Alex Burns's 2024-2025 Fantasy Basketball Rankings (Points)

Last week, I released the first edition of my fantasy basketball rankings for the upcoming season, tailored for category scoring -- the most popular format in fantasy basketball. However, I would be remiss not to address those of you competing in points leagues. After all, it was a points league that first introduced me to […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: It's strange seeing the WR1 of a team having such poor production, but Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is, unfortunately, on a terrible offense. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix is running the show, and he's passed for just three touchdowns on the season while […]

DraftKings Late Night CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/12/24)

I will never understand why DraftKings is so dense when it comes to these late-night slates. They left a perfect good Minnesota-UCLA game at the Rose Bowl off of this slate because it started a half-hour earlier. They didn't put it on the evening slate, so why not tack it on here? We still have […]

Fantasy Football Injury Updates for Week 6: Anthony Richardson, Malik Nabers, Jonathan Taylor, A.J. Brown, James Cook

With four teams taking their bye this week, injuries continue to be a major factor as leagues already near the halfway point of fantasy regular seasons.

I'm thrilled to be stepping in for the talented Joe Nicely to provide a week's worth of DraftKings DFS picks! We're coming off a very successful Week 5 slate of cash, GPP, and betting wins, so let's keep the momentum going into Week 6. The bye weeks and London games roll on, so the main […]

NFL DFS: FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks for Week 6 - Top Lineup Plays Include Joe Burrow, Brock Bowers, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Bijan Robinson

The Chiefs, Rams, Dolphins, and Vikings will get a day off. As a result, fantasy managers will be without Kyren Williams, Patrick Mahomes, and Tyreek Hill, among others in Week 6. But after the Thursday night matchup between the 49ers and Seahawks and another London game on Sunday morning, Week 6 rolls on with an […]

Week 6 NFL DFS Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Early Slate (2024): Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley, Marvin Harrison Jr., Tucker Kraft, and More

Welcome back to our weekly DFS column here at RotoBaller! In this piece, I will examine my top, and contrarian plays for the early slate in Week 6 of the NFL Season. Similar to last week, we have an early game in London, that removes the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears from our slate. In […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/12/24)

We are "down" to a dozen games again this week, but that doesn't mean we're short on good games or good DFS spots. The nooners start in Tuscaloosa with South Carolina in town. Clemson heads up to Winston-Salem to take on Wake. Georgia Tech is in Chapel Hill to beat on...er...take on the Tar Heels. […]

The Giants Defense Faces A Strong Bengals Offense In Week 6

The New York Giants' defense has been a solid unit in 2024, ranking 10th overall with 316 yards allowed per game and 22 sacks, the most in the NFL. In New York's Week 5 win against the Seahawks, the defense held Seattle to just 13 points (defense scored 7), continuing their strong performance, particularly in […]

NFL DFS: Cardinals vs. Packers DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 6)

Welcome back to another NFL DFS Showdown slate. We are targeting the Arizona Cardinals against the Green Bay Packers matchup. Kyler Murray is coming in with a hot hand after an upset win over the San Francisco 49ers. Jordan Love and the Packers are trying to secure back-to-back wins. The matchup has an implied total […]

New Orleans D/ST A Risky Start Against Buccaneers

The New Orleans Saints D/ST can be avoided in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What started out as a unit that exceeded expectations in the first three weeks of the season has since petered out. In Weeks 1 through 3, the Saints averaged 3.6 sacks and 2.3 takeaways per game. Over their last […]

Wan'Dale Robinson To Receive High Target Volume In Week 6

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has been a reliable target this season, posting 32 receptions for 230 yards and two touchdowns on 47 targets. In Week 5's win against Seattle, Robinson had six catches for 36 yards and a touchdown, stepping up with Malik Nabers (concussion) sidelined. Heading into a Week 6 matchup […]

