Atlanta Falcons quarterback Cooper Rush (back) experienced back spasms on Saturday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. With Falcons quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) both ruled out for Week 1, Rush is in line to start the team's season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Schefter reports that Atlanta still expects Rush […]

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was listed on the injury report this week with the same ACL injury that he has been rehabbing this offseason, but he was a full participant in practice all week. Mahomes is now off the injury report and ready to begin his 2026 season against the Denver Broncos on […]

The 2026 NFL season has arrived, and Week 1 offers a full slate of opportunities in the touchdown market. Rather than chasing the shortest prices, we're focusing on players whose roles, matchup, and usage create value at the number. As always, the key with volatile markets like touchdown props is price sensitivity. A player can […]

The 2026 NFL season hasn't fully started yet -- we've had two games so far, but the first full Sunday slate of contests is yet to come. While there isn't any room on your roster after the draft if you drafted healthy players, if you drafted any that are on IR, you immediately have extra spots to […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is one of the more interesting streaming options for Week 1 against Detroit. He settled in after taking over last season, throwing for 2,256 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions across nine starts. The finish was especially encouraging. Over his final five games, Shough threw for 1,316 yards and […]

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will make his first regular-season start in nearly two years when the Browns visit Jacksonville on Sunday. There is not much reason for fantasy managers to take the same chance. Watson missed all of 2025 after undergoing a second surgery on his right Achilles, then had an uneven preseason after […]

The first Sunday Night Football matchup of the 2026 NFL season pits two longtime rivals, the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, against each other. With several viable fantasy stars in this matchup, let's lock in your lineups with our Week 1 SNF start-sit chart. In addition to our start/sit recommendation and matchup ratings […]

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Cooper Rush will get the starting nod on Sunday against the Steelers with Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) both ruled out. Rush will have a full complement of offensive weapons at his disposal, including stars Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts Sr., but a road matchup against the […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was one of the best draft picks to be made in two-QB and superflex leagues with six-point passing touchdown scoring rules in 2026. He's a highly productive, accurate QB in a very well-designed offense with arguably the best array of pass-catching weapons in the NFL. Wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and […]

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith begins his second stint with the franchise in Sunday's road opener against Tennessee. Smith is coming off a rough 2025 season with Las Vegas, where he threw for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions in 15 starts while taking 55 sacks. New offensive coordinator Frank Reich and a […]

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart opens his second NFL season in primetime as the Giants face the Dallas Cowboys. In 12 starts last season, Dart completed 216 of 339 passes for 2,272 yards, with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also added 86 carries for 487 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging over 20 fantasy […]

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen opens 2026 as RotoBaller's QB3 after another season built on elite dual-threat production. Allen threw for 3,668 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2025 while adding 579 rushing yards and 14 scores. Houston presents an immediate challenge. The Texans recorded 47 sacks last season and dropped Allen eight times in November's […]

Football is back. Finally, the long wait is over, and we were treated to two games before the main Week 1 slate. The Patriots failed to get their revenge on the Seahawks, while the 49ers shocked everyone by handing the juggernaut Rams a convincing defeat in Australia. But now, it's time for the rest of […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence enters his Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns as a high-upside fantasy option. The Browns defense was good last year, but no longer has superstar lineman Myles Garrett, so the unit should be more vulnerable this season. That means Lawrence has a great opportunity to start strong in year […]

Across 17 games in 2025, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 68.0% of his pass attempts for 4,564 yards, 34 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Goff has consistently led potent Lions' passing attacks in recent years, recording three consecutive seasons with at least 4,500 passing yards and 30 touchdown passes. Entering 2026, Detroit has once again […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is returning to helm the team's offense after signing a one-year, $15.5 million contract in the offseason. Brissett succeeded Kyler Murray as Arizona's starting quarterback after Murray's season was ended by a severe foot sprain in Week 5. In 12 starts, Brissett threw for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight […]

The 2026 NFL season is finally here, so it's time to kick off my weekly bold predictions column. This is where I'm trying to predict which players will hit their ceilings this week. I'll focus on players who are on the fringe of start-and-sit decisions so that it's more actionable for you. On this page, […]

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward had an up-and-down season as a rookie in 2025, completing 59.8% of his pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Entering 2026, the 24-year-old remains the unquestioned QB1 in Tennessee and should have a better supporting cast around him after the Titans added rookie Carnell Tate and […]

Even after just one 2026 NFL game, we were given the sobering reminder that any player can bust in a given fantasy football game. Those who rostered players like A.J. Brown, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Drake Maye now wear the lineup scars of playing their studs in the season's opening game. This year's weekly bust list […]

We are back! In an ideal world, you would start your starting lineup exactly as you drafted it. There are probably many cases that are doing exactly that. However, not all of us are that lucky. If you drafted Brock Bowers, TreVeyon Henderson, or anyone else who may potentially miss time, you know you need […]

Week 1 of fantasy football is finally upon us. Months of buildup, research, and agonizing over draft decisions will play out from Wednesday to Monday. These first few weeks in fantasy football are important. Getting a fast start can mean the difference between playing catch-up or coasting to the playoffs. While important, these first few […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the second edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. Our first edition was a "post-draft" edition, but with the NFL season underway (albeit just two games in), let's take another scan of the waiver wire ahead of the first full slate of the season. For this weekly column, we will spotlight […]

Early-week openers remind us that fantasy football doesn’t care who you thought was starting. Sam Darnold lasted one drive, Drew Lock came in, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba still put up 11 targets, 122 yards, and a 45-yard touchdown. That’s not a fluke—that’s volume showing up in real time. The Rams and 49ers travel to Melbourne in […]
