Jonathan Stewart and Darren McFadden Giving Thanks to their Increased Workload

Jonathan Stewart and Darren McFadden will compete in a figurative pulling of the wish bone during Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup of the undefeated Carolina Panthers and suddenly rejuvenated Dallas Cowboys. The Panthers look to stay unbeaten, continuing their magical 2015 run while the Cowboys simply cling onto their dear playoff lives, now with Tony Romo back […]

DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles Looking to be Thankful for their Thanksgiving Performances

There has to be something special about sharing a football field on a day where families across the country are sharing a dinner table, passing plates of stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Every year it seems like an individual or team shines on Turkey Day, and this season, two Philadelphia Eagles running backs can […]

Why Ted Ginn Is No More Than a Stash WR

BALLER MOVE: Stash in deep 12-14 team leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ted Ginn was limited in practice on Monday but practiced in full on Tuesday according to CBS Sports. That's good news for fantasy owners of Ginn and those looking to pick him up off the wire. It should definitely be surprising that […]

Why We'll See Good Kirk Cousins in Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Pick up and start Week 12 OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a rough season for quarterbacks. But if injuries and poor play have done anything beside make fantasy owners scratch their heads in annoyance, it has opened opportunities elsewhere to unlikely producers. Enter Kirk Cousins. Unclear whether Robert Griffin III would play […]

Why You Should Let Isaiah Crowell Sit in FA

BALLER MOVE: Leave on the waiver wire OWNED IN: 65% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns have averaged 75.6 rushing yards per game, the second fewest in the NFL. Crowell has a measly 328 rushing yards on 107 attempts, and only one rushing touchdown to go with it. After season-highs of 72 and 63 rushing […]

Tony Romo (QB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 84% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It would be surprising if Tony Romo was still available in your league, but if he is stop reading and go grab him. Before we jump into the logistics of everything, just think about if Romo wasn't injured for seven games, he would be […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/23/15

All the players you see below will most likely not explode onto scoresheets, but they will free up cap space and have the potential to put up a quick 20 points. This is a lineup consisting strictly of sleepers. They aren't consistent options but will serve as solid place holders that can capitalize on injuries, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/22/15

This season, it's been easier to predict which sleepers will produce. Follow the injury report, check out their minutes played, match-ups, etc. The difficult part, selecting superstars who will go off and throw up big numbers that'll make you two-step into the money. That makes the bloated price you paid for them worth it, an […]

Brock Osweiler or Matt Hasselbeck in an Emergency Role?

My my, the fantasy year it’s been for both Peyton Manning and his successor in Indianapolis, Andrew Luck. Manning has nearly double the amount of interceptions (17) than he does touchdowns (9). Luck has 13 interceptions in a surprisingly average season for the fourth year quarterback. Both have battled through injuries. Now they tag in their replacements. […]

Allen Robinson, Julius Thomas, Delanie Walker Barely Headline Thursday Night

If you started kickers Jason Myers or Ryan Succop last night, then you had a pretty good start to your fantasy week. If you started nearly anyone else, then you didn’t. That may be a bit dramatic but last night’s contest featured an abundance of field goals and a shortage of touchdowns. The Jacksonville Jaguars […]

Benching T.Y. Hilton or Calvin Johnson. Should it Happen?

This late in the season, it’s difficult to bench anyone you drafted early, as if this sudden failure will seep into your lineup. Honestly, it’s not about then, but about now. How affective can a player be for you now, regardless of performances in previous weeks? T.Y. Hilton leads the Indianapolis Colts in targets but has […]

Blakes Bortles or Marcus Mariota?

