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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Josh Gordon coming back into the picture soon, the Browns WR corps will be even more crowded. Last week it was Corey Coleman getting all the buzz with his two scores, but Terrelle Pryor led the team with 10 targets. Based […]


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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bears’ offensive line doesn’t leave starting QB Jay Cutler much time to think, meaning there are plenty of screen plays and quick passes in Chicago’s offense. Eddie Royal is a big benefactor of this, even with Kevin White in the picture. […]


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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Boyd had a solid second game with the Bengals, catching six of his eight targets for 78 yards. While he did lose a costly fumble towards the end of the game, he was still one of the most reliable receivers Andy […]


Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Drafting Josh Doctson with their first pick in the NFL draft created a log jam at wide receiver for the Redskins, who already had Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson and Jamison Crowder on their roster. So far this season, Jackson leads the team […]


Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quincy Enunwa has looked great this season, securing 13-of-14 targets this season for 146 yards and a TD. Despite sitting firmly behind Brandon Marshall (17 targets) and Eric Decker (15 targets) on the depth chart, he leads the team in receptions and […]


Tyrell Williams (WR, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Keenan Allen and now Danny Woodhead out for the season, a ton targets will be up for grabs in the San Diego offense. Last week, it was clear that Travis Benjamin was the go-to option, but Tyrell Williams made the most […]


Wide Receivers Waiver Wire: Week 3 Pickups & Adds

Welcome back everyone! Here we are heading into Week 3. The injury bug went around the league during Week 2, but for the most part avoided the WR position. Brandon Marshall is dealing with some knee troubles (still a shot to play in Week 3), Julio Jones is limping (nothing new, he’s fine), Below you […]

I'm here to analyze the Thursday night matchup with my start/sit recommendations. This week’s matchup puts two division foes against one another as the Jets step into New Era Field to face the Bills in their home opener. Both teams were unsuccessful last week, and will look to right the ship on short […]


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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Eddie Royal was effective during Week 1, hauling in four passes on six targets for 57 yards and a TD. He operated as the second receiver behind Alshon Jeffery. The Texans’ defense held tight end Zach Miller in check, and second year […]


Nelson Agholor (WR, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Nelson Agholor had about as rough of a rookie season as you can have, catching only 23 passes on 44 targets for 283 yards and one touchdown. He also had four recorded drops, giving him a 9.1% drop rate— eighth worst in […]


Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quincy Enunwa was targeted eight times on Sunday, catching seven passes for 54 yards and a touchdown.

2016 Fantasy Football Team Outlook- Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills have had an up and down offseason. They were able to re-sign some key pieces on both sides of the ball, keeping most of their team together from last season. However, after some suspensions and injuries the outlook for the team isn’t as bright as some Bills fans would like. The Bills […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: 138.8 ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor attempted 365 passes last season— 239 outside the numbers (61%) and 126 up the middle (76%).

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 CURRENT ADP: 190.8 ANALYSIS: Last season, running mostly short and intermediate routes, Pierre Garçon recorded 72 catches on 110 targets with just one drop.

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~65 CURRENT ADP: 80 ANALYSIS: Duke Johnson is an elite athlete who has the potential to change an entire offense. His game has yet to fully translate to the NFL, but his skills as a pass-catcher out of the backfield have already been on display— he finished fifth among running backs in receiving […]


Will Tye (TE, NYG) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~225 CURRENT ADP: 246 ANALYSIS: Will Tye emerged as the No. 1 tight end on the Giants’ depth chart late in the 2015 season. From Week 9 on, he averaged a little over four catches (4.25 to be exact) and 48 yards, with three touchdowns over his last four games. His standard […]
