Fantasy Football Target Report: Week 10

November 10, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 11 Comments

Taking inventory of target share (TS) and snap share (SS) data is a critical tool to help with start-sit decisions, and provide a framework for buy-low/sell-high trade candidates. Every Wednesday the Target Report will highlight key TS/SS data and takeaways from the weekend. Keep in mind this is one data point to reference when making weekly lineup decisions. Utilizing all of Razzball’s tools will help complete the decisions making process each week. Success in fantasy football is built around opportunity, especially consistent opportunity. Don’t get caught up only chasing fantasy points. Peyton Manning focused more on what happened between endzones versus what transpired on the scoreboard. It is important not to overreact to a poor fantasy outing when the usage is still there. Or overreact to a fantasy explosion for a player that barely found the field or was barely targeted in the game. Trust the data and trust the process…

Fantasy Football Takeaways from Aaron Rodgers’ COVID Revelation

November 10, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 1 Comment

by: keelinbillue

Weeks 8 and 9 of the NFL season provided fantasy football managers with notable revelations regarding Aaron Rodgers and COVID:

Green Packers QB Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19.
Rodgers did not receive the COVID vaccine.

How is Aaron Rodgers' COVID status different from what we have learned about other unvaccinated players?

Although there are NFL players who have shared they are not vaccinated, Aaron Rodgers is a notable departure on how QBs have talked about vaccine status.Quarterbacks that have spoken openly about not having the vaccination, like Carson Wentz (33.9% rostered, 22.2% started in Week 8) and Kirk Cousins (83.7% rostered, 63.9% started in Week 8), are not rostered and started at the same rate as Rodgers. As the most prolific NFL player to share they are not vaccinated and also contract COVID since the vaccine has been available, Rodgers (99.8% rostered and 74.6% started in Week 8) mid-season news sent a shockwave through the fantasy community, especially those who had Rodgers on their

Tuesdays at Razzball Fantasy Football are going to be "lit," as the kids say. Although I'm not sure if the kids put it in quotation marks, I'll have to check in with VH1 on that. Regardless, we have the one and only The Joey Wright leading off every Tuesday morning with his in-depth waiver wire advice column. Then Blair (or JB!) spins his MNF narrative with an eloquent Monday Night Football recap and Paul Blake shares some deep league thoughts. Finally, I'll bring it up the rear with my rest of season rankings broken down by position. Reminder, these rest of season rankings are only a very rough guideline to be used for trade formulation and other roster decisions. These are geared toward half PPR formats and should be adjusted accordingly for your particular league settings. Anyway, here's the updated positional rankings for the rest of the half PPR 2021 fantasy football season:

Dynasty League Fantasy Football Wavier Wire Adds, Week 10

November 9, 2021 | Dynasty Leagues | 7 Comments

by: Paul Blake

Last week's waiver wire offered a cornucopia of claims to eat up. Unfortunately, this week's waiver wire is less fruitful. However, I have found what might be a few treats at Runningback, a starchy Quarterback, and some high-calorie Wide Receivers. The pickings may be meager, but they offer solid sustenance. Dig in!

Fantasy Football Podcast: Meet Me Half Way With Steve Paulo

November 9, 2021 | Fantasy Football Podcast |

by: B_Don

As we move from the half way mark of the season, B_Don has another guest, Steve Paulo, on to discuss week 9. We start with the Arizona Cardinals offense as we wait for word on Kyler Murray and with Chase Edmonds set to miss a few weeks. Next, the 2 talk about a couple of top RBs for the ROS in Joe Mixon and Christian McCaffrey.

B_Don moves the topic to Steve's favorite team, the 49ers, as he asks about Brandon Aiyuk, and the 49ers RB situation between Elijah Mitchell and Jeff Wilson. One of the teams that can give both Bears and 49ers fans hope, is the Jets. They have a QB controversy and Elijah Moore may be developing in front of our eyes. We compare Elijah to other WRs for redraft and dynasty. We wrap up with everyone's favorite segment, A$$hole of the Week!

