Take a Flier on Albert Wilson

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The second-year Chiefs wideout put together his finest outing of the season Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, catching four passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Albert Wilson is hardly overtaking Jeremy Maclin or tight end Travis Kelce in the pass-catching pecking […]

Javontee Herndon Is Worth Monitoring

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Javontee Herndon is the Chargers wideout that offers the most upside. His five receptions in Sunday's loss trailed only tight end Antonio Gates. In fact, Philip Rivers targeted wide receivers on 18 of his 43 attempts -- nine to Malcom Floyd, seven to Herndon and […]

Seth Roberts Continues to Find the End Zone

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Oakland Raiders' passing attack is very much still a two-man show starring Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, but Roberts has quietly carved out a niche as the number three wideout. Though he finished with just two catches for 20 yards in Sunday's […]

Jermaine Kearse Is a Solid Plan B Wideout

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jermaine Kearse is the third option in Seattle's passing attack behind Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, but the third option in the league's hottest offense is still plenty valuable. Kearse caught seven passes for 74 yards in Sunday's rout of the Baltimore Ravens. […]

Don't Forget About Malcom Floyd

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The veteran Chargers wideout offers little upside at this stage of his career, but the state of San Diego's offense is certainly helping his value. Floyd was targeted a team-high nine times in Sunday's loss to division rival Kansas City. However, he only […]

Nelson Agholor Getting More Looks in Philly

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a disappointing rookie season for the Eagles' first-round pick, but Nelson Agholor flashed his raw talent and potential in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. Agholor finished with three catches for 62 yards, including a highlight reel-worthy 53-yard touchdown. Philadelphia's offense […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 15: Willie Snead, Jermaine Kearse, Malcom Floyd

It's not normally in our nature here at RotoBaller to toot our own horn, but after watching Sunday's games unfold, well ... beep, beep. In this very same article space last week, we highlighted Carolina's Ted Ginn Jr., Seattle's Tyler Lockett and Cleveland's Brian Hartline as low-owned wide receivers to target on the waiver wire. […]

Week 14 Daily Fantasy Football Stacks: Ben Roethlisberger - Antonio Brown, Andy Dalton - A.J. Green, Blake Bortles - Allen Robinson

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the largest fan bases in all of professional sports, but it's likely they now have one additional life-long supporter after this weekend. Draftkings user "1DontTryThisAtHome" used the popular DFS strategy of stacking to finish first in the weekly Millionaire Maker guaranteed prize pool tournament. In fact, this was stacking to […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 14: Ted Ginn Jr., Dorial Green-Beckham, Tyler Lockett

It's here. Finally. No, not Star Wars: The Force Awakens, nor Christmas, though both are inching closer. The fantasy football postseason is finally here! If you play in season-long redraft leagues, this is what you've been working toward all season. The standard format generally features a 13-week regular season, followed by a three- or four-week playoff bracket […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Could Build off His Breakout Game

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham finally broke out in a big way this past weekend, piling up 119 yards and a touchdown on five catches against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Tennessee Titans' rookie has shown flashes this season, but he posted his first 100-yard game in the back-and-forth […]

Tyler Lockett Has Emerged as a Reliable Weapon

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin was the popular waiver wire pickup this week, coming on the heels of a 145-yard, three-touchdown explosion. Baldwin was great again Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings (94 yards, two touchdowns), but so too was Tyler Lockett, who snagged a career-high seven passes […]

More Injuries Mean More Targets for Keshawn Martin (WR, NE)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin was targeted eight times in Sunday's upset loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but he only caught three passes for a mere 45 yards. He also dropped a pair of passes late in the game. So what's the upside here? Well, he's still a […]

Chris Givens (WR, BAL) Could Thrive in Garbage Time

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As the number three option on a struggling offense led by a backup quarterback, it's tough to recommend Chris Givens for anything but the deepest of leagues. However, he was targeted eight times Sunday, trailing only running back Javorius "Buck" Allen (13) and […]

Brandon Coleman's (WR, NO) Value Hinges on the Health of Others

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Any value Brandon Coleman has moving forward will be exclusively tied to the health of Willie Snead. Coleman finished Sunday's loss to Carolina with four catches for 73 yards and a touchdown with Snead inactive due to a calf injury. Coleman was a popular […]

Ted Ginn (WR, CAR) Has Hit-or-Miss Potential

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Just when you think it's safe to give up on Ted Ginn, the veteran pulls you back in. A week after failing to see even a single target in Carolina's Thanksgiving rout of the Dallas Cowboys, Ginn torched the New Orleans Saints for […]

