I have been playing fantasy sports since the internet was slow enough that I would have to score my league by hand on pen and paper. I've seen the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, and the creamy middles of fantasy sports.

Week 8 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options. Below are my Week 8 lineup picks for players that can be booms and […]


Week 7 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options. Below are my Week 7 lineup picks for players that can be booms and […]


Joe Flacco, Joseph Randle, Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount: Week 7 Lineup Busts?

Joe Flacco - QB, Baltimore Ravens For all the reasons I am buying the Cardinals this week, I am selling the Ravens. The Cardinals have allowed the fifth-least amount of fantasy points against QBs, and Flacco is dealing with a tattered receiving corps in a game that could get out of hand quickly. If you are […]


Anquan Boldin (WR, SF) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

File this one under the "Hunch" category, but I think Boldin (and maybe even Torrey Smith) will have big days against their former team. The Ravens pass defense has been a sieve this season, ranked 31st in fantasy points against for quarterbacks and wide receivers, and the 49ers' offensive unit actually showed some life against the […]


DeMarco Murray (RB, PHI) - Week 6 Lineup Busts?

DeMarco Murray finally woke up from a season-long slumber last week to rush for 83 yards and a touchdown against the porous Saints defense. This week Murray and the Eagles welcome in the Giants, who likely won't be as gracious a visitor as New Orleans was. Murray still runs like a player that was used and […]


Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Week 6 Lineup Busts?

This week Rivers turns into a bust, as he is not playing at home this week or facing a team with a questionable pass defense. The Packers have rolled at home for a while now, winning 12 straight at Lambeau Field. Aaron Rodgers and the offense pile up points, which allows Dom Capers' defensive crew to tee […]


Eddie Lacy (RB, GB) - Week 6 Lineup Booms?

After weeks of struggling to live up to the numbers we are used to, I think the Gouda Buddha finally busts out against a Chargers defense that is dead last in fantasy points allowed to running backs. Given Green Bay's usual dominance at home, I look for the Packers to strike early and often, with […]


Sam Bradford (QB, PHI) - Week 6 Lineup Booms?

I have been burned by Bradford multiple times this year, as his Jekyll and Hyde routine continues. Bradford has played much better in the second half of games compared to the first half and nobody seems to know the reason why. Luckily for Bradford and the Eagles, the Giants come to town with a banged up […]


T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Week 6 Lineup Busts?

Teams coached by Bill Belichick like to take away your biggest strength on offense and try to make you win with your team's weaknesses. Hilton is the best playmaker on the Colts, and I expect New England to give him plenty of attention in the defensive gameplay. Hilton has also struggled with a groin injury […]


Week 6 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options. Below are my Week 6 lineup picks for players that can be booms and […]


Week 5 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Last week was our first journey into the bye weeks, with the Pats and Titans getting some rest. But this week, we have four teams sitting out (Dolphins, Jets, Vikings, and Panthers). This is causing some fantasy owners to dig a little deeper for start/bench decisions and plug and play options. I am here to try […]


Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Week 5 Lineup Booms

I mentioned Philip Rivers as a lineup boom last week and he delivered, putting up 358 yards and three touchdowns against the Browns at home. The Chargers are again playing in San Diego this week, with Pittsburgh's sieve of a defense heading in. I don't think it is out of the realm of possibilities for Rivers to approach last week's […]


Owen Daniels (TE, DEN) - Week 5 Lineup Booms

Tight ends usually succeed when Peyton Manning is their quarterback, but the Broncos tight ends have struggled so far this season. Luckily for Denver, they head to Oakland where tight ends have feasted on the Raiders defense. Oakland has allowed an average of 97 yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game to tight ends, good for the […]


Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Week 5 Lineup Booms

I hope you listened to me when I told you to pick up Dion Lewis. The Patriots RB has done nothing but impress since being given a shot against Pittsburgh back in the season opener, which led to Lewis and New England reaching a two-year contract extension. The Cowboys may be getting Greg Hardy and […]


Kansas City Chiefs (KC, DEF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add As Streaming Defense OWNED IN:  53% of Fleaflicker Leagues A fantasy football team defense is usually only as good as its opponent. Sure there are units that are always must-starts (this year's Broncos defense may be an example). The Chiefs fall into the former category for me, coming off three-straight games where they […]


