Week 14 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

This feels like the first time in ages we have not lost a fantasy gold mine type team to Thursday Night Football. Seriously can one of the Jaguars and Titans play in that slot every week? Their current brand of football suits it so well! What that does mean is that entering the fantasy weekend […]

Inside the Tent - Week 14 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 […]

Frank Gore A Low-Ceiling Flex In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a low-end flex option in Week 14 against New England. Gore is coming off a disappointing game last week against Buffalo, totaling just 31 yards. Gore also has not scored a rushing touchdown all season, which makes him unexciting in a matchup against New England. The Patriots have […]

Duke Johnson Continues to Have Minimal Value

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has started to become stagnant in recent weeks, as fellow running back Nick Chubb has continued to carry most of the team's production. Johnson holds stronger value than usual this week, as the Browns may try to attack more via the air due to the strength of the Panthers run […]

Nick Chubb Has Another Tough Test Versus Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has been on fire in recent weeks and looks to bring the heat once again in his Week 14 matchup against a solid Panthers run defense. Do not be scared of the fact that Chubb is facing a top-five rush defense, as he proved last week he can compete […]

Chris Carson On Track To Play Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (finger) returned to a full practice on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Carson was expected to play Monday night against the Vikings despite dislocating his index finger in Week 13. He'll remain the lead back in a touch matchup against Minnesota's stout run defense, where he'll be more […]

Jalen Richard Set For Big Role Against The Steelers

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard is in a favorable spot this Sunday against the Steelers. The Raiders listed Doug Martin as questionable for this game but should be good to go, which oddly enough won't impact Richard's production. Richard has four or more targets in 10 straight games, which is a trend we should […]

Doug Martin A Risky Option This Weekend

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Martin practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday but was limited as of Friday, but should be good to go according to reports. Even if he does suit up, he makes a risky play due to the fact the […]

Melvin Gordon Officially Ruled Out

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Bengals. Gordon is nursing a sprained knee and might even struggle to be cleared for next Thursday's game against the Chiefs. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson will continue to hold down the fort as long as […]

Kerryon Johnson Officially Ruled Out

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Cardinals after not practicing at all this week. It'll be Johnson's third straight missed game. LeGarrette Blount has seen 35 carries in the last two weeks and will continue to be the backfield workhorse in a good […]

Doug Martin, Seth Roberts Listed As Questionable

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) and wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Steelers. Martin should be good to go for this game, but he could lose work to Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington. Martin is a touchdown-dependent RB3 that could suffer in negative game […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson, who had missed two practices this week due to the death of his grandmother, returned to the team on Friday and should play in Week 14 against the Panthers. Johnson had a measly two touches last week against the Texans and three total touches the week prior, so the […]

Ito Smith A Deep-League Desperation Play Only

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is not really a viable fantasy option for owners against Green Bay in Week 14. Smith has averaged just 10.75 rushing yards and 8.5 receiving yards per game over the last four games. It has also been five weeks since he last scored a touchdown, and with the Falcons […]

Tevin Coleman Impossible To Trust In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman is going to be a tough player for fantasy owners to rely on in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Over the past two weeks Coleman has averaged just one yard per carry on 14 total carries and has added just 20 yards receiving on four catches. He […]

Kenyan Drake A High-Risk RB3 In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a high-risk RB3 or flex in Week 14 against New England. Drake has scored in back-to-back games and is getting in the area of 10 touches per game. He can be dangerous in space, which makes every touch Drake gets of high value. The Patriots have performed well […]

Melvin Gordon A Long Shot To Play This Week

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) missed practice all week as he rehabs from his sprained right knee. We expect he'll be ruled out later in the day for Week 14 against the Bengals. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson should again split touches in the Bolts backfield against a Bengals team that […]

Devonta Freeman Has Chance To Return This Year

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (groin) has been rehabbing in Philadelphia and head coach Dan Quinn isn't ruling him out for the remainder of the season. While Freeman has a shot to play before Week 17, it doesn't make much sense for the Falcons to risk re-injury after Freeman had surgery earlier this year. […]

Isaiah Crowell, Robby Anderson Questionable

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 14 against the Bills. ESPN's Rich Cimini says that both players should be good to go. Crowell and Anderson have battled through injuries for much of the year. Crowell […]

Chris Thompson Seeks Increased Workload Against Giants

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson had an uneventful return to the field in Week 13, recording just six inconsequential touches. The Redskins could look to get him more involved in a Week 14 contest that may well determine the fate of their season. The Giants have allowed an NFL-worst six receiving touchdowns to running […]

T.J. Yeldon Barely Plays Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon played just 13 snaps in Thursday's loss to the Titans, catching his only target for 10 yards and adding a seven-yard run to his totals as well. Yeldon had been targeted at least three times in every game before this one, and had been shaping into a solid PPR […]

Leonard Fournette Held In Check By Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette returned from his one-game suspension for Thursday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans, but he was never able to gain much traction, finishing with 36 rushing yards on 14 carries and getting stuffed multiple times at the goal line as the Jacksonville offensive line failed to open any space for […]

Adrian Peterson Looks To Run Over Giants Again

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is still working his way through a shoulder injury that has affected his participation in practice of late, but the injury hasn't kept him out of any games. Monitor the final injury reports as you prepare your lineup for the first round of the fantasy playoffs, but expect Peterson […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 14): NFL DFS Lineups

This is an intriguing slate in Week 14. With the Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, and Saints all on the slate, there is plenty of firepower. The Rams game being flexed to the Sunday Night Football slot is not a huge loss as they are playing a very good Bears defense. In addition, we have some defenses […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 14 Preview

Last week was all about those running backs who have done the most to boost their average draft position heading into 2019. What about those who have done the most to hurt themselves? Even though these running backs haven’t had a great 2018, we should consider buying low on them prior to next season for […]

What Is Kareem Hunt's Dynasty Value?

To start off, I am going to make it clear that this article is about the dynasty value of Kareem Hunt not knowing in any definitive way what the future holds for his NFL career. This is not going to opine on the legal aspects or moral aspects of what transpired with him recently. No […]

Dion Lewis Takes A Back Seat In Blowout Win

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis took a back seat to teammate Derrick Henry in the team's blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lewis rushed 10 times for just 13 yards and added five receptions for 39 yards as Henry set the Titans single-game record for rushing yards with 238. This game put an exclamation […]

Derrick Henry Has Record-Setting Night Versus Jacksonville

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry stole the show on Thursday Night Football, setting the Titans single-game rushing record with 238 yards and four touchdowns on just 17 carries. Henry also tied the record for longest run in NFL history with a 99-yard touchdown. The Jacksonville defenders had seemingly no desire to bring Henry down […]

LeGarrette Blount In Line For Solid Day Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount has rushed for 149 yards in his last two games. That’s not far off from the 183 yards he accrued through the first 10 games of the season. He didn’t find the end zone in Week 13 which renders him pretty useless for fantasy purposes. A Week 14 matchup […]

Theo Riddick Could See Decent Workload Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick had his highest rushing totals of the season in Week 13, taking eight carries for 32 yards. However, it was at the expense of his workload in the passing game that has kept him fantasy relevant for almost the entirety of his career. With Kerryon Johnson still not practicing, […]
