156 articles

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

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals in Week 2

  Players That Are Making Me Nervous Originally I didn't plan to make this a weekly column for the entire fantasy football season, but it just lends itself so well. Every fantasy football owner's worst nightmare is drafting someone on draft day, just to see them underperform and not put up nearly enough points for […]


Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's clear to everyone except maybe the Colts that Ahmad Bradshaw has easily outplayed Trent Richardson, in just about any NFL game that the two of them have played together. In standard fantasy football leagues, over the first two games of the season, Bradshaw […]


Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mark Ingram was due for a breakout year this year. He was finally having it, and then he went and broke his hand on Sunday. Enter Khiry Robinson, who if you ask me, is Mark Ingram's more talented compliment. Khiry Robinson grades out as a more […]

Week 3 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Last week in this running backs waiver wire column I recommended some players to consider adding to your teams, and here's how they performed in Week 2: Justin Forsett (11.2 PPR points), Chris Ivory (11.6 PPR points), James Starks (0.00 points), and Mark Ingram (19.4 PPR points). I don't foresee Forsett being that great in anything but […]

Jeremy Hill (Cin, RB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in All Leagues / Add in All Keeper & Dynasty Formats Owned in 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There was a lot of talk this pre-season about the exciting young running back for the Bengals named Jeremy Hill. He was going to compliment Giovani Bernard in a thunder-and-lightning type offensive ground attack. However, […]

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals in Week 1

  Players That Are Making Me Nervous Let's take a look at some NFL players that had "beware of bad games" signs posted on their front lawns this past week. This article is not meant to make any of you panic, but at the same time I wanted to share my thoughts on a few […]


Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12+ Team Leagues / All PPR Leagues Owned in 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Someone had to catch passes with Josh Gordon "gone for the year". That's in quotes because it seems that we may actually end up seeing Gordon in action this year. However, the person to stand up in his […]

Week 2 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Hey guys, for those of you that don't know me I'm Rek. Until the fantasy football season started, I had been writing MLB and fantasy baseball content for RotoBaller. Now I'll also be writing a weekly fantasy football column focusing on running backs who are not as widely owned as they should be, and I […]


Fantasy Baseball Players Trending Up and Down in Late August

Well Rotoballers, we've just about reached the end of the fantasy baseball season. Many of your leagues are about to begin the playoffs, and I hope my advice throughout the year has helped you make the cut. If my advice didn't pan out, that wasn't me. That was some guy named Ralph who hacked my account. […]


2014 Fantasy Football Sleepers: Quarterback (QB) Draft Values

  Quarterback Draft Values & Potential ADP Sleepers Two QB leagues are crazy. I recently drafted one, and the draft almost made no sense to me. It's contrary to what most of us do, because you want to draft your first quarterback pretty high in the draft. It also means that you could end up with […]


Danny Amendola (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: ~115 (ADP135,WR55) ANALYSIS: Speaking of guys who get injured pretty frequently, have you met Danny Amendola? He's only played in 16 games once in his five year career - the highest he has ever finished at the wide receiver position is being the 47th best in the fantasy game. Yikes. So why am […]


Hakeem Nicks (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 (ADP 115, WR 44) ANALYSIS: I understand why Hakeem Nicks' ADP is this low, and even lower on some boards. It's a case of too many mouths for Andrew Luck to feed, his injury history, and the fact that in the past two years Hakeem Nicks has finished +50 in the wide […]


Fantasy Baseball Players Trending Up and Down (Week 21)

Don't worry baseball fans,we I haven't forgotten about you guys. There is room enough for me to love both fantasy football and fantasy baseball at the same time - that's what we're here for. The march to the fantasy baseball playoffs and fantasy championships continues. Either you're in the thick of the race, or hopefully you're […]


Fantasy Baseball Players Trending Up and Down (Week 20)

The march to the fantasy playoffs continues. Either you're in the thick of the race, or hopefully you're in a keeper/dynasty and thinking about next year. If you're in the playoffs, you probably want to stick with the guys you have, but if your league's deadline hasn't passed yet, let me highlight some possible trade […]


Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~90 (Current ADP: 103, QB14) ANALYSIS: Da Bears franchise Quaterback has the capability of being a top 10 QB this year, and he isn't being drafted like one. I love Jay Cutler and not just because he made some really funny guest appearances in the league. No, I love Jay Cutler because he […]


Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100-110 ( Current ADP: 135, RB47) ANALYSIS: Ok, so I'm sure most of you know by now that Chris Ivory has some bruised ribs. However, according to some sources I trust it should not impact him for long and he should be fine to start the season. Now let's get to why I'm […]


Brian Hartline (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 ( Current ADP: 176 ADP, WR50) ANALYSIS: Before I tell you why Brian Hartline is a nice sleeper, do yourself a favor and read the article by Edward G about Ryan Tannehill. Now that we're all on the same page about why I like Tannehill going into the year, I'd like to […]


Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 (Current ADP 131, WR49) ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle has always been a talent that the Giants liked, hence why they drafted him in the 2nd round of the 2012 draft. The main thing standing in Randle's way of being a high impact performer has seemed to be that Eli Manning has had the […]


Fantasy Baseball Players Trending Up and Trending Down (Week 19)

The march to the fantasy baseball playoffs and league titles continues. Fortunately, I'll be providing you some handy insight into what players are getting hot at the right time and what players you need to ice. Depending on your team needs and what stats you need to focus on going forward, you may be able to find some sleepers […]

Derek Jeter: The Man. The Icon. The Fantasy Legend.

If you were alive during the 90s, you know the name Derek Jeter, unless you lived under a rock. If you played baseball during that time, you probably attempted to imitate his swing. If you grew up in New York, and were asked to write a paper about who your hero was, the answer was […]


Jake Odorizzi (SP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jake Odorizzi was hyped as a sleeper coming into the season. Like Marcus Stroman, he is another young kid who struggled to start the season. On may 20th his ERA sat at 4.98 and his WHIP was 1.59. What still made him intriguing if he could ever get his […]


Marcus Stroman (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Stroman was a highly thought of prospect for the Jays coming into the year. Unfortunately, between May 4th and May 14th, the Blue Jays decided to experiment by having Stroman go to their bullpen. It resulted in a obscene 12.79 ERA, 5.68 K/9, and 2.21 WHIP. The start […]


MLB Trade Deadline Analysis and Fantasy Baseball Impacts

Well it’s been a crazy deadline hasn’t it? Lots of big names on the move to new teams, and with that, lots of players who have changing value in fantasy baseball. I’m going to highlight some major players who have changed teams and how I expect it’ll impact their values.   Trade 1 Red Sox […]


Trending Up & Trending Down: Week 18 Report

We are creeping closer and closer to the end of the fantasy baseball season and the playoffs. Meaning it's getting more and more important to pay attention to who is getting hot and who is getting cold. A hot player could make the difference between making the playoffs or not. So could a cold player. […]


Drew Smyly (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues; Continue Scouting in Shallow Leagues ANALYSIS: Drew Smyly is someone I had as a preseason sleeper. I really expected him to breakout this year, and get a decent amount of wins with that powerful Tigers' offense behind him. Unfortunately, at the end of May Smyly didn't really live up […]


Jacob deGrom (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacob deGrom had not been that impressive in his minor league career with middling ERA numbers in the 4.00 + and not overly impressive strikeout totals, leading many to talk about other Mets prospects such as Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Zach Wheeler, and others before they mentioned deGrom. […]


Adam Eaton (OF, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 team leagues for steals ANALYSIS: I had Adam Eaton pegged to be a breakout this season after making his way from the Dbacks to the ChiSox. Unfortunately, very early in the season Eaton hurt his hamstring and had to spend 15 days on the disabled list. However, Eaton has still managed […]


Colby Rasmus (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Once considered a big time prospect within the Cardinals organization, Colby Rasmus had his best year in 2010 when he hit .276, with 23 HRS, 85 runs scored, 66 RBIs, and 12 steals. That's very solid production. Unfortunately, his numbers have not come close to that since. This year […]
