Week 13 Deeper Sleepers - Playoff Drive: Dontrelle Inman, Scott Chandler, Brock Osweiler and More

We are almost at the regular season finish line. Every year I cannot wait for football to start, then the season comes to a close and I'm wondering where the heck the time went. Same rules as always - in this column we will be looking at NFL players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker […]


Bust Starting Pitchers and What It Means for 2016: Zimmermann, Teheran and Wood

Welcome to our last chapter of our Breakout/Busts segment. Hopefully you've enjoyed the series and gleaned some useful info to use as you prepare for the 2016 season, but most importantly I hope I haven't bored you to death. This last chapter focuses on pitchers who failed to live up to expectations in 2015. This group includes […]


Breakout Outfielders And What It Means for 2016

Welcome back, readers. We've gone through the infield breakouts and busts, now we head to the outfield. The outfield had numerous surprises in the 2015 fantasy baseball landscape. Two of the top 10 outfielders were ranked outside the top 100 going into 2015 (A.J. Pollock, Lorenzo Cain) and of the top 20 outfielders, only five were […]


Week 12 Deeper Sleepers: Stacking Texans and Dealing With the Injury Bug

Did you enjoy the quick reprieve of mostly-injury-free football we experienced in Week 10? Good, because Week 11 was a bloodbath. We saw four high-end running backs go down (Devonta Freeman, Charcandrick West, Justin Forsett, Marshawn Lynch) along with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Zach Ertz leaving with concussions. Same rules as always - in this column we will […]


MLB Bust Players At 1B and 3B - What It Means for 2016

Welcome back, readers. Hopefully you've enjoyed the first three segments of this series as we look further into players that broke out in 2015 and others that received the "bust" label. This edition will focus on corner infielders that failed to deliver on their expectations. My selections will be influenced by their respective ADP (Average […]


Breakout Players at 1B and 3B and What It Means For 2016

Welcome back to our weekly series running through November looking at players at each position who experienced breakout campaigns. I'll also run another segment detailing the busts at each position. Previously we looked at breakouts and busts up the middle (2B, SS, C). Here we will be focusing on the hot corners. No, Paul Goldschmidt returning to […]


Bust Players at 2B, SS, and C and What It Means for 2016

Welcome back friends. I hope you enjoyed the pilot article of this segment detailing the breakouts at 2B, SS, and C in 2015. This edition is more of a buzzkill - the busts at each of these positions. My selections will be influenced by their respective ADP (Average Draft Position) coming into 2015. That means while Jedd […]


Chris Givens Fitting Nicely into New Role

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The post-Steve Smith era has begun in Baltimore, with Kamar Aiken doing his best impersonation for the rest of 2015. Aiken dominated the targets (14), but it's who came in second who has our interest. Chris Givens filled into the number two role […]


Week 11 Deeper Sleepers - The Brock Oswiler Era and Why You Should Consider Justin Perillo

Welcome back RotoBallers. Same rules as always - in this column we will be looking at NFL players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. These players can be sneaky fantasy football lineup sleepers for Week 11, as you consider adding players off the waiver wire and optimizing your fantasy football lineups. Week 10 was a […]


Week 10 Deeper Sleepers: Replacing Dion Lewis and Targeting Cowboys

Welcome back readers. Same rules as always, we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Week 9 didn't bleed fantasy owners dry with injuries like we saw in Week 8, although we did lose Dion Lewis (ACL) for the year. DeAngelo Williams and Jeremy Langford (our pick last week) were both […]


Breakout Players at 2B, SS, and C and What It Means For 2016

Having some baseball withdrawal yet? Welcome to the club. That's why I'm starting a weekly series running through November looking at players at each position who experienced breakout campaigns. I'll also run another segment detailing the busts at each position. This edition will focus on middle infielders and backstops. My selections will be influenced by their […]


Week 9 Deeper Sleepers: Things Are Going to Get Wild

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Week 8 was not kind to fantasy owners or my picks. Le'Veon Bell, Steve Smith Sr., Reggie Bush, Matt Forte, and Ryan Fitzpatrick all went down with injuries, with the first three names out […]


Week 8 Deeper Sleepers: Replacing Arian Foster

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. To describe last week's picks in one word... meh. Sure, we hit on Stefon Diggs, but that felt more like a "no duh" pick given how good he looked his first two games. The only […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/21/2015

So, about those FanDuel DFS lineup picks from yesterday... we started off horrible by going cheap at pitcher with R.A. Dickey, but bounced back in the NLCS matchup as Daniel Murphy, Kyle Schwarber, and Jorge Soler all went yard. We have two elimination games on the slate for Wednesday. Will the World Series be set come tomorrow? I […]


FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/20/2015

If tonight's contests look like the ALCS Game 3 (19 runs), things are going to be fun. If we get what we've seen from the NLDS to this point (nine runs in two games), we're going to die from boredom. Let's hope for the former! Today we get to analyze the Cubs trying to fight […]


Week 7 Deeper Sleepers: Time to Take Stefon Diggs Seriously

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Last week resulted in mixed success for those that followed along. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ben Watson, and Minnesota D/ST were excellent plays, while Willie Snead had a mediocre game and DeVante Parker was invisible (again). […]


Week 6 Deeper Sleepers: All In On Snead

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Not to toot my own horn, but if you followed my picks last week you killed it in Week 5. Josh McCown, Gary Barnidge, Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin, and the Falcons Defense all had excellent outings […]


Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Priority Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

22% Owned in Fleaflicker Honestly, Willie Snead should have been included in last week's segment. Snead continued his emergence as a top option in the Saints' passing attack, racking up six catches on 11 targets for 141 yards. His 11 targets led the team in Week 5. There's reasonable debate as to who is the top receiver […]


DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Deeper Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

21% Owned in Fleaflicker Here's a name you've had shoved down your throats by fantasy pundits (myself included) only to see marginals returns to this point. He only has four catches on eight targets for 49 yards, so it's understandable why most owners have jumped ship. But it's time to consider giving the rookie a […]


Benjamin Watson (TE, NO) - Deeper Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

8% Owned in Fleaflicker We're officially running on fumes for sleeper tight ends. The Saints offense continues to be a work in progress, with roles still being solidified from wide receiver (hello, Willie Snead) to tight end. A lot of preseason hype was given to Josh Hill to take over for Jimmy Graham, but that […]


Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

25% Owned in Fleaflicker Back to the Harvard well! We focused on Fitzy in our Week Four edition and he returned modest results (16.72 in standard scoring). He gets the call here... well mainly because the options are so slim. Seriously, here your other options that are owner in under 25% of leagues: Kirk Cousins (at NYJ), […]


FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/13/15

THERE'S some offense for ya! An MLB Playoff record 21 home runs were crushed yesterday and all four games were in on the action. Aside from the Blue Jays-Rangers game they were exciting events to watch and all four were excellent opportunities to make winning FanDuel lineups. Today we get two NLDS Game 4's to analyze […]


FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/11

Well, yesterday was interesting to say the least. The Chase Utley slide swung the momentum for the Dodgers in a game they looked to be in big trouble. The Cubs fought back to even their series and head home with Jake Arrieta looming. Today we get two ALDS Game 3s to analyze and use to […]


FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/10

Welcome to  our first weekend of playoff baseball. We saw Toronto go into panic mode falling down 2-0 as the series heads to Arlington. Kansas City fought back in a game that would've likely been their death kneel as they face Dallas Keuchel on Sunday, now tied 1-1. John Lackey displayed his dominance at home […]


FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, and Advice for 10/9

We got our first taste of ALDS action yesterday with the Rangers and Astros each stealing a game on the road. Our MLB Hitter Streamers Tool had Robinson Chirinos as a sleeper which paid off for those you who followed along. Today we're treated to a quartet of all-day baseball starting with the Rangers-Blue Jays […]


Tavon Austin Is A Sneaky Waiver Wire Add

Another week, another Rams WR leads the passing game. Tavon Austin was excellent at Arizona, catching six balls for 96 yards and two scores while leading all WR in Week 4. He seven targets were enough to lead the team as the Rams only chucked the ball 24 times. The Todd Gurley Show was the […]


Atlanta Falcons (ATL, DEF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

We're going back to the well! The Falcons forced four turnovers last week in a 48-21 demolishing of Houston. They scored two defensive touchdowns as well, including a time-expiring fumble return to pad the stats. This week they get Kirk Cousins on the Redskins. Cousins is 1-6 on the road in his career and has […]


Is Gary Barnidge Actually A Viable Fantasy Option?

Barnidge fits our ownership requirements for waiver wire adds, and deserves to be acknowledged with his recent play. He followed up his breakout Week 3 with an excellent game Week 4, catching all six of his targets for 75 yards and a score. If you had no idea who Barnidge was before the season you're […]


Stream Josh McCown As A Bye Week Fill-In?

Have no fear Cam Newton owners, Josh McCown is here. Wait, what? That's right, I said start McCown. In his past two starts he has been carving, completing 60-of-90 passes for 697 yards and four touchdowns. Don't forget that McCown was leading the Browns on their opening drive at New York Jets until a helicopter fall […]


Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14-16+ Team Leagues (or Jamaal Charles handcuff) OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We're going really deep here. The running back market is once again thin so we're going to have do some speculating. Roy Helu Jr. makes an interesting option considering the Latavius Murray injury/fumble benching in the second half, but I'm not buying […]
