Buy or Sell? Week 12 Trade Advice

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Nick Mullens Stream-Worthy Against Bucs

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens has an opportunity to firm his grip on the starting gig in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Proving his command of the offense after two starts, Mullens faces a Bucs defense second-worst in defensive DVOA and yards per pass attempt (8.4). The Niners should have a balanced […]

Joe Flacco Misses Fourth Straight Practice

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) did not practice on Wednesday, marking the fourth straight practice that he has not been able to participate. The injury forced the 33-year-old to miss the Ravens' 24-21 Week 11 victory over the Bengals as rookie Lamar Jackson took over the reins of the offense. While Flacco has not […]

Andrew Luck's Elite Production Should Continue Against Miami

There are only so many times one can write about how Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is lighting the fantasy world on fire with three touchdowns in each of his last seven games. As the Colts offense continues to roll, the Miami Dolphins are unlikely to be able to do much to stand in their […]

Steer Clear Of Colt McCoy On Thanksgiving

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy will captain the offense for the foreseeable future in the wake of a season-ending injury suffered by Alex Smith. He'll make his first start of 2018 under some unenviable circumstances: on a short week against one of the NFL's better defensive units, the Dallas Cowboys. Washington's offensive scheme has hardly […]

Cam Newton Decent Option Against Seahawks

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a decent quarterback option this week against the Seattle Seahawks. Newton comes off the back of a game in which he missed some time in the game, but that doesn't explain why he only rushed the ball twice. Newton has thrown multiple touchdowns for nine straight games and will […]

Baker Mayfield Draws Another Plus Matchup

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield comes out of his bye to face a scuffling Cincinnati Bengals pass defense. The Bengals rank 18th in the league in pass defense DVOA and are allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. Mayfield's play has improved since the team fired Todd Haley and installed Freddie […]

Matt Ryan Should Have Success On The Road Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should be able to overcome his issues on the road this season when he squares off against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. Ryan has a quarterback rating nearly 30 points lower, according to Pro Football Focus, when he has played on the road in 2018. However, Ryan has […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 12

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Carson Wentz a Strong Week 12 Option

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong Week 12 option despite his poor performance in Week 11. He'd been excellent every game up until Week 11, so it's fair to throw that poor performance away and give credit to the Saints defense. Wentz had been a top-five fantasy quarterback up until then, and the […]

Dak Prescott Not a Great Option on Thanksgiving

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a great fantasy option for a Week 12 Thanksgiving matchup against Washington. He had an excellent matchup last week and wasn't able to do much, despite a couple of solid weeks beforehand. He's scored a touchdown on the ground in four of the past five games, but he's […]

Aaron Rodgers Faces Tough Matchup In Week 12

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has had a disappointing year by his usual standards. While he has still been an effective fantasy quarterback, he faces a particularly tough matchup in Week 12 when he faces the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings rank 5th in pass defense DVOA according to Football Outsiders. Rodgers threw for 281 […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 12)

At a certain point of every season, it’s time to re-examine what we believed to be true early in the season to see if that is still the case as we head towards the fantasy playoffs. Teams change throughout the season as sometimes injuries cause head coaches’ plans to alter, and in other instances, coaches […]

It's Time to Worry About Matthew Stafford

During draft season, Matthew Stafford was looked at as one of a handful of decent quarterbacks to select if you were waiting at the position. Stafford has long been viewed as being a consistent but unspectacular quarterback, but one that could get the job done. He had been instilled in the offense a number of years, […]

Ben Roethlisberger A Solid Play In Week 12

Despite passing for just 53 yards in the first half, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger rallied to finish as a QB1 in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Week 12, he will go on the road to take on the Denver Broncos in what sets up as another tough matchup. The Broncos have been […]

Thanksgiving Thursday DFS Lineup Picks: FanDuel, DraftKings Daily Fantasy Advice

Thanksgiving is a very dope holiday - food and football is an undefeated combination as far as I'm concerned. Questionable origins in the United States, but if we strip it down to the bare bones, it's a time to, well, give thanks. We're all blessed to be breathing, and even though life may sometimes feel […]

Thanksgiving Thursday Matchups Analysis - Week 12 Starts/Sits

Happy Thanksgiving to all! It was Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks' dominant ground game that carried the day on Thursday Night Football in Week 11. In a rematch of the 2014 NFC Championship, the Seahawks managed to pull out the 27-24 victory in a thriller over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy […]

Matthew Stafford Hard To Trust Against Bears

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for just 220 yards and one touchdown in last week's victory over the Panthers. He now has a short week to prepare to face the the Bears for the second time in three weeks. In the first matchup, Stafford threw for two touchdowns in garbage time, which saved his […]

Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Marty Mornhinweg and the Ravens took an alternative approach to their gameplan this week, and quarterback Lamar Jackson had a stat line that looked more like that of a bell cow running back than a quarterback. He rushed 27 times for 117 yards, while […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oh Dirk Koetter, how about a little decisiveness? A little conviction. No more waffling, no more flip-flopping, no more mid-game quarterback changes. You’re the head coach of an NFL football team for Pete’s sake. Your own team isn’t going anywhere, but at least stop […]

Drew Brees Has Dynamite Thanksgiving Matchup

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is having an MVP-type season with a 76.9% completion percentage, 2,964 yards, 25 touchdowns and only one interception. Brees has 11 touchdown passes over his last three games heading into a Thanksgiving matchup against a porous Falcons defense. Atlanta's defense is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing […]

Mitch Trubisky Questionable For Thursday

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky was a surprise add to the team's injury report on Tuesday and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lions. Trubisky is dealing with a right shoulder injury suffered when Vikings defender Harrison Smith hit the second-year quarterback late on a QB scramble in Week 11. Head coach […]

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The byes are almost done, except that the two teams missing from this week's slate account for half of the starting lineups of the most successful fantasy teams. If anything, this might be a chance for fringe contenders to gain a leg up on their league's powerhouse teams that are missing their Rams and Chiefs. […]

Week 12 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It was another week full of excitement, tragedy, and confusion at the quarterback position. We had some tough injuries, mid-game benchings, and several exciting deep league options at quarterback for Week 12. Only two teams are on bye this week, but they are big ones. No Patrick Mahomes or Jared Goff this week, as both […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 has been quite the show thus far, as all of our fantasy teams can only aspire to be half as successful as the New Orleans Saints, who appear to be executing at will over opponents. Remember when the Buccaneers beat them? Me neither. Anyway, we here at RotoBaller are always looking to get […]

Colt McCoy (QB, WSH) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Smith is done for the season after suffering a gruesome broken leg in Washington’s Week 11 loss to Houston, which leaves Colt McCoy as the Redskins' starter for the rest of the way. Smith already wasn’t producing fantasy numbers before going down, so on the […]

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Tw0-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is still pretty green, as we saw in Week 10 against the Giants, but just about anyone is worthy of consideration against Tampa Bay’s defense. They have allowed at least 20 points in all games except one and […]
