Running Backs Waiver Wire: Week 10 Pickups & Adds

The running back position continues to be the most unpredictable element of fantasy football and Week 9 was no exception. In a week where Harris, Hightower and Bibbs ranked among the top ten fantasy scorers, outproducing the likes of Bell, Murray, and Gurley, nothing should be surprising at this point. Who will be the next […]

You've read about all the sleepers, waiver wire pickups and starter suggestions based on matchups. Now let me burst some bubbles and tell you who I think is going to bust big time in Week 9. This isn't to troll or spread hate - that's what those political sites are for. Think of this as a […]

It's time for the Week 9 installment of Thursday night matchups with my start/sit recommendations. This week the first place Atlanta Falcons travel to Tampa Bay for a battle with the 3-4 Buccaneers. It's a short turnaround for both teams coming off extremely close games. The Falcons pulled out a one-point victory at home against the […]

NBA Bench Risers for Fantasy Basketball Week 2

NBA teams have a multitude of players coming off the bench, each with a unique role to fill. As a fantasy owner, you need to decide which of those players can contribute across multiple categories and have the potential to make the most of their time on the court. To find bench players that can contribute more than […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire: Week 9 Pickups & Adds

Injuries reared their ugly head again in Week 8 as more high profile runners left early or couldn't perform. C.J. Anderson appears to be done for the year, Spencer Ware left early with a concussion and Matt Jones has a knee injury on top of his fumbling issues. In a highly volatile position, there are always a […]

Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As soon as Mark Ingram fumbled in the first quarter against Seattle, his day was over. The Saints then dusted off Tim Hightower and made him the primary back for the remainder of the game. He responded with 102 rushing yards on 26 carries, providing […]

Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As mentioned above, Spencer Ware didn't see the field in the second half against the Colts after leaving with a suspected concussion. Even if Ware clears the concussion protocol in time to play against Jacksonville next week, Charcandrcik West should get enough snaps to have […]

Alfred Morris (RB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At the time of this writing, the Cowboys-Eagles game hasn't even kicked off, yet Alfred Morris could be the most important waiver add of the week. Recent reports have suggested that Ezekiel Elliott could be suspended for a significant amount of time due to a […]

Rob Kelley (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rob Kelley stepped into the lead role for Washington with Matt Jones out and performed well, running the ball for 87 yards and a touchdown. Kelley would be rated higher for Week 9, but the Redskins have a bye and it isn't clear whether […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lewis practiced with the Patriots this week after being activated from the PUP list. He should be activated within the next three weeks and take over the pass-catching role from James White. Lewis caught 36 passes for 388 yards in just seven games last year and ran […]

Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 66% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pete Carroll said that Thomas Rawls is still a couple of weeks away from game action. That could mean a return as early as Week 10. That is the optimistic timeline, however, as Rawls could also be shelved until early December if he doesn't recover […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues for owners of Lamar Miller OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A lingering shoulder injury for Lamar Miller has led to higher usage for Alfred Blue. In Week 8, Blue had nine rushing attempts for 41 yards. In an extended audition to be the starter in place of Arian Foster last […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the starter gets hurt, the backup to the backup suddenly has value. Kapri Bibbs only took eight snaps against San Diego, but he is now the handcuff to last week's hottest waiver add, Devontae Booker. At 5'9", 212 lbs, the undrafted free agent out of […]

Chris Ivory (RB, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the Jags signed Ivory to a huge contract this offseason, you would think it would lead to more than four carries in a prime time Thursday night game against a division rival. Ivory has been a victim of a bad offensive line and […]

Week 8 NFL Matchups Analysis (Part 1) - Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Below you will find part one of our Week 8 NFL matchups & fantasy football start/sit analysis for the 2016 NFL football season. Pierre Camus (@pfunk00) breaks down the first half of the Week 8 matchups to help you prepare your lineups to win this week.

10 Fantasy Football Lineup Busts for Week 8

You've read about all the sleepers, waiver wire pickups and starter suggestions based on matchups. Now let me burst some bubbles and tell you who I think is going to bust big time in Week 8. This isn't to troll or spread hate - that's what those political sites are for. Think of this as a […]

Week 8 Thursday Night NFL Matchups Analysis: Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

It's time for the Week 8 installment of Thursday night matchups with my start/sit recommendations. This week, two AFC South teams battle to stay out of last place in the division as the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Tennessee Titans. Each week of the NFL season, we will be breaking down every game and providing you with […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups & Adds

Several hot players who were languishing on waivers just a week or two ago have now exceeded the 50% threshold for this column. Hopefully you took a chance on Jay Ajayi or Jacquizz Rodgers when they were available. Mike Gillislee is currently at 51%, so he won't get a write-up here, but remains a viable […]

Zach Zenner (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Zach Zenner found the end zone on a goal-line play, ending his day with nine carries for 29 yards. He won't rip off many long runs and should be viewed strictly as a short yardage back. The Lions could get Theo Riddick and/or Dwayne Washington back […]

Rob Kelley (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Monitor in deep leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rob Kelley also saw some time after Matt Jones entered the dog house with his fumbling ways and produced a receiving touchdown. Kelley only carried the ball four times for 15 yards, but has shown some potential when given the chance. He isn't worth owning at the moment, but […]

Ka'Deem Carey (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues if you own Jordan Howard OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ka'Deem Carey surprisingly outsnapped Jordan Howard in Thursday night's loss at Green Bay. He had slightly more success too, running for 48 yards on 10 carries. He shouldn't be a threat to Howard's starting job, but could be worked into the rotation more frequently […]

Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues if healthy for next Sunday OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yes, I'm still stumping for D-Wash (the Detroit one). Dwayne Washington was expected to play this week, but needed a bit more time to recover from a bum ankle. Justin Forsett hasn't done anything to hold onto the job and Theo Riddick remains out, […]

Knile Davis (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The presumed new starting RB for Green Bay only carried the ball three times and managed to end up with -1 yard on Thursday. To be fair, Knile Davis only had a couple of days to prepare for his debut in a Packers uniform. Then again, he […]

Chris Ivory (RB, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 69% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory only carried the ball five times on Sunday, but that was more a result of game flow. T.J. Yeldon only carried the ball six times as the Jags just couldn't muster any offense. Ivory did rip off a 47-yard run, but did nothing on his remaining carries. […]

C.J. Prosise (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Seahawks were eager enough to get C.J. Prosise on the field that they deactivated recent acquisition C.J. Spiller for Week 7 and only gave one carry to backup Alex Collins. The third-round pick out of Notre Dame didn't see much action, carrying the ball once for […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Whether Devontae Booker sees more carries on Monday Night Football remains to be seen, but he is among the top handcuffs to own at the moment. Booker hasn't necessarily seen his usage increase, with just five rushes last week, but he has shown more burst than C.J. Anderson. Coach […]

Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Jones' lost fumble turned into Chris Thompson's repeated gains. Jones fumbled straight into the end zone on a goal-line opportunity and only saw 10 carries on the day as a result. Thompson then saw a jump in carries, turning 12 runs into 73 yards. His […]

Week 7 Monday Night NFL Matchups Analysis: Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

This week, it's a clash of two division leaders as the Houston Texans travel to the Mile High city to battle the Denver Broncos.
