Eddie Royal Rising on the Depth Chart

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Eddie Royal returned two weeks ago after missing five games with a knee injury. He finished with 31 yards on five catches, his most since Week 6, in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings this past weekend. The five receptions (and six targets) […]

Seriously, Pick up Kamar Aiken!

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Few receivers have become as consistent on a week-to-week basis as Kamar Aiken. He has at least five receptions in seven straight games, and at least 50 yards in six of those games. He's coming off his best outing of the season-- an […]

Teddy Bridgewater Is Finding His Rhythm Late

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Streaming quarterbacks against the New York Giants has worked very well the last several weeks. Over the last seven games, every QB has scored at least 15 points. The Giants have also given up the most passing yards on the entire season. Meanwhile, […]

Kirk Cousins Has Yet Another Favorable Upcoming Matchup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I have not given Kirk Cousins nearly enough respect this season. After his third game with at least 25 points, it’s finally time to acknowledge the really nice season that Cousins is having. He has more points than preseason favorites Ryan Tannehill and […]

Is Johnny Manziel Turning the Corner?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m kind of disappointed that Johnny Manziel hasn’t run more this season, because that would make him a LOT more interesting from a fantasy perspective. Out of the quarterbacks owned in under 25% of leagues, I still like him the most anyway, as […]

Don't Expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to Slow Down

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Despite the weak game against the Dallas Cowboys, Ryan Fitzpatrick still likely sits at the top of this week's list of reliable quarterbacks. His next game (and final game for many of you) comes at home against the New England Patriots, a team […]

Week 15 MNF Matchups Analysis & Start/Sit Recommendations

Remember when Matthew Stafford and Drew Brees were throwing for 40+ touchdowns a year and being talked about as potential MVP candidates? Well they are no longer those guys, but they're still pretty good. Both quarterbacks have teams no longer in the NFL playoff hunt, but have rosters that are still filled with all sorts of fantasy […]

Brandon Jennings (PG, DET) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Temporary stash/Add in all leagues OWNED: 34% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Brandon Jennings is a flashy name that may have been forgotten by many in the fantasy basketball community. After nearly a year away from the court following a devastating Achilles injury last January, Jennings comeback appears nearly complete, as he looked […]

Is Atlanta's Offense Back on Track? Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Devonte Freeman Lead the Birds to Victory

The Atlanta Falcons have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season. After starting the season on a five game winning streak, Atlanta had been on a six game losing streak prior to Sunday's game over the Jacksonville Jaguars, with questions swirling about whether quarterback Matt Ryan's time was up in […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Chris Ivory, Eddie Lacy, Lamar Miller

This week saw a trio of running backs who didn't perform up to expectations. Let's take a closer look at their performances, and what it means for your fantasy team. Hopefully they didn't kill your chances of winning in the playoffs. New York Jets running back Chris Ivory had an extremely lackluster performance in Saturday's […]

Jeremy Lin (PG, CHA) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/21

Jeremy Lin (at HOU, $5,200) Has Linsanity swept through Charlotte? Not exactly, but Lin has taken advantage of injuries, exploding onto scoresheets the past two contests, posting 50.75 and 32.5 fantasy points. Lin's price has skyrocketed, increasing by $1,000 in only two games. With P.J. Hairston now designated to a predominately defensive role for the Hornets, […]

Blake Griffin (PF, LAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Blake Griffin (vs OKC, $8,900) Griffin's price has dropped down to earth a bit. Good. Makes it easier to scoop him up. Griffin has teetered around and has exceeded the 40 fantasy point mark in nine straight games. The Clippers against the Thunder should be a battle, a possible playoff preview, that is likely to be […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Carmelo Anthony (vs ORL, $8,400) It seems like 'Melo is finally finding his stroke. Until he proves otherwise, he is as smart of a fantasy pick as any. He has shot over 60% from the field in two of his last four games, and has been surprisingly spreading stats across the board. Normally an unlikely candidate […]

Garrett Temple (SG, WAS) and Jared Dudley (SF, WAS) - Value Stack on DraftKings 12/21

Garrett Temple (vs SAC, $4,000) Despite the revolving door of starting shooting guards in Washington since Bradley Beal went down, Temple may have now solidified his spot in the starting five with his performance Saturday night. In 35 minutes against the Hornets, Temple dropped 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. If he continues […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/21/15

It's important to not only focus on the lopsided matchups but also contests consisting of two great teams or two great players that'll likely guard each other. Anything that spells high scoring is gravitating in daily fantasy. If only every game went into multiple overtimes. Today's lineup features a point guard reclaiming fame away from […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Outfield (Part 2)

