Wendell Smallwood - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back Wendell Smallwood is likely to play the J.D. McKissic role in the offense, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Many thought that rookie Jaret Patterson could see an increased role, but that doesn't seem to be the case this week. Smallwood has shown some upside as a pass-catcher from his […]

Graham Gano - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has been one of the most consistent fantasy kickers in 2021, converting 22 of his 25 field-goal attempts and all 14 of his extra-point tries. The Giants could struggle to move the ball in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins with starting quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) ruled out. Gano […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Exits Early On Friday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (quad) was forced to exit early and didn't return during Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's surprising that the Rockets cleared Porter to play after he has been dealing with quad issues over the last week or so. It was reported that Porter was going to miss some […]

Logan Thomas - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas should find his way back into TE1 territory after being on a pitch count in his return to action. The 30-year old caught three of his six targets for 31 yards in Week 12 while having what looked to be a touchdown called back. Six targets in his […]

Curtis Samuel - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) could have an increased role in his second game back after being limited last week in his first game action since Week 5. Samuel was given two touches in his return, which turned into one catch for nine yards, and a rushing attempt that gained four yards. […]

Taylor Heinicke - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke has QB2 appeal in a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. Heinicke is fresh off completing 27-of-35 passes against the Seahawks in a game where the Football Team dominated possession. It is unlikely that Heinicke will be able to see that type of passing volume once […]

Jalen McDaniels, Mason Plumlee Out Several Games

Charlotte Hornets forward Jalen McDaniels and center Mason Plumlee have entered the league's health and safety protocols. The Hornets are going to be extremely shorthanded over the next week or so. Both Gordon Hayward and Miles Bridges will be asked to carry a heavier workload. P.J. Washington should move into the starting center spot and […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin draws a tough matchup in Week 13 against a stingy Las Vegas Raiders' pass defense. The Raiders have surrendered the ninth-fewest receiving yards this season, and have allowed 10 yards per reception, which is fourth-fewest. McLaurin has been extremely inconsistent this year and has proved to be a […]

Antonio Gibson - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson has his outlook on the rise as we head into the stretch run of the season. With J.D. McKissic out, Gibson could be leaned on quite heavily once again, just six days after the sophomore handled a career-high 36 touches against Seattle. Gibson gets another great matchup on […]

Cardinals Defense - Week 13 Outlook

The Arizona Cardinals were expected to score plenty of points in 2021. And they have done just that, ranking 5th in points per game. But it's the Arizona defense that has been the biggest surprise and the reason they are currently the number one seed in the NFC. The Cardinal defense is currently fourth in […]

LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier Enter COVID-19 Protocols

Charlotte Hornets guards LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier are expected to miss several games. Both players have entered the league's health and safety protocols. That being said, Ish Smith and Kelly Oubre Jr. should be asked to play significant roles while they're sidelined. The Hornets are going to be shorthanded, so both players should be […]

Javonte Williams - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams is in line to make his first career NFL start on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs with Melvin Gordon (hip, shoulder) doubtful to play in Week 13. And fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Williams splitting too much of the load with third-stringer Mike Boone, as head […]

Darius Slayton - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will have an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins with rookie Kadarius Toney (oblique, quadriceps) and Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) doubtful to play. He caught three passes for 40 yards on four targets with both Giants receivers out in the Week 12 win over the Philadelphia […]

RJ Barrett Will Play Saturday

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (illness) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Luckily, Barrett was only forced to miss one game due to an illness. His return will push Immanuel Quickley to the bench. He should still have some value, but not quite as much anymore. Barrett has been playing […]

Teddy Bridgewater - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater showed his toughness last week when he returned from a lower right leg injury to help beat the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12. However, it didn't lead to much in the box score or in fantasy, as he went 11-for-18 for 129 yards and one touchdown. Bridgewater was […]

Vikings Defense - Week 13 Outlook

The Minnesota Vikings defense hasn't been a reliable starting unit in 2021. In the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Vikings gave up 34 points, the sixth time in 11 games opponents have scored at least 27 points. The Vikings take on the winless Detroit Lions in Week 13 who are giving […]

