Articles

Teddy Bridgewater a Worthy Addition as QB2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% owned in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: If you're relying on Teddy Bridgewater as a starter at this point in the season, you're probably in the midst of a tough season. He's just not consistent or productive enough to be a reliable starter at this point in his […]


Ahmad Bradshaw Worth a PPR Flier

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Let's have some fun with numbers, shall we? Running back Ahmad Bradshaw has played in 15 games over the last two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. In those 15 games, he has nine receiving touchdowns (11 overall). Compare that with his […]


Tyler Lockett Has Become a Primary Option in Seattle

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has emerged as the Seahawks' most dangerous weapon in the passing game, as evidenced by his 48-yard, two-touchdown showing Sunday against the 49ers. The speedy rookie also caught a long touchdown in Week 7, and has a pair of return […]


Cecil Shorts Is Fantasy Relevant With Any Quarterback

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts had 51 receiving yards, 26 rushing yards and a 21-yard passing touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Jets. The rushing yards and passing touchdown are obviously fluky, but Shorts will continue to see a fair share of targets in the passing […]


Leonard Hankerson Is Shaking off the Rust

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Leonard Hankerson returned to action for the first time since Week 7 in Sunday's loss to the Colts, and the results were mixed. He finished with four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown, but also dropped a handful of passes. Some […]


J.J. Nelson's Breakout Game Is a Sign of Things to Come

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Hopefully you stayed up Sunday night to watch Nelson put on a show in the Cardinals' home win over the Bengals. Michael Floyd missed the game with a hamstring injury, allowing Nelson to step into a bigger role, and the speedy rookie exploded […]


Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 12: Tyler Lockett, Leonard Hankerson, Cecil Shorts

Week 11 in the NFL was...weird. Why, you ask? Well, we reached the Sunday night game without a 300-yard passer -- and then, of course, both Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton threw for more than 300 yards. Even if Tom Brady and Tyrod Taylor both eclipse that mark Monday night, four 300-yard passers in a […]


Week 11 DFS Stacks: Matt Ryan-Julio Jones, Tom Brady-Danny Amendola, Tony Romo-Dez Bryant & More

Stacking is a common but important strategy in building DFS lineups, specifically for GPPs (guaranteed prize pools). These major tournaments, like the weekly Millionaire Maker on DraftKings, can have hundreds of thousands of entries, so the idea goes like this: pair a quarterback with a receiver, and if the two connect for 100-plus yards and multiple touchdowns, […]


Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB/flex depth OWNED IN: 71% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Arizona Cardinals' shifty third-year back is coming off of his finest game of the season in Sunday night's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Ellington piled up 88 yards from scrimmage on just eight touches (five carries, three receptions), including a game-sealing 48-yard touchdown […]


Make Sure Tony Romo Isn't Available On Your Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add as QB1 in All Leagues OWNED IN: 78% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He's back! Well, at least according to reports, he will be back this Sunday. While Romo (collarbone) hasn't officially been activated off of the injured reserve/designated to return list, the Dallas Cowboys released ineffective backup Brandon Weeden Tuesday afternoon, a move that certainly […]


Zach Ertz (TE, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE2 with TE1 upside OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All of the trends are pointing upward when it comes to Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz. Well, almost all of the trends. He's caught at least five passes in three straight games, including a season-high seven for 68 yards this past Sunday. […]


Kirk Cousins (QB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as QB2 OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kirk Cousins put on an absolute show in the Washington Redskins' rout of the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday. He finished with 324 yards and four touchdowns on 20-of-25 passing, giving him a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating. We're not here to completely derail the Cousins […]


Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 11: Amendola, Williams, Crowder and More

Ah, fantasy football. Don't you just love it? Sometimes you can do all the research in the world, study matchups for hours, look at who's hot or cold and who's injured, when really the player you were looking for was sitting on the waiver wire, just waiting to be claimed. Case in point, let's look […]


Jacob Tamme (TE, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE2 or bye-week replacement OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: If you've scored big with Jacob Tamme as a waiver wire pickup or cheap DFS option over the last two weeks, kudos to you. Just make sure to keep in mind the key contributing factor to Tamme's recent success -- the absence of […]


Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider as WR3 or flex OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make this clear right from the start -- Marvin Jones is far from a safe bet. But as far as low-cost, high-ceiling flex players go, the Cincinnati Bengals wideout checks off a lot of the right boxes. Jones is coming off a five-catch, […]


Isaiah Crowell (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB depth OWNED IN: 71% of of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns' passing game has produced some of fantasy football's most unlikely breakout players this season (yes, we mean you Gary Barnidge and Travis Benjamin). Yet its rushing attack has left quite a bit to be desired. Isaiah Crowell, an RB1 in […]


Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start as QB1 and consider for DFS OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Welcome back, Tyrod Taylor. The fantasy football world certainly missed you. Taylor, the Buffalo Bills' dynamic first-year starter, started for the first time in nearly a month this past Sunday, and the impact was immediately evident. Taylor finished with 181 passing […]


Stevie Johnson (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all formats OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's gotten ugly for the Chargers. A 2-7 record, a season-ending injury to standout wide receiver Keenan Allen, and seemingly endless debate about the team's future in San Diego. But from a fantasy perspective, the Chargers have actually given us plenty. Philip Rivers […]


Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB/flex depth OWNED IN: 68% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Some weeks it's Shane Vereen, some weeks it's Rashad Jennings. Or Andre Williams. Or now Orleans Darkwa. The New York Giants run game is certainly one of the most frustrating situations in all of fantasy football, but Vereen generally offers the most upside, due in no small […]


Brandon LaFell (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as WR3 and consider for DFS lineups OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has no shortage of weapons at his disposal, and that now includes Brandon LaFell, who was activated off the PUP list prior to Week 7's win against the New York Jets. LaFell had a nightmare […]


Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Avoid unless desperate for QB2 OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Seven passing touchdowns in seven games. Fewer than 200 passing yards in six of his seven games. Todd Gurley's emergence as one of the NFL's preeminent running backs. These are just a few of the reasons why you should steer clear of St. […]


Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE2 but avoid in DFS OWNED IN: 56% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's never wise to overreact, good or bad, to a single game. So let's take Coby Fleener's seven-catch, 43-yard, one-touchdown Monday night performance with a grain of salt. The Indianapolis Colts tight end's most recent outing marked just the second time this […]


Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB depth but avoid in DFS OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's difficult to recommend any player in the Tennessee Titans' offense at this point. The team ranks 31st in total yards per game (309.9) and points per game (17.9), ahead of only the hapless San Francisco 49ers in each category. […]


Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all formats as WR3 OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: You get a touchdown, and you get a touchdown, and you ... oh, I'm sorry, I was pretending to be Drew Brees there. The New Orleans Saints quarterback torched the New York Giants in Sunday's shootout win, tying the NFL record […]


Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all formats OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you missed out on West in last week's waiver-wire period, don't repeat that mistake again. If you can still get him in season-long leagues, do it. West will never be confused with Jamaal Charles, the Kansas City Chiefs' stud four-time Pro Bowler […]


Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Avoid in all formats OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one has ever questioned Colin Kaepernick's raw talent. He has all the physical tools to succeed, but the consistency simply isn't there this season. He's torn apart the Steelers (335 yards, 2 TDs), Giants (262 yards, 2 TDs) and Ravens (340 yards, 2 TDs), […]


Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start as bye-week replacement OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell's fantasy value is almost exclusively tied to touchdowns. That is, when he scores them, he has value. When he doesn't ... well, he's not going to give you much else. The New York Giants' starting tight end has been targeted at […]


Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider as cheap QB option in DFS OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Approach this one with caution. Even if he wasn't nursing a shoulder injury, Cleveland Browns starter Josh McCown would be a dicey proposition against an Arizona Cardinals defense that leads the NFL with 12 interceptions. But if you're feeling a bit […]


Malcom Floyd (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Drop in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes something doesn't feel good, but we have to do it anyway. This is where we're at with Malcom Floyd. The veteran San Diego Chargers wideout is simply not producing enough to justify a roster spot in most season-long leagues. I say most […]


Doug Baldwin (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider for GPP lineups in DFS OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy football can be frustrating and stressful enough on its own. If you're relying on a Seattle Seahawks pass-catcher, that's only going to make things more infuriating. Through seven games this season, the Seahawks have had four different players finish as […]
