Buy Lows & Sell Highs: Todd Gurley, Davante Adams, Brian Hoyer & More

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season. The key is to buy low on cold players and sell overachieving players whose values have skyrocketed. While this is a well-known method, some owners still tend to overreact when a play over- or […]

EPL -Saturday's Preview and Predictions for Round 11

Another week in the English Premier League and as predicted here at http://www.rotoballer.com/, Tim Sherwood has become the latest managerial casualty. We have a full weekend of fixtures in the EPL starting with a super seven of matches this Saturday and the question now is, do we have another managerial change in the offing? Editor’s Note: […]

Buy Lows & Sell Highs: Drew Brees, Davante Adams, Martavis Bryant, Zach Ertz & More

After reviewing Week 7's Buy Low/Sell High list, it's time to look at the best candidates to buy and sell for Week 8. I had a much easier time with the "Buy Low" list than I did the "Sell High" this week. I worry that we're starting to really find out who will be a […]

Week 8 Risers and Fallers: Alfred Blue, Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle & More

Week 7 is in the books, and there are still five undefeated teams left standing in the NFL. Fantasy football managers with a matching 7-0 record are just as boastful, but the fantasy gods are vengeful and do not take kindly to such hubris. Even the teams at the top of the table need to manage […]

Buy Lows & Sell Highs: Carlos Hyde, Jeremy Maclin, T.Y Hilton, Latavius Murray & More

Welcome to our Week 8 buy low / sell high, where we look to provide fantasy football trade advice. The half-way point of most fantasy seasons is a thing of the past, and as the weather gets colder and the playoffs get closer it's time for everyone to make that final push. There's no better […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The meter is rising once again for Teddy Bridgewater, coming off his best start of the year. Emerging rookie wideout Stefon Diggs brings a new dimension to the Vikings' offense, and that benefits their second-year signal caller immensely. The Vikings have […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The Ravens have struggled this year (1-6), even though they have been in position to win almost every game. Joe Flacco hasn't lived up to his clutch reputation and has thrown three picks in drives that could have tied or won the game. But Flacco (61% owned) should still be on fantasy rosters in almost […]

Jose Mourinho Is Now The Worried One

Experts say one week is a long time in football. What about one month? Not sure what the experts say but the beleaguered Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho would probably say it has been a hellish eternity and given Chelsea's season thus far, who could blame him? Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Avoid in all formats OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one has ever questioned Colin Kaepernick's raw talent. He has all the physical tools to succeed, but the consistency simply isn't there this season. He's torn apart the Steelers (335 yards, 2 TDs), Giants (262 yards, 2 TDs) and Ravens (340 yards, 2 TDs), […]

La Liga - A Three Horse Race Again?

For the last three seasons, the Spanish La Liga has seen the same three teams occupy the top three slots – Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. This year it's only taken nine games for the 2015-16 La Liga table to assume an all too familiar looking demeanor. Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Fallers From Week 7

Week 7 is just another page in the history books. Eddie Lacy was on a bye so he couldn't disappoint yet again, but we still had plenty of notable performances that demand context and further investigation. Again, we're not here to talk about how good Julio Jones is or how much Nick Foles stinks. Without further […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Risers From Week 7

Week 7 has come and gone, and now it is time to look back at some players who really saw their stock jump thanks to their performance this past weekend. Some players have just been forgotten about due to a bye, some quiet weeks, or an injury, but here we are to peek in at […]

Premier League Weekend Review - Matchday Ten

Vardy, who has a firm lead in the pursuit of the Golden Boot, scored in his seventh […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had to navigate some pretty treacherous waters recently with most of his crew below deck nursing their respective ailments. Missing Steve Smith hurt Flacco dearly, and then Crockett Gillmore also missed some action and Justin Forsett was playing […]

The Hustle - Week 7 Buy Low/Sell High Review (PPR)

Before I dive into my recap, I'd like to touch on Lamar Miller. One of the first things I wrote in my article last week was to “close this post and ignore it completely." I hope you at least ignored my advice to sell high on Lamar Miller. Before we decide whether or not Miller can […]

The MLS Playoffs Are Imminent - Fasten Your Seat Belts!

Teddy Bridgewater Has Another Easy Matchup Ahead

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Teddy Bridgewater completed 25 of 35 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns against the Lions. He looked comfortabl and was able to extend the play with his mobility. Now, the Vikings get to face the Bears, a team with another easily-penetrable defensive […]

Derek Carr is Carving Through Defenses

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derek Carr came out firing against the Chargers in Week 7, finishing with 24 completions on 31 attempts for 289 yards, three touchdowns and a 77% completion percentage.

Week 8 Deeper Sleepers: Replacing Arian Foster

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. To describe last week's picks in one word... meh. Sure, we hit on Stefon Diggs, but that felt more like a "no duh" pick given how good he looked his first two games. The only […]

Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider as cheap QB option in DFS OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Approach this one with caution. Even if he wasn't nursing a shoulder injury, Cleveland Browns starter Josh McCown would be a dicey proposition against an Arizona Cardinals defense that leads the NFL with 12 interceptions. But if you're feeling a bit […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Overview: Darren McFadden, Stefon Diggs, Orleans Darkwa & More

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Eight The seventh Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Miami finally began playing like the uber-talented team they were projected to be, while the Bills continued to struggle in London. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 7 saw a gruesome season ending injury […]

Week 7 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The most common text I sent this Sunday was “this is by far the ugliest week of football of the year” and I don’t think that’s even up for debate right now. From top to bottom, from Thursday night to Sunday night, nearly every game had some serious flaws. In a weird sort of way, […]