Blake Grupe Offers Little Promise In Week 6

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe went without a field goal attempt for the first time this season in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Grupe went 1-for-2 on extra point attempts in the game, making it his second missed point through the first five weeks of the season. Grupe's sophomore season started with […]

Darius Slayton Could Have Another Big Game In Week 6

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is coming off his best performance of the season, posting 122 yards on eight receptions (15.3 yards per catch) in a Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Slayton has become a key target with 244 yards and one touchdown on the season, especially with injuries in the […]

Juwan Johnson A Risky Start In Week 6

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson saw season highs in targets, receptions, and yards in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The fifth-year veteran caught all five balls thrown his way for 31 receiving yards, bringing his 2024 totals to nine receptions for 70 yards. Johnson may yet again see more involvement in […]

Chris Olave A WR3 Against Buccaneers

Expectations for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will have to be tempered in Week 6 with Derek Carr (oblique) lost to injury. Carr's fill-in, rookie Spencer Rattler, offered some reassurance in comments to the media after being named the starter when he stated his intent to feed Olave the ball. That would be […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. May Start Again At Home In Week 6

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has shown flashes of potential this season, rushing for 158 yards on 5.3 yards per carry, but has yet to find the end zone either as a runner or receiver. In Week 5's 29-20 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Tracy was efficient on limited touches, contributing 129 […]

NFL DFS: Lions vs. Cowboys DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 6)

We are back again, RotoBallers! We get another tasty matchup this week in the late slate of games. The Dallas Cowboys are taking on the Detroit Lions in what should be an offensive shootout. Both teams have some struggling defenses in one way or another which could lead to a high-scoring game. Thanks to today's […]

Daniel Jones Is A Solid Option In Week 6

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has had a solid start to the 2024 season, with 1,138 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions through five games. Coming off a 29-20 win against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5, where he threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns, Jones will look to build momentum against […]

Brock Bowers Looks To Continue Dominance At Tight End

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, the lone shining star of a dismal offense, is looking to carry on the momentum of the biggest game of his career when he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Despite an ugly performance by his offense outside of garbage time, Bowers caught eight of 12 targets […]

Tre Tucker Could Be Raiders Top Healthy Receiver In Week 6

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is the top wide receiver option for newly-named starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell when the Raiders take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. With lead wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) declared out and second-string WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) doubtful, Tucker becomes the Raiders No. 1 wideout for Week 6. This […]

Alexander Mattison Faces Another Uphill Battle In Week 6

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will face another tough test when he takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Mattison struggled in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos' excellent run defense. The sixth-year pro carried the ball 15 times for just 38 yards, averaging only 2.5 yards per carry, and caught two […]

Cam Little A Solid Option In Week 6 Against Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little might have a tougher time against the Chicago Bears in London than he did in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars put up 37 points against the Colts, giving Little a 13-point performance. The rookie kicker now has two straight weeks of double-digit fantasy production. Little has been […]

Allen Lazard - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard has found the end zone four times this season, showing a clear chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He's second on the team in receiving yards with 240, second in targets with 33, and has as many receiving […]

Jaguars D/ST Not Worth Starting In Week 6

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit is best left out of starting lineups in most leagues even with a decent London matchup with the Chicago Bears. The Jaguars defense just hasn't cut it both from an NFL and fantasy football standpoint. They are coming off allowing 34 points to Joe Flacco and the Indianapolis Colts, […]

Robert Woods Ruled Out Versus The Pats

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) won't suit up for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. Nico Collins (hamstring) landed on the injured reserved list, so the Texans will be shorthanded on the receiving end. Of course, Stefon Diggs is expected to be the primary target for C.J. Stroud versus New England, with Tank Dell […]

Tyjae Spears - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: While Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears was seen as a breakout candidate coming into the 2024 season, good fantasy numbers haven't materialized, and it's been lead back Tony Pollard that's taken a majority of the touches. While head coach Brian Callahan has expressed a desire to get […]
