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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Paul George (SF, IND) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/14

How do we ignore Paul George? I don't care that he's had two sub-par fantasy performances in a row. Guess what that means? His price dropped out of the five digit range. George will enter a battle showcasing two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, in what should be a close game of […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) - DraftKings Sleeper for 12/14

In relief of the injured Emmanuel Mudiay Friday night, Nelson dropped 20 points, dished out seven assists, grabbed six rebounds and picked up two steals in 38 minutes. According to CBSSports.com, Mudiay has officially been ruled out on Monday, which means Nelson will likely once again step into the starting lineup. Nelson's Friday night performance […]

Week 15 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick & A.J. McCarron

I hope you made it through your first playoff matchup or advanced into the playoffs in Week 14! Unfortunately the QB streams were pretty disappointing. Tyrod Taylor delivered a decent game that meets our standards but it was still underwhelming given the matchup. In a huge surprise, Jameis Winston totally flopped on what should have […]

Week 14 Monday Night Football Analysis: Matchups We Love and Hate

Monday Night Football features two teams desperately trying to keep up with the race for the playoffs. The promos have featured two of the NFL's biggest stars and they're not the two $100 million quarterbacks! This is a pass happy league and two little wide receivers will be the most dangerous fantasy prospects on the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/14/15

New Orleans is one of my favorite vacation spots. Unfortunately, I have fun picking on their basketball team as well. It's hard not to. Same with the Houston Rockets. Tonight's lineup features a couple of big names, either attempting to reclaim glory or continue their climb to prestige, as well as a veteran looking to […]
