James Washington (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~190 Overall CURRENT ADP: 220+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington will open the season as the team's WR3. The once top-rated prospect has lost a lot of momentum due to the emergence of trendy sleeper Diontae Johnson and the drafting of Canadian Chase Claypool. However, there is reason to […]

ADP Showdown: Courtland Sutton vs. D.K. Metcalf

The draft season brings out a lot of controversial dichotomies between players who are being selected within a few picks of each other. Sometimes these are really easy decisions to make and other times it’s almost too close to call. There are a lot of tough choices at the wide receiver position this year since […]

Parris Campbell (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 190+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell had a tough rookie season plagued by several injuries, including a broken foot that ended his 2019 season. Heading into Campbell's second season with the Colts, he will have a competent quarterback in Philip Rivers throwing him the ball […]

ADP Showdown: Josh Jacobs vs. Nick Chubb

With drafts right around the corner, it's time to dig in and start the final preparations. Preparing for drafts means developing a strategy and what you should expect as the time draws closer. One way to do so is by having a good understanding of current ADP data. The current ADP will give fantasy owners […]

Adrian Peterson Has Stiff First Test Against Bears

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson is back in the NFC North and will face a familiar, yet formidable foe Week 1 against the Bears. Peterson was cut loose by Washington last week and was signed by the Lions to provide insurance among a running back group battling injuries. With rookie D'Andre Swift (leg) and […]

D'Andre Swift A Risky Play In Week 1

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (leg) continues to practice on a limited basis heading into the team's Week 1 matchup against the Bears. Swift has missed the majority of training camp with an injury that has been shrouded in mystery. The Lions also recently signed veteran runner Adrian Peterson, further clouding Swift's availability heading […]

Tarik Cohen On Course To Be Lead Back In Week 1

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen is expected to see the bulk of the carries Week 1 against the Lions. Teammate David Montgomery (groin) returned to practice but his status is iffy at best to play in the opener. Enter Cohen, who has game-breaking abilities with the ball in his hands but is coming off […]

David Montgomery Back At Practice; Still Questionable For Week 1

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin) returned to practice but remains very iffy for Week 1 against the Lions. Montgomery injured the groin during a non-contact drill two weeks ago and is expected to be a game-time decision heading into Sunday. Despite an on-paper appealing matchup, Montgomery playing Week 1 may not deliver fantasy […]

Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (9/9/20) - DraftKings, Daily Fantasy

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks.  I have been focusing on the NHL playoffs but as the hockey season starts to wind down, it is time to shift the focus back to CS:GO. As always, I will do my best to give you the stats and info […]

Matthew Stafford Could Underwhelm Week 1

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford enters the 2020 season with plenty of bounce-back buzz but could underwhelm in Week 1. Stafford was en route to a career season in 2019 but a fractured back ended his season. The veteran passer is garnering plenty of top-10 quarterback buzz but will go up against a Bears Defense […]

Von Miller Suffers Potential Season-Ending Ankle Injury

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) suffered an injury late Tuesday during the team's indoor practice. It's being described as a "freak" ankle injury and it is believed that it could cost the usually-durable Miller his 2020 season. Denver was looking forward to having potentially one of the best pass-rush duos in the league in […]

Mitchell Trubisky Has Appealing Week 1 Matchup

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky is officially the team's starter heading into Week 1 and will have an intriguing matchup against the Lions. In five career games against Detroit, Trubisky has thrown for 11 touchdowns while averaging 271.1 passing yards per game. The fourth-year starter has by far enjoyed the most success in his career […]

Julio Jones A WR1 Against Seattle

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Seattle Seahawks secondary in Week 1. Seattle ranked 14th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, so it is a semi-tough matchup. However, Seattle is a bit banged up, with Tre Flowers (ankle) and Jamal Adams (hand) nursing injuries. Jones is likely to […]

Charlie Morton Sets Sights On Red Sox

Tampa Bay Rays starter Charlie Morton struggled in his most recent start on Monday against the Washington Nationals, surrendering three runs on four hits in five innings of work. The right-hander only threw 57 pitches, as he is continuing to build up stamina after missing about a month with shoulder inflammation. The reeling Boston Red […]

