Sunday's action was capped off by an absolute shootout between the Lions and Panthers. On this page, we're going to take a look at some "unexpected booms," which are surprise spike weeks from players […]

Monday Night Football is back, and you know that I've got you covered with another NFL DFS breakdown. We had a bit more success on Thursday. Darnell Washington came up big with a touchdown. If Michael Pittman Jr. had done just about anything, then it really would have been a great night. Roman Wilson definitely […]

Fantasy football has become a war of attrition. On some levels, maybe it always was. However, the first four weeks of this season feel unlike anything we've experienced before. Bye weeks have not even started yet, and teams are already scrambling to fill starting lineups. This year, more than any other, requires fantasy managers to […]

Week 5 officially arrives once Monday Night Football ends, and at RotoBaller HQ, we kick off the week with updated waiver wire rankings.

On top of injuries, fantasy managers […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of his ankle injury.

It's once again time to huddle up and collect ourselves after another chaotic week of pro football, which brought another truckload of surprises, heartbreak, and injuries. While we await more specific intel surrounding injury timelines to assess the ripple effects, it never hurts to peek ahead! Let's poke around some early adds with our fantasy […]

Week 4 wasn't a banner week for quarterbacks. Eight signal callers (Drake Maye, Joe Burrow, C.J. Stroud, Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, and Bryce Young) scored over 20.0 fantasy points in the week. Seven quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards (including 400-yard performances from Burrow and Goff), but only three passers […]

Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season had a little bit of everything, from an undrafted free agent starting at quarterback to an improbable battle between two 3-0 teams in the AFC West. We continued to see several big performances from top players, as well as some huge bounce-back showings from players who disappointed last […]

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 31 of his 52 pass attempts for 365 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 4 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also finished the game without being sacked. It was a very impressive performance from the veteran quarterback, with the lone blemish being […]

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was impressive through the air on Sunday. Burrow completed 39-of-54 passing attempts for 428 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow also rushed the ball three times for six yards and an additional score. It's almost more impressive that Burrow posted these […]

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was asked if his ankle injury is inhibiting him at all following their Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Nix gave a quick and blunt answer, "No", per Zac Stevens. Nix hasn't been himself this season, with 605 passing yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions through four games […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is believed to be considered "week-to week" with an ankle injury, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter also seemed to express optimism about Jackson's status moving forward, and said […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had his throwing hand wrapped after their thrilling victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye came into Week 4 with zero touchdowns and three interceptions over his last two games.

He completed 22-of-37 passing attempts for 269 yards with three touchdowns and one interception during the three-point dub. The Pats were on the […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is considered day-to-day after exiting early during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is believed to be day-to-day after leaving Sunday's 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jackson suffered the injury late in the first half and did not return to the field when Baltimore opened the third quarter, with Tyler Huntley taking over at quarterback. […]

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (left elbow) will be a full participant in practice this week, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday. Daniels was limited in all three practices last week before Washington ruled him out against the Indianapolis Colts. He has missed two straight games since dislocating his left elbow in Week 2 against […]

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (right knee) aggravated the MCL injury he first suffered during the preseason and is expected to miss some time, according to Ian Rapoport. Mariota will undergo additional testing after leaving Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first quarter. He completed three of four passes for 46 yards and […]

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (right knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota was injured on a first-quarter sack and went to the locker room after initially being listed as questionable to return. He completed three of four passes for 46 yards and also had a […]

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be the team's third-string quarterback for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Giants traded for McCarthy this past week, and while he should climb to first or second on the depth chart by midseason, he'll open this new chapter at […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have tweaked their quarterback depth chart, naming Tanner McKee the backup over Andy Dalton, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. Dalton had been the No. 2 behind Jalen Hurts through the first three weeks of the season, but he struggled when his number was called last week, throwing an interception on his […]

The Week 4 Sunday slate closes with a primetime clash that could produce serious offensive fireworks between two teams who each rank inside the top-five in the NFL in average points per game. Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions travel south to face the Carolina Panthers in an NFC tilt. A rash of injuries has left both […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) is expected to miss anywhere from three to six weeks, depending on how quickly he is able to grip the football, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Mayfield has avoided an injured reserve stint for now, but the Bucs will give him at least a few weeks off […]

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. made his season debut against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 after tearing his ACL last November. It was his first game back since Week 11. The 26-year-old was solid in his season debut, completing 18-of-25 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while rushing twice […]

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Ty Simpson entered the season with very little redraft value, and he continues to slip down the rankings as the season goes on.