It’s time for another installment of the December edition of RotoBaller’s 2016 fantasy baseball rankings, December edition. If you missed yesterday’s outfield analysis, click here. Today, we’ll discuss the outfielders that I’m bearish on for next season, relative to my colleagues (again, Brad Johnson, Nick Mariano, and Max Petrie also participated in this round of […]

Week 15 Tight End Outlooks: Delanie Walker, Gary Barnidge, Julius Thomas

Delanie Walker is enjoying his finest season as a pro this year with Tennessee, and he’s become one of the most reliable tight ends in fantasy football. Walker has averaged more than 10 fantasy points per game over the last month, and only once did he score a touchdown in that span. He’s seeing a […]

Week 15 Lineup Busts: Blaine Gabbert, Brandon LaFell, Frank Gore

The San Francisco 49ers had a Week 14 performance they’d like to put behind them for the rest of eternity. The 49ers’ woeful offensive line allowed the abysmal Browns defense to sack Blaine Gabbert an unprecedented nine times in a 24-10 Cleveland victory, and you have to wonder how truly awful San Francisco’s offensive line […]

Week 15 Lineup Studs: Allen Hurns, John Brown, Amari Cooper

Week 15 is upon us, and I'm gonna tell you about some great sleeper plays at the wide receiver position for today. Let's start with the Jacksonville Jaguars second fiddle Allen Hurns. Hurns returned last week against the Indianapolis Colts after missing a game due to injury, hauling in three passes for 105 yards and a […]

Week 15 Lineup Booms? Michael Crabtree, Lamar Miller, A.J. Green

Over his last five games, Michael Crabtree’s numbers have been nothing more than mediocre. Crabtree, who recently signed an extension to stay in Oakland for the next few years, has cooled off since tearing it up with three-straight double-digit fantasy outings from Weeks 7-9. Crabtree has only amassed 178 yards in his last five games, […]

Week 15 Quarterback Outlooks: Drew Brees, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford

After a history of inconsistent road play, including his seven-point fantasy performance against the Houston Texans in Week 12, Drew Brees turned it around last week in Tampa Bay by finishing with 312 yards and two touchdowns for 20.4 fantasy points. It was Brees’ second-straight 20-point performance, and he should enjoy the same success on […]

Week 15 Tight End Outlooks: Greg Olsen, Richard Rodgers, Travis Kelce

Tight ends are hit or miss on a weekly basis with the ability to be the difference maker in a win or a loss. The position is basically Rob Gronkowski and everyone else. The fantasy playoffs are putting extra pressure to make the correct decision in starting the right player. There are three players with […]

Week 15 Running Back Outlooks: David Johnson, Tim Hightower, Eddie Lacy

Week 15 will be a fascinating time for running backs in fantasy football. Many great NFL teams like the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers are dealing with injuries to their best running backs. This is heartbreaking for fantasy owners with those players but it opens up a great deal of value and […]

Week 15 Busts: Marcus Mariota and Eli Manning to Underwhelm?

While it’s true that, even as a rookie, Marcus Mariota has seen some success this season, before the end of the year, he’s bound to have another one of those forgetful performances. He’s a young guy; it has to happen. Now, how about Eli Manning? He’s in his twelfth season as a starter for the […]

Week 15 QB Outlooks: Blake Bortles and Matthew Stafford to Impress?

Generally speaking, if you and your fantasy team are in need of some guaranteed points at the quarterback position, Blake Bortles and Matthew Stafford aren’t the first names that come to mind. Sure, it’s possible that both put up some monster numbers from time to time, but they’re perfectly capable of doing the complete opposite, […]

Kent Bazemore (SF, ATL) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/20

Kent Bazemore (at ORL, $5,700) Bazemore has been in the starting lineup the past three nights, and has been producing in his spot-starts. Thabo Sefolosha is battling a lingering ankle injury and until he's back to 100%, Bazemore will be slotted into the starting five. With Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver struggling from the field, Bazemore can swoop […]

Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) and Ryan Anderson (PF, NO) - Stack on DraftKings 12/20

Jrue Holiday (at DEN, $5,100) With Christmas only five days away, it's only fitting that Holiday is on this list. (That's the last seasonal reference, I promise) Holiday has excelled in his new role coming off the bench, and has been exceptionally valuable of late for his cheap price. Holiday has posted 30+ fantasy points […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/20

DeMarcus Cousins (at TOR, $10,200) I get it. He's really expensive, which is troublesome considering he hasn't exactly been posting 50-60+ fantasy points a night; production you want and hope for from a guy in the five digit range. But Cousins is too good to not at least consider each night. He's coming off five straight double-doubles […]