Brian Hartline (WR, CLE) Has Earned Himself a Major Role in Cleveland

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is certainly not a flashy pick, but it's a relatively safe one, particularly in PPR leagues. Brian Hartline has at least six receptions and 70 yards in each of Cleveland's last three games. Again, hardly flashy, but there's something to be said […]

Week 13 Daily Fantasy Football Stacks: Cam Newton - Greg Olsen, Tom Brady - Danny Amendola, Jay Cutler - Alshon Jeffery

Last week, in this very same weekly piece, we highlighted the perils of stacking in daily fantasy. Poor weeks by Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree in a seemingly ideal matchup against the Detroit Lions derailed countless lineups. Well, Week 12 provided an example of how stacking can win you a million dollars. Draftkings user […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 13: Doug Baldwin, Markus Wheaton, Marquess Wilson

Thanksgiving has come and gone, as has a high-scoring and highly-entertaining Week 12 in the NFL. December now sits on the horizon and with it, the fantasy football playoffs. At this point in the season, wading through the waiver wire can feel like that fourth or fifth trip back to the refrigerator for leftovers. Those mashed […]

Marcus Mariota Remains Difficult to Trust

BALLER MOVE: Add as low-end QB2 OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Mariota's up-and-down performance in this past Sunday's home loss to the Oakland Raiders was a perfect microcosm of his rookie season -- a lot of good, but also plenty of bad. He finished with three passing touchdowns, snapping a two-game streak without a score […]

Anquan Boldin Turning Back the Clock

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Anquan Boldin, at the ripe old age of 35, has finished with 93 receiving yards in back-to-back games with Blaine Gabbert under center. Can we call it a comeback? Well, that might be pushing it. Boldin did, after all, have a […]

Alfred Blue Worth Adding as Flex

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB3 or flex depth OWNED IN: 64% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Alfred Blue isn't the most talented running back you'll see on an NFL field, but if this season has shown us anything, it's that backups can shine when called upon. Just look at Thomas Rawls, DeAngelo Williams and Charcandrick West (or […]

Harry Douglas Should See a Rise in Targets

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's hard to recommend any of the Titans' skill players outside of tight end Delanie Walker, but Harry Douglas is coming off a game in which he tied Walker for the team lead in targets (eight) and scored his second touchdown of the […]

Seth Roberts' Breakout Game Will Not Be a Fluke

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Seth Roberts' Week 12 showing against the Titans -- six receptions, 113 yards and two touchdowns -- was one of the fantasy football season's top breakout games, but it was not his first productive game of the season. Roberts has topped 50 receiving yards […]

Jerricho Cotchery Is Climbing the Depth Chart in Carolina

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Panthers are 11-0, and somehow, 33-year-old Jerricho Cotchery is their second-most productive wide receiver. Cotchery isn't going to be a splashy move, but then again, how many splashy moves are left to be made in Week 13? He's been targeted six times […]

Look for Dontrelle Inman to Continue to Improve

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Since Keenan Allen was lost for the season back in Week 8, Dontrelle Inman has floated around as a potential late-season steal. He finally had a mini-breakout in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, finishing with a season-high five catches for 65 yards […]

DeVante Parker May Finally Become Fantasy Relevant

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper/Dynasty Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a quiet, underwhelming rookie season for the Dolphins' first-round pick, but DeVante Parker set career highs in catches (four) and yards (80) while scoring his first touchdown in garbage time of Sunday's loss to the Jets. The early exit […]

Take a Flier on Marquess Wilson in PPR Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alshon Jeffery returned to his role as Jay Cutler's primary target in Chicago's Thanksgiving night win in Green Bay, but Jeffery's return didn't completely neutralize Marquess Wilson, who is quietly having a decent third season. Wilson finished with four catches for 44 yards […]

Markus Wheaton Is Rediscovering His Potential

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Markus Wheaton put on a show for the Steelers in Week 12.

Doug Baldwin's Big Day Won't Be His Last

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin torched the Steelers for 145 yards and three touchdowns on six receptions in Sunday's wild 39-30 win. The three scores marked a career high and obviously won't become a weekly occurrence, but Baldwin is the midst of an impressive run. He […]

Week 12 Daily Fantasy Football Stacks: Carson Palmer - Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning - Odell Beckham Jr., Brian Hoyer - DeAndre Hopkins

Stacking is one of the most popular methods to maximize your points in a GPP (guaranteed prize pool) tournament. This makes sense, as pairing a quarterback with a wide receiver or tight end is one of the most obvious positive correlations in DFS. Of course, this strategy isn't without risk. One of the most popular […]
