I like Pina Coladas and fantasy sports-but in seriousness I grew up a hardcore New York Sports fan. My bedroom is so covered in baseball and football memorabilia that my friends jokingly refer it to as the mini Hall of Fame. They're probably right. If you have any questions, are looking for advice, or just want a friendly person to chat with follow my twitter @RekedFantasy

Articles

Mark Ingram (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All leagues ANALYSIS: Before going down with a hand injury Mark Ingram, was having the break-out year many of us had wished for him. On the season he has rushed 24 times for 143 yards and 3 touchdowns, in only 2 games. That would be a 6.0 yards per carry average... […]

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals After Week 6

  Players That Are Making Me Nervous For Week 7 First, a quick follow up to last week's article: LeSean McCoy obviously decided to bust out after I wrote about him here. The Darren Sproles injury doesn't hurt his chances to continue producing at a high level, either. However, Zac Stacy continued to look bad against […]


Isaiah Crowell (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 32% of Fleaflickes leagues ANALYSIS: Isaiah Crowell, the man I’ve previously referred to as Scarecrow, is moving up in the world. He ran 11 times Sunday for 77 yards and a touchdown. That’s a very tidy 7.0 yards per carry. And that’s not the only exciting news for […]


Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues / Monitor in All PPR Leagues Owned in 19% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It’s hard to know how long Shonn Greene will be out since hamstring injuries are hard to gauge. However, the fantasy community has been buzzing about Bishop Sankey for weeks now. Unfortunately, all Sankey did was respond with 18 carries […]


Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush found himself inactive for Sunday’s game due to an ankle injury. Not the best time to be inactive when your team has a plus matchup against a bad run defense, but you know, it happens. I’m not bitter that he was […]


Ronnie Hillman (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I didn’t want to cover a Broncos RB in detail last week, but I they really forced my hand this week. Hillman took over the lead back job from the injured Montee Ball, and he made Ball look bad in the process. Hillman rushed […]


James White (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Dynasty Leagues / Stash in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 9% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Who is James White? He’s a rookie running back weighing in at 5’9” and 204 lbs., taken by the Patriots in the fourth round of this year’s draft. Why am I mentioning him? Because Stevan Ridley tore his ACL / […]


Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues Owned in 7% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: As a Giants fan, it pains me to have recommend a Cowboys running back. But I take my job of helping you guys find running backs very seriously, so I do what I must. You all know by now that DeMarco Murray is playing like he […]

Week 7 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

There were eighteen possible running backs I could have covered this week in my running backs waiver wire piece. Since some of them are guys I've mentioned in this column before, I figured I'd quickly touch on them and offer my updated thoughts. They're not listed in order of relevance. And below that you will find my […]

Austin Davis (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Pick up in 2-QB leagues, 12 team dynasty leagues and consider as a QB streamer Owned in 21% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: 2014 has seen the Rams go through Sam Bradford, Shaun Hill, and now finally Austin Davis. I believe that that the Rams have found their guy in Davis, and a few […]

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals in Week 5

Players That Are Making Me Nervous For Week 6 Of course because I finally showed concern about him last week Cam Newton finally had a decent game. However both Cordarrelle Patterson and Pierre Garcon did not have good games as I expected. I'd still be trying to sell on Garcon's name value as fast as possible and […]

Week 6 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It seems like every other week there are a ton of injuries in the NFL. This week was no exception with injuries to brand names like Reggie Bush, Rashad Jennings, and  Montee Ball. Donald Brown also went down, but given how he's performed I'm not sure anyone was too upset. What do these injuries mean for you […]

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warnings Signals in Week 4

Players That Are Making Me Nervous For Week 5 Tom Brady has been mentioned in this piece now 3 weeks running. On Monday night's moderated chat with Zach, I mentioned that I thought the Chiefs would win the game and that would cement Brady's lost season. Well, it happened and Jimmy Garopollo made Brady look pretty […]


Denard Robinson (RB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues 4% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: To know how much I dislike Toby Gerhart all you have to do is read this article I wrote a few weeks ago. Since then, Gerhart has done nothing to reassure me.  There was a chance that with Bortles as the QB we might see some improved numbers from Gerhart....but nope, […]


