NFL Rookies To Watch In Week 9

Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Hopefully, by […]

#TrendingNow - Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 9

I want to tell you everything I am thinking right now. I want to lay it all on the line and be an open book. It has been eating at me. When the time is right, I’ll tell you everything, but I just can’t yet. Yes, it’s a metaphor, but it’s also a common place […]

Updated Week 9 Standard Rankings (Non-PPR): Top 300

Wow, what a week RotoBallers. If you were to do player rankings every day this week, they would have ended up being completely different. Where do we start - DeShaun Watson, Pierre Garcon, Trevor Siemian and Darren McFadden were all removed from our rankings due to injuries or a change in player personnel. The Ezekiel Elliott saga […]

Updated Week 9 Half PPR Rankings (Top 300)

Below you will find our updated Week 9 Half-PPR rankings for fantasy football. And boy were there plenty of updates needed since our staff ranks were first released.

With six teams on bye again this week, and lots of […]

Week 9 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

Now that we’ve passed the season’s halfway point, it’s much more difficult to come up with names for this list than it was in the early part of the season. The diamonds can only stay camouflaged in the rough for so long. There are still opportunities for players who have yet to contribute significantly to […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 9

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. […]

Disaster Recovery from Week 8 - Studs Turned Duds

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have benched a player for somebody on your bench.

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 9

This was certainly one of the most active NFL trade deadlines in recent memory with some top talent at offensive skill positions being dealt.

Waiver Wire Rankings for Week 9

Wow, what a trade deadline. What started off as a relatively slow week on the waiver wire, is turning into a rather explosive one.

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

There was less football on the whole this weekend, as six teams took a break. We had another ugly London game, a surprise shootout in Seattle and a couple of nail-biters. We also witnessed the continued ascension of some rookies to possible NFL stardom in the form of Deshaun Watson and Juju Smith-Schuster. Things are […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week Nine Lightning Round

It's been a fun week of NFL action, with plenty of high-scoring players that are available in plenty of leagues. There's always an opportunity to add fantasy football risers to your teams, especially with more bye weeks coming. So let's get to it. This is your waiver wire lightning round, looking towards Week 9 waiver […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 9)

As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 9)

As I write this, it is Monday evening and I am trying not to fall asleep after only getting about five hours of sleep last night--and after being awake all of yesterday. I don't miss NFL football unless I have to, so I woke up for the Browns/Vikings London game and watched the first half […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 8 Fantasy Football Picks

Rather than reciting some of my greatest hits and misses from last week (let's just assume they were all hits and move on), I have a commentary on the fantasy football community as a whole. While it goes without saying that we all love football and especially the fantasy aspect of it, I could easily […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 8

There a lot of bye weeks (six!) this week, which means you have a lot more restrictions when building a lineup. I'll try to reflect that in this week's column by digging a little dip deeper on some of the bust picks, looking at some under-the-radar players who should stay under that radar. It's hard […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 8: Floors and Ceilings

It’s crazy to think we are already halfway through the NFL regular season. Now is the start of one of the busiest times of the year for fantasy owners as they ready themselves for championship runs, playoff pushes, or already moving on to 2018. For those of you in the hunt for a playoff spot […]

Week 8 Dynasty Matchup Previews

Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player. Make sure you don’t buy that hot rookie too soon and don’t sell the aging veteran too late. Each week, I […]

Week 8 Dynasty Mailbag: Q&A

The first week of six teams on bye in the NFL not only can mean change for season long teams, but for dynasty rosters as well. Teams that are primed for the playoffs will be adding pieces to ensure their league standing and dynasty teams that have fallen on rough luck will look to plan […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 8

Just because a half-dozen teams have a bye this week does not mean there will be fewer under-the-radar booms and busts. Six teams have the week off, so the pool of boom and bust candidates is a little shallower than usual. My column will not be any shorter, though, fantasy folks. There are still plenty […]

Week 8 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

As badly as my running back picks from last week went (Latavius Murray, really?), I'd like to think my in-depth analysis on Kenny Stills made up for it if you put him in your lineup. With six teams on bye this week, it's more important than ever to sift through the waiver wire and pick […]

Beating The Waiver Wire - Speculative Stashes for Week 9

It's Wednesday morning. You dropped a player last night expecting to make some moves on the waiver wire, only to wake up and find out you weren't able to get anyone you put a claim in for. What now? If you've got an open roster spot, its always a good idea to plan ahead for […]

Say Goodbye to "Your Guys" - Trade to Win in Week 8

Trading is hard. People looooove their guys and love big names. The tendency is for us to evaluate players based on potential over reality. “Wait, you want to trade who for LeSean McCoy? He was the RB4 last year!” “Julio is still a target monster and will finish with eight TD!” Other common responses include […]
