Laviska Shenault Jr. - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is an intriguing but confounding Week 6 fantasy option against the Miami Dolphins in London. On one hand, Miami has allowed opposing wideouts to score the fourth-most PPR points in the NFL, but on the other hand, Shenault was only targeted three times last week while catching just […]

Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb Miss Thursday Practice

Cleveland Browns running backs Kareem Hunt (wrist, knee) and Nick Chubb (calf) both missed practice on Thursday, making it two days in a row that the star runners have not been able to take the field. Hunt was spotted working off to the side while Chubb was not seen at all on Thursday. The Browns […]

Bears Place Damien Williams On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed running back Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The Bears are already without David Montgomery (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, so rookie Khalil Herbert is now in position to start in a dream matchup against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. It's unclear if Williams tested positive for […]

Carlos Hyde - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde shouldn't be a fantasy consideration in Week 6 despite facing a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the most PPR points in the NFL to opposing running backs. James Robinson has emerged as a dominant lead back over the last few weeks, rendering Hyde a mere change of pace […]

James Robinson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is a surefire RB1 in Week 6 against a Miami defense that has given up more fantasy points to opposing running backs than any other NFL team. Miami is allowing a whopping 33.2 PPR points per game to opposing backs, and the red-hot Robinson is primed to take advantage. […]

NFL DFS Strategy: 2021 DraftKings Scoring Analysis

We talk a lot about NFL DFS here at RotoBaller. It is a wildly popular game and in fact, it proves to be much more strategic and beatable than season-long fantasy football. By that I mean that the best players will win at a higher rate in DFS than the best players will win in […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 8: English Premier League

We're back following the international break and we're looking to make it six straight matchweeks of profit following a big game two weeks ago. We correctly picked Leeds to beat Watford on Saturday, although our prop bets all fell through. But Crystal Palace and Leicester City played out a 2-2 draw like we predicted and […]

Christian McCaffrey Looking Doubtful For Sunday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. McCaffrey was limited on Wednesday but was downgraded to a non-participant Thursday- suggesting that he may have suffered some sort of setback at practice. The star runner hasn't officially been deemed doubtful, but fantasy managers […]

K.J. Osborn - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Being the third wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings recently has been less than ideal for fantasy purposes. Most weeks, K.J. Osborn is going to be the fourth option, at best, in a run-first offense. Some weeks he could be even lower if they decide to get tight end Tyler Conklin involved. The first two weeks […]

Trevor Lawrence - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence has plenty of upside against the Miami Dolphins in an ideal Week 6 matchup. The Dolphins have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks to date in 2021 and they were eviscerated by Tom Brady for 411 yards and five passing touchdowns last week. Lawrence has also been […]

Corey Knebel Will Start Game 5

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Corey Knebel will start Thursday night's deciding Game 5 against the San Francisco Giants. This comes as a significant surprise, as the strong expectation was for lefty Julio Urias to take the mound for the Dodgers. It is possible this is intended to force Giants manager Gabe Kapler into starting […]

Antonio Gibson Not Limited By Shin Injury

Washington Football Team offensive coordinator Scott Turner said running back Antonio Gibson (shin) has not been limited by a hairline fracture in his shin. "No. He's good. He's not limited. We take care of him during the week and we make sure he's ready to go, but as of now once Sunday hits he's ready […]

Lamar Jackson Not Spotted At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. It's unknown if Jackson is actually dealing with an injury or if there is something else keeping him off the field, but we'll keep you updated when more information comes out. The 24-year-old superstar put on […]

Christian McCaffrey Not At Practice Thursday

There was no sign of Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. McCaffrey has been limited in the last four practices as he recovers from his hamstring strain, so this isn't a good sign as he hopes to return in Week 6 against the […]

Justin Jefferson Expects To Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he will be limited on Thursday and expects to play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers got a little spooked on Wednesday with his missed practice, but fret not, the 22-year-old should remain glued to all starting fantasy lineups […]

T.J. Hockenson Practicing On Thursday

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Hockenson has been bothered by a knee injury in recent weeks. While he has played through the injury, the 24-year-old hasn't found the end zone since Week 2 and has only eight receptions on 13 targets for 74 yards […]

DeVante Parker Trending In The Wrong Direction

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Parker was unable to play in the Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and looks headed for another absence this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He'll need to at least practice on a limited […]

Tyreek Hill Misses Another Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) will miss his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Hill was believed to have suffered a minor injury in the Sunday night loss to the Buffalo Bills, but his status is in question for a Week 6 tilt with the Washington Football Team. The 27-year-old speedster […]

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Out Again Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) were both missing from practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The Giants haven't officially ruled Barkley or Golladay out for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, but they are both fully expected to miss this weekend. Barkley is […]

Mason McTavish Records First NHL Goal

Anaheim Ducks winger Mason McTavish recorded a goal and added an assist in his NHL debut on Wednesday. His new team defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1. At 18 years old, McTavish became the youngest player in Ducks history to score a goal. He also provided an assist on Adam Henrique's power-play goal in the second […]

Curtis Samuel A No-Show Again Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) remained out of practice on Thursday during the media-viewing portion. Samuel has been dealing with this same groin injury since training camp. He finally made his season debut in Week 4, but he aggravated the groin on Sunday and is now in danger of missing another game […]

Antonio Gibson Back At Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gibson has been playing through a hairline fracture in his shin and has been rested on Wednesdays the last several weeks. He hasn't missed a game either, but the shin injury is something to continue watching […]

Cowboys Defense Could Keep Rolling In Week 6

The Dallas Cowboys defense will look to keep things going in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. They weren't expected to be a good defensive unit when the season started, but they've put up DST1 finishes in every week of the season so far, averaging an overall DST7 finish. The Cowboys have an impressive […]

Daniel Jones Returns To Limited Practice Thursday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) was the first QB in every drill on Thursday and will be listed as limited on the final practice report. According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, it looks like Jones will play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams unless he has some sort of setback. The […]

Greg Zuerlein - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein makes for a solid fantasy option in Week 6 lineups. The Cowboys are taking on the New England Patriots and shouldn't have much trouble moving the ball against their struggling defense. In Week 5, Zuerlein made three field goals and five extra points and he's been solid and consistent since […]

Blake Jarwin - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is approaching fantasy irrelevance. He was expected to be the top tight end for the Cowboys before the season started, but ended up sharing snaps with Dalton Schultz before being thoroughly outplayed in every game. Through the first four weeks, Jarwin and Schultz were seeing almost the same number […]

Dalton Schultz - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz finally got the separation he needed in Week 5 and is a clear TE1 option for Week 6 against the New England Patriots. While Schultz had been the best tight end in a Cowboys uniform all season, he was still splitting routes and targets almost evenly with Blake Jarwin […]

Lance McCullers Jr.'s MRI Gives Positive News

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) should be fine in the long run after undergoing an MRI exam, but there's still no word on whether he will be able to pitch during the rest of the postseason. McCullers left early in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Chicago White […]
