Anthony Castonzo Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, which is sure to change the way that the offense operates. It's likely that Quenton Nelson moves over again to protect quarterback Philip Rivers' blindside, although how reticent that will make head coach Frank Reich in dialing up […]

Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Cleared For Saturday’s Contest

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) and kicker Matt Prater (back) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers by virtue of their absence from the inactive list. Stafford has continued to play through myriad injuries, which makes him something of an unknown from a fantasy […]

Jacksonville Names Mike Glennon Starting QB For Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon is returning to the starting gig for Week 16 against Chicago, taking over for Gardner Minshew II. Glennon re-enters the starting lineup in a difficult fantasy spot, one that is likely more fantasy relevant for fantasy managers with eyes on the Bears Defense. While Glennon looked solid in his first […]

Derek Carr A Low-End QB2 Versus Dolphins

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr does not carry an injury designation heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins, so all signs point to him being the starter. Carr has been playing well this season, but he probably is not the best fantasy option against a stingy Dolphins Defense. The Dolphins defense has […]

New York Tabs Daniel Jones As Starter For Week 16

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) has been given the green light to play in Sunday's contest against the Ravens. Jones re-enters the starting lineup after seeing Colt McCoy hold down starter's duties in two of the previous three games. It sounds as if Jones is far from 100 percent, but his practice […]

Alex Smith Trending Towards Playing Despite Questionable Tag

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was listed as questionable on the team's final injury report, but was able to participate in practice on Friday and is trending towards suiting up against Carolina. Smith missed last week's loss with a calf injury but was playing well before that leading the team to four-straight victories […]

Matt Ryan A QB2 In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a QB2 this week against the Chiefs. Last week, the QB posted 356 yards and three touchdowns and has at least 220 yards passing in the last three games. This contest with the Chiefs could be a shootout, so Ryan is a fine QB2 against a team that is […]

The Value of Tanking - How Much Does the Top Pick Matter?

With all the talk around the Jets winning over the Rams and the Jaguars jumping over them in the draft, it is a good time to actually see if tanking really works. Everyone has a different opinion. Not just on whether it works, but whether you even want your team to do it at all. […]

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact.

Drew Brees Throws For 311 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 19-for-26 for 311 yards and two picks in Friday's win over the Vikings. In two games since returning from injury, Brees has tossed for at least 234 yards in both contests but it's also worth noting he has three interceptions as well in that span. In the season […]

Kirk Cousins Posts Excellent Line In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 26-of-39 passes for 283 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the Vikings 52-33 loss to the Saints on Christmas Day. The Vikings will not be heading to the playoffs but Cousins has now thrown for over 30 touchdowns in a season for the second time in his career. […]

Tua Tagovailoa A Possible Streaming Choice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa came back down to Earth last week, but managed the game well enough to pull off the victory. However, Tagovailoa should have more fantasy value versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. A defense that has allowed multiple touchdown passes in five straight games. Although, it should be noted […]

Signs Pointing To Derek Carr Starting Against Dolphins

All signs are pointing toward Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) making the start in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday after he didn't show up on the team's final injury report on Thursday. However, head coach Jon Gruden said that he's "not going to let the cat out of the bag" regarding […]

Friday Football Matchups Analysis: Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints

Not only have we made it to the end of the fantasy football season, but we have also made it to the end of 2020. Although fantasy football can feel like a full-time job, it is always important to recognize what really matters - family, friends, and your own personal well being. It has been […]

Tonight, we have another shot with the New Orleans Saints playing host to the Minnesota Vikings. On MKF, there are no massive tournaments where you have […]

Derek Carr Hasn't Been Named The Starter

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is "optimistic" that quarterback Derek Carr (groin) will be active in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday, but Gruden wouldn't name the starting QB against Miami. Carr suffered a strained groin last Thursday and was removed from the final Week 16 injury report, but backup Marcus Mariota […]

Derek Carr Good To Go For Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) was not listed on the team's final injury report on Thursday for Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday night. This comes as a pretty big surprise after Carr suffered a significant groin strain in last Thursday's loss to the Chargers. He was expected to miss time, but […]

Justin Herbert Will Be A QB2 In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert will look to continue his impressive debut campaign with a matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 16. The Broncos Defense has been a solid unit and is allowing just 245 yards through the air and a just over a touchdown per game to signal callers. Despite those […]

Russell Wilson Could Struggle In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been a great player for fantasy managers for much of the year, but that is far from the case in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. He has been underwhelming for the last six weeks, and the Rams Defense gave him a hard time in their first meeting. He […]

Patrick Mahomes Has A Juicy Matchup In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will look to continue his fantastic season in Week 16 versus the Atlanta Falcons. Mahomes is a top quarterback play every week, but Week 16 offers an enticing matchup against a Falcons Defense that is allowing just over 300 yards through the air and two touchdowns a game. Mahomes […]

Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Questionable For Saturday

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb), kicker Matt Prater (back) and center Frank Ragnow (throat) are all questionable for Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday. All three players were limited in practice on Friday. Stafford was limited all week and should continue to play through the pain. He hasn't missed a single start […]

Teddy Bridgewater Off The Streaming Radar In Week 16

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater faces a difficult matchup in Week 16 against the Washington Football Team. Bridgewater has failed to throw a touchdown pass in each of his last two games, though he's salvaged some value by finding the end zone with his legs four times in the last five contests. Still, Washington has […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Fantastic Week 16 Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is playing some of the best football of his career heading into the team's Week 16 matchup against the Titans. Rodgers owns a sparkling 118 QB rating with 40 touchdowns to only four interceptions on the season. The veteran will face a Titans Defense this weekend that is allowing […]

Alex Smith Trending In The Wrong Direction?

The sense from the Washington Football Team this week has been that it would be challenging for quarterback Alex Smith (calf) to return from his calf injury in Week 16 against the Panthers. As of Thursday, Dwayne Haskins Jr. is taking the starting repetitions at practice and is tracking to start on Sunday against Carolina. […]

Deshaun Watson A Strong Play In Week 16

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will take on the Bengals' 20th-ranked pass defense in Week 16. Cincinnati has been more of a run-funnel defense, as they rank 26th against the ground game, though this is still an exploitable matchup by air or by land. Watson has thrown for at least 250 passing yards and two […]