Week 13 Red Zone Risers and Fallers

So I was thinking, why are the red zone risers and fallers so important, and then I came across this article from Sharp Football Analysis, and suddenly it all made sense. "In the past decade, 74.1% of all offensive touchdowns have come from the red zone." And if you come across defenses that are stingy […]

Zach Ertz - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The last time Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz took the field, he had his best fantasy performance of the season. His eight catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns were enough to catapult Ertz to TE10 on the season. With the possible return of quarterback Kyler Murray in Week 13, Ertz will look to […]

Seahawks Defense Could Struggle In Week 13

The Seattle Seahawks defense has been on a solid run the last several weeks, but that run could run out in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers. After giving up 30 or more points in two of the first three games of the year, they've held their last eight opponents all under the 30-point […]

Dawson Knox - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is normally someone who can be started as a weekly TE1 in most formats. However, Knox could have some trouble against the New England Patriots in Week 13. A defense that has allowed the fewest points to tight ends this season. It's worth noting that Knox has seven touchdowns […]

Christian Kirk - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has seen his opportunities increase the last three weeks with the absence of DeAndre Hopkins. Unfortunately, quarterback Kyler Murray has also been missing leaving Kirk and the rest of the receiving corps struggling to connect with backup quarterbacks. With both Murray and Hopkins carrying questionable tags once again going […]

Emmanuel Sanders - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has seen his target share drop dramatically over the last few weeks. Sanders has been unable to surpass 30 receiving yards in any of his last three games. It's a real shame because Sanders was exceeding expectations early in the season and has now almost fallen off the fantasy […]

DraftKings NFL DFS Lineup Picks - Week 13: Break The Slate

Hi there, RotoBallers, and welcome back to Break The Slate! It's great to be back talking NFL DFS with you! In what's been a weird season of NFL DFS, Week 12 was yet another example, as in-game injuries to popular plays Christian McCaffrey and Miles Sanders, and underwhelming performances from the likes of Jalen Hurts […]

Rams Defense Is Primed For A Big Week 13

The Los Angeles Rams defense has struggled the last few weeks, but they look poised for a strong game in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are the 25th-ranked offense by DVOA, and they've had at least one turnover in all but one game this season. They're a decent group in terms of […]

Tyler Conklin - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin enters the Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions with three consecutive games of 35 yards or fewer. Currently sitting at TE13, Conklin faces a Detroit defense that is ranked 14th against opposing tight ends. Despite the Vikings being 10th in the league in pass attempts and Conklin being […]

Cole Beasley - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley has not surpassed 50 yards in any of his last four games. Possibly, the ribs issue has held him back somewhat, but Beasley isn't quite making the same impact. It's worth noting Beasley has seen five or less targets in each of his last three games. It's probably not […]

Stefon Diggs - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has scored in five of his last six games. The superstar wideout has also seen six or more targets in all of those contests. Sadly, the yardage isn't always there for Diggs, but he continues to be a reliable option for the Bills offense. In Week 13, Diggs will […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 13 - Daily Fantasy Football

After an exciting Week 12, which featured three games on Thanksgiving, the season rolls on, beginning on Thursday with a showdown between the Cowboys and Saint in New Orleans. Unquestionably, there are some significant injuries to consider as we head toward kickoff on Sunday, beginning with DeAndre Hopkins and Kyler Murray, two players who have […]

Matt Breida - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills running back Matt Breida has seen increased touches each of the last three weeks. He seemingly came out of nowhere and has become the Bills best option in the backfield. Breida has totaled 48 yards or more in each of his last three games. However, Breida will have a tough matchup against the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/4/21): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a relatively small six-game slate on tap tonight over on DraftKings, but it's certainly not a night that's lacking intrigue. The Grizzlies-Mavericks game looks to be the most promising of them all for DFS purposes as neither team plays much defense and they combine to allow the most overall fantasy points per game […]