Davante Adams Should Have Strong Week 1

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams gets a strong matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the 2020 season. In two games against Minnesota last year, Adams averaged 12.5 targets per game, 10 catches per game and 111 receiving yards per game. It's a juicy matchup for the 27-year-old against Minnesota's young […]

James Robinson Could Be Interesting Week 1 DFS Play

The Jacksonville Jaguars backfield is a mess right now, but undrafted free-agent running back James Robinson appears to be the starter for the team. Because we don't have much to go on this week, starting Robinson in season-long formats seems like a tough call, but he's an interesting DFS option for fantasy managers who are […]

Evan Longoria Remains Sidelined On Tuesday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (glute) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Longoria was scratched with glute soreness on Monday and has not yet fully recovered. In his absence, Pablo Sandoval will start at the hot corner and bat seventh. The 34-year-old is batting .205 with […]

Pedro Baez Throwing Simulated Game Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Pedro Baez (groin) is scheduled to make a simulated appearance on Wednesday. Assuming there are no setbacks, Baez could return to the team's bullpen this weekend. The reliable right-hander posted a 3.97 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through 11 1/3 innings this season, but his only fantasy value comes in leagues that […]

O.J. Howard A TE2 For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard is best viewed as a TE2 for the Week 1 matchup against the Saints. With the presence of Rob Gronkowski, Howard's fantasy value takes a hit, as he will not be the primary tight end target for quarterback Tom Brady. The Saints also proved to be a tough matchup […]

Gardner Minshew II A QB2 Option To Start Season

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is a solid QB2 option with upside in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. Minshew finished his rookie season with 3,271 passing yards on a 60.6 completion percentage with 21 touchdowns and six interceptions. The 2020 Jaguars have a chance to be really bad, but bad teams can make […]

Alex Dickerson Back In Tuesday's Starting Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (knee) is back in the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Seattle Mariners. He is starting in left field and batting second against Ljay Newsome. Dickerson left Monday's game after fouling a ball off of his knee. Thankfully, it was not a serious ailment for the 30-year-old. […]

Tom Brady A QB1 For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will make his debut with a new team for the first time in his career, and it will be a heavyweight battle against a divisional opponent in the Saints. Brady has a plethora of weapons in Tampa, and this should be a high-scoring affair. When it comes to Brady, […]

Leonard Fournette A Flex Play In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette will appear in a new uniform for Week 1 of the 2020 season after being surprisingly released by the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Always known as a workhorse back in the NFL, Fournette will have to fight with Ronald Jones II for that role in Tampa. Still getting […]

Richard Rodgers Signs With The Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end Richard Rodgers. Rodgers played for the Eagles last season, but only appeared in one game after playing in seven games in 2018. He signed with the Washington Football Team earlier this offseason but was released at final cuts. With Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert atop the depth chart, […]

J.D. Martinez Showing Signs Of Life In September

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez has had an extremely disappointing year overall, slashing .227/.313/.404 with just four home runs and 18 RBI. He's extremely unlikely to return satisfying value from the high draft capital his fantasy owners spent on him. However, he has shown some promising signs in September so far. Through his first […]

Ronald Jones II An RB3 For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is still the RB1 in Tampa after the team signed Leonard Fournette last week, but the back should be considered an RB3 for this week in fantasy. Jones must prove he is capable of shouldering the load as the RB1 with Fournette vying for that role while […]

Ken Giles Throws Live Batting Practice Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Ken Giles (forearm) threw a successful live batting practice on Tuesday afternoon. Assuming there are no setbacks, Giles could potentially return to the team on the weekend. The 29-year-old has not appeared in a game since July 26, but he could be a worthwhile fantasy addition if he goes back to […]

Ryan Succop Should Be Avoided In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should be avoided in the Week 1 matchup against the Saints. New Orleans allowed the eighth-fewest points to the position last year, and it will be the kicker's first game with a new team, as he just signed with Tampa a week ago. Last season, Succop only appeared in […]

Daniel Murphy Sitting On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ryan McMahon is shifting over to cover first base while Garrett Hampson is getting the start at second base. This will be the second time in the past three games that Murphy is on the bench, […]
