Jonathan Schoop (2B, BAL) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Late in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Set to be the starting second baseman for the Orioles, Jonathan Schoop has the potential to be an everyday fantasy starter in 2015.  In 2014, he hit .209 with 16 HR, 45 RBI and only 13 walks in 481 plate appearances, which indicates a free-swinger. Schoop will undoubtedly work […]

Jonathan Schoop: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Second Base Sleeper

  Can Offseason Adjustments Unlock Potential? Set to be the starting second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, Jonathan Schoop definitely has the potential to be an everyday fantasy starter in 2015. I don’t believe that 2014 was a good indicator of his entire skill set, as he hit .209 with 16 homers, 45 RBIs, and […]

Nolan Arenado (3B, COL) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target as 3B1 in Middle Rounds ANALYSIS: Nolan Arenado more than realized his potential in 2014, but it may have gone unnoticed. Despite a broken finger, he still finished his sophomore campaign with 18 HR and a respectable .287/.328/.500 slash line. In a full season, Arenado should hit at least 25 HR. The […]

Nolan Arenado: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Third Base Sleeper

  Nolan Arenado: Burgeoning Star When Nolan Arenado reached the majors, he was one of the most hyped prospects in the Rockies organization. While he did not have a huge immediate impact on the Rockies, he more than realized his potential in 2014. It may have gone unnoticed. A broken finger stole more than a […]

Charles Johnson (WR, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues/Deep Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cordarrelle who? Johnson has sneakily become the number one passing option for the Minnesota Vikings, as he has definitively earned Teddy Bridgewater’s trust. Johnson has produced a 15-283-2 line over his last four games, and has become a viable PPR option. Most importantly […]

Week 15 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Playoff Matchups

If you’re reading this, chances are good you’re still alive in your fantasy football playoffs. If so, congratulations! Now is not the time to fall asleep on the waiver wire. Your team can ALWAYS be better, so let’s get to this week’s wide receivers. Below I will take a look at some Week 15 wide […]

Week 13 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This is it RotoBallers. It’s the last week of the regular season for most leagues, which means it’s do-or-die time. Whether you’ve already clinched and are preparing for the playoffs or are looking for a wide receiver boost to sneak into your lineups, you can always use some help off the waiver wire. Below, I […]

Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues/deep standard leagues OWNED IN: 44% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS:  Yes, I’m aware Josh Gordon will be back next week. But here’s the thing—he can’t catch ALL the passes from Brian Hoyer…probably. Defenses will be well aware of Gordon's return, and I promise you that they will be accounting for him. Whether or not […]

Chris Hogan (WR, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep PPR leagues/monitor in standard leagues OWNED IN: 1% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sigh. I am a die-hard Bills fan (and boy howdy, do we die hard); this will be the first time I've ever recommended a Buffalo Bill in an article, but here we go. Hogan has become Kyle Orton’s second option in the […]

Jarvis Landry (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR and Deep Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 14% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I advised adding Jarvis Landry, a possession receiver, last week, and I’ll do it again for Week 12. Over the last three weeks, Landry has 17 catches for 145 yards and two scores, and he's established himself as the number two […]

Week 12 Wide Receiver Depth Charts: Updates, Injuries & Stashes

Wide receivers are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams, so it's important to stay on top of the wide receiver situations and any depth chart changes throughout each week of the fantasy football season. By staying on top of all the wide receiver changes and in-season position battles, you can adjust your rosters off […]

Week 12 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It’s about that time, eh chaps? Your trade deadline may or may not have come and gone, so you may be left with only the waiver wire to beef up your squad before the playoffs begin. Fortunately, there are a few legitimate wide receiver options out there if you need a spot starter or if […]

Week 11 Wide Receiver Depth Charts: Updates, Injuries & Stashes

Wide receivers are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams, so it's important to stay on top of the wide receiver situations and any depth chart changes throughout each week of the fantasy football season. By staying on top of all the wide receiver changes and in-season position battles, you can adjust your rosters off […]