Branden Oliver (RB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues  4% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: By now you’re probably sick of hearing about all the injures to the Chargers backfield. Ryan Mathews is dealing with an ankle injury and Danny Woodhead is unfortunately out for the year. That left us all with Donald Brown, whom many experts rushed to tell you to pick up. Brown has been solid […]


Darrin Reaves (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues 4% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You know you’re really looking deep when we recommend an undrafted rookie, but Reaves might be the best running back pickup of week 5 as he now finds himself with an opportunity to be the lead back for the Panthers. He rushed 12 times for only 26 yards and […]


Ka’deem Carey (RB, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep 14+ Team Leagues 9% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mr. Carey introduced himself to the world on Sunday against the packers by rushing 14 times for 72 yards. In fact, as surprisingly good as the Packers secondary has been, their run defense has been just as bad.  The Packers allowed over 200 rushing yards to the […]


Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues 33% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Make no mistake, Rashad Jennings is still the workhorse for this Giants offense. The main reason that Andre Williams got as many carries as he did Thursday night was that the game was an absolute blowout for the Giants, and because the Giants are doing their best to […]


Travaris Cadet (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues 1% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pierre Thomas has more or less disappeared since the first game of the season. It’s entirely possible he could still be the new “Darren Sproles” but so far this season he doesn’t look like it. While Travaris Cadet did nothing in the running game, he caught all six of […]

Week 5 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This is not a particularly strong week for running back pickups as you may have already noticed. Some of the usual suspects such as Lorenzo Taliaferro, Antone Smith,Bishop Sankey, Matt Asiata, and Jerick McKinnon make the list if they are still out there but after that you're pretty much digging for a needle in a […]


Week 5 Live Fantasy Football Q&A With Zach W. & Bobby K. (9/29)

Monday Evening - Live Fantasy Football Chat RotoBaller Zach Wilkens (@LopsidedTrades) and Bobby Koch (@RekedFantasy) will be bantering about Week 4 of NFL and fantasy football action, and answering your fantasy football questions on Monday September 29th at 6:00 PM EST. Come join in on the fun, and get your fantasy football lineups, sleepers, risers/fallers, PPR, keeper, dynasty, player analysis, […]


Antone Smith (RB, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The below analysis first appeared in RotoBaller's article Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds. BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues as Bench Depth Owned in 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: At some point Steven Jackson has to stop being the big fierce back we have all come to know and love right? Well, maybe not. But when/if he does, […]


Lorenzo Taliaferro (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The below analysis first appeared in RotoBaller's article Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds. BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Remember when the Ray Rice situation first broke and everyone told you to go add Justin Forsett? Remember when I was one of those people? You don’t? You’re very kind. But unless […]

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals in Week 3

  Players That Are Making Me Nervous Just a quick follow up to last week's piece - I am officially concerned about Tom Brady. An "elite" quarterback who can't torch the Raiders is no longer an elite quarterback. I'm also still very concerned about Torrey Smith and would be getting rid of him as soon as […]


Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 team leagues or deeper Owned in 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green is a promising young tight end for the Chargers. Unfortunately for him, so far this year it seems like Antonio Gates isn't willing to admit that he's not an elite TE anymore. Gates has 18 targets to Green's 8. […]


Cecil Shorts (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 teams or deeper 56% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Apparently beginning the season with a hamstring injury is a good way to get yourself forgotten. These days all everyone does is talk of Allen Robinson or Marqise Lee. But let's not so quickly forget that Cecil Shorts has been the most […]


John Brown (WR, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+team leagues ANALYSIS: John Brown is a highly heralded rookie wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, and so far in three games played he has 3 TDs. Some people might say this makes him too touchdown dependent for his fantasy points, but he also is averaging 12.1 yards per reception in his […]


K.C. Alfred UT San Diego

Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Some quick thoughts before we dig into the best waiver wire pickups at running back for week 4. Sorry Danny Woodhead owners. I share in your pain. Also, Eddie Lacy owners don't panic yet. He had a really tough schedule, he'll be just fine. Now let's get started. You all know the drill by now. […]
