Zane Gonzalez Not A Start
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez has lost most of his fantasy appeal in recent weeks. He isn't likely to get it back against the Cleveland Browns. They have allowed opposing kickers to go 7-for-10 in field goals and 9-for-9 in extra points. Gonzalez is lacking the upside to use him in the tough matchup.
Christian Kirk A PPR Flex Option
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk balled out with a three-touchdown game a month ago, but he has slowed since. He has averaged 5.7 catches for 49.7 receiving yards and no touchdowns per game the last three games. He catches enough to be used in point-per-reception formats, but his yardage and touchdown output is suspect... Read More
David Johnson Shouldn't See Lineups
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson came through with a receiving touchdown last week in his first visit to the end zone in nearly two months. Running back Kenyan Drake has really diminished Johnson's role. Johnson has rushed for just 36 yards on 12 carries (3.0 yards per rush) with five catches for 51 yards... Read More
Kenyan Drake A Flex Option
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake struggled the last four games after his breakthrough debut with the team. He rushed 50 times for 170 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and no touchdowns during the stretch. One small saving grace in point-per-reception formats is his 17 catches for a meager 69 yards. Those 17 points help... Read More
Kyler Murray A Roll Of The Dice
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been spotty of late, and his matchup against the Cleveland Browns isn't a particularly good one. Murray has averaged 207.8 yards, 1.8 passing touchdowns, 1.3 interceptions, 33.8 rushing yards and 0.5 rushing touchdowns per game over the last five weeks. Meanwhile, the Browns have allowed 235 passing yards, 0.8... Read More

Welcome to RotoBaller's weekly dynasty league rundown! Dynasty leagues are becoming more and more popular, and we're here to keep you ahead of the game. Each week, we'll touch on topics and players that may not necessarily be relevant in single-year formats, but they can make a splash in keeper leagues. With that being said,... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Injury News - Lineup Updates for Week 8
Welcome to RotoBaller's weekly injury room report. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, but we have you covered when the injury bug bites. We'll discuss who is on the mend and who will benefit from the player's absence. The next up-and-coming gem could be waiting on the waiver wire ready for your claim.... Read More
Aaron Donald Reaches The Quarterback
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had two tackles (one solo), 1.5 sacks and a pass defense in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. He faces the stout Dallas Cowboys offensive line next week, and he's probably not worth starting.
Rams Defense Solid In Week 14
The Los Angeles Rams Defense tallied five sacks and one interception while allowing 12 points to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. The Rams are a so-so defense, and they don't have a great matchup against the Dallas Cowboys next week. You should look for a one-week play and send them to waivers for Week... Read More
Greg Zuerlein Quiet In Week 14
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein missed his only field goal attempt in Week 14 and nailed all four extra points. Zuerlein isn't as good of an option as he has been in recent years because of the inconsistency on offense. He'll be a low-end option against the Dallas Cowboys next week.
Tyler Higbee Stands Out Again
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had seven receptions for a team-high 116 yards against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. His 11 targets were most on the team. Higbee looks the part right now with tight end Gerald Everett (knee) banged up, and he could keep the lion's share of the targets when... Read More
Brandin Cooks Not Involved
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks had no catches on two targets in Week 14. Cooks has shriveled in the game plan since he returned from a concussion, and he can't be used in fantasy right now.
Robert Woods Continues Hot Streak
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had seven receptions for 98 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Week 14. He was second on the team with nine targets. Woods is averaging 8.3 receptions for 115.5 yards per game over the last four weeks, and he has elevated to a low-end WR2... Read More
Cooper Kupp Finds Pay Dirt
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught four receptions for 45 yards, but he salvaged his night with a touchdown. Kupp is a lot more dependent on touchdowns recently because he isn't seeing nearly as many balls his way. He's a high-end WR2 option and will be such against the Dallas Cowboys next week.
Malcolm Brown Sneaks In Touchdown
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed two times for one yard, and that one yard amounted into a touchdown. Brown doesn't see enough work to trust in fantasy, but he should be handcuffed to running back Todd Gurley.
Jared Goff Has So-So Night
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff went 22-for-31 for 293 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday night. It was enough to get the 28-12 victory and stay alive in the playoff chase. The offense was efficient as they also rushed for 162 yards. Goff will have a midrange matchup against... Read More
Budda Baker Leads In Tackles
Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker had eight tackles (seven solo) in Week 14 to lead the team. He is a must-start defensive back right now because of the slew of tackles he's posting. He'll be another solid start next week against the Cleveland Browns.
Chandler Jones Has Solid Day
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones had five solo tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a pass defense in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones relies heavily on sacks, but he is a low-end LB1 option right now. He will be such against the Cleveland Browns next week.
Zane Gonzalez Quiet
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez made a 30-yard field goal and both extra points in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The offense isn't providing him enough opportunities to be worthy of a roster spot in fantasy.
Christian Kirk Has Solid Day
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk caught eight balls for 85 yards on nine targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kirk was quiet in the previous two games, and this performance was a good bounce back to pave the way for the final three games. Kirk is a WR3 in point-per-reception formats that will have peaks... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Does Little In Week 14
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught just three passes for 20 yards in Week 14. He was second on the team with seven targets, but he was unable to make his mark. Fitz is a lackluster WR3 option the rest of the way against the Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams.
David Johnson Scores
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed three times for 19 yards and caught two receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 14. He did almost as much with his five touches as running back Kenyan Drake did with his 14. With Drake struggling to make an impact, Johnson could see more touches... Read More
Kenyan Drake Scuffles
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake rushed 11 times for 37 yards and caught three balls for 30 yards in Week 14. He's still receiving twice as many touches as running back David Johnson, but he's not doing much with them. Johnson caught a touchdown pass this week, and there's a big enough sample size... Read More
Kyler Murray Struggles
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 20-for-30 for 194 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. The third pick came late in the fourth quarter to ice the game for Pittsburgh. He was sacked five times and led the league in sacks taken entering the game. Murray faces the Cleveland Browns,... Read More
Aaron Donald Should Be In There
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald broke free for 1.5 sacks against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. He now has sacks in six of the last seven games, and the Seattle Seahawks have allowed 16 in the last four. Donald won't offer much outside of that category, but he is a low-end DL1... Read More
Rams Defense A Solid Start
The Los Angeles Rams Defense has been stout of late with 15 sacks, two fumble recoveries, two picks, a safety and two touchdowns in the last four games. The Seattle Seahawks have allowed opposing defenses the most fantasy points over the last five weeks. They've surrendered two touchdowns, 16 sacks, six fumble recoveries and three... Read More
Greg Zuerlein A Risky Play
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein hasn't had a lot of opportunities lately. He's 6-for-8 in field goals and 7-for-7 in extra points the last four games. The Seattle Seahawks are a midrange matchup, and he's a sketchy low-end kicker this week.
Brandin Cooks Not A Wise Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has caught four passes for 56 yards in two games since returning from a concussion. He's still worth holding onto, but he can't be played against the Seattle Seahawks this week.
Robert Woods A WR3 Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had his second 13-catch game of the season last week. In those two games, he has 26 grabs for 336 yards. In the other nine games, he has just 38 catches for 499 yards, and he hasn't scored a touchdown all season. The Seattle Seahawks provide a midrange... Read More
Cooper Kupp A Great WR2 Option
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp got back on track against the Arizona Cardinals after two clunker weeks. Kupp's problem is that he has had a few massive games and a few invisible games. Which Kupp you'll get on a weekly basis is unknown. Quarterback Jared Goff has really connected with Robert Woods and... Read More
