Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson, Sam Bradford - Week 4 Fantasy Studs

Aside from Devonta Freeman, there were a few other players who put up big points in Week 4 for fantasy football owners. Let's take a look at the top performers, assuming PPR formats and six-point touchdown scoring. Philip Rivers had a great game, completing 23-of-38 pass attempts for 358 passing yards and three touchdowns. That […]

Is Drew Brees Really Back For Fantasy Owners?

It was great site to see. After missing the Week 3 game against the Panthers, Drew Brees made his triumphant return in Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He completed 33-of-44 pass attempts, good for an 80.5% completion rate, to go along with 359 passing yards and two touchdowns. Not too shabby, and also good […]

Andrew Luck Expected To Play On Thursday

After missing the Week 4 game against the the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Colts are planning for Andrew Luck to make his return to the lineup on Thursday night against the Houston Texans. It's not guaranteed that he will play as of yet - but in general this is good news for both the Colts and […]

La Liga - The Season So Far

La Liga heads into the International break after seven rounds of matches and, although it is too early to come to any definitive conclusions, there is enough evidence so far to get a glimpse into how the Spanish season is evolving. Here is a concise recap of the more significant events from the first seven […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Alex Smith, Blake Bortles, Michael Vick

Last week I was 2 for 3 in streaming picks. Derek Carr was the one disappointment and I know just about everybody expected more from him. Still, he didn't kill you with 200 yards and 2 touchdowns to 1 interception. Both Alex Smith and Blake Bortles delivered good fantasy performances and if you rolled with […]

Saints Put Cowboys Away in Overtime

People were still rattling off comical tweets and hilarious gifs of kickers failing after Saints' kicker Zach Hocker hit the left upright on a 30 yard field goal attempt in the waning moments of the fourth quarter game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The referee may also have still been explaining the […]

Tyrod Taylor Looks to Stay Hot - Is a Must Start in Week 4

Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been a top scoring fantasy option the past two weeks and hopes to continue playing well against the New York Giants at home. Taylor threw for 277 yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions last week against the Miami Dolphins. The Giants are giving up 335 passing yards a game […]

Andrew Luck To Sit, Matt Hasselbeck a Deep Fantasy Option?

Colts starting quarterback Andrew Luck is officially listed a questionable for Sunday, but according to Chris Mortensen on Twitter, he's expected to sit out the week four contest against the Jacksonvile Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week but the pain is said to be the main issue with his throwing shoulder. Indy looks to […]

My Top 10 Potential Busts for Week 4

Listen, not every column can be sunshine and rainbows.  We can tell you all about how Julio Jones will score 30 points because he's Julio Jones and of course he will.  Sometimes, you just have to face the grim reality that the players you drafted aren't as good as you thought they'd be (for me, […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 4)

After a miserable week 2, I bounced back going four for four in my picks this past week. All the big favorites won, with a couple small underdogs winning on the road. This the first week of the NFL season where BYEs start coming into play, with New England and Tennessee getting the week off. […]

Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Cam Newton, QB, Panthers Seven total touchdowns against just two turnovers has Cam Newton looking like an early MVP candidate. While the Buccaneers have tightened up their passing defense over the last two weeks, Marcus Mariota’s Week 1 explosion against Tampa Bay still has me convinced that their passing defense is suspect. Newton has produced big […]

Ryan Tannehill, Eli Manning - Week 4 QB Lineup Busts

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins It’s hard to have faith in anyone on the massively disappointing Dolphins offense. Ryan Tannehill has turned the ball over four times already and has only scored in the 20s once this season. With this game being in London and the Jets defense holding fantasy QBs to an average of 9.2 […]

Five Players Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 4

Between the injury bug and a slew of under-performing stars, the first three weeks of the NFL season have been rather troublesome. This week’s warning signals piece is going to focus largely on players we’ve talked about already and whether or not it’s officially time to panic. There are also a few new names on […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 4: The Early Games

Your team is beginning to take shape after Week 3, as are your postseason hopes. Your success during the first four weeks of fantasy season are often determined by the strength of your draft, your luck with injuries and your fortunes on the waiver wire. Another important factor is picking the right player to start […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Derek Carr may very well be more owned than this column should see, but I'm banking on people chasing the marquee names, especially after Aaron Rodgers' crazy Monday night and the tier of Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Carson Palmer, and even Andy Dalton, drawing a lot of attention. There was a lot of hullabaloo regarding […]

Sam Bradford (QB, PHI) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

When will I ever learn? Well, when the heck will the Eagles learn how to be a cohesive unit? Oh, they play Washington this weekend? Okay. Weather concerns are real, and that's giving me some trepidation about the game in general, not for fear that the game is cancelled (you would have ample heads up), […]

Week 4 Deeper Sleepers: Speculating Green Bay Touches and Bye-Week Fillers

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. The Buffalo Bills are going to be hot commodities (Tyrod Taylor (43%), Karlos Williams (31%) and Charles Clay (33%)) on the waiver wire, but they are too heavily owned for this segment. Plus, if you've been following along, you […]

The Daily Divide: Week Four DFS

Daily Divide: Week Four Matt and Nathan each offer Week 4 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Matt probably makes more good points than Nathan though, over the long haul, […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Week 4 Lineup Busts?

I thought I was getting out of here without one more crack at my oh so disappointing lineup, didn't I? Oh no, me, I don't get off that easy! That was very confusing. I apologize. Anyways, Luck shows up on this list because the Colts have been exceedingly lackluster this season - and while it's always […]

Peyton Manning (QB, DEN) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Surprise! There's a QB who's been even bustier than Andrew Luck this season - I just now realized that was a terrible way to phrase that and good luck getting THAT mental image out of your head. Peyton "Fivehead" Manning and Andrew "Secretly a Cave Troll" Luck in a wet T-shirt contest. Ugh. Uuuuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhh. Turns out […]

Carson Palmer (QB, ARI) - Week 4 Lineups Busts?

Palmer has played as many hoped he would following last year's torn ACL. The Cardinals passing game has fired on all cylinders this season, and Larry Fitzgerald has risen like a Phoenix (alright, I admit it, the pun was intended). But with all that being said, Arizona has beat up on some pretty bad defenses […]

Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Rivers has come back to Earth after throwing for 404 yards and two touchdowns in his first game of the season against the Lions. Road games against solid defenses in Cincinnati and Minnesota will do that.  But this week the Chargers host the Browns, who just allowed more than 300 yards in the air at […]

Week 4 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

We're back in the mines for Week 4 after an absolutely insane Week 3. Almost every stud and touted mid-range pick went off. I had friends texting me about how their safer cash game lineups would've won tournaments. The DraftKings Milly Maker winner had 301 points. Breathe. I should say that if you haven't yet, go […]

Drew Brees Probable for Sunday, Bench Him?

Drew Brees is officially listed as probable to play on Sunday in the New Orleans Saints Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Dealing with a shoulder injury, Brees missed last week's game against the Carolina Panthers but is likely to return this week as the Saints are in desperation mode looking […]

Will Tyrod Taylor Keep Up His Top Ten Rank in 2015?

In his first game as starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, Tyrod Taylor finished as QB13 in fantasy. He finished as a top five fantasy QB in Weeks Two and Three. Cumulatively, Taylor is currently fantasy’s QB5. The former sixth round wide receiver convert has a 98th percentile SPARQ score has sparked the interest of many […]
