Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

The better part of three weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse. One must still consider the matchups played thus far and those to come, but usage and volume are becoming reliable. Week 4 also brings the first bye week, with the Jets and […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The main story of Week 3 was the fill-in quarterbacks...and how effective some of them were. That's going to throw a lot of our analysis of defenses into turmoil, and we've gotta be ready for Week 4. Below are RotoBaller's Week 4 defense tiers and rankings, or which defenses to stream, start and target off […]

Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Let us all give thanks for Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri finally getting back to the successful kicking ways that we expect from him. Heading into Monday night's game, he was tied for third among kickers on the week with 10 points. It's good to see the legend get back on track. In Week 4, […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 3 Outliers

Through the first three weeks of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better picture of the fantasy landscape as offensive roles continue to solidify. However, there were a few players that didn't have their normal roles in Week 3, and those situations warrant a closer look. It's also a little concerning that […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 4)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rex Burkhead was a highly sought after sleeper candidate heading into 2018 fantasy football drafts, but has been largely forgotten about in 2019 thanks to missing a significant portion of last season due to a neck injury. He has started to […]

Phillip Dorsett (WR, NE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to remember a shakier season around the Patriots receiving corps on and off the field, though everything seems to be finally falling into place. New England entered the season with the same wide receivers that they fielded last year […]

James Develin Placed On Injured Reserve

New England Patriots fullback James Develin (neck) was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday. While Develin wasn't at all fantasy relevant, his loss is notable for the Patriots ground game, most notably Sony Michel. Michel had another underwhelming performance in the easy Week 3 win over the Jets, rushing nine times for only 11 yards […]

Patriots Confident In Stephen Gostkowski

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said he's confident in kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who has missed four kicks in two games. "Honestly, I think Steve has hit the ball well," Belichick said. "I understand we’ve had a couple of missed kicks in games, I see that, but on a day-to-day basis, you don’t see […]

Julian Edelman Day-To-Day With Rib Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (rib) is being listed as day-to-day after suffering a rib injury in the Week 3 win over the Jets, according to a league source. He "hasn't been ruled out" for Week 4 against the Bills. Edelman's X-rays came back negative, and quarterback Tom Brady said his favorite target […]

Patriots Defense Dominates Again

The New England Patriots Defense stifled an opponent once again as the team cruised to a 30-14 win over the Jets. The Jets were never in this game as the Patriots pass rush racked up five sacks while allowing only 35 rushing yards. The defense, technically, still has not allowed a touchdown all season as […]

Jakobi Meyers Totals 38 Yards In Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught two passes for 38 yards in the team's 30-14 win over the Jets. Meyers was the star of the Patriots training camp but took a backseat after Antonio Brown signed with the team. Now with Brown out of the fold, Meyers is looking at an expanded opportunity […]

Phillip Dorsett Shines Against Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett caught six passes for 53 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown catch in the team's 30-14 win over the Jets in Week 3. With Antonio Brown out of the fold, Dorsett's snaps were on the rise and he delivered. Dorsett ran crisp routes as quarterback Tom Brady targeted him […]

Josh Gordon Leads Patriots With 83 Receiving Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver caught six passes for a team-high 83 receiving yards in the Patriots 30-14 win over the Jets. Gordon got off to a slow start but finished the game with 11 targets and some big-time catches. The talented receiver appeared to injure his hand in the second half but came back […]

Rex Burkhead Rushes For Touchdown In Week 3 Win

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead led the team with 11 carries for 47 yards and one touchdown in the team's 30-14 victory over the Jets. Burkhead also added six catches for 22 yards and is earning more snaps by the week. The Patriots offense has leaned heavily on the arm of Tom Brady […]

Sony Michel Disappoints Despite Early Score

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball nine times for only 11 yards with one touchdown in the team's 30-14 win over the Jets in Week 3. Fantasy owners certainly became excited when Michel scored on the Patriots first possession but mostly disappeared from the game plan after that. Michel remains the […]

Tom Brady Throws For 306 Yards In Easy Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 28-of-42 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots convincing 30-14 win over the Jets. Brady now has multiple touchdown passes in each of his first three games this season after another sharp performance. The Patriots built an early lead but that did not prevent their […]

Julian Edelman Leaves Games

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) left Sunday's game against the New York Jets, holding the area after getting tackled late in the second quarter. Though he is questionable to return, it would be surprising to see him back on the field in Week 3.

Damien Harris Set To Make NFL Debut

After being a healthy scratch through the first two weeks of the season, New England Patriots rookie running back Damien Harris will make his NFL debut on Sunday with James White (personal) out. Harris isn't likely to see enough snaps to be fantasy relevant this week, but if he looks good in his limited role […]

James White Inactive For Week 3

New England Patriots running back James White (personal) won't play in Week 3 when the Patriots meet the Jets as he awaits the birth of his child. With White out, expect a healthy dose of Sony Michel on early downs and Rex Burkhead on passing downs. Michel in particular should see a ton of work […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After Week 1 saw defenses slow down rusty offenses, Week 2 had the offenses flipping the script. Offenses were scoring touchdowns and moving the ball with much more success. In Week 3, that trend is likely going to continue. Offenses are getting more in sync especially when it comes to quarterbacks. Several starting NFL quarterbacks […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]
