Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

The playoffs are coming... but not yet. With all the talk of trade deadlines and ROS prep, we should keep one thing in mind - you have to get there first. I've seen teams sell high and buy low right out of contention because they forgot to actually win games in the process of preparing […]

Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 10): NFL DFS Lineups

We have a lot of good offenses on the main slate this week, with the Saints, Chiefs, Rams, Falcons, Patriots and Chargers all suiting up Sunday. The only offenses really missing are the Steelers and Panthers who met last night. In addition, a couple of the stingier defenses are out of the slate, with the […]

Week 10 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 10 brings us several tasty matchups from a fantasy standpoint, including a Saints-Bengals game with a nice 54-point over/under. The main slate also boasts several other games with over/unders of 50 points or more. That would include the Falcons-Browns game (51 points), Cardinals-Chiefs (50), Washington-Buccaneers (51.5), Chargers-Raiders (50.5), and Seahawks-Rams (51.5). […]

Giorgio Tavecchio A Solid Play On Sunday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio will once again be kicking for the Falcons against the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. Tavecchio will continue to kick for the Falcons as Matt Bryant recovers from his hamstring injury. With a high flying offense the floor is solid for Tavecchio, who should at least get the opportunity to […]

Atlanta Falcons Defense Could Have Success In Week 10

The Atlanta Falcons defense has a chance to be fantasy relevant in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns. The Falcons defense has been unable to make the big play this year and that has limited their ability to rack up fantasy points. However, this week they are facing a team who have had turnover trouble. […]

Austin Hooper A Borderline Play In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will be hoping to bounce back from a couple of tough weeks when he faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. In the last two weeks Hooper has averaged just 44.5 yards and three receptions, also failing to find the end zone. However, the previous two matchups have been […]

Julio Jones Remains A Must-Start In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones will be looking to backup a superb outing when he faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. Jones had 121 receiving yards as he went 7-of-10 against the Washington Redskins. However, more importantly than anything Jones finally managed to find the end zone for the first time this season. […]

Ito Smith A Potential Flex Option In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has the opportunity to be a flex play for fantasy owners against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Smith had a solid outing last week against the Washington Redskins with 10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown. He added four yards as he caught one of his two targets. […]

Tevin Coleman Could Have Another Good Day In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could be in line to put up a second straight good performance in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns. In Week 9 against the Washington Redskins, Coleman rushed for 88 yards on 13 carries. He also added 68 receiving yards on five receptions, from seven targets with two touchdowns. […]

Matt Ryan Set For Big Day In Cleveland

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should have the chance to put up good numbers on Sunday when facing the Cleveland Browns. Ryan demonstrated last week that he can perform on the road with 350 passing yards and four touchdowns. This week, Ryan faces a defense which ranks 27th in passing yards given up, having surrendered […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

Matt Bryant Back At Practice

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Bryant has missed the last two games, but his limited practice on Thursday means he definitely has a shot to kick in Week 10 against the Browns. The 43-year-old booter has made all nine of his field […]

Mohamed Sanu Returns Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Sanu has been fighting his hip injury for the last couple weeks but hasn't missed a game. As the No. 3 wideout in the pecking order, Sanu will be more of a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex against the Browns in […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?

I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of […]

Picking From the Fringe - Waiver Targets for a Playoff Push

With the fantasy football regular season coming down to the wire, there are those players who are established in the playoffs and those who are already out of contention. For the rest of us, there are moves to be made and waiver acquisitions to be made to keep our playoff hopes alive. Making the correct […]

Buy or Sell? Week 10 Trade Advice

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Mohamed Sanu, Matt Bryant Miss Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) and kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) were not practicing on Wednesday. Sanu has been on the injury report in recent weeks but hasn't missed any time. He had a stretch where he scored three touchdowns in four games but has cooled off since as rookie Calvin Ridley becomes a […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Disaster Recovery Week 9: Mike Evans Lacks (Fitz)Magic

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have benched a player for somebody on your bench. Disaster Recovery is to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about benching, and deciding if you should be panicking at all […]

Calvin Ridley Finds The End Zone Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley got back on track Sunday, finding the end zone in the team’s win over the Washington Redskins. The rookie was second on the team behind Julio Jones in both targets and yards. Ridley finished his day with nine targets, and managed to grab six of them for 71 yards […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Mediocre Performance

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu had a mediocre outing on Sunday against the Washington Redskins. Sanu was rather efficient, catching four out of his five targets for 45 yards. He has been dealing with a hip injury for sometime now, but looks to be trending up in the right direction after the game Sunday. […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 10, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to lingering injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers. Fortunately, you now have an opportunity to utilize your […]

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the season rolls on, the kicker position is always a tough one to gauge. There are so few players locked in as starters that you sometimes have to hope you get lucky. After producing double digits only three times all season, why would Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey put up 11 this week? That's […]

Week 10 Quarterback - Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Outside of Nick Mullens big Thursday Night performance, it was a rather quiet week for waiver wire quarterbacks. Some of the studs like Drew Brees and Matt Ryan had huge games, but there weren't many emergent names or standout performances in the middle tiers other than Mullens. Four teams are on bye this week, with […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]

Falcons Defense Returns Another So-So Result

The Atlanta Falcons defense did not manage to turn their good on-field performance into fantasy value. The Falcons defense held the Washington Redskins offense to just 14 points, the lowest number the defense have conceded this season. However, they were only able to get three sacks and one interception meaning their fantasy points total was […]
