BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bengals were on a bye this week, so we did not get a chance to see them in action. However, Tyler Boyd makes for a good add heading into Week 10, mainly in PPR leagues. In Week 8, Boyd caught 5-of-7 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Seth Roberts has a nose for the end zone, as evidenced by his four touchdowns in eight games this season as the Raiders’ third wide receiver. It took him some extra time, but he found the end zone again last week. He caught […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jaron Brown’s absence and an unhealthy Michael Floyd helped swing the door of opportunity wide open for J.J.
