Justin Herbert A QB1 Against Atlanta

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will return from a Week 8 bye to face off against the Atlanta Falcons. The Chargers will be without wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle), but the tandem of Austin Ekeler, Gerald Everett, and Joshua Palmer should be enough for Herbert to get the job done […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 9 - Marcus Mariota, Tyler Allgeier and Terrace Marshall Jr.

After a brutal Week 7 that stole many weekly fantasy contributors from our lineup, Week 8 was much more kind. There were some injury scares, but we escaped in relatively good shape. Hopefully, that holds up moving forward. Even without the injuries, Week 9 is already taking away plenty of our usual starters.  There are […]

Marcus Mariota A Midrange QB2 Against Los Angeles

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota is coming off his best game of the season. The veteran quarterback had a season-high 253 passing yards and three touchdowns last week against the Carolina Panthers. It was also the second time over the past three weeks that Mariota scored 22 or more fantasy points. More importantly, he has […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Excel Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be considered a high-end QB1 play in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans currently rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed, giving up 254 per game. Mahomes has thrown for over 300 yards in each of the last two games and will have a […]

Kyler Murray A Mid-Range QB1 Versus Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will look to get the Cardinals back in the win column after throwing three touchdowns in their Week 8 loss. Murray draws a juicy matchup against an exploitable Seahawks defense, who have allowed the ninth-most passing yards this season. The dual-threat struggled with two turnovers and no passing touchdowns in […]

NFL DFS Lineup Sleepers for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 9 Value Picks Include Justin Fields, Kenneth Walker III, Christian Kirk, Robert Tonyan

We've reached the Armageddon of NFL bye weeks here in Week 9 with the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers all not playing this week. Why the NFL has decided to have two teams on a bye some weeks and six in others makes no sense, […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Against Commanders

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to build on a solid performance from Week 8 as he will lead his offense against the Commanders in Week 9. Cousins is coming off a 254-yard, three-total touchdown performance, as he has cemented himself as a weekly QB1 option, which has been a fairly thin position so […]

Jared Goff Has High Ceiling, Low Floor Against Packers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is a boom-or-bust play against a league-average Green Bay Packers defense. The Lions' offense is statistically one of the best units in the NFL, but Goff's floor has proven to be low in the matchups against the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys. However, those are two of the top […]

Malik Willis Could Get Second Career Start

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis could be in line for his second career start against the Kansas City Chiefs as Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is a true game-time decision for Week 9. Willis passed for just 55 yards and an interception on 10 passing attempts against Houston, and if he starts this week, he'll likely have […]

Ryan Tannehill To Be Game-Time Decision For Sunday Night

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tannehill logged limited practices before missing practice on Thursday, so his availability figures to be about a 50/50 shot in a big AFC primetime matchup. Kansas City has allowed the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, […]

Aaron Rodgers A Strong Streaming Option

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) will travel to Detroit to face the Lions this Sunday. He is on track to play despite his limited practice participation, as he has followed the same practice pattern over the past few weeks. The reigning MVP has had a rough fantasy season thus far and is currently […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 9 (Friday Updates): Michael Thomas, Rashod Bateman, Chuba Hubbard, James Conner

There are six teams on a bye, so the pool of players on the fantasy radar hasn't been larger this season. When you add in injuries, there are a ton of key start-or-sit decisions at the halfway point of the NFL season. Our injury updates and reports for Week 9 as of Friday, November 4th, […]

Josh Allen Remains A Top-Tier Option For Week 9

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has once again been one of the best QBs this season. Fantasy managers who took a risk taking Allen early on draft day are certainly getting rewarded. He has thrown for at least 297 yards with two touchdowns in every game, but two this season. However, he does get a […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 9 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include

Can you believe we are already at Week 9? Well, believe it or not, we are.

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Welcome to Week 9, Rotoballers! This season, the DFS Value Plays will look at the word "value" from all angles. Usually, it implies a player that won't cost you much of your salary on DraftKings or FanDuel. However, if I see a quarterback, running […]

Davis Mills Throws Pair Of Touchdowns On Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 13-for-22 for 154 yards in Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He had a pair of touchdown passes, but was also picked twice. Mills added an additional 18 yards with his legs. Considering the defense that Houston was facing and the lack of available receiving options, it was a […]

Matthew Stafford Faces No. 6 Pass Defense

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has a tough matchup in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs defense is allowing the sixth-fewest passing yards per game and the tenth-fewest touchdowns per game. Stafford has struggled against top 10 scoring defenses, averaging 247 yards per game and posting a 3/5 TD/INT ratio in […]

Joe Burrow Aiming To Get Bengals Back Into The Win Column

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is aiming to get his team back into the win column on Sunday versus the Panthers. The Bengals got slaughtered in Week 8, losing to Cleveland during the Monday night AFC North showdown. Burrow played relatively well, all things considered, finishing with 262 yards, two touchdowns, and a pick while […]

Jalen Hurts Throws Two Touchdowns In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 21-of-27 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns, adding nine carries for 23 yards during the team's 29-17 victory over the Houston Texans. He also lost a fumble on a blindside shot he took early in the game. The third-year quarterback has thrown eight total touchdowns over the Eagles' […]

NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Eagles vs Texans TNF Showdown

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We're back at it again with some Week 9 Thursday Night Football DFS lineups. We had a relatively ugly Thursday night game last week, as the Ravens took care of business against Tom Brady and the Bucs. While that was a relatively close game that came down to the wire, I can't […]

Derrick Henry, Ryan Tannehill Miss Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) did not take part in Thursday's practice. Per ESPN's Turron Davenport, Henry's absence was rest-related after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Henry's foot isn't expected to be an issue heading into Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, […]

CFB DFS Rankings - Daily Fantasy College Football Rankings for Week 10 (Saturday 11/5)

Unlike pro sports and DFS, college football DFS can turn into the wild wild west from week to week. Injuries to players and weekly match-ups wildly change the value and production of players. That certainly appears to be the case this week as we have some less than elite players in elite spots, while also […]

Each week I’ll give you my thoughts on where there may be some value spots to […]

Zach Wilson Not A Recommended Option In Week 9

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Wilson had his first 300-yard passing game in Week 8 as the Jets went much more pass heavy after losing running back Breece Hall (knee) for the season. Still, Wilson made too many mistakes […]

Tyron Smith Still A Ways From A Possible Return

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that left tackle Tyron Smith (knee, hamstring) is around three to four weeks away from starting his 21-day window to practice with the team. However, Jones is also cautious that could change. The 31-year-old has been on Injured Reserve since Aug. 31 after having surgery on his […]

Sam Ehlinger Faces Tough Test In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger took over for veteran Matt Ryan as the Colts' starting quarterback in Week 9, throwing for 201 scoreless yards en route to a loss. This week, Ehlinger's new life as a starting quarterback won't get any easier, as he takes on the New England Patriots stout defense. Head coach Bill […]
