Charcandrick West's Value Going North Fast

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'll admit, I feel strange typing this name. Back in week 1, myself along with every analyst in the world would have told you that without a doubt, Knile Davis was the Jamaal Charles handcuff. However, in the past few weeks, people […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Zenner, or 'Doc' as his teammates call him referring to his eventual desire to go to Medical School, is starting to get some opportunities in the Detroit backfield. His opportunity started with an injury to Joique Bell, and has continued with […]

Javorius Allen A Glorious Week 6 Waiver Option?

BALLER MOVE: Add as Handcuff / Injury Fill-in OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Javorius Allen showed off the talent that we all heard about during the preseason on Sunday, taking the ball eight times for 58 yards. Let's not kid ourselves, this job is still firmly Justin Forsett's. However, Forsett went down with […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in ALL Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Wow, Antonio Gates didn't skip a beat. After missing the first four games of the season due to a PED suspension, the 35 year-old kicked off his 2015 campaign in style. The veteran recorded 92 receiving yards and two touchdowns. It's pretty clear […]

Theo Riddick (DET, RB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Detroit Lions' running game is a mess right now. It's bad news for them and their fans, but good news for those of you who have Theo Riddick available in your fantasy leagues. Joique Bell's injury opened up the door for Ameer […]

Ty Montgomery (GB, WR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Short Term Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Davante Adams is struggling with an ankle injury, which has given Ty Montgomery a chance to get some more looks from Aaron Rodgers.

Week 6 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Week 5 of NFL action brought a lot of surprises and bad news for many. The most glaring concern is the injury to Chiefs star running back Jamaal Charles. The diagnosis of a torn ACL means that the oft-injured Charles is done for the season, opening up the door for two relatively-unproven half backs and […]

College Football Rankings: NCAA Fierce 40 Poll Week 6

Fierce 40 - Top 40 College Football Teams as of Week 5 Check out all of RotoBaller's NCAA College Football articles, including top 40 team rankings and NFL draft rankings. Ohio State keeps winning but the order of the teams directly behind the Buckeyes has shuffled a little bit. Who do we currently have listed […]

Minnesota Vikings - Defense Streamer For Week 6

The honest truth is that no D/ST matchup looks particularly appetizing on the waivers. Of what remains, the Vikings show the best chance to overwhelm their opponent. With Jamaal Charles out for the Chiefs, the biggest threat in the game is gone. It's likely that the Vikings choose to spend a lot of time trying […]

Jacob Tamme (TE, ATL) - Tight End Add For Week 6

When Leonard Hankerson got injured, it was Jacob Tamme who picked up the slack on his way to eight receptions and 94 yards. If Hankerson's injury continues to bother him, or maybe the offense realizes that Tamme might be worth throwing to, there's a lot of value to be had. Kyle Shanahan has worked with […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Add For Week 6

Although Andrews didn't see the bulk of the carries this week, he's definitely seeing the most valuable action. He's now had rushing touchdowns in back-to-back games with the Titans, in addition to a couple of receptions. Outside of the touchdowns, the production hasn't been very strong - but at this point, with a lack of […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - Priority PPR League Add For Week 6

Crowder's value is going to be heavily tied to how long DeSean Jackson remains out for, but even if he does return this week there's a chance that Crowder's role may remain steady. After all, the Redskins definitely drafted him with the intent of using him. Over the past three weeks, Crowder has been on the field […]

Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Priority Add For Week 6

Another player I mentioned last week, Gary Barnidge just doesn't make sense. At 30 years old he is having his breakout season, becoming the second tight end to breakout for the Browns in the last three years. It's just like Justin Forsett last year - a player with no business being good, actually being good. Barnidge […]

Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Priority Add For Week 6

I've mentioned before that I love being able to write about a player two weeks in a row. Snead has proven to be one of Brees' favorite players to look for, as he racked up six receptions on 11 targets for 141 yards in Week 5. That was after putting up 89 yards on six receptions […]

Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - Priority Add For Week 6

The must own pickup of Week 6, Charcandrick West, is the next man up for a Chiefs. This is an offense that relies so heavily on it's running back, that Shonn Greene would be a potential number one overall waiver wire pick if he was here. West took the number two spot from Knile Davis just two […]

Week 5 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate

Steelers @ Chargers Matchups We Love Michael Vick, QB, Steelers - Okay, this is a little crazy and I know that but just bare with me. Vick started last Thursday night after coming in for an injured Ben Roethlisberger on a Sunday and looked okay (124 passing yards, 1 TD, 33 rushing yards). He didn't […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Six The fifth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Redskins gave the Falcons a huge scare, while Cincinnati cemented its place amongst the top teams of the AFC with a comeback win over the Seahawks. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night […]

Colts Release Josh Johnson Again

The Indianapolis Colts must be confident that Andrew Luck is ready to return to the football field against the New England Patriots in Week 6. The team is back down to just two quarterbacks on its roster after releasing Josh Johnson for the second time in two weeks. The odds of Johnson ever seeing the […]

Lions Not Benching Matthew Stafford ...Yet

Despite Matthew Stafford struggling through the first five games of the 2015 NFL season, Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell has said he has no plans to bench him at this time. "Really, it's like a pitcher not having a very good day," Caldwell said, according to ESPN. "He's still our starter. There will be […]

Is This The End for Marshawn Lynch?

Marshawn Lynch has been one of the most consistent running backs in all of football since joining the Seattle Seahawks in the 2010 season. Since playing his first full season in Seattle in 2011, Lynch has rushed for at least 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns in every season with the club. This year though, Beast […]

DeMarco Murray Wakes Up In Week 5, But Can We Expect More of the Same?

DeMarco Murray has likely been the bane of your existence if you own him in fantasy. After leading the league in rushing with the Dallas Cowboys last year, prior to yesterday's game against the Saints, Murray had rushed for a grand total of 47 yards as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles this season. Murray […]

Keep an Eye on Keshawn Martin in Deep Leagues

New England Patriots wide receiver Keshawn Martin is worth keeping an eye on in deep fantasy football leagues. The 25-year-old former fourth round draft pick was on the team's active roster in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, former second round draft pick Aaron Dobson was a healthy scratch. Martin caught two balls for […]

Willie Snead the Receiver to Own in New Orleans?

With the departures of two of Drew Brees' biggest targets last year (Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills), many wondered who in the New Orleans receiving corps would be the man to step up. Five games into the season, it seems as if that man is Willie Snead. Snead followed up a solid Week 4 performance […]

Anquan Boldin Performs Well In Week 5 Losing Effort

Though the San Francisco 49ers have certainly had a rough go at things this season, all is not lost. Take for example the play of veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin. In a Week 5 losing effort that saw his San Francisco side come up short against Eli Manning and the New York Giants, Boldin was […]

Rashad Jennings Still a Rotating Running Back for Giants

Clearly, the New York Giants are known for their arial attack. Led by Eli Manning, the Giants managed a late-game, fourth-quarter comeback that stunned the San Francisco 49ers, sending them home with their fourth loss of the season. However, there’s something to be said for the Giant’s running game. Unfortunately, as far as Rashad Jennings […]

Look to Shane Vereen for Hidden Fantasy Value In Week 6

Currently, the New York Giants have an interesting situation at the running back position. With no real outlying back through five games this season, the Giants have opted to rotate Andre Williams, Rashad Jennings and Shane Vereen. Though both Williams and Jennings have little to no value for fantasy owners, with Odell Beckham Jr. and […]
