Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 6

Welcome to Week 6 RotoBallers! Each week in this column, we'll highlight a few first-year players who are worth keeping your eye on. Not all of the players listed below are must-starts, but all of them are in a position to be viable fantasy options. If any of these names are sitting out on your […]

Jared Goff Will Continue To Air The Ball Out

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has remained aggressive in the air, throwing the ball 49 times for 295 yards in the team’s 30-29 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Incredibly, Goff’s performance came on a short week; the fourth-year QB had just thrown 68 passes, the third-most in league history, in a Week 4 loss […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Decent QB2 Option In Week 6

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins could be in line for a second straight usable fantasy performance in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Though the Eagles have the fourth-best pass rush (per PFF), they've been decimated by injuries to their secondary and had allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns (nine) prior to facing Luke Falk in […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/12/19

College football week 7 is here and we have an exciting Saturday on our hands. LSU and Florida will face-off tonight, but we get a great appetizer with a noon battle between Oklahoma and Texas. We'll be focusing on that slate, and getting to the later games in another post. With a 775 1/2 total […]

Extracting Fantasy Value from Winless Teams

It's typically a good rule of thumb to invest in good offenses when playing fantasy football. After all, good offenses score points and points are kind of what makes this whole fantasy football train roll down the tracks. But that doesn't mean all bad offenses deserve to be quarantined from fantasy owners' rosters. Let's take […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets and Avoids

The two double-digit favorites, Patriots and Eagles, did their part Sunday cruising to wins. However the Bears “great and vaunted” defense allows yet another game-winning drive, the Broncos Defense stifles the Chargers, and the Chiefs lose outright to the Colts at home knocking tons of entrants out in survivor. I rightly gave out the Patriots […]

Week 6 DFS Cash Game Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Between the bye weeks and the early kickoff in London between the Buccaneers and Panthers we have just 20-teams in action on our main slate this week. However, even on a smaller slate than the last few weeks we should still have plenty of options for our value plays in cash game lineups. An interesting […]

Week 6 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 5 in DFS finally provided one of the more chalk play weeks of the 2019 season. Many of the matches that looked primed to hit big came through for owners last week. Plays such as Christian McCaffrey and Will Fuller were names that we were touting to find ways to get them into your […]

Last Chance to Sell High on These Players

With five weeks already in the books and the sixth underway, we're entering the point of no return... in the trade market of your fantasy league, that is. Yes, there are almost two-thirds of the schedule yet to be played out. But most players have already made an impression and showed what they're up to […]

QB vs Pass Rush Matchups to Watch - Week 6

Week 6 of the NFL season is here, and, while some defenses are getting their act together, offenses around the league are beginning to get things rolling. Every game on this week's slate has an over/under of at least 40, which is the first time that has happened this season. We're also getting to the […]

Deshaun Watson Locked In As A QB1 Against The Chiefs

In what looks to be a fantasy bonanza this Sunday, Deshaun Watson is poised for a monster game. On average, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense gives up an average of 250 yards against opposing QB’S. This number includes matchups against Derek Carr and Jacoby Brissett, who wasn’t forced to throw the ball due to game script. […]

Inside the Tent - Week 6 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 […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 6

Bye weeks are now in full effect with the Colts, Raiders, Bills, and Bears all enjoying some rest and relaxation. So this week you may need to pillage the waiver wire in order to fill your starting lineup. Hopefully, you've been paying attention to this article in previous weeks and have been picking some of […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts: Week 6 Lineups

Week 6 will be a test for fantasy football players and owners. This the NFL’s first bye week of the season where more than two teams are off. The good news for fantasy players is that the four teams on bye – Chicago, Indianapolis, Buffalo and Oakland – are not exactly loaded with explosive offenses […]

Russell Wilson Looks To Continue Dominance

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will take the field on Sunday as the top QB in the fantasy game, and he'll be looking to do whatever it takes to bring home another win. Wilson's thrown for multiple touchdowns in four of the five games he's played this season, and this weekend's matchup will have Wilson […]

Joe Flacco Not A Viable Play In Week 6

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco has only had one good week in the five week long season thus far, and things don't lighten up in Week 6 for the veteran signal-caller. Flacco lines up against a Tennessee Titans Defense that is a constant threat to opposing quarterbacks. It would be desperate to throw Flacco into […]