Week 4 Booms and Busts: Late Games

As bye weeks begin around the NFL, it may take a little bit of extra digging to figure out how you will replace the players that are off in your lineup. I am here to try and steer you in the right direction, as I look at players that you may or may not be […]


Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Week 4 Lineups Busts

While many people may not believe in Benjamin, I do. Benjamin leads or is tied for the lead on the team in targets, receptions, yards, and receiving touchdowns. In Cleveland's last game, Benjamin was targeted 10 times (catching four passes), while hauling in a four-yard TD. This tells me that the young receiver is not just […]


Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Week 4 Lineups Busts

This isn't a "gang up on the Cardinals" pick, because I do love the Arizona offense in general. This is more about how impressed I have been with Chris Johnson so far this season. The running back formerly known as CJ2k (as well as CJ1k and CJ0k), has run with a purpose that hasn't been […]


Carson Palmer (QB, ARI) - Week 4 Lineups Busts?

Palmer has played as many hoped he would following last year's torn ACL. The Cardinals passing game has fired on all cylinders this season, and Larry Fitzgerald has risen like a Phoenix (alright, I admit it, the pun was intended). But with all that being said, Arizona has beat up on some pretty bad defenses […]


Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Rivers has come back to Earth after throwing for 404 yards and two touchdowns in his first game of the season against the Lions. Road games against solid defenses in Cincinnati and Minnesota will do that.  But this week the Chargers host the Browns, who just allowed more than 300 yards in the air at […]


Jason Witten (TE, DAL) - Week 4 Lineups Booms

It is fitting that Jason Witten's Sunday Night Football game will be on the same night and time that The Walking Dead is usually on. Like the zombies on AMC's hit show, Witten keeps chugging along slowly but surely and does not go down easily. The Cowboys tight end is fighting off issues with his legs, but […]


Ameer Abdullah (RB, DET) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Okay, I admit this one requires a little bit of faith. The Lions are 0-3 and head into Seattle on Monday night as almost double digit underdogs. Detroit's offense has been uneven all season and Abdullah has only shown glimpses of the talent that made him a preseason darling of fantasy scribes everywhere. But I have […]


Antonio Gates (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There is a 53% chance that last year's No. 2 tight end is sitting on your waiver wire.  He is healthy, well-rested and likely looking to make a statement after being suspended for PEDs.  In case you forgot, Antonio Gates looked rejuvenated in 2014, […]


Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As people debate whether DeMarco Murray or Ryan Mathews will end being the Eagles "lead back" the rest of the season (I think it will be Mathews), Darren Sproles quietly leads the team in fantasy points.  Unlike Murray and Mathews, Sproles has a tight grip […]


Ryan Mathews (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite an incredibly ugly start to the season, the starting running back in a Chip Kelly offense has been a hot commodity thanks to its high-volume of snaps and running plays.  Heading into this season, I was not willing to pay the steep price […]


Week 3 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Week Three Booms QB Russell Wilson, SEA: The Seahawks are much better than their 0-2 record indicates.  The Bears are not.  Chicago has been gashed for seven passing touchdowns already this season, which is worst in the league.  Enter a Seattle passing attack still looking to incorporate it's new, shiny toy in Jimmy Graham.  The Seahawks […]


Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Week 3 Lineup Busts

After an impressive preseason connecting with Alex Smith, people thought that the Chiefs finally found a wide receiver in Maclin that could lead them into the end zone for the first time in more than a year. Well after two weeks, things haven't exactly worked out as planned, as Maclin has averaged only 54.5 yards per […]


John Brown (WR, ARI) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

The preseason hype machine hasn't exactly blown up as people would have liked, but that is no fault of Brown's. The Arizona receiver has been a playmaker for the Cardinals so far, catching Carson Palmer's eye to become second on the team in targets. Some of his big plays have been pass interference calls that led […]


C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

We have all heard the complaints from Anderson owners, about how he has been one of the biggest busts of the young season. Heck, even Anderson himself is hearing the complaints. Detroit is amongst the worst in the league at stopping the run so far (29th overall), while also being dead last in rushing touchdowns allowed. […]


Sammy Watkins (WR, BUF) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

The first receiver taken in last year's stacked NFL Draft class has had a rough start to his 2015 campaign.  He was shutout against Vontae Davis and the Colts in Week 1 and salvaged Week 2's contest against the Patriots with a late 24-yard touchdown. Luckily for Watkins, he will go from facing teams coached […]
