Darrell Henderson Jr. Has A Good Matchup For Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson needed some time to get his feet under him to start the year, but he's rolling heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. He's the RB21 on the year despite being a non-factor in two games this season, and he's averaging just over 12 point-per-reception […]

Jared Goff Has An Average Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff hasn't been perfect this season, but he's been a decent option as the overall QB14 through seven weeks. In Week 8, he's definitely not going to be near the top of the rankings against the Miami Dolphins. He has the full complement of his receiving weapons, but he's going […]

Dalvin Cook Expects To Be Active Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) expects to return to action in Week 8 against the Packers. Cook was injured in Week 5 and missed the Week 6 contest before the team's Week 7 bye. He was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, which is a good sign, but his fantasy managers […]

D.J. Moore Has WR1 Upside In Week 8

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore has a great chance to stay hot against the Falcons Defense in Week 8. Oddly enough, Moore has compiled exactly 93 receiving yards in three consecutive games, finding the end zone three times in his last three contests. Through the first five weeks of the season, teammate Robby Anderson […]

Robby Anderson A High-End WR2 Against Atlanta

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson gets a juicy matchup against the Falcons in Week 8. Anderson torched their secondary in their first meeting back in Week 5, turning 12 targets into eight catches for 112 yards. The 27-year-old has taken a bit of a backseat to fellow wideout D.J. Moore the past couple of […]

Daily Fantasy Golf FanDuel Picks (PGA DFS) - Bermuda Championship

Hello RotoBaller PGA family! Patrick Cantlay finally found his form at Sherwood and took down the powerhouse combo of Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm to win the ZOZO Championship! This week's Bermuda Championship is the polar opposite of last week's ZOZO Championship, as a fairly watered-down is set to tee it up at Port Royal […]

Daily Fantasy Golf DraftKings Picks (PGA DFS): Bermuda Championship

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Patrick Cantlay swiped the ZOZO Championship away from Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm, capturing his third title on tour in the process. The UCLA product only made two bogeys all week and found himself third in strokes gained tee to green and first in scrambling. We discussed a little on the site […]

Padraig Harrington Set To Return To PGA Tour

Padraig Harrington will make his first start on the PGA Tour since the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March. The three-time major champion has missed his last nine cuts dating back to May of 2019, but he has found success at Port Royal in the past. In two career starts at Port Royal, Harrington has […]

What to Do With Mike Evans

So, Mike Evans. Perhaps the most frustrating wide receiver in fantasy football right now, Evans has scored six touchdowns this season. But in seven games, he's finished with two or fewer receptions four times and most notably has done a complete vanishing act in the games where he shared the field with Chris Godwin, averaging […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 8

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 8

With Week 7 in the books, it’s time to look at some of the warning signals to determine which players are more likely to see a dip in their production. We are looking at workload and efficiency metrics when evaluating these players. We do not want to just chase points or condemn a player for […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 7

This series continues into its seventh week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 7, we saw performances such as Joe Burrow throwing for 406 yards and three touchdowns, the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver room combining for 80 receiving yards, […]

Five Players to Stash Now in Redraft Leagues

We're now heading into Week 8 and approaching the stretch run of the fantasy football season. This means that it's important to scour your waiver wire for potential values and look at remaining schedules for exploitable matchups. This could help bolster the depth of your roster, making you well-equipped to handle the bye weeks. It […]

Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Throughout the season, the Carolina Panthers have continued to utilize wide receiver Curtis Samuel in a number of ways. He has had at least four targets in five of his six games and he's earned at least four carries on three occasions. […]

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. has been emerging as a dynamic playmaker for the offense lately and could be on the verge of a breakout season. Over his last two games, Smith has eight catches for 119 yards on 10 targets. […]

Mike Davis In A Great Bounce-Back Spot

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is in a great spot to redeem himself in Week 8 against the Falcons after last week's dud. Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is back practicing, though he is a long shot to play, particularly on a short week. That would leave Davis as the lead back for one more contest […]

Denzel Mims (WR, NYJ) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took a while thanks to that pesky hamstring injury that kept him sidelined, but Denzel Mims has finally arrived in New York. The Jets spent a second-round pick on the former Baylor wideout and got to watch him play for the first […]

Corey Davis (WR, TEN) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, and A.J. Brown on the roster, it makes sense to find Corey Davis buried under the top-three players of the Titans and not making many headlines these days. If you add the fact that poor Corey missed Weeks […]

How Much Attention Should We Give WR/CB Matchups?

Depending on who you ask, you will get widely varying answers. Some fantasy GMs pay attention to opposing defenses as a whole, while others try to get a step further but looking at individual cornerback matchups. After a time in which I had not paid much attention to those individual battles, I just wanted to […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have been a sucker for Cole Beasley for multiple years now. I'm biased about his talent, probably. But let's be honest here for a minute. How many players rostered on less than 50% of fantasy leagues have such a high floor […]

Week 7 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 6 scoring was a little down and Deshaun Watson led the way with 32 fantasy points. That was not the case in Week 7 as Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow and Russell Wilson all accounted for at least three touchdowns and exceeded 32 fantasy points in the process. Week 7 was a […]

Russell Knox Seeking Bounce-Back Performance

Russell Knox had a solid T9 finish at the Safeway Open to start his 2021 season but has missed the cut in each of his last two starts. He does not drive the ball far, but he makes up for it with his approach shots. Knox ranks fifth on Tour in greens in regulation percentage. […]

FAB Bidding - Week 8 Waiver Wire Targets

Don't get caught sleeping at the midseason curve, as bye weeks, injuries, and breakouts yield several paths to victory. Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's Tua Time, folks. We made it. It took us--or rather, Miami--seven weeks after a full offseason to make the decision, but here we are. You gotta feel bad for mighty Ryan Fitzpatrick after his great start to the season, but this is the […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm just a guy writing from his mom's basement, so I'm no one to tell you what to do... unless it has to do with Derek Carr. It doesn't take a genius to see what's going on, but somehow and for some reason, […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As the bye weeks necessitate constant waiver wire action, injuries at the running back position have yet to cease. Aaron Jones, Chris Carson, and Kenyan Drake are the latest to pull the rug from under fantasy teams without warning. The pickings may be slim these days but between byes and injuries, you might have no […]

Wayne Gallman (RB, NYG) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We had zero doubts about how the Giants would proceed once they lost Saquon Barkley for the year: sign someone from the street, as the replacements in tow were rather poor. Now that that free agent (Devonta Freeman) is injured (ankle), New York […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Greg Ward (WR, PHI) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Up to nine receivers have dressed already this season for the Eagles. Injuries have killed half of the squad, and it's been a "next-man-up" approach for weeks now in Philly. Barring the absolutely unexpected explosion from Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward has been the […]
