From Buffalo NY, but my favorite team has always been Cleveland. Ill ride that train until I die. However! Rule #1: Do not mix fantasy and your favorite team. Been playing fantasy longer than I can remember. Love it. Hoping to write some helpful stuff!

Tyreek Hill (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyreek Hill has been on this list for a number of weeks, graduating from the under-15% owned list and now seeing himself rise to this side of the list. He has been leading the Chiefs' receiving corps for the past several weeks […]


Ted Ginn (WR, CAR) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The most surprising player to bring down double-digit touchdowns last season is beginning to produce like that player again this season. Through 10 weeks, Ted Ginn had no touchdowns, with only one game of more than 60 receiving yards. Over the past two games, […]


Malcolm Mitchell (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tom Brady and Malcolm Mitchell seem to be getting more accustomed to each other as the weeks go on. Last week, Mitchell seemingly came out of nowhere to score the first touchdown of his career, and followed up that performance in a […]


Taylor Gabriel (WR, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Surprisingly, Taylor Gabriel led the Falcons in receiving on Sunday against the Cardinals' stout passing defense. He caught 4-of-5 targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns, also adding in one rush for 27 yards. Gabriel has only seen an average of three touches […]


Jermaine Kearse (WR, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Along with most of the Seahawks offense, Jermaine Kearse didn’t do much this week to warrant an immediate pickup. He caught just one of his five targets for 18 yards as Seattle lost a tough one to the Buccaneers, 14-to-5. Doug Baldwin […]


Marquess Wilson (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, I’m sure this is one performance no one saw coming this week. With Jay Cutler out, Matt Barkley led the Bears' passing attack, with Marquess Wilson being the immediate benefactor. He caught eight of his team-leading 11 targets for 125 yards […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeSean Jackson made his return to the Redskins on Sunday after missing last week’s game with a shoulder injury. Though he received six targets in what ended up being a shootout, he did little to deter Pierre Garcon from having his finest […]


Tyreek Hill (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyreek Hill didn’t have his best game of the season in the Chiefs' loss to the Buccaneers, but still led all wideouts in yards receiving despite being third on the team in targets behind Travis Kelce (nine) and Chris Conley (eight). Hill […]


Cameron Meredith (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 57% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Last week, the surprise suspension to Alshon Jeffery made Cameron Meredith a popular player to add. Jeffery’s available targets were expected to help Meredith, Zach Miller and Eddie Royal. Miller was an early beneficiary, catching three passes for 61 yards and a […]


Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A.J. Green left this game on the first Bengals drive of the game, after he and Stephon Gilmore went up for a jump ball and Green landed awkwardly. He was diagnosed with a torn right hamstring, though he is getting an MRI on […]


Kevin White (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Before Kevin White went down with a leg injury earlier in the season, he was averaging nine targets per game with Jay Cutler and Brian Hoyer at QB. The earliest expected return for White would be Week 13, when the Bears take […]


Marqise Lee (WR, JAC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee finally found the end zone on Sunday for his first touchdown of the season. Lee caught four of his team-leading eight targets for 52 yards and a nifty, three-yard score. The TD catch was a nice one, with Lee barely keeping […]


Adam Thielen (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Before the game on Sunday it was announced that Adam Thielen would have a bigger role in the offense with stud cornerback Patrick Peterson covering Stefon Diggs. Thielen didn’t disappoint; he ended the day catching all five of his targets for 65 […]


Marquise Goodwin (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Robert Woods left the game on Sunday against the Bengals after sustaining a knee sprain, and was later seen on crutches. Woods will likely miss next week’s game against the Jaguars, and maybe more. If he does miss extended time, the Bills will be […]


Cecil Shorts (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts had his most productive day as a Buccaneer on Sunday, with five catches on seven targets for 62 yards. Russell Shepard returned this game after missing two weeks with a hip injury, but he was out-targeted and out-snapped by Shorts. […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the last game the Bengals played before their bye week, Tyler Boyd was third on the team in targets behind A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert with seven— five more than Brandon LaFell. Then, in Week 10, he saw just five targets, […]


Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pierre Garcon has been sneakily consistent over the past several weeks, scoring double-digit points in four out of the last five games in PPR formats.
