Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. defied the odds and guided his team to a win over the previously undefeated 49ers last week, completing 25 of 34 passes for 213 yards and tallying three touchdown passes for the second week in a row. It also marked the fourth straight contest in which the left-handed quarterback […]

Across six games in 2026, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 67.3% of his pass attempts and thrown for 1,788 yards, 14 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 32-year-old has thrown multiple touchdown passes in five out of his games this season and currently leads the NFL in passing yards per game (298.0). However, Goff […]

For fantasy football managers, drafting a quarterback that ends up being a total bust in fantasy football leagues isn't the end of the world. That's because the position often has excellent producers sitting on the waiver wire for extended periods of time. Even if you're not able to get a sure-fire every-week starter at QB […]

After struggling to start his 2026 season, quarterback Daniel Jones has not been discussed as a potential bench candidate by the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Pelissero notes that Jones is still recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 14 of last season, and that a depleted weapons group is another […]

Easily the most fun thing to do when writing about sports is to make some wild predictions about what could happen in the upcoming week in fantasy football. Of course, most of them don't end up happening. But in the process of pontificating who might strike fantasy football gold in one week and which players […]

Hey RotoBallers! The main Week 8 slate is just 24 hours away, so it's almost time to set our final lineups. However, injuries to key players like Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, and DeVonta Smith may force managers to dig deeper to fill their lineups. Fortunately, the updated PPR rankings below for all positions will assist […]

The trade market is getting hot! The likes of Quenton Nelson and Jeffery Simmons are now on new teams, and things are likely to get even crazier. As for action on the field, Thursday Night Football saw the Packers beat the Panthers to prove just how far ahead the NFC North is compared to the […]

Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 8. This week, we've got four teams on bye (Texans, Saints, Giants, and 49ers). Last week wasn't great for this column, but we learn, move forward, and try to crush the next week. All four of our starts (Tyler Allgeier, Michael Mayer, Tyler Higbee, and Keenan Allen) scored in […]

Happy Halloween! October will be in the books, and we are already more than halfway through the fantasy football regular season. While most waivers have already run, fantasy managers should scout the waiver wire to bolster their roster by taking a chance on a high-upside player or an injury stash. At RotoBaller HQ, we have […]

Last week, we had another nice +230 win with the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons SGP. There was also another SGP that finished 1 yard short, since Matthew Golden only had 39 yards compared to the 40 yards we needed. I'm not going to be tilted about it. It's a long season, and we'll... […]

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis helped his team get their first win of the season last week, and he had his best fantasy game of the season as well. Willis threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns while running for 37 yards and a third score in the Jets' 28-25 win. He also had a […]

The weekend is here, and at RotoBaller HQ, we are back with updated fantasy football rankings. The bye-week crunch hit hard again in Week 8, with the 49ers, Giants, Texans, and Saints on bye. Managers will be without Brock Purdy, C.J. Stroud, Tyler Shough, and even J.J. McCarthy. If you are looking for a streamer […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is probably best left on the benches outside of deep superflex leagues for Week 8. He's not even a top-24 QB in fantasy football this season despite not having had his bye week yet. With five total touchdowns and 10 turnovers on the season, he's arguably been a detriment to […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott should not be left out of starting lineups in any fantasy football leagues in Week 8. He gets a home matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, who are simply a bad team with a bad defense that's been torn to shreds by opposing quarterbacks this season. If you simply started the […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett's fantasy performance in 2026 has been inconsistent, but he will be a good streaming option in Week 8. Last week was another good showing, going 27-for-48 for 272 yards and one touchdown against the Broncos. The prolific passer has now put up 35 pass attempts or more in six of […]

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is fresh off the team's Week 7 bye and faces an enticing Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.

Seven weeks into the 2026 NFL season, fantasy managers are beginning to learn which players they can trust and which ones we expect to have up-and-down performances.

We're nearly at the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season.
