Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Derek Carr, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill

The NFL trade deadline was a yawn. Let’s hope the rest of your fantasy football season isn’t. Fantasy footballers have to contend with another four-team bye week that takes all of the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons out of play. But even with a slightly smaller player pool to […]

Second-Half Surgers - Upcoming Favorable Schedules

The general gist of this entire article is that matchups matter and there are several teams that have faced either a gauntlet of defenses through the first half of the season and will see a much lighter second half or have dealt with touchdown variance that will regress. Sometimes players/teams get unlucky and that is […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9

Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through. The owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

Alfred Morris To See Work

Arizona Cardinals running back Alfred Morris is expected to see some action Thursday night with David Johnson (ankle) and Chase Edmonds (hamstring) likely out. Newly acquired running back Kenyan Drake's workload will be restricted, and Morris figures to see a lot of the carries on first and second down. The San Francisco 49ers Defense is […]

David Johnson Unlikely For Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday night. Running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) is also out, which means Kenyan Drake and Alfred Morris will share the work against the San Francisco 49ers. The team said Drake's workload will be restricted because he's so new to the team. Look for Morris […]

T.J. Yeldon Has No Value For Week 9

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive the past two weeks and figures to be the same for Week 9. The Bills have exclusively used Frank Gore and Devin Singletary as their running backs the past two weeks. Yeldon has no value in fantasy leagues at this point and would likely require injuries […]

Frank Gore Is A Low-End RB2 For Week 9

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore struggled in Week 8 against the Eagles, gaining just 34 rushing yards on nine carries. There are some concerns for Gore going forward, but for now, he remains the team's No. 1 back and the Bills have an extremely favorable matchup this week against the Redskins, who are allowing […]

Jeffery Wilson On Call As Flex Option

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson could be poised for more work in Week 9’s Thursday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. Both Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) are game-time decisions, potentially making the fourth-string Wilson the only healthy back behind Tevin Coleman. Wilson sparked fantasy buzz in Weeks 2-3 operating as […]

Running Back Start/Sit Advice - Week 9

They decide who to start or sit among those in RB3 or flex consideration. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube to get all our latest […]

Devin Singletary A Potential Flex In Deep Leagues For Week 9

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has a favorable Week 9 matchup against a Redskins Defense allowing the fifth-most rushing yards per game in the league this year. Singletary has had exactly seven touches in each of the past two weeks, his first two games back after a hamstring injury kept him sidelined for a […]

Tra Carson A Risky Week 9 Start

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson led the Lions backfield in touches just one week after being claimed off of waivers and will look to establish himself in Week 9 in a matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Carson totaled 34 yards while backfield mate Ty Johnson put up just 25 yards on seven touches in […]

Peyton Barber Not An Appealing Week 9 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber and the Bucs will travel to Seattle in Week 9 to face the Seahawks. Barber is firmly entrenched in a timeshare with backfield mate Ronald Jones II, and with nothing changing in that regard after the Bucs bye week, fantasy owners can expect this to be the case […]

Ty Johnson A Shaky Week 9 Option

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson greatly disappointed fantasy owners in Week 8, especially those who used a decent portion of their FAAB to grab him, and things aren't likely to change this week against a Raiders Defense that is currently tied for fifth in yards per carry allowed. Johnson, who was assumed to be the […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings are becoming a true contender. Even though the Vikings air raid looked strong with quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing for 285 passing yards and wideout Stefon Diggs eclipsing the 100 receiving yard mark in a 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins, running back Dalvin Cook stole the show with 171 total yards and […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 9

Welcome to Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season. We kick this week off with a fun game in the University of Phoenix between the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers are huge away favorites, sitting at -10 with a 43 total. The biggest news is both David Johnson and Chase Edmonds likely […]

Marlon Mack Has A Tough Matchup In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has been solid this year. He's the RB20 in PPR leagues and the RB16 in standard leagues. When Mack is able to keep pounding the ball behind his wall of an offensive line, he is usually able to churn out a high yardage total or get into the end […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) and wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine for Week 9 against the Lions, barring a setback this week. Jacobs was held in check coming off his shoulder injury against Houston last Sunday, but he should be […]

Phillip Lindsay Lands On Injury Report

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. The Broncos are likely just giving Lindsay a breather as we approach the second half of the season, but this injury is worth watching after the 2018 breakout had offseason wrist surgery. He's been a disappointment so far in […]

Tevin Coleman Should Keep On Rolling

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman earns an RB1 tag in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Since returning from injury in Week 5, Coleman’s been a monster, compiling 337 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 71 touches, including a four-game explosion in Week 8. Coleman draws a sweet Halloween matchup against a bottom-four […]

Kenyan Drake Devoid Of Upside

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake won't have a heavy workload in Week 9 after just arriving via trade a few days ago. He's also facing one of the best defenses against the position the last five weeks. Running back David Johnson (ankle) will be a game-time decision, and Drake will either share the load […]

Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert Questionable In Week 9

San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) both practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday and are both listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Cardinals. They'll be game-time decisions in this tasty matchup, but they could both lose touches to Tevin Coleman and Jeffery Wilson if they're active. […]

David Johnson Questionable For Thursday Night

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday night against the 49ers. He'll be a game-time decision, but fantasy owners may want to stay away even if he's active in this terrible matchup. If DJ returns this week, it'll likely be to a committee backfield […]

Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Limited

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder), wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest, shoulder) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be fine for Week 9 against the Ravens on Sunday night, so there's not much to see here. New England faces their most difficult test […]

Tarik Cohen Will Be Dart-Throw Option Against Eagles

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will have a daunting task taking on an Eagles Defense that is allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing backs. The Eagles have allowed only one 100-yard rushing game all season and have allowed only one receiving touchdown to running backs this season. Cohen has been an extremely […]

Chase Edmonds Won't Play Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) will not play on Thursday night against the 49ers. This was expected all along after Edmonds was hurt in Week 8 and didn't return. He could miss multiple weeks. David Johnson (ankle) has returned to practice and has a shot to play against San Fran, but the Cardinals […]

Miles Sanders Not Practicing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) is not practicing on Wednesday, but the belief remains that his injury is minor. Sanders was injured in Week 8, but he should be able to suit up in Week 9 against the Bears. The 22-year-old broke off a 65-yard run for his first career rushing touchdown […]

David Johnson Practicing

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) was participating in practice Wednesday. The only portion open to the media was stretching, and it's unknown how much Johnson did afterwards. It was previously reported that he wasn't expected to play this week, but Chase Edmonds (hamstring) wasn't even participating in the stretching. It's possible Johnson could […]

DeSean Jackson, Darren Sproles Return To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) and running back Darren Sproles (quadriceps) both returned to the practice field on Wednesday. Jackson has been out since getting injured in Week 2, but he has a chance to suit up in Week 9 against the Bears, although the Eagles could play it safe and hold him […]

James Conner Misses Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Conner may not practice at all this week after getting injured on Monday night, but he still has a chance to play in Week 9 against the Colts. Expect him to be listed as questionable on the final injury report. The Terminator will […]
