Easton Stick Scores On The Ground In Week 16

Jake Browning Tosses Three Picks Versus Pittsburgh

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning finished Saturday's loss to the Steelers by throwing for 335 yards and a touchdown off 28-for-42 passing. The signal-caller did some things well in Week 16. However, Browning also made some critical mistakes, including tossing three interceptions. In all fairness, the Steelers defense had one of its best games of […]

Bailey Zappe Tough To Trust Versus Denver

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe is difficult to trust in most fantasy leagues ahead of Week 16 versus the Denver Broncos. Although the Broncos surrendered five passing touchdowns last week, that was against Jared Goff. Zappe represents a much softer opponent for Denver, and the young quarterback could struggle against a secondary anchored by […]

Will Levis Unlikely To Start In Week 16

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (ankle) is unlikely to start in the Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. There's a chance he could be active but is expected to head to the bench for Sunday's contest. The rookie quarterback suffered an ankle injury during last week's loss to the Houston Texans. He missed most […]

Mason Rudolph Leads Steelers To Victory In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 17 of his 27 pass attempts for 290 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in a 34-11 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He added four rushing yards on two carries. Rudolph was sharp but aggressive on Saturday and frequently took shots down the field. The 28-year-old connected with George […]

Lamar Jackson Firmly In The QB1 Conversation Against 49ers

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is the QB5 on the season so far and has put up a fantastic 19.5 fantasy points per game. He's been more of a dark horse in the MVP conversation and has the chance to cement his name in that discussion going up against the number-one team in the NFC. […]

Trevor Lawrence Projects As A Top 10 QB If Able To Go

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence cleared the NFL's concussion protocol on Friday and will travel with the team to Tampa Bay.

"Hey, look at us. Who would've thought?" Yes, you've made it to the fantasy football semifinals. Who would've thought? Maybe it's the team at RotoBaller to thank for your success.

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 16: Jordan Love, Jerome Ford, and Terry McLaurin

Trevor Lawrence Clears Concussion Protocol

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, ankle) has cleared concussion protocol and will travel with the team to Tampa Bay. It's worth noting that he is still listed as questionable and will presumably test his ankle pregame before the team makes a decision on his status. Lawrence's talent and surrounding weapons normally put him in […]

Tua Tagovailoa Is Hard To Trust Against Cowboys

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hasn't exactly been the poster boy for consistency when it comes to fantasy performances this season. Seemingly, every big outing is followed by a dud although he's been playing well enough for the Dolphins to sit at the top of the AFC East at 10-4. Since Week 8, Tagovailoa hasn't […]

Bryce Young A QB3 In Week 16

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has now failed to throw a touchdown pass in four straight games and has just nine touchdown passes on the season.
