Boston Scott Picks Up 48 Yards on Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott picked up 48 yards in a Wild Card Weekend loss. He ran the ball six times for 25 yards and added three catches for 23 more yards. Scott showed some flashes at the end of this season and should have a more significant role from Week 1 next season. […]

Miles Sanders Gains 77 Yards in a Wild Card Loss

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders ran the ball 14 times for 69 yards, adding three catches for eight yards. Sanders was dealing with an ankle injury and limited in some practices leading up to this one, and he seemed a bit slow at times. He wraps up a solid rookie season however, and […]

Latavius Murray Held To 25 Scrimmage Yards In Loss

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray picked up 21 rushing yards on five carries and caught one of two targets for four yards in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Murray finishes his season with a disappointing effort, though it ended up being a pretty good year for the 29-year-old. He enjoyed two […]

Alvin Kamara Struggles Overall, Scores For Third Straight Game

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught eight of nine targets for 34 yards in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He struggled in this one, capping off a disappointing season for both he and the Saints, though he did score […]

Dalvin Cook Racks Up Two More Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed 28 times for 94 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-20 Wild Card round win over the New Orleans Saints. He also caught three of five targets for 36 yards in the victory. Cook rushed for a 3.4 yards per carry average but definitely made his presence known […]

Rex Burkhead Registers 32 Receiving Yards In Loss

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead caught three passes for 32 yards in the team's 20-13 loss to the Titans in the Wild Card Round. Six different players recorded a rush from the Patriots backfield but the team couldn't get anything going in the second half. Burkhead is a solid role player but rarely […]

James White Leads Pats With 62 Receiving Yards

New England Patriots running back James White caught five passes for a team-high 62 yards in the team's disappointing loss to the Titans in the Wild Card Round. The veteran also added a run for 14 yards in a game where the Patriots offense really struggled in the second half. After posting 12 total touchdowns […]

Sony Michel Tallies 70 Total Yards

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 14 times for 61 yards and added nine receiving yards in the team's 20-13 loss to the Titans in the Wild Card Round. Michel averaged 4.4 yards per carry but the Patriots offense, once again, sputtered when it mattered most. It has been a very […]

2019 RotoBaller Fantasy Football Awards

Welcome to the official 2019 Fantasy Football Awards Show, presented by RotoBaller. While no one can fill Michael Scott’s shoes, I’ll try to make he and The Dundies proud as we look back on 2019, look forward to 2020, and maybe just learn something along the way. Or get a hankering for Chili’s. Either way, […]

Break The Slate: NFL DFS DraftKings Lineup Picks - Wild Card Round

Hi RotoBallers, and thanks for joining me here for the NFL Playoffs! Wild Card Weekend offers us a Thanksgiving-Day-like slate of four games spread over Saturday and Sunday. While this obviously limits our choices to a degree, it's a big enough slate that we can still find some ways to make our rosters unique. We'll […]

Duke Johnson's Usage Remains Uneven

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson flashed his ability in Saturday's win over the Buffalo Bills, but only touched the ball six times. He had 38 rushing yards on three carries and three catches for 30 yards, but even with the run game struggling for much of the contest, head coach Bill O'Brien continued to […]

Carlos Hyde Catches Touchdown Against Bills

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde didn't make a huge impact on the ground with his 16 carries for 48 yards on Saturday against the Bills, but he caught a key five-yard touchdown and received all but three of the running back carries in the win. Hyde had 116 rushing yards and a touchdown in […]

David Johnson - Fall from Fantasy Glory

Entering the 2019 fantasy football season, Arizona running back David Johnson had an ADP of seventh overall in FFPC leagues. He was a consensus first-round pick nearly everywhere as fantasy owners expected a repeat of his breakout 2016 season. Instead, he fell hard from his elite fantasy status, looking like a shell of the player […]

Lane Johnson Ruled Out Against Seahawks

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for the wild-card game against the Seahawks on Sunday, according to sources. However, Johnson is expected to be ready to play in the Divisional Round next weekend if the Eagles advance. Johnson is one of the best right tackles in football, so his loss […]

Rex Burkhead A Risky Option Saturday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead should be involved vs the Titans Saturday, but will be a risky play with Sony Michel and James White also expected to see touches. Burkhead has taken a backseat to Michel over the last three weeks getting out-touched 60-24 in those games despite averaging almost a full yard […]

Latavius Murray Has Some Flex Appeal Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has performed well in a backup role to Alvin Kamara this season, but a wild-card matchup with the Minnesota Vikings proves to be a tough spot. Murray is very much a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, but he does have 34 receptions on the season, adding some PPR value to […]

Alvin Kamara Peaking At Right Time

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored four times in the last two games to end the regular season, and he heads into a middling matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. Before Week 16, Kamara hadn't had a very impressive season, but he seems to be coming into his own when […]

Travis Homer Could Have Sneaky Value

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer could have sneaky value on Sunday versus a dominant Eagles run defense. Homer will share a backfield with newly-signed Marshawn Lynch, who figures to be used between the tackles while Homer operates as a pass-catching back. The rookie from Miami has pulled in 11 receptions over the last two […]

Marshawn Lynch Not A Recommended Option

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch returned last week to much fanfare. He even found his way into the end zone. But the veteran who was unsigned two weeks ago will now face an Eagles Defense that is 7th in the league in fantasy points allowed to running backs. What's worse for Lynch is that […]

James White Should Be Involved Saturday

New England Patriots running back James White isn't the lead back for his team, but he has been the most consistent producer for fantasy owners and should be involved plenty in Saturday's wild-card matchup with Tennessee. White only had double-digit carries once this season but has made at least three catches in 13 of 15 […]

Sony Michel Should See Enough Work To Start

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel had a disappointing sophomore season for fantasy owners but will look to redeem himself in the playoffs starting on wild-card weekend against Tennessee. Michel only rushed for 912 yards this year on just 3.7 yards per carry but is trending upwards as the playoffs get underway. Michel out-touched […]

Duke Johnson's Usage Makes Him Risky Play

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson is a risky option on Saturday against the Bills, mainly because the Texans have struggled to get him involved down the stretch. Not counting a meaningless Week 17 game where Johnson ceded carries to Houston's backup backs after scoring a touchdown on the first drive, Johnson had just 11 […]

Carlos Hyde Has Tough Matchup Against Bills

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde is a risky DFS play during the wild-card round of the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills. Hyde has had his best season in the NFL from a yardage perspective, but the Bills were solid against running backs in the regular season, and Hyde is one of the least dynamic […]

Flying Low: The Jets Continue to Frustrate Fantasy Owners

If you talk to a New York Jets fan, they will likely share numerous stories of disappointment and tales of woe. A heavy portion of their fans were not old enough to see them win the franchise’s only Super Bowl title. Since the 1970 merger, the Jets have never even played in a Super Bowl, […]

Derrick Henry Draws Tough Matchup Against Patriots

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry draws a tough wild-card matchup against the New England Patriots on Saturday. Henry is coming off a dominant three-touchdown performance in Week 17, but he will have his work cut out for him in the first round of the playoffs. New England's run defense ranked No. 6 overall in […]
