Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Last week was perhaps the best in the history of this column. The six rookies featured here for Week 5 averaged 23.48 PPR points. Most notably, Giants... Read More
NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets and Avoids
By the growing weeks, football is becoming more like a video game. The deep passing attacks, defenses having such trouble to get a stop, and coaches going for it more and more often on fourth down. Chargers head coach Brandon Staley went for it with 10:34 to go in the third quarter. It was a... Read More

Week 6 has Atlanta, New Orleans, San Francisco, and the New York Jets on bye, while star players like Christian McCaffery and Nick Chubb have already been ruled out... Read More
Week 6 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint
Welcome back RotoBallers! As we head into Week 6 of the NFL season, we are approaching the time where getting off to a slow start can cross the line and get into "I may be digging too deep of a hole to climb out of " territory. It's more critical than ever to make the... Read More
Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 6 Lineups
If Week 5 in the NFL taught us anything, it's just how much of a guessing game that fantasy football will continue to be. Of course, there are those easy-to-make calls in your starting lineups. But it's the performances that come from out of nowhere that can leave fantasy managers second-guessing their decision-making. Just take... Read More
Ricky Seals-Jones Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
I am falling in love with this play as the week rolls along. RSJ is dirt cheap and has a major opportunity to make some noise this week as this Washington-KC game could absolutely go nuclear. We saw him targeted nine times last week by Heinicke in his first start of the season, catching five... Read More
Dan Arnold Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
Arnold has seemed to find a nice home very quickly with the Jaguars as he has taken hold of the starting TE job for the team that has been in dire need of one for years. He will be looking to continue the momentum from last week where he saw eight targets and finished with... Read More
Robert Tonyan Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
We all knew a regression from 2020 was due to happen for Tonyan. But to completely disappear from the Packers' offense entirely was unexpected. Through five games, he has just nine receptions, leading to a lowly 4.6 FPPG and landing him at 37th at the position. There are some silver linings to Tonyan as he... Read More
Mark Andrews - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook
We finally got the eruption game from Andrews last week as he posted 11 catches for 147 yards and two scores while being targeted 13 times by Lamar Jackson on Monday night. I don't think it's chasing points this week to go back to the well on Andrews as he had already been trending up before that... Read More
Trade your Studs?
I debated writing this article and risking my reputation as a super famous sportswriter by suggesting such a controversial strategy. But then I realized without risk, like grabbing Ja’Marr Chase in the sixth round, there is no glory. Back to the topic at hand, I will pose this question, “Is depth more valuable than star players...

David Njoku - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook
Njoku is in for an extremely tough matchup with the Arizona Cardinals defense, which has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends. In an extremely thin position, fantasy managers could go out and start chasing points after his explosion in Week 5 against the Chargers. He caught all seven of his targets... Read More

The trade market is heating up in many fantasy football leagues entering Week 6. While trade strategy varies widely depending on league size and individual team needs, we will do our best as always to identify some players who are ideal targets in the current market. We will again focus on three players that should... Read More
Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders
Through five weeks of the NFL, fantasy managers have had to deal with an ever-changing top-10 at the tight end position. It's really not anything new if you've been playing fantasy football longer than... well, yesterday. This position has long been one with a lot of turnover and very few consistent options on a week-to-week... Read More

The NFL season is rolling, and we cannot waste our opportunity to make some cash. Tonight, we kick off Week 6 with the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On MKF, there are no massive tournaments where you have to get ridiculously lucky just to cash. You're just playing against the house, and the... Read More
Thursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Bucs vs Eagles
I feel like we all need a quick breather after Week 5. Last week had monster fantasy games, devastating injuries, and dramatic finishes. And the best part, there’s no time to take a breather as we have a huge Thursday Night game this week. Last week, we had eight running backs rush for 100+ yards,... Read More
Coaches on the Hot Seat - Fantasy Implications
The first NFL head coach who didn't make it through the 2021 season was Jon Gruden, although not at all for reasons anyone would have anticipated (except Keyshawn Johnson). The Gruden story alludes to a larger problem within the league and society as a whole but this piece isn't meant to serve as a platform... Read More
Fantasy Football Warning Signals For Week 6
Analyzing the trends every week will keep fantasy managers up to date on which players are on the rise or which ones are falling off. The clues can be subtle, but all it takes is a few good games before a player becomes one of the hottest commodities in fantasy. The same could be said... Read More
NFL's Most Concentrated Offenses
Volume is the most important component of fantasy scoring. We have seen time and time again a freak athlete failing to put up fantasy points because he just can't get the ball in his hands. Picking your fantasy players from teams that are known to depend on a small number of players to move the... Read More
Hunter Henry (TE, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's start in reverse order. Jonnu Smith has played more than 50% of the Patriots' offensive snaps in just two games this season, including last Sunday's, though he only got 5+ targets in one of those and this last weekend those dropped...

Early-Season Fantasy Outliers to Forget?
We are now five weeks into the 2021 NFL campaign. Teams are starting to stand out while others look like they should be jockeying for draft positions--already. The 2021 season has been off to a rousing start and Week 1 feels so far back in the rearview mirror. Oftentimes, Week 1 is more of an... Read More
Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 5
Another week gone and now we are really into the thick of it. We are deep enough into the season now for your team's playoffs hope to be dashed already, but since you're here I'm assuming that doesn't apply to you. We are really seeing the injuries pile up now and the waiver wire is... Read More
Offensive Outliers From Week 5 - Coaching Matters
We now enter the fifth week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 5, we saw stat lines such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wide receivers combining for 349 receiving yards, the San Francisco 49ers' tight ends combining... Read More
Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?
Week 5 of the NFL season is now in the books and as expected Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady, Josh Allen and Dak Prescott finished as QB1's. On the unexpected side of things Davis Mills shocked the world and threw for three touchdowns against the Patriots to finish as QB-6 and Jameis Winston carved up Washington for four... Read More
