NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/15/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

The natural inclination after Week One of the NFL season is to react to the on-field information that was presented by the first games of the season. The challenge for statistical evaluation is that one game is a small sample any way you slice it. For example, how much weight to you put to the […]

Fantasy Football IDP Rankings for Week 2 (Top 100)

The serious fantasy footballer knows that the game isn't played on offense alone. While team defenses are a staple of the game, being able to identify value with individual defensive players (IDP) takes it to the next level. As we do with each position and every league type possible, RotoBaller has you covered when it […]

Cody Latimer Questionable For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) and rookie Darius Slayton (hamstring) already ruled out, the Giants could be down to Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and Cody Core against a stout Buffalo pass defense this weekend. Even if Latimer ends […]

Sterling Shepard Ruled Out Against Buffalo

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Bills. That was the expectation, as Shepard had yet to be cleared to practice this week. With Golden Tate still serving a suspension and now Shepard ruled out, the G-Men will likely use Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and […]

Sterling Shepard, Cody Latimer Miss Practice

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Cody Latimer (calf) both missed practice on Thursday. As things stand now, it's not looking good for Shepard's chances of suiting up in Week 2 in a very difficult matchup against the Bills. With Latimer also questionable to play, the G-Men may be sending out Bennie […]

NFL NextGen Stats Analysis: Week 1 Takeaways - Air Yards

We made it! We wagered through a long and tedious preseason but real football hit us in the forehead for the first time this season during the past few days and change. But just as soon as it came, it went. The first week of the season is over and we have some tasty numbers […]

Warning Signs: Week 1 Review

Obviously, we cannot overreact too much to Week 1 of the football season. This said, the first installment of this series may be a little shorter than normal. Just because Mitchell Trubisky looks bad as a quarterback doesn’t mean you should drop him now and find someone else. So what if the Dolphins gave up […]

T.J. Jones Re-Signed By The Giants

The New York Giants brought back wide receiver T.J. Jones, who was one of the final cuts at the end of the preseason. While the addition of Jones himself isn't noteworthy for fantasy purposes, his presence might be a sign that the Giants don't expect Sterling Shepard to clear the concussion protocol before Sunday's game. […]

Sterling Shepard In Good Spirits

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) is on the field going through protocol steps on Wednesday and looks to be in good spirits. Shepard might be limited in practice, at best, but it's a good sign for his availability in Week 2 against the Bills. Even if Shepard plays, though, he'll be more […]

Giants Defense Gets Good Matchup In Week 2

The New York Giants Defense will be in a good matchup on Sunday against the Bills, who committed four turnovers last week against the New York Jets. The Giants weren’t able to get any pressure on Dak Prescott, so their sack totals might be low against an elusive Josh Allen. However, Allen is prone to […]

Bennie Fowler Could Feature In Good Matchup

New York Giants slot receiver Bennie Fowler could have sneaky value on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Bills nickel cornerback Taron Johnson hurt his hamstring during last week’s game, and Jamison Crowder went wild, catching 17 passes in the slot -- 10 of them after Johnson exited the game. If Johnson isn’t able to go […]

Cody Latimer Likely To Start on Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer may be elevated to the team’s top receiver on Sunday if Sterling Shepard is unable to recover from his concussion in time. However, that may not be great news, as the Buffalo Bills would likely cover him with top cornerback Tre'Davious White, who held Robby Anderson to three […]

Saquon Barkley Gets Another Challenge on Sunday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is in for another stiff test against the Buffalo Bills run defense that held Le'Veon Bell and the Jets to 68 rushing yards on 3.2 yards per carry. However, Barkley will clearly be a fixture in the Giants offense, as evidenced by his 119 rushing yards against a […]

Eli Manning In Another Tough Spot In Week 2

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is in for a tough day against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday after the Bills held Jets quarterback Sam Darnold to 175 yards passing on only 4.3 yards per completion. It’s hard to expect much better from Manning, especially if his top wide receiver, Sterling Shepard, is unable to […]

Evan Engram Figures To Be Giants Top Option In Week 2

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is in for another heavy workload as the Giants face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Engram was in on 76% of the Giants offensive snaps, ran routes on 82% of quarterback Eli Manning's dropbacks and saw 29% of the team's targets, the highest on the team by far. […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 2

Each week in this column, we'll highlight a few first-year players who are worth keeping your eye on. Not all of the players listed below are must-starts, but all of them are in a position to be viable fantasy options. If any of these names are sitting out on your waiver wire, you should keep […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

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. […]

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Well, an exciting Week 1 is almost in the books, with just two Monday night games left on the docket. Sunday was a day of surprising performances, headlined by Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown catching a pair of deep touchdowns. Welcome to RotoBaller's NFL wide receiver waiver wire article. Let's try to make […]

Week 2 Deeper League Waiver Pickups

The aftermath of Week 1 is generally one of the most important weeks to utilize the waiver wire. Even in deeper leagues, where there aren't as many obvious players to scoop up. Each week, we will advise you which players to snatch up from waivers in your deeper leagues. These players are owned in approximately […]

T.J. Hockenson: Your New Dynasty TE1

It certainly didn’t take long for rookie first-round pick T.J. Hockenson to make his presence known in Detroit. Selected eighth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, Hockenson was one of the catalysts to Detroit’s offense in Week 1, catching six passes for 131 yards and a touchdown. He led the team in receiving yards and […]

Sterling Shepard May Have Concussion

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Sterling Shepard (head) "may be dealing with a concussion." The team will likely put him through the concussion protocol this week, and we won't have an idea of whether he'll suit up in Week 2 against the Bills until his practice status is released […]

Giants Defense Gashed By Cowboys

The New York Giants Defense looked like the same mediocre unit we saw for much of last year in their 35-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. With the Cowboys still easing running back Ezekiel Elliott back into action, they turned to quarterback Dak Prescott, who responded by throwing for 405 yards and four TDs against the […]

Aldrick Rosas Makes Only Field Goal

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas wasn’t asked to do much on Sunday, but he did everything that was asked of him. He drilled his only attempt from 28 yards away and made both extra points. The Giants aren’t a dynamic offense, but they may score a lot of garbage-time points, as they figure to […]

Cody Latimer Heavily Involved in Giants Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer was the team's second leading receiver in the 35-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. While he only caught three passes for 72 yards, he was targeted eight times, which was second on the team behind tight end Evan Engram. More importantly, quarterback Eli Manning looked to Latimer when he […]

Daniel Jones Fumbles In First NFL Game

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones came on for the final drive in relief of Eli Manning, completing three of his four passes before fumbling. Jones is not known for being a dynamic runner and was diving for the first down when the ball was jarred loose, so you have to give him points […]
