), Eifert makes for an […]

Antonio Brown Calls Out Michael Vick

Superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown has been the safest fantasy star over the last couple of years. That was until Michael Vick replaced the injured Ben Roethlisberger as quarterback on the Pittsburgh Steelers a few weeks ago. Brown went thirty-five consecutive games with at least fifty receiving yards but has failed to reach that number […]

Dion Lewis Questionable, LeGarrette Blount Becomes Fantasy Must Start

The New England Patriots are one of the rare teams with two running backs holding strong fantasy value. Dion Lewis has been one of the best at his position this season and an absolute monster in point-per-reception formats but his status for Sunday’s game vs. the Indianapolis Colts is listed as questionable due to an […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Crowder will get a tough matchup against the Jets this week, but he should still receive plenty of opportunities to hit value. He’s currently third on the Redskins team in targets, behind only Pierre Garcon and Jordan Reed. His targets are also on the rise, as he received eight against the Falcons, which was tied […]

Antonio Gates (TE, SD) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Gates makes for a great Week 6 lineup play, as he dominated in his first game back from suspension. In that game, he caught nine of his 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns. He was a clear redzone option for Rivers, which has been the case throughout his career. Gates will likely see […]

Richard Rodgers (TE, GB) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Rodgers usage seems to be fairly dependent on whether Davante Adams plays or not. Over the last two weeks, Rodgers has 11 receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown. Last week, he saw a team high eight targets, and he’ll likely be a big part of the offense again as he gets a plus matchup against […]

Adrian Peterson (RB, MIN) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

I love Adrian Peterson in fantasy football when the Vikings are projected to win, which is the case this week. In Minnesota’s two wins this season, Peterson has touched the ball 51 times for 318 yards and two touchdowns, while he only has 29 touches for 133 yards and one touchdown in their losses. The […]

Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

The Chiefs lost their best offensive weapon for the year in Jamaal Charles. That leaves a huge void at running back, and Charcandrick West will likely get the first opportunity to fill it. Andy Reid has stated that both West and Knile Davis will receive carries, but West out-touched Davis seven to two last week, […]

DeAndre Hopkins (WR, HOU) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Hopkins has been playing out of this world over his last three games, recording 28 receptions for 427 yards and one touchdown. He has excelled in every game this season except Week Two, in which he face Josh Norman, one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. He has received 75 targets this season, which accounts […]

Tom Brady (QB, NE) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Brady was a staple in my lineups last week, and he will be again this week. He’s one of the safest players in the NFL, as he has recorded between 22 and 29 fantasy points in each of his first four games. He gets a great matchup against the Colts, who have one of the […]

Fantasy Basketball Rookies: Ranking the NBA Lottery Picks

The NBA season is just around the corner, which means the fantasy basketball draft season is happening right now.  Rotoballer is here to help with ranking players, sleepers,  busts, and draft strategy, with new content online every day. Rookies are a dicey proposition in fantasy basketball.  Most NBA players don't get enough playing time their […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-14 team leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Charles Sims was a much-hyped pre-draft sleeper in the Buccaneers backfield, even though he was always considered a backup to incumbent starter Doug Martin. There was always a sneaking suspicion that Sims, with his next-level talent, would overtake an inconsistent Martin in the depth […]

Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Week 6 Lineup Booms?

McCown has been unbelievable in his starts this season, recording 1,203 yards and six passing touchdowns in only three games. He also has 35 yards and one score on the ground. He’s averaging 47 pass attempts per game, and that should be no different this week, as the Browns will likely be playing from behind […]

FanDuel CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/17

Daily Fantasy College Football: FanDuel Picks for 10/17 After just a 15-game slate last weekend for the noon contest, FanDuel has bumped it back up to 19 this Saturday afternoon. A few of these games - ones with the highest over/under total set in Vegas, in particular - are especially appealing for GPP contests and […]

Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Shame on everyone who benched/dropped Thomas Rawls for Week 5. The undrafted rookie amassed 169 yards on 23 carries with a touchdown. Really, he looked impressive in every aspect of the game, making defenders miss in the open field en route to a 69-yard touchdown sprint and shedding tackles at the line of scrimmage pushing […]

Todd Gurley (RB, STL) - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Todd Gurley is now, indisputably, a top-five fantasy football running back. The rookie from Georgia had his second consecutive monster game, racking up 159 yards on 30 carries, the most attempts of any running back in Week 5. The time to buy low on Gurley is gone, and the time to sell high is nonexistent. Sorry […]

Doug Martin, Charles Sims - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

The half back situation in Tampa Bay continues to be an interesting one. Doug Martin is among the top-three fantasy RBs this season (top-two if you take into account the injury to Jamaal Charles). His performance against the Jaguars on Sunday helped reaffirm that, as the Muscle Hamster produced a 24-123-2 line (along with a […]

Jonathan Stewart, Cameron Artis-Payne - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Cam Newton led the Panthers run game on Sunday, rushing for 51 yards on 12 carries against a weak Buccaneers run game. Despite that weak defensive front, Jonathan Stewart was, once again, unable to get anything going, posting a 10-50-0ffensive line on the afternoon. Is this guy even good? In his defense, the panthers never […]

Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Week 5 brought another 100-yard day for Matt Forte, who looked great as usual. In light of the Jamaal Charles injury, Forte may be the most reliable RB1 in football. The starter racked up 109 yards on 23 touches and found the end zone on a reception from Jay Cutler. Jacquizz Rodgers and Jeremy Langford […]

Eddie Lacy, Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddick - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Eddie lacy turned in a disappointing effort on Sunday against the Rams, gaining only 27 yards on 13 carries. This was not a typical game in Lambeau for the Packers. Much of this can be chalked up to an underrated Rams defense, which has been quite formidable over the past few weeks. Lacy will likely […]

Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

The Detroit Lions are a bad football team who are struggling in every facet of the game, yet I'm still hopeful that Megatron can turn it around somewhat. I still think you're stuck with owning him for the rest of the way barring an owner in your league who believes in his draft-day value. Having […]

Travis Kelce (TE, KC) - Tight Ends With Warning Signals?

"Baby Gronk" has thoroughly disappointed his fantasy owners through five weeks, hauling in just 24 catches for 328 yards and two touchdowns (both of which came in a Week 1 outburst). The main red flag that Kelce has going forward is the same one that Alex Smith has to deal with--the Chiefs' run game isn't […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Tight Ends With Warning Signals?

As Russell Wilson has gone, so has Jimmy Graham. He has given investors an alarmingly low return (I had him go in the second round in one of my leagues) and is showing no signs of picking things up. With Marshawn Lynch out the last two weeks we should have seen at least some increased production […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?

Smith is going to struggle without Jamaal Charles, plain and simple. As soon as Charles left the game in Week 5, the Bears stepped up the blitz and ended up shutting Smith down, as he was only able to muster 181 passing yards over the course of the game. Charcandrick West and Knile Davis will […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?

The rookie phenom has been better than anticipated in the early stages of his professional career, but last week he seemed mortal against an above-average Bills defense. Mariota was only able to put up 187 yards through the air with no touchdowns and one very bad interception. He completed 21 of 32 passes, but that […]

Russell Wilson (QB, SEA) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?

Wilson has just barely been maintaining his status as a startable QB1 in 2015, thanks in large part to depressed passing numbers. With Jimmy Graham brought in to be the receiving weapon that Wilson needed, many had high expectations for the Seahawks passing game headed into the season. However, things have headed in the exact opposite […]