Fields of Gold: Monday Night Football Recap

November 9, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Football | 6 Comments

Before the musician Sting spent his free-time digging Bart Simpson out of a well and having tantric Tex Mex -- which from what I understand is when you start eating at a buffet and they don't give you a time limit -- he wrote a little ditty called Fields of Gold. Ostensibly it was a song of maturation and memory, but I prefer an alternate history: he was preparing the theme song for Justin Fields. Imagine sampling Fields of Gold like P.Diddy did Every Breath You Take, and then letting Donkey Teeth rap over that while you watch Justin Fields highlights. Now that's a Monday Night! Let's see what happened on Monday Night Football:

Wright on Waivers: Week Ten

November 9, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy, Waiver Wire | 42 Comments

by: thejoeywright

One of my favorite movie theater experiences came during my freshman year in college at my local art house cinema. I had never seen a David Lynch film before but heard good things about him. All I really knew is he made Twin Peaks, a tv show with the most nightmare inducing theme song. In hindsight, maybe Mulholland Dr. was not the best foray into his catalog. While it is now one of my favorite films, I left the theater confused and doubting my own intelligence. I went back the next night and it started to become clearer. It was the first movie where the audience stayed around after and discussed “what it all meant.” Sometimes NFL weeks can feel a mess and make absolutely no sense. They hit you like a ton of bricks and require more than the usual analysis. This past week felt like one of those weeks, but through the madness and riddles, a few bright lights shone through all the way to the waiver wire.

Week 9 was a busy news week in the NFL between the fatal car crash and all the vaccination/immunization drama. Too serious for me. Can't we just go back to the Antonio Brown drama days? I mean the helmet and frozen foot drama days, before the rape accusation stuff. Boy, the NFL could really use some positive publicity. Or at least some more negative publicity that I can make jokes about! Know what else isn't a joking matter? Buying Mike Williams! It's gone under the news radar between all the other NFL injuries, the Gruden email scandal, Vaccine-gate, Ruggs' downfall, etc.—but Williams has been nursing a sore knee for the past three games. Coincidentally, he's had a total of only 6 receptions for 104 yards and no touchdowns during that stretch. When I click on the little news sticky note next to Big Mike's name over on Yahoo? No mention of any knee issues. Rotoworld? No news updates since October 17th when "Williams did not practice this week but is going to push through the knee injury anyway." I don't think this is a coincidence. Williams has disappointed ever since the knee injury, and yet his fantasy owner may have no idea of the correlation due to the reporting gap. When healthy, he's proven his elite WR1 upside with Herbert; see if you can steal him away at a bargain price. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy football:

Friends, it's OK to cry. A lot of us are broken after this week, and -- let's be fair -- our fantasy football therapists are going to get a lot of work. Here's a quick primer of things to say: "I should have started Colt McCoy," or, "LeVeon Bell daggered my team," or, "The Jags out-field-goaled the Bills." I mean, these are the weeks that enrich those contrarian players and line their pockets with enough gold for a season. Let's check in on the scores and stats that wrecked us in week 9 of fantasy football:

Sunday morning has arrived and you spent all weekend on a drinking binge? Or worse (maybe better?), you've been up for 48 hours on six different types of drugs? Fear not, Razzball has all of your last-minute fantasy football needs covered. Over the past two days, Bobby has covered the best defensive matchups this week for both Wide Outs and Slot Receivers. Yesterday Skorish went through every fantasy-relevant injury to keep an eye on in his weekly Fantasy Football Injury Report. Down below I'll give you some sneaky start options who might be available in your free agent pool if you're in a bind, as well as my recently updated week 9 rankings for half PPR leagues. Feel free to ask me questions in the comments if you think the rankings don't address your specific circumstances. And please, please, please consider purchasing our 2021 fantasy football tools subscription. As intelligent and handsome as we all agree I am, my rankings are still packed full of bias and human error. Rudy's computer model minimizes the human inputs and leans heavily on raw, untainted data inputs to provide a very valuable, differing viewpoint. Plus you receive all kinds of other benefits with your subscription including next-day snap count and target rate data. Anyway, here's a few sneaky starts for week 9 of the 2021 fantasy football season:

The goal of this article is to find WRs to fade and buy based on how many fantasy points their opponent allows in the slot vs. out wide. In today’s article we will review the key out wide matchups for week 9. To keep up with the latest defensive trends we updated the analysis to only include the last 5 weeks.

The below chart breaks down where each team allows their fantasy points to WRs and is listed from the most to the least amount of fantasy points allowed out wide over the past 5 weeks.

RazzBowl Update: Week 9

The games of Week 9 are upon us, people! In fact, considering I'm writing this on Friday, Week 9 has already begun with what turned into a real barn burner between the Jets and Colts. And as an Elijah Moore owner, I for one welcome our new Thursday Night Football offensive explosion overlords. Let's dive in to the state of the RazzBowl as of the games of Week 8, so not including my awesome Elijah Moore / Ty Johnson performances!
