BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Stefon Diggs has silently totaled 216 yards on 13 catches during his two games of action for the Vikings.

Matthew Stafford Goes From Zero to Hero in Week 6

For Matthew Stafford, it's hard to image 2015 being any more of a roller coaster ride than it has been. Stafford and the Detroit Lions had gotten off to a brutal 0-4 start before a home game against the Arizona Cardinals. To that point, Stafford put together a total of five touchdowns against five interceptions, […]

DeAndre Hopkins Making a Legitimate Case as Top NFL Wideout

While fans simply rave about Julio Jones and his 49 catches for 638 yards and four touchdowns (rightfully so), he may have some competition for the best wide receiver in the NFL. While the Houston Texans are sitting with just a 2-4 record, you simply can't overlook the season that DeAndre Hopkins is putting together. […]

Cam Newton Making an MVP Case in Unique Way

Cam Newton isn't your normal, everyday quarterback. Not by a long shot. What Newton does is special for a quarterback, and it's getting noticed, as his Carolina Panthers are off to a 5-0 start. The most recent way that Newton has silenced his critics is by taking the Panthers into one of the toughest places […]

Philip Rivers Lights It up for Fantasy Owners Despite Loss

For Philip Rivers, Week 6 was one for the ages statistically. Unfortunately, it didn't result in the San Diego Chargers leaving Lambeau Field with a victory. The Chargers lost another game in heartbreaking fashion, as the Green Bay Packers stopped them four times straight from inside the five to preserve a 27-20 victory. Now, enough […]

Marvin Jones Could Light up the Bills' Secondary

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After a strong start to the season, Marvin Jones laid an egg in Week 4, catching just one pass for four yards.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mohamed Sanu finally seems to have gotten the ball rolling after a slow start to the season.

Take Advantage of Marquess Wilson's Playing Time

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marquess Wilson has been one of the offensive leaders for the Bears over their two-game winning streak.

The Texans Need Cecil Shorts, and So Do You

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts could be back in Week 6, and is only owned in 14% of leagues. What makes Houston's number two wide receiver an interesting waiver wire target is how much Houston struggled without him in their loss to the Colts. DeAndre Hopkins […]

Allen Hurns (WR, JAC) - Fantasy Football Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 62% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Despite yet another big week, Allen Hurns is still available in a ton of leagues.

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire: Week 6 Pickups & Adds

It's time to talk waiver wire for Week 6 of the 2015 NFL season. Fortunately, there's once again more than a few great wide receiver options. We'll be taking a look at a combination of new players to make the waiver wire list, as well as one or two who were recommended last week, but […]

Devonta Freeman's Dominance Pushes Tevin Coleman to Reserve Role

When the Atlanta Falcons drafted Tevin Coleman, we were all prepared for a competition between the rookie and the second-year running back Devonta Freeman. Unfortunately, both players suffered a hamstring strain during training camp, which left the starting running back job up in the air heading into the 2015 season. While Coleman got the early nod as a […]

Lose-Lose in Kansas City: Jamaal Charles Suffers Knee Injury, Chiefs Blow Lead Against Bears

For the Kansas City Chiefs, it doesn't get much worse than what happened on Sunday afternoon. After winning in Week 1 against the Houston Texans, the Chiefs have now lost four in a row, with the worst loss coming on Sunday. While losses against the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals are understandable, their […]

Jameis Winston Has First NFL Game Without a Turnover, Resulting in a Buccaneers Victory

If there has ever been proof that turning the ball over can result in your team losing games, look no further than Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie quarterback Jameis Winston. While Winston has had a wild, up-and-down start to his NFL career, one thing that's remained consistent is the turnover. Through five weeks, Winston has thrown seven […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Tight Ends Showing Warning Signals

Things with Graham's transition over to the Seattle Seahawks haven't gone nearly as planned. Whether Graham is frustrated with his role, or just not getting the targets that he probably should, his fantasy stock isn't something that you can rely on. Through four games, Graham has been the definition of hit-or-miss. In Week 1, he […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, CIN) - Tight Ends Showing Warning Signals?

It's not so much that Eifert himself is doing anything wrong, it's more that Andy Dalton is just looking at other players, specifically A.J. Green. While Green started the season off slow, he's caught 17 balls for 309 yards and two scores over the past two weeks. Yes, 227 of those yards and both scores came […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals?

Through the first three weeks of the 2015 NFL season, Luck looked absolutely nothing like the player we saw back in 2014 who threw for 4,761 yards and 40 touchdowns with only 16 interceptions. Instead, Luck began his 2015 campaign by throwing for an average of 251 yards per game, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions through […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals?

For a minute there, Flacco had us thinking that he had bounced back to the "good Flacco." After posting back-to-back 350-plus passing yard games against the Oakland Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals (while throwing four touchdowns against two interceptions), Flacco fell backwards in Week 4. He threw for just 189 yards, with one touchdown and one […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals

Tannehill may not be belittling teammate's paychecks, but he did admit to ripping the players on the scout squad, according to James Walker of ESPN. Not your finest moment, Ryan. While the off-field drama is one thing, the fact that the Miami Dolphins have now fired Joe Philbin puts Tannehill in an interesting situation. He may not […]

Quarterbacks & Tight Ends Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 5

In the NFL, there are always those players who make you more and more anxious as the season goes on. They either aren't producing at the level they should, or they're simply getting too many garbage time points to allow you to feel confident in them on a weekly basis. Fortunately, we're here to point […]

Eddie Royal, Dorial Green-Beckham - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, TEN - 18% owned on Fleaflicker Unfortunately, we don't have four weeks of stats to evaluate on Green-Beckham. What we do have, is a player who has seen his role grow on a weekly basis. He's gone from no targets, to two targets, to three targets over the first three weeks of action. […]

Allen Hurns, Cecil Shorts - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Allen Hurns, WR, JAX - 17% owned on Fleaflicker When you flip through the statistics on a weekly basis, it may seem like Hurns and Allen Robinson are just rotating having big weeks, but that's not actually the case. Hurns has topped 60 yards in every game this season, but has also scored in back-to-back […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Crowder is a player whose stock has been slowing rising throughout the 2015 season, literally.

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's put this as simply as possible. Someone has to catch the ball for the Dallas Cowboys. We know that Brandon Weeden isn't the greatest quarterback when it comes to throwing the ball down field, which sets up beautifully for Jason Witten and, you […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It seems as though Hankerson has officially surpassed veteran Roddy White on the Atlanta Falcons' depth chart.
