Sleeping in Seattle - Is Russell Wilson No Longer a QB1? rotoballer.com Fri 9/21/18 10:27 AM
The thing about writing a "bold predictions" article is that you're essentially going 20 percent on data and 80 percent on gut instincts, so when I wrote a few weeks ago that Russell Wilson would finish outside of the top 10 at the quarterback position I definitely felt like there was a chance of it happening, but I wouldn't have put money on it.
Well... Week 3 is here and Russell Wilson might not be a fantasy QB1 anymore. While it sounds absurd after Wilson finished as the overall QB1 last y[...]
Doug Baldwin, K.J. Wright Not At Practice rotoballer.com Wed 9/19/18 8:06 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Baldwin is highly doubtful to return this week, and he might be unlikely to play in Week 4 as well. He should remain stashed in all leagues, though, as he'll be the top receiver when he returns. Seattle's defense could really use Wright back, but the good news is that they're expected to get linebacker Bobby Wagner (groin) back for Week 3 against the Cowboys. [...]
Doug Baldwin Unlikely To Play In Week 3 rotoballer.com Tue 9/18/18 3:46 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is still a ways away from returning, according to head coach Pete Carroll. During a radio interview on Tuesday, Carroll said that while linebackers Bobby Wagner and KJ Wright were close to coming back and might be able to play against Dallas in Week 3, Baldwin was a bit behind those guys. With his attitude of them being questionable, that would make it highly unlikely that Baldwin plays in Week 3. [...]

The New Generation of Tight Ends rotoballer.com Sat 9/15/18 12:00 PM
In Week 1 every year, there seems to be a new wave of players that no one has heard of before, making a splash for their team and immediately becoming relevant in the world of fantasy football. Finding that next waiver pickup or sleeper a week before the rest of your league is a great feeling. You're able to say that you had the scoop before anyone else.
The start to the 2018 season is no different, as we saw plenty of big name players go down with injuries. Some are out an unspecified amount o[...]
Inside the Tent - Week 2 NFL Injury Insight rotoballer.com Sat 9/15/18 7:00 AM
Well, well, well, Week 1 sure was a whirlwind. If the entire 2018 season is anything like Week 1, we're in for a good one ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, some fantasy-relevant players were banged up and fantasy owners suffered as a result. With that being said, if the season is indeed like Week 1, then you'll definitely want to check this column to see how your fantasy stars are recovering from their injuries.
At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuri[...]
Seahawks Secondary Could Be Vulnerable rotoballer.com Sat 9/15/18 12:09 AM
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin (thigh) was added to the injury report on Friday with a thigh injury and didn't practice. Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (groin) also sat out the second straight day with a groin issue. Also, guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring), linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) and wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) seem unlikely to play on Monday against the Bears. [...]
Wide Receiver Depth Chart Changes - Week 2 rotoballer.com Fri 9/14/18 1:00 PM
There are a number of reasons for wide receiver depth chart changes, and they aren't always neat and logical. However, after Week 1 things did break down fairly easily in terms of moves up and down depth charts.
As a result, the analysis in this article will be broken into three major sections. First, is the practical depth chart that we saw based on Week 1 snap count and targets. Second, we will work through injuries that could affect depth charts in Week 2. Finally, we'll take a look at ho[...]
Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks rotoballer.com Fri 9/14/18 12:10 PM
I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a recommendation for Chris Godwin as a Week 10 streamer:
"You know, Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't terrible... *ducks under desk
Disgruntled Jets fans have cast him aside long ago, but for a backup QB h[...]
Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. ECR rotoballer.com Fri 9/14/18 12:05 PM
Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. I did decently in Week 1, scoring 29th out of ~130 experts, but if I'm going to beat my 9th place finish from '17 then I've got work to do!
I'll be examining my own ranks against the ECR on a position-by-position basis, as the overall and flex tabs can simply get insane with every position folded in with [...]
