Week 6 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Weeks 4 and 5 saw a combined four teams go on bye. Week 6, however, will be the first week of the season with four teams off in the same week. That will also be the case in Weeks 7, 9, 11 and 12. Meanwhile, in Week 10 there will be six different teams taking […]

Week 6 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that bye weeks are in full swing; streaming becomes a more viable and almost necessary strategy. Knowing who to add and when to start them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup. Making the right streaming decisions throughout the season could easily be the difference in winning a championship. Each week, I […]

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 6 Lineups

Week 5 in the NFL saw a return to normalcy from a fantasy perspective. Although we saw big performances from Will Fuller, D.J. Chark, and Aaron Jones, the top of the leaderboards was largely filled by some of the more common names from around the league. Could this be a turn of the corner as […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Week 6

This article's content may vary week-to-week, but generally, it will be answering questions fielded from either the @RotoBallerNFL twitter account or my personal one (@RotoSurgeon). This week, the focus is on start/sit questions, and there were plenty. Every week, many of us struggle with which quarterback to start, or who to flex, and I am […]

Cardinals Still Hoping David Johnson Plays

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) still has a shot at playing against the Falcons. While Johnson wasn't able to practice on Wednesday or Thursday, he did suit up on Friday to participate in a limited capacity. If he is out, Chase Edmonds will handle the bulk of the carries out of the backfield, […]

Alvin Kamara Likely To Play

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is likely to play against the Jaguars. After practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday, while alarming fantasy managers after being held out on Friday, the 24-year-old should be good to go for the Week 6 showdown with Jacksonville. Kamara has a favorable matchup on Sunday, with […]

Week 6 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

This game is a matchup of the two top teams in the NFC North, by the standings at least. The key to this game will, of course be the offenses. Both the Lions and Packers come into this game boasting offenses which rank in the top half of the NFL and this game should be […]

FanDuel, DraftKings MNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 6

Monday Night Football is here, and the Green Bay Packers (4-1) are set to take on the Detroit Lions (2-1-1). We have an interesting matchup for daily fantasy. Both teams have defenses that can slow down any offensive unit when they're clicking. On the contrary side, the offenses have a ton of weapons with quarterbacks […]

Todd Gurley Officially Out

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) will not play against San Francisco. Gurley suffered a thigh contusion during the Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, and while there was hope that the veteran would play, he will now watch from the sidelines in Week 6. Look for Malcolm Brown to pick up […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Stash Running Backs the Right Way

For those who don't know, I am the #AllBenchRB guy and I will reiterate what that means if you didn't peep my primer last year. I believe that your bench should be filled with RBs. RBs are the most injury prone and RB depth charts the most variable providing you with the greatest opportunity to […]

Chris Carson Should See Plenty Of Action

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns, and head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that he's fine. On top of that, Carson will likely be one of the central pieces of Seattle's offense once again. Carson proved critical last week against the Rams, and with Cleveland […]

Royce Freeman's Value Is On The Decline

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman's value has started to head on the decline in recent weeks, as he continues to get outproduced by teammate Phillip Lindsay. Freeman had a rough showing last week fantasy-wise and faces a Tennessee Titans Defense that ranks ninth against opposing running backs. Freeman should be on benches in most […]

Phillip Lindsay Is A Flex Option In Week 6

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay has started to prove doubters wrong as he is slowly putting together a strong 2019 season. Lindsay continues to outproduce teammate Royce Freeman, although Freeman is constantly stealing reps from Lindsay out of the backfield. The sophomore back Lindsay faces a stout Tennessee Titans Defense but hopes to still […]

Dion Lewis Not In Play In Week 6

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has gotten off to a disappointing start to the 2019 season, touching the ball a total of 26 times for just 97 yards through five games. Lewis has been severely outplayed by fellow running back Derrick Henry, who has carried his late-season run in 2018 over to this season […]

Derrick Henry A Borderline RB1 In Week 6

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry continues to produce weekly fantasy value despite very little involvement in the team's passing game. Henry enters a Week 6 matchup with the Denver Broncos with 388 yards and five total touchdowns on the season. The Broncos Defense has been susceptible to big games from running backs thus far […]

Le'Veon Bell A High-End RB2 Sunday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will look to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1 on Sunday in a matchup with the Cowboys. Bell has had a solid floor in fantasy by playing 94.3 percent of the offensive snaps and leading the team in targets. His dominance in playing […]

Austin Ekeler Should Get Plenty More Chances

Los Angeles Chargers running back/pass-catching extraordinaire Austin Ekeler will likely see a whole lot of opportunities again this week. Ekeler caught a whopping 15 passes last week against the Broncos, and with LA squaring off against a hard-nosed Pittsburgh defense, expect Philip Rivers to use Ekeler as an easy out once again. That said, there […]

Melvin Gordon Faces A Tough Task

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will get his second shot at game speed on Sunday, but he'll have his hands full against a Pittsburgh defense that has been on fire. The deck is stacked against him as Gordon looked rusty in his first appearance, his offensive line is bad and injured, and the […]
