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!

Articles

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS:  Cameron Meredith was the biggest benefactor of the spot opened up by the injury to Kevin White. Meredith led the team with 12 targets, catching nine passes for 130 yards including a TD. He played his largest number of snaps this season, leading all WRs […]


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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues until Stefon Diggs returns OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Stefon Diggs out, Adam Thielen stepped up in a huge way catching 7-of-8 targets for 127 yards and a TD in the Vikings win over the Texans. Thielen led the team in targets and was easily the most productive […]


Kenny Britt (WR, STL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenny Britt has been the most consistent member of the Rams offense all season. On Sunday he had another solid performance, catching five passes on six targets for 75 yards. While it is his teammate Tavon Austin who has dominated the team lead in targets, Britt has […]


Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the Bears lost Kevin White, there were more targets to go around for the entire offense. Eddie Royal was expected to benefit from this, and did somewhat catching seven passes for the second straight game for 43 yards. Royal has had stretches like this in his past, […]


Chris Hogan (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, it didn’t take long for the Tom Brady-to-Chris Hogan connection to develop. Hogan caught 4-of-5 targets for 114 yards as the Patriots dominated the Browns on Sunday. We were unsure how the return of Brady would affect all of the Patriots WRs, but if things […]


Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sammie Coates had a dominating week for the Steelers in Week 5, catching 6-of-11 targets for 139 yards and two TDs. He was actually out-snapped in this one by Markus Wheaton (64% versus 58%), but severely out-produced him with Wheaton putting up a line of two catches […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman had a surprising performance in Week 4, coming seemingly out of nowhere to catch seven-of-11 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown. The 120 yards broke his previous career high of 88. When Keenan Allen went down, it was expected […]


Brian Quick (WR, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: One week after scoring the first receiving touchdown for the Rams this season on a 44-yard pass, Brian Quick caught two passes for 69 yards and two scores in Week 2, including a 65-yard reception. Quick is rapidly becoming the preferred deep-ball […]


Seth Roberts (WR, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Seth Roberts is the third option in Oakland’s passing offense behind Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Operating in the slot this season, Roberts has averaged three receptions for 21 yards over the team’s four games. He has made the most of his […]


Chris Conley (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Conley has operated as the No. 2 option behind Jeremy Maclin all season with the Chiefs, and had his best game of the season in Week 4.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Robert Woods was called upon by the Bills to take over as their WR1 with Sammy Watkins potentially out for the season. He performed well last week, catching 7-of-10 targets for 89 yards in the Bills’ win over the Patriots. The Bills […]


Chris Hogan (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Hogan was brought in this offseason to help bolster a WR corps in need of another weapon. So far Hogan has been a disappointment, capped off by his zero catch performance against his former team, the Bills, last week. However, there are some […]

Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 33% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Markus Wheaton returned to the Steelers on Sunday, and didn’t make the impact many thought he would. With the emergence of Eli Rogers and Sammie Coates, Wheaton has seen his role limited. Coates is still the biggest deep threat on the roster; he only […]


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

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 29% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Devin Funchess earned the WR2 spot alongside Kelvin Benjamin to open the year, but so far it has been Ted Ginn who has been the team’s second best WR. Through three games, Ginn has caught 6-of-12 targets for 118 yards. He has an […]


Seth Roberts (WR, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues Owned In: 6% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Behind Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, there is Seth Roberts. Last week Roberts caught 2-of-6 targets for 27 yards and a TD, his second of the season. While he is the third option on the Raiders (16 targets), Carr has shown he will throw […]


Robert Woods (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stream in 10- and 12-team leagues when Sammy Watkins is out Owned In: 11% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Robert Woods found some success without Sammy Watkins on the field his week, catching 6-of-8 targets for 51 yards, on a day when Tyrod Taylor only threw for 119 yards. With Watkins likely to be hobbled for most of […]


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

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues Owned In: 11% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Marqise Lee is the most under-appreciated fantasy receiver in the league right now. Though he is only 11% owned on Fleaflicker, he has stats eerily similar to a much higher owned receiver on the same team, in Allen Hurns (87% owned). While Hurns has the […]


Terrelle Pryor (WR, CLE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues Owned In: 23% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Terrelle Pryor was on this list last week, and while I like to change things up the best I can week-to-week you have to pick this guy up if he is still available. With Corey Coleman now out of the picture and Josh Gordon […]


Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 4% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: With Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson taking the deeper routes/endzone targets, who is there to take over the short routes? In comes Adam Humphries. He has seen his targets increase from QB Jameis Winston each of the past three weeks, and even flashed […]

Hello fellow RotoBallers! As each week passes by, we learn a little more about our team and what we need to put us over the top against the rest of the league. If you’re looking for some waiver wire steals to give you a boost, you’ve come to the right place. Players like Quincy Enunwa […]