Sam Darnold Looks To Spark Jets Offense

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) has been medically cleared to play and will lead the Jets offense Sunday when the Cowboys come to town. Darnold has been limited to one game this season due to illness, and the Jets have been among the worst offenses in the league in his absence. Having Darnold […]

Marcus Mariota Looking To Make More Plays

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has protected the ball extremely well thus far in 2019, with seven total touchdowns and no turnovers through five games. While the Titans do want him to continue protecting the ball, they also need him to start pushing the ball down the field for more big plays. Look for offensive […]

Seahawks Without Duane Brown, D.J. Fluker In Week 6

Seattle Seahawks left tackle Duane Brown (biceps) and offensive guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Browns. Guard Ethan Pocic (back) was also placed on Injured Reserve on Friday. Seattle's offensive line is banged up entering a matchup with an imposing Cleveland pass rush, so this could be […]

Philip Rivers Facing A Hot Defense

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is set to square off against a Steelers Defense that has been on point recently. While Pittsburgh is 1-4, they've allowed just 7.54 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in the last two weeks, including a match-up with Lamar Jackson. Rivers is obviously a well-versed veteran with an abundance of […]

Devlin Hodges To Make First Career Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges will start Sunday night's game against the LA Chargers. The team announced Friday that Mason Rudolph (concussion) will not play after the scary hit he took last Sunday. Hodges, the rookie from Samford, completed seven of nine passes for 68 yards in backup duty against the Ravens in Week 5. […]

Kyler Murray Rolling Into Week 6

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is 10th in the league in average fantasy points scored the last three weeks. His ground game is where he has excelled with 189 yards rushing and two touchdowns during those three games. He has thrown for 222.3 yards per game and has two touchdowns to three interceptions during the […]

Mason Rudolph Ruled Out For Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 6 on Sunday night against the Chargers. Rudolph returned to practice this week somehow, but it was always a long shot he'd play after taking a very scary hit in Week 5's loss to the Ravens. There's a chance that Rudolph makes it […]

Case Keenum To Start Against Dolphins

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan named quarterback Case Keenum the starter for Week 6 against the Dolphins, with rookie Dwayne Haskins set to back him up. Colt McCoy will likely be inactive after starting in Week 5. Keenum racked up some big games earlier this year, but he's a turnover machine and will […]

Andy Dalton Down To His Third-String Left Tackle

Cincinnati Bengals left tackles Cordy Glenn (concussion) and Andre Smith (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens. Glenn has yet to play this season. Cincy's offensive line is a mess, which obviously has been bad news for quarterback Andy Dalton in 2019. He'll likely be pressured often, but Dalton actually […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Shine in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has put together average fantasy performances over the last two weeks. He has thrown for over 300 yards in both of the last two games, but has only one touchdown to show from those contests. He should rebound nicely against the Houston Texans Defense in Week 6. The same […]

Tyron Smith A Game-Time Decision Sunday

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Jets, but he's expected to work off to the side during Friday's practice. He has not practiced since suffering his injury on Sept. 29. Right tackle La'el Collins (knee) is holding out hope he can play this weekend, […]

Josh Rosen Could Finally Find Success

Recently confirmed by head coach Brian Flores as the starter for the remainder of the season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen has his best chance to shine in Week 6 with the winless Washington Redskins coming to town. While the Dolphins are certainly horrible, Rosen's performances haven't been helped by an early schedule filled with […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Might Finally Need To Let Loose

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been the quintessential game manager amidst the team’s early-season undefeated run. With the Niners leading the league in rushing plays (57 percent), Jimmy G has yet to surpass 300 pass yards in any contest. That could change in Week 6 when the Niners play underdogs against the Los […]

49ers Defense Can't Be Ignored

The San Francisco 49ers Defense enters Week 6 as the second-best defense by DVOA. Even against the vaunted Los Angeles Rams offense, the Niners unit is a start-worthy fantasy option. The defensive line has wreaked havoc all season, bagging 13 sacks and forcing 11 turnovers. Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been shaky in 2019, committing […]
