Bengals Look To Trade John Ross

After a pair of disappointing seasons to open his career, the Cincinnati Bengals are currently shopping wide receiver John Ross. Ross caught 21 balls for 210 yards and seven touchdowns last season, but he hauled in just 36.2 percent of his total targets. While the touchdown numbers were impressive and suggest plenty of upside, Ross […]

Greg Olsen Offered Multiple Television Jobs

Coming off a season in which injuries limited him to just nine games after playing just seven in 2017, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen faces an interesting conundrum this offseason as both ESPN and Fox have approached him about leaving the NFL to do television work. The New York Post reports that Olsen is […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: James Harden Didn't Score 30 Points!

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. The big news last night? James Harden's streak of 30-point games ended at 32 games. With a more well-rounded Rockets team existing now with both Clint Capela and Chris Paul healthy, some of […]

Marquese Chriss (PF/C, CLE) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: You'd be forgiven for not wanting Marquese Chriss on your fantasy team. His NBA career has been wildly disappointing since the Suns made him the eighth pick in 2016. He struggled through two seasons in Phoenix where the team gave him plenty of […]

Landry Shamet (PG, LAC) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: With the glut of guards that the Clippers had when this season opened, I don't think anyone expected that a rookie they'd acquire via trade at the deadline would end up playing almost 30 minutes per game for them, but that's just what's […]

Boban Marjanovic (C, PHI) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues, Stream In Shallower Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's Boban's world, and we're just living in it. As someone who watches a lot of 76ers games, I was skeptical of the trade that brought center Boban Marjanovic to Philadelphia. Sure, the Sixers got Tobias Harris, but they […]

Here at RotoBaller, we're looking back at the seasons from some of the league's under-the-radar rookies and discussing their future in dynasty leagues. Today, I'm looking at 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis. Pettis entered his rookie season third on the 49ers depth chart, but injuries and other issues helped him rise to the top of […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

The NBA's trade deadline changed a lot of things up this week around the league, so this week's waiver wire pickup is going to be reflective of a lot of that change, highlighting guys in new spots or guys whose spot on the depth chart has increased since Thursday. We don't have a ton of […]

James Harden Scores 42 Points Against Thunder

Houston Rockets guard James Harden stretched his streak of 30-point games to 29 in Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 42 points on 11-for-28 shooting to go along with two rebounds and an assist. Chris Paul's return hasn't hurt Harden's scoring, though we're seeing more of Paul as the ball-handler, cutting down […]

Russell Westbrook Records Triple-Double Against Houston

Another day, another triple-double for Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. The former MVP has taken a bit of a backseat as a scoring option with Paul George taking a leap this season, but Westbrook remains a strong fantasy option because of nights like Saturday's win over the Rockets. In that game, Westbrook finished […]

Paul George Scores 45 Points Against Rockets

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George scored 45 points on 12-for-22 shooting in Saturday's win over the Houston Rockets. George also added 11 rebounds and three assists and connected on 15 of his 18 free throw attempts. George is averaging a career-high 28.3 points per game this season for the Thunder, and has averaged 38.2 […]

NBA Trade Deadline 2019: Fantasy Risers and Fallers

Well, that was a trade deadline! I'm not sure I can remember a time when more deals happened, and while the big news of the day is probably a trade that didn't happen -- Anthony Davis remains a Pelican -- there's still a lot to discuss. Let's look at the players whose fantasy stocks are […]

Caris LeVert Provides Spark In Return

The Brooklyn Nets didn't manage to beat the Chicago Bulls on Friday, but they did get solid minutes from shooting guard Caris Levert, who made his return after suffering a dislocated foot back in November. LeVert scored 11 points on 5-for-11 shooting and recorded five steals as well as four assists and a pair of […]

D'Angelo Russell Scores 23 Points, Struggles From Deep

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell scored 23 points on 8-for-21 shooting in Friday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. He added six assists as well, but was just 1-for-8 from deep. The All-Star has been a key scoring option for the Nets as of late, and Caris Levert's return from a foot injury that had […]

Otto Porter Scores 18 Points In Bulls Debut

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter made his Bulls debut in Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 18 points on 7-for-9 shooting to go along with four rebounds and an assist. While the scoring numbers surpass Porter's usual output, it's worth noting that he did so on Friday because of efficiency, not an increase in […]

Lauri Markkanen Scores 31 Points Against Nets

Chicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen scored 31 points on 11-for-18 shooting in Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He also added 18 rebounds. With Bobby Portis gone and Wendell Carter Jr. out, Markkanen becomes an even more important piece of this Bulls frontcourt, and he'll have a good chance to put up strong fantasy […]

Russell Westbrook Records Triple-Double Against Memphis

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook doesn't have to worry about changing his game after Thursday's trade deadline, as the Thunder opted to keep the current roster together. That's good news for fantasy owners, as Westbrook remains a top option thanks to his ability to hit the boards and pass. On Thursday against Memphis, […]

Mike Conley Struggles With Shot Against Thunder

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley wasn't dealt at Thursday's trade deadline, a bit of a surprise after his name had surfaced in trade rumors for weeks. Conley will be a Grizzly for at least the rest of the season, but he'll need to shoot better than his 4-for-15 mark from Thursday's loss to the […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Impresses Against Thunder

Memphis Grizzlies power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 27 points on 12-for-18 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He also added seven rebounds and a pair of steals. The Grizzlies shipped both Marc Gasol and JaMychal Green away during Thursday's trade deadline, opening up more of a key role for Jackson in […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Giannis and Harden, Again!

Not to get too existential here, but is there ever going to be a time when I open up RotoBaller, head to the "new post" section on a Monday night, and don't end up forced to write about how James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo are insanely talented basketball players who exist in a plane above […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/3/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Way Too Early Mock Draft - Round 1 Analysis

Is there such a thing as "too early" when it comes to mock drafting for next year in fantasy football? No! I mean, mock drafting before the season even ends is maybe too early, but January isn't, which is why we here at RotoBaller decided to get together and do our Way Too Early Mock Draft […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/26/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Saturday's NBA lineup features five games of NBA action, but they're some good ones! We get a Celtics/Warriors battle that would have been a Finals preview before Kawhi joined the Raptors, a 76ers/Nuggets game that...is actually not going to be great since Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler are out (or probably out, in Butler's case, […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: JAH!!!!!

When Will They Be Back: On Long Term Injuries In Fantasy Basketball
