Russell Wilson Preps For Another Huge Showdown

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is looking down the barrel at another huge game against his biggest division rival. Wilson and the Seahawks will host the 49ers in Seattle on Sunday night in a game that could determine the division winner. The division crown is on the line, playoff seeding is on the line, a […]

Philip Rivers May Be Playing His Final Game For The Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is facing a precipice on Sunday when he suits up against the Chiefs. It may be his final game as the quarterback of the Chargers. Rivers is coming to the end of a possibly Hall of Fame-worthy career, but with no contract tying him down for next year and […]

Deshaun Watson Is Risky Week 17 Play

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson's Week 17 outlook is impossibly tough to figure out, as the Texans essentially won't know if they need to play their starters until just before their afternoon kickoff on Sunday against the Titans. A Chiefs win in the early window would give Houston nothing to play for, which could mean […]

Doug Marrone Will Be Fired After Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone has been informed that he will be dismissed following the Week 17 season finale against the Colts, according to sources. This doesn't come as a huge surprise with the Jaguars sitting at 5-10 and in last place in the AFC South with one game remaining in the season. Marrone […]

Bengals Sign Trey Hopkins To Extension

The Cincinnati Bengals signed center Trey Hopkins to a three-year, $20.4 million extension on Saturday, according to a source. Hopkins will receive $4.5 million in a guaranteed roster bonus and will make $8.95 million in 2020 and $14.4 million after Year 2. Hopkins was a steady presence for a Bengals offensive line that was extremely […]

Sean Mannion To Draw Spot Start

Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Sean Mannion will start in Week 17's finale versus the Chicago Bears at home. Mannion, a fifth-year career-backup type passer, doesn't offer much upside as a cheap option in daily fantasy formats. He has completed just 62.3% of his 53 career pass attempts at just 4.9 yards per attempt. To make […]

Sean Mannion To Get Start Sunday

With Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins in line to rest up for the playoffs in Week 17 against the Bears, a source said on Friday that backup Sean Mannion is expected to start against Chicago. The Vikings are locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC, so they have nothing to gain by playing […]

Inside the Tent - Week 17 NFL Injury Insight

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. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Jared Goff A Super-Risky Play

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff looks like a good play on paper this week, but there is no guarantee he plays the whole game. The team has been eliminated from playoff contention, and there's very little reason to risk their franchise quarterback unless they want him to surpass last year's career high in passing […]

Eli Manning Likely To Retire

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will likely retire at the end of this season rather than hold the clipboard again for Daniel Jones. If Manning wants to continue playing, he'll have to do so with another team in 2020, as he's set to become a free agent after this season. If this is indeed […]

Jameis Winston Questionable For Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (knee, thumb) practiced in full the last two days but is questionable for Week 17 against the Falcons. Winston has played the last two weeks with a fractured thumb, and he should do so again to end the 2019 regular season. Atlanta's defense has improved in the second half […]

Drew Brees Will Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Panthers. New Orleans can still get the top overall seed and home-field advantage in the NFC with a win and a 49ers loss this weekend, so they'll be playing their starters. […]

Dak Prescott Not On Final Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Redskins. Prescott was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll play in this must-win contest against Washington. While he probably won't be at 100 percent on […]

Julian Edelman Questionable Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is questionable for Week 17 against the Dolphins. The Patriots must win to keep a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs, so it'd be a huge surprise if Edelman didn't suit up on Sunday. He's been held in check the last two weeks by the Bengals […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Deshaun Watson, Kenny Stills Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (illness) and Kenny Stills (knee) and quarterback Deshaun Watson (back) are all listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Titans. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) is also questionable. With little to play for in the regular season finale, it's possible all of them could be inactive or limited […]

David Blough Not A Recommended Week 17 Start

Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough completed only 50% of his pass attempts in Week 16, and has seen his production steadily drop in each game since he took over for Jeff Driskel (hamstring). Things won't get any easier for Blough in Week 17 with the Green Bay Packers coming to town. Matthew Stafford passed for […]

Week 17 Watch List: Fantasy Football Auditions for 2020?

If you're lucky enough to play in a reasonable league that does not schedule its championship during Week 17, then you obviously don't have to worry about players' fantasy impact for the rest of this year. However, you should now be in advanced scouting mode. This is especially true if you are a dynasty or […]

Kyler Murray A Game-Time Decision Against Rams

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) will be a game-time decision in Week 17 against the Rams. With the Cardinals game one of just three contests with a late-afternoon start this Sunday, Murray becomes an even riskier QB2 for Week 17 fantasy matchups. Los Angeles could be resting […]

Jimmy Garoppolo And Niners Playing For NFC Crown

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leads his team on the road in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks with plenty on the line. Playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Jimmy G will start in arguably the biggest game of his career. The sixth-year signal caller has enjoyed a solid season, with […]

Drew Brees A Low-End QB1 Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Brees is on fire coming into this one, with 935 passing yards and 12 touchdowns in his last three contests. Carolina doesn't present an impossible matchup- they rank 13th against the pass. The problem is, the Panthers have been one of […]

Baker Mayfield a QB2 for Season Finale

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will conclude his sophomore season with a road matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mayfield has turned in a disappointing season up to this point but has a chance to finish on a high note against a Cincy secondary that has struggled to contain opposing quarterbacks this season. If your fantasy […]

Leonard Fournette, Dede Westbrook, Gardner Minshew Questionable

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (neck), wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) and rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew (shoulder) are all listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Colts. All three players got in practice time this week, but Fournette didn't practice the last two days. In a meaningless Week 17 contest, the Jaguars […]

Devlin Hodges Sees Tough Week 17 Matchup

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges gets to face off with the Baltimore Ravens in a win-or-go-home matchup on Sunday. Hodges has started each of the last four games, and despite being benched in Week 16 for Mason Rudolph (shoulder), the rookie will get his fifth straight start since Rudolph got placed on injured reserve. The […]

Daniel Jones Hopes To End Season On High Note

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will look to build off his Week 16 explosion and end his rookie season on a high note when he takes on the Eagles on Sunday. With the Eagles needing a win to make the playoffs, this game has a strong likelihood to turn into a shootout, which would […]

Sam Darnold Has Tough Test In Week 17

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has made strides in his sophomore season in limiting turnovers, but he is still lacking the big-play ability to make him a startable QB in fantasy. Darnold has thrown for more than 300 yards just once since Week 6 and has more than two passing touchdowns in a game […]

Dalvin Cook, Kirk Cousins, Other Starters Not Expected To Play

The Minnesota Vikings are planning to treat the Week 17 game against the Bears a a mini bye week, as they are already locked into the NFC's No. 6 seed. The plan is for running back Dalvin Cook, quarterback Kirk Cousins, linebacker Eric Kendricks and other starters to rest, according to a source. That means […]

Falcons Will Keep Dan Quinn, Thomas Dimitroff

Atlanta Falcons owner and chairman Arthur M. Blank announced that head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff will be retained into the 2020 season. Additionally, Raheem Morris has been named the defensive coordinator, effective at the end of the 2019 season. Since moving back to defensive duties midway through this season, the Falcons […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Could Return In 2020

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't completely sure of his decision heading into 2020, but he feels good enough to continue playing another season. Physically, Fitzpatrick feels great, and the Dolphins named him their 2019 MVP by members of the media and the organization. He's the team's leading passer (3,209 yards, 19 touchdowns) and their […]