Tonight’s Thursday night matchup isn’t exactly DVR-worthy, but it will showcase some of the finest young talent in the NFL. Despite the record of both teams, there are playoff implications attached. The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6) are very much alive in a close but sloppy AFC South race, only a game behind the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts […]

Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Keep on the waiver wire Owned In: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: With a season-ending ACL injury to running back Dion Lewis, an opportunity emerged for Brandon Bolden. What did he do with that opportunity? One carry for negative three yards. There was much speculation heading into Week 10 against the New York Giants […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Deep stash in all leagues Owned In: 15% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Bishop Sankey started the season strong with two touchdowns and 86 all-purpose yards Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hasn't done much of anything ever since. The Tennessee Titans have done their best impersonation of a running-back-musical-chairs, not knowing which back would […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Flier in deeper leagues Owned In: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Heading into Week 9 against the Chicago Bears, the San Diego Chargers were without Keenan Allen. After the first quarter Monday night, they lost Malcom Floyd as well. It's now possible that the Chargers will be without either for the rest of the […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned In: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The Amish Rifle with one thumb is still better than Geno Smith. According to ESPN.com, head coach Todd Bowles is hopeful that Fitzpatrick will play Sunday, but is still uncertain about the status of Fitzpatrick's non-throwing thumb. "I have to see how he looks and […]

Mark Sanchez (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Sam Bradford Owned In: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: There really isn't much difference between Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford. Both are two less-than-stellar quarterbacks who still haven't figured out how to protect the ball. The only discernible difference heading into Week 11 is that one will play and the other […]

Joique Bell (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Leave on the waiver wire Owned In: 52% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Bell rushed the ball a season-high 14 times last Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but for only 17 yards. It's surprising how much Bell is owned considering he has done next to nothing all season. It's been a merry-go-round of […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Add and stash Owned In: 63% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: It's difficult to not want a starting running back from any team in your lineup, especially if he's provided fantasy value in the past. After a season-ending injury to starter Arian Foster, it appeared that Alfred Blue would be the top waiver pickup. But Blue has yet […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Ryan Mathews Owned In: 60% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Darren Sproles is a role-player. He always has been throughout his career. Unfortunately, that title doesn't necessarily equate to value in fantasy leagues. However, with the status of running back Ryan Mathews in question Sproles' value could see a boost. Sproles has been […]

What Happens Next for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos Offense?

It isn’t every day that fans see a quarterback break the NFL record for career passing yards, and get benched in the same game. Although not much should surprise fantasy owners anymore this season, as we’ve all witnessed injuries spreading like a rash around the league, except for maybe the consistent play of Peyton Manning. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/15/15

It's important not to get caught up in last night's game or a performance from a couple days ago, but instead to focus on the now, the current matchup. Everyone has off nights, and sometimes all it takes is a tight showdown against the New York Knicks or an injury to a starter for a […]

LeSean McCoy, Karlos Williams, Chris Ivory Showcase Thursday Night's Matchup

A game worth remembering, bringing a head coach back to his former stomping ground, is now a game the New York Jets wish to forget. Rex Ryan returned to the Meadowlands, in a matchup of divisional rivals that had nothing to do with him, as he so adamantly announced during the pregame, and beat a […]

LeGarrette Blount, DeAngelo Williams Seek Opportunities

It seems that no matter who gets hurt in New England, there has always been someone ready to step up and produce in the absence. In 2008, Matt Cassel replaced Tom Brady Week One and led the Patriots to an 11 win season. Although a little less dramatic, this year it's running back LeGarrette Blount's turn […]

Ben Roethlisberger Out, Again, Landry Jones In

Ben Roethlisberger injuries are starting to occur as often as Sidney Crosby dives on the ice. Both are stars who have brought championships to Pittsburgh, one of which refuses to stay healthy. Injuries in general have plagued the Steelers thus far, but two injuries to Big Ben haven't exactly set them back in the standings, […]

Examining Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chris Ivory

Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Eric Decker sat out with a knee injury, and the Jets dropped a sloppy game; one the Eagles had urged them, please, please take this win from us, even when Philadelphia was up 24-7 at half. Week 7 against the Patriots, after two straight games of 100-plus yards on […]

Owen Daniels (TE, Den) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Ignore on the waiver wire Owned In: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Owen Daniels exceeded expectations in Denver's first loss last week against the undefeated Carolina Panthers, posting a fantasy score way above his projection. Don't expect lightning to strike twice though--not with the recent acquisition of Vernon Davis. Despite only playing nine […]

Bryan Walters (WR, Jax) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Allen Hurns OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bryan Walters needs to slip between two Allens to establish any fantasy worth. That is, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, both of whom continue to break out in Jacksonville. Robinson recently visited Revis Island and was one of few able to penetrate the tightly […]
