John Brown (WR, AR) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~210  (Current ADP: 224, WR: 81) ANALYSIS:  This is a super deep sleeper pick but I've got to call out John Brown.  Why?  He's have a very impressive preseason (10 catches 165 yards and 1 TD) and Arizona's brass has noticed.  Here's a quote from Steve Keim the GM at Arizona, "I […]

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130  (Current ADP: 175, RB: 56) ANALYSIS:  Coming into 2014 the Dallas Cowboys again have questions about their offense.  During the offseason Tony Romo had back surgery and their running offense was ranked 24th last year.  Once again coaching changes were made at Dallas and new offensive coordinator Scott Linehan's mission this […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~125  (Current ADP: 136, RB: 45) ANALYSIS:  Last season Andre Williams lead all of college football with over 2,000 yards rushing making him the 16th player to achieve this accomplishment in NCAA history.  As we all know college football success does not always translate to the NFL but it is a nice appetizer. […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~80  (Current ADP: 98, QB: 14) ANALYSIS:  For those of you who are seeking a sleeper QB option look no further than Jay Cutler. While Cutler has some risk with his injury history (his last full season was 2009), he does come with some upside. Chicago Bears new head coach and offensive minded […]

Terrance West (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~115  (Current ADP: 120, RB: 40) ANALYSIS:  While all the talk has been about Johnny Manziel in Cleveland there's a battle going on in the RB corps that you should pay attention to.  Currently Ben Tate is listed and paid as the #1 RB option however if you know anything about Ben […]

Kelvin Benjamin (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 125 (Current ADP: 138, WR: 44) ANALYSIS: How many of you reading this know who the WR options on the Carolina Panthers are this year?  I can take a quick guess that not many of you do...including myself (I had to research it beyond the subject of this post).  As we all know […]

Week 16 Playoffs Waiver Wire - Wide Receivers (WR)

Now that the first week or two of your fantasy football playoffs have concluded I'm sure some of you are feeling all sorts of emotions. Personally, I have a lot of hatred for my new public enemy number one: Jamaal Charles. He knocked me out in 3 leagues practically on his own. If you were […]

Thomas Davis, IDP - LB, Carolina Panthers

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ Teams IDP Leagues) Analysis: This week I'm recommending Thomas Davis who has had 26 tackles (6.5/game), 10 assists, 1 Sack, & 1 interception the last 4 weeks.  While these numbers don't really jump off the page they are solid. If you are looking for a waiver pickup you could find worse […]

New England, DEF

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ Teams) Analysis: I imagine the Houston Texans had a different vision for the 2013 season.  So far they've been downright awful, and they achieved a new low last week by losing to the Jaguars and scoring just 6 total points.  This week New England will be coming to town to […]

Cleveland, DEF

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ Teams) Analysis: Last week I did not do well with recommending the Browns, however this week I will repeat and select them again as a waiver option.  Why?  They are playing the Jaguars and that is good news for their defense.  On the season Jacksonville has given up the most […]

Jacoby Jones – WR, Baltimore Ravens

Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues only (12+ Teams Standard) Analysis: This season Jacoby Jones has been sidelined in large chunks due to injury.  This week he finally looked to be getting closer to 100% with his best game of the season (4 catches, 103 yards & 1 TD).  The previous two weeks Jones only had 4 […]

Justin Hunter – WR, Tennessee Titans

Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues only (12+ Teams PPR) Analysis: The past two weeks Hunter has tallied 13 target with 8 catches.  This past week Hunter had his breakout game of the season with 6 catches on 6 targets for 109 yards and 1 TD.  Hunter was a second round WR pick this season from Tennessee […]

Nate Burleson – WR, Detroit Lions

Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues only (12+ Teams PPR, Standard) Analysis: Last week I didn't include an injured WR option for PPR leagues.  Nate Burleson is his name and he's in a big time passing offense in Detroit (the past 2 seasons feature the most passing in Lions history).  Sadly his season has been filled with […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire - Wide Receivers (WR) & Defenses (DEF)

What's going on Ballers?  This week was the first week in a while that I could say I had some decent waiver options to recommend given my crazy recommendation rules (which were self-imposed).  Some names that really stick out this week are Edelman, Burleson, Wright, & maybe Hunter or Austin.  As you look to secure […]

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Sleepers for Week 12 & Beyond

As fantasy playoffs approach us, I'll be providing you some players who may be flying under the radar, including some that I'm higher on than others and a few that I just have a solid hunch on. Keep in mind that these are guys who might not be in the fantasy football spotlight at this […]

Antrel Rolle, New York Giants (IDP – S)

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams IDP Leagues) ANALYSIS: For the past four games, Antrel Rolle has had 31 total tackles, two sacks and two interceptions (averaging around eight tackles a game).  This past week, Rolle had his best game of the season with 10 solo tackles and a sack.  The two sacks on the […]

Detroit, DEF

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS:  Detroit will be playing a Pittsburgh Steeler offense which has given up the fifth-most points to opposing defenses.  Pittsburgh has struggled this season with turnovers and has a -11 turnover ratio.  While Pittsburgh has the potential to score points, I like Detroit’s chances to have at […]

Green Bay, DEF

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS:  For this coming week, Green Bay will be playing a NY Giants team that has given up the third-most points on the season to opposing defenses.  Overall, the Giants have a -13 turnover ratio on the season and I expect that will not improve this coming […]

Cordarrelle Patterson, Minnesota Vikings

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues only (12+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS: In Week 1 of this season, I mentioned that Patterson was going to be the new Percy Harvin on the Vikings.  So far, he hasn’t lived up to that, and Jerome Simpson has started longer than I anticipated.  But this week Simpson was arrested with a DWI.  […]