Jarvis Landry (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues/monitor in standard leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Wallace is still the top threat in the Miami passing game, both talent-wise and contract-wise, but Landry has cemented himself as the number two in what is a markedly improved offense. He had another seven catches (albeit for only 53 yards) in […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Jordan Matthews is the supremely talented rookie wide receiver who has risen to the number two option in the dynamic Philadelphia passing game. Matthews has shown flashes of brilliance all season, but hasn't ever strung two great games together. With Mark Sanchez now […]

Week 11 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

A wild and crazy Week 10 provided plenty of huge performances and quite a few clunkers. We’re approaching the home stretch of the fantasy football season, and whether you’re in the thick of the playoff hunt or have already locked up a spot, you can always use some quality wide receivers. Below I will take […]

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR / Deeper Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 9 wasn’t exactly mind-blowing for Allen Robinson, as Allen Hurns gathered the counting stats. However, Blake Bortles did still look Robinson’s way eight times, and didn’t play all that well, missing Robinson on some throws. I have faith in Robinson as […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR and Standard) OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m saying it—Mike Evans is the new number one in Tampa Bay. For those keeping score at home, that’s four touchdowns in Evans’ last four games, and he looked positively dominant in Week 9, putting up a 7/124/2 line. Vincent Jackson isn’t completely irrelevant, […]

Jarvis Landry (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Monitor in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Landry has been a big part of Ryan Tannehill’s ascent to prominence in the last month. I have faith that Tannehill will maintain his high level of play, and I think that Landry will continue to benefit from it. […]

Week 10 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Where Week 8 saw plenty of explosive performances from wide receivers, but fantasy scoring seemed to be a bit down in Week 9. Whether you got the production or not, chances are you could use some help in the wide receiver category. So let’s get to it! Below I will take a look at some […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So the Bucs are pretty much in rebuild mode, as they’re shopping V-Jax and Doug Martin daily. I stand firmly in the camp of those who think Mike Evans is the only reason anyone even considers Johnny Manziel an NFL talent, and […]

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I advised adding Allen Robinson last week, and those who listened to me were handsomely rewarded. Robinson once again led the Jaguars in targets with 10, and cashed five of those in for 82 yards and a long […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Patriots haven’t had a legitimate sideline threat since Randy Moss, and while I’m not saying LaFell is even in the same ballpark as “The Freak”, he has been incredibly valuable in Tom Brady’s rejuvenated aerial attack. LaFell pulled in all 11 of his […]

Martavis Bryant (WR, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m not one to buy into rookies, but hear me out on Martavis Bryant. We probably won’t see six touchdowns from Big Ben again this season, but he does seem to have things running on all cylinders. Pair that with the […]

Week 9 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

A wild Week 8 in the NFL saw some of the most explosive performances of the 2014 season, particularly at the wide receiver position. However, if you are not one of the fortunate owners of Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, or Jeremy Maclin, then you may need some help off the waiver wire. Below I will […]

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR/deep standard leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts came back in Week 6 and snagged 10 catches for over 100 yards. You’d think that would detract from Allen Robinson’s value, but you’d be wrong—Robinson hauled in eight catches in that game for 68 yards. He showed up again in Week […]

Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues / Monitor in Standard Leagues Owned in 39% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Starting center Alex Mack broke his leg and is out for the rest of the season - just watch Cleveland’s Week 7 game film to find out what kind of an impact that had on the running game. The […]

Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR / Standard Leagues Owned in 40% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Odell Beckham broke out in Week 7 with a pair of touchdowns, although it was on only four catches for 35 yards. While the yardage and reception numbers aren’t eye-popping, the fact that Eli was looking for him in the endzone is […]

Week 8 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

An interesting Week 7 provided plenty of excitement (shout out to my Buffalo Bills for the last-second victory) for fantasy football players, with some unsuspecting breakout performances and a handful of stars dropping absolute duds. We’re a shade over halfway through the season now, and based on where you are in the standings you need […]

Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 34% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Beckham will see a significant increase in targets, particularly in the slot, with Victor Cruz out for the season. To be fair, Eli and the Giants offense as a whole looked like garbage in Week 6, but I […]
