Time to Unleash Jay Ajayi?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point, it may behoove the Dolphins to just run the ball 40 times a game. Ryan Tannehill has looked awful, as has the offense as a whole. OC Bill Lazor was fired today, and his removal should yield more touched... Read More

Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved... Read More

Bilal Powell a Must-Own Handcuff

BALLER MOVE: Add as Ivory Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory is the unquestioned top dog in New York, but Bilal Powell is a more-than-capable complement.

James White In Line for More Looks in New England

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a... Read More

Theo Riddick Flexes His PPR Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Riddick sees very little work between the tackles, but his abilities as a pass-catcher are undeniable. If you're in a standard league, Riddick has less appeal due to his low touchdown total, but in any PPR format he is now a... Read More
