Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott currently ranks as the QB8 in fantasy football leagues, and is in great position to have another high-volume passing day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. The Bucs, meanwhile, are fresh off a 0-4 start to the season and are missing their starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield (thumb) to […]

Injuries continue to pile up. It has made it tough to navigate for some, but as I said last week, you just have to stay afloat during this stretch. Your team will get healthy, and other teams will get bitten by the injury bug. All you have to do right now is field the best […]

Week 5 of the NFL season kicks off Thursday night as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys. With many high-end fantasy assets in this game, managers will need to make some tough lineup calls at the start of the week. In addition to our start/sit recommendation and matchup ratings […]

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) is throwing again on Wednesday and is expected to be a full participant in practice, according to John Keim of ESPN. It is great timing for the Commanders, as veteran Marcus Mariota (knee) is expected to miss two to three weeks after spraining his MCL in Sunday's loss to […]

There was no sign of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) at the period of practice open to the media on Wednesday, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnanon were the two QBs warming up before the start of practice. Although Jackson has a chance to suit up in Week 5 […]

Today, we'll look at some interesting Week 5 lineup decisions for players like Emanuel Wilson, Ollie Gordon II, Will Shipley, and more -- and how their matchups project for […]

Washington Commanders veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee) will not go on Injured Reserve after spraining his MCL in the Week 4 blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London on Sunday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. It means that the Commanders think Mariota could be back within two to three weeks after he […]

We're heading into a pivotal Week 5 for fantasy football, and most of us are over a quarter of the way through our regular season. We've entered the window where we need to decide if we're disappointed or concerned about well-known players that are underperforming. We can give grace to those we are disappointed in […]

With a month behind us, let's look ahead to preview Week 5 and beyond with an updated rest-of-season rankings sheet. The injuries, star performances, and role changes won't let up, reflecting the famed Smash Mouth lyric, "the [weeks] start coming and they don't stop coming." We will do our best to navigate the currents with […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) has only an outside chance to play Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Ian Rapoport reported that Jackson is dealing with a sprained ankle and could miss multiple games depending on how his rehab progresses. The injury is considered unusual, with Rapoport describing it as neither a traditional high […]

Week 5 has arrived, and the fantasy season is getting interesting. Depending on your league format, you are likely roughly one-third of the way through your regular season. However, there is a lot of football left to be played, and no one can count themselves out just yet, regardless of record. Once we get through […]

Fantasy managers will have to dive deeper into the rankings this week due to tons of Power 4 programs being on byes, and if you need help with start-sit calls, you have come to the right place. Below are our top 400 college fantasy football rankings for Week 6. RotoBaller's Week 6 CFB fantasy rankings […]

The quarterback position always gets the spotlight in college football, and this week brings a new challenge in CFF leagues with key QBs such as Darian Mensah and a bye. Fantasy managers who were relying on those must-start options will have to pivot, and we're here to help with our Week 6 college fantasy football quarterback […]

There is another start coming for Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent, but the opportunity matters a lot more in superflex and two-quarterback leagues. Bagent handled the Jets well enough in Week 4, completing 25 of 34 passes for a career-high 268 yards in a 23-12 win. The fantasy line was much less interesting. He did […]

In his first NFL start, Tampa Bay Buccaneers undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels completed 19 of 27 passes for 148 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions, in the 17-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He also added 55 rushing yards on eight carries, finishing with 11.4 fantasy points in his first career start. With […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley could be set to start in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. In 16 games as a starter, Huntley has completed 272 of 422 passes for 2,511 yards, 10 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, while adding 623 yards and four touchdowns on 121 carries. With star quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) having […]

Hey RotoBallers, now that the first waiver run is complete in most leagues, we are back with more waiver wire advice. Bye weeks are here, with the Chiefs and Panthers off. Several key injuries hit heading into Week 5, including Lamar Jackson, Ja'Marr Chase, Saquon Barkley, DJ Moore, and Ladd McConkey. Below are our updated […]

We're now one month into the fantasy football season, and some trends are revealing themselves. Still, the fantasy football landscape changes in a flash. This could just be the beginning for some of this week's risers and fallers. The players in this weekly article aren't necessarily the week's best and worst performers. Instead, we'll talk […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 5 of the NFL season kicks off in just 48 hours, so it's time to start setting the next round of our lineups. With many injuries and the first set of bye weeks beginning, managers need to be even more careful when constructing their lineups. Below, we will look at one player […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another action-packed NFL slate is in the books, and similar to Week 3, injuries stole most of the headlines. On Sunday, managers saw many high-end players exit early, including Ja'Marr Chase, Saquon Barkley, and Lamar Jackson, which further suggests the importance of stashing high-impact backups. Below, we will look at some sneaky high-upside […]

We are nearly a quarter of the way through the 2026 fantasy football season already, and it still feels like there are more questions than answers when it comes to player values and rest-of-season outlooks. Can we rely on Drake Maye after a QB1 overall finish last week? Which pass-catcher in Chicago is the one […]

Last week, there were a high number of big names who graced this article - Justin Herbert, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., Chris Godwin Jr. - and while it was just one week, none of them have me regretting my decision thus far. Yes, Harrison and Thomas both found the end zone, but neither […]

Week 5 is where fantasy football gets uncomfortable. We’ve got quarterbacks who have been putting up monster numbers but suddenly face nightmare matchups, and others who haven’t exactly lit up the scoreboard but are walking into fantasy-friendly situations. And this week, I’m leaning into the matchups. The biggest trap? Assuming early-season production automatically makes someone […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys meet on Thursday Night Football in a Week 5 matchup between two teams headed in different directions. Tampa Bay is still searching for its first victory after falling to 0-4 with a 17-14 loss to Green Bay, while Dallas improved to 2-2 with a dramatic 34-30 comeback victory […]

Not only did Week 4 throw another avalanche of injuries at us, but we also saw another big FAAB "prize" in Keenan Allen follow in Jonah Coleman's "get injured after FAAB runs" footsteps. Every week brings a new reminder of what truly remains within our control! Even so, we're always ready with several pivots thanks […]

Week 4 was filled with memorable performances across all fantasy positions. However, it also served as a brutal reminder of how quickly injuries can change the outlooks for teams and fantasy managers. Things will get even more complicated in Week 5 now that bye weeks are starting. Only two teams are on bye in Week […]

Five weeks into the college football season, fantasy managers have enough information to start forming strong opinions. That can also create some of the best trade windows of the year, especially when one ugly performance, an injury, or an unsustainable touchdown streak starts carrying too much weight. Caleb Hawkins is getting plenty of work without […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has been relatively underwhelming so far this season, ranking as the QB27 in fantasy scoring with just four touchdowns and seven interceptions. The last two games have been particularly rough, featuring two total touchdowns and five interceptions from the former first-round pick. While the box scores have been pretty ugly, […]

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has yet to eclipse 20 fantasy points in a game this season. But he's elevated the Falcons offense to new heights, and at least enabled the run game to thrive in his presence. He's a huge upgrade from QB Cooper Rush, who started the season while Penix recovered from […]

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has surprisingly been reliable through the first four games of the season. Heading into Week 5, Watson has thrown for 855 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions. He has also rushed for 127 yards on 31 rushing attempts this season. Watson carries a 69.6 percent completion rate into this […]
