RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 8 Preview

Another week and more injuries at running back. For this week’s article, I’m going to focus on backfields that have had injuries or guys currently banged up and what value can be found in their replacements. Will they just be a bye-week fill in or will some of these newly crowned starters be viable starters […]

The Curious Case of Corey Davis

Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel, Cole Beasley, Dede Westbrook...I could go on and on in listing all the random players who are having a better year than Corey Davis. It won't make you feel any better about drafting him, though. He's been about as disappointing as it gets as far as high profile wide receivers go. […]

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).

Week 8 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

There will be a lot of tight ends not playing this upcoming week, but most of them will not be missed by fantasy football owners. While another four teams will be off during Week 8, the only tight end fantasy footballers will need a replacement for is Atlanta’s Austin Hooper, and he has only become […]

Week 8 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

A lot of NFL teams are turning to their backup quarterbacks, and with poor play and bye weeks many fantasy owners may follow suit heading into Week 8. Four teams are on bye this week, with Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers the two most notable quarterbacks on bye. Lesser owned options Dak Prescott and Marcus […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 8): NFL DFS Lineups

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

Week 7 was a particularly chaotic one, with several big names going down with injuries and smaller names stepping up before most of us woke up (thanks, London) all the way through the night. We here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you actionable intel as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so consider […]

Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

  Some weeks, kickers put up a ton of points and they win you a week. This week was not one of those, as the leading scorer after Sunday was Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater with 14 points in standard formats. Hopefully, things turn out better this week with a new slate of games and […]

Falcons Defense Returns Poor Points Total Again Monday

The Atlanta Falcons defense was not able to make the most of the pressure they got on Eli Manning in the game Monday. The Falcons seemed to have Manning in their sights a lot but only ended up with four sacks and did not manage to force a turnover of any kind. This was the […]

Giorgio Tavecchio Has Solid First Outing As A Falcon

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio had a decent first outing in an Atlanta Falcons uniform. Facing the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, the left-footed kicker converted all three of his field goal opportunities, including a long of 56 yards, and both of his extra points. With two 50-yard field goals and a 40-yarder […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Disappointing Day Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu had a disappointing day against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Coming into the week Sanu had been limited in practice with a hip injury so it is no surprise to see him have a limited number of targets. Sanu saw just two targets, both of which […]

Calvin Ridley Has Mediocre Day Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a mediocre day against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Ridley caught five of his six targets for 43 yards. Other than the game against the Saints where he had 143 yards this has been a typical day for Ridley this season. If Ridley had found […]

Austin Hooper Fails To Find End Zone Monday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was not able to find the end zone against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The Falcons tight end managed to catch three of his four targets for 48 yards, meaning he was not a complete dud for fantasy owners. However, Hooper's value generally lies in touchdown […]

Marvin Hall Catches Deep Bomb Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Marvin Hall got himself on the score sheet Monday night against the New York Giants. Hall was always likely to see a little more time on the field with Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley a little banged up this week. Whenever Hall is on the field he is a threat to […]

Julio Jones Tops 100 Yards Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones broke through the 100-yard receiving mark for the fourth time this season against the New York Giants. Jones caught nine of his 12 targets for 104 yards as Matt Ryan looked his way regularly on Monday. The day could have been even better if Ryan had managed to get […]

Ito Smith Ineffective Monday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had an ineffective outing against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Smith is set to be the number two in the run game for the remainder of the season with Devonta Freeman on injured reserve. However, this performance will not have done him many favors. Smith rushed […]

Tevin Coleman Has Mixed Night Monday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a mixed night against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The overall numbers look good as Coleman rushed 11 times for 50 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown, adding two receptions for 32 yards. However, what makes this a mixed night for Coleman is how the yards […]

Matt Ryan Efficient Monday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan put up some fairly efficient numbers against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Ryan completed 31 of his 39 pass attempts for 379 yards and a long touchdown pass. It looked like it was going to be a long night for Ryan as he was sacked three times […]

Week 7 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

When I watch movies, I root for the bad guy. I always wanted the coyote to catch the roadrunner. An NFL team going after a defeated season is exponentially more intriguing to me than the pursuit of an undefeated one. I'm just that guy. So much so, that when I sat down to begin typing […]

Week 7 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Unless you play in a league with a Week 17 playoff round, which...no, no, no, stop it...then Week 7 represents the midway part of the fantasy football regular season, which feels shocking. It's gone so fast! But why has it gone so quickly? Football feels like it just barely returned and now it's already Week […]

Week 7 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Through six weeks we are now starting to see things settle down somewhat. We no longer have the massive movements in the tables that we have seen previously.

Running Back Buy-Low Assets for the Second Half

Fantasy football at its heart is about creating equity and finding value in selections that you make, with the aim of getting to the end of the playoffs and winning that last game to laud it over your league-mates. One way of doing that is trying to identify who is a player that is running […]
