Week 13 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Alex Smith, C.J. Anderson, David Johnson & More!

December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with. Of course now we can fall into the trap of drawing too much value from year long statistics that really aren't so accurate, as the team looked quite different in its first […]


Tyrod Taylor: Should You Care About Him With the Playoffs Approaching?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor came into Sunday after looking beaten up with an arm/shoulder injury in that brawl that was the Patriots/Bills game last Monday night, and he was also going on the road to face a Chiefs defense this week that had […]


The Other Rodgers: What Richard Rodgers Can Provide for Owners

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As has been said about Richard, he is reliant on getting into the end zone for his production to be worth it, and unfortunately the Packers have hit a tough stretch recently in the world of scoring touchdowns. They got back […]


Jacob Tamme: What Leonard Hankerson Coming Back Means for His Owners and More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacob Tamme put another good game up on Sunday, catching five of six targets for 69 yards. As you may or may not be aware, Jacob Tamme’s performance seems to be tethered to Leonard Hankerson’s health. When Hankerson doesn’t play, Tamme […]


Can Kyle Rudolph Lead Your Team to Holiday Cheer?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kyle Rudolph put up the highest total for a tight end in Week 11 and followed that up with a disappointing game on Sunday (on the surface). He actually had more targets in Week 12’s effort than he did in Week […]


What to Make of Nate Washington Moving Forward?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: > There’s no questioning that the Houston Texans’ receiving corps is led by DeAndre Hopkins by a pretty wide margin. Nate Washington is not to be overlooked though. Hopkins, Cecil Shorts, and Nate Washington make a pretty sneaky three wide set […]


Why Cecil Shorts Deserves Deep League Love

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In the five games prior to Week 10 (when Cecil Shorts returned from injury) that he had appeared in, Shorts averaged nine targets per game thanks to an offense that frequently finds itself in catchup mode. The Texans also lack a […]


Brandon Bolden: Late Season Lottery Ticket

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Bolden is part of the New England backfield that really doesn’t have much of an identity right now. The Patriots are leaning hard on the arm of Tom Brady in the wake of the multitude of injuries that New […]


FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 13 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Tyrod Taylor, Dontrelle Inman, DeVante Parker & More!

Week 12 wasn't all that crazy as far as big names going down is concerned. That said, there are still plenty of guys who available in over half of leagues that easily qualify as being helpful. And as always, handcuffs are a big thing at this point in the year. Do note that this is […]


Week 13 Fantasy Football Fallers: Matt Ryan, Lamar Miller, Dez Bryant & More

We had some pretty interesting games this weekend. There were some serious duds being turned in on Thanksgiving (DeMarco Murray, Tony Romo, Dez Bryant Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb), leaving plenty of people to drown their sorrows of falling into an early hole with tons of food. Seriously, it could be worse. Without further ado, let's check […]


Week 13 Fantasy Football Risers: Philip Rivers, C.J. Anderson, Sammy Watkins & More!

Week 13 is bearing down on us, and in the fantasy football world that means most folks are going into the last game of the regular season for them. Going into the do or die week, we'd much rather feel like we've got players on our squad that are more prone to "do" rather than […]


Week 12 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Ryan Tannehill, Ronnie Hillman, Tyler Lockett & More

Everyone has now feasted on their turduckens and we're ready to roll out of our food coma and check out what the deal is with Week 12 DFS for the weekend. The game with the highest projected point total from Vegas is the Washington-New York tilt which has a line of 47.5 points. Tampa Bay/Indianapolis, […]


Week 12 Fantasy Football Fallers: Philip Rivers, Chris Ivory, Amari Cooper & More

In Week 12 we really saw a lot of low scores across plenty of fantasy leagues. There were some big performances from names that were filling in for others. Perhaps you had Marshawn Lynch or Charcandrick West going into Week 11, but it was their backups that got to take advantage of the plus matchups. […]


Week 12 Fantasy Football Risers: Matthew Stafford, Eddie Lacy, DeSean Jackson & More

How in the world is Week 12 here already? Thanksgiving is coming up with three games to satiate that football appetite, and if that doesn't do it then you can house a turducken in honor of John Madden. While we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week […]


FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 12 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Thomas Rawls, Buck Allen, Jameis Winston & More

While Week 8 was still the biggest fantasy football graveyard week for injuries, Week 11 was certainly no picnic either (and Monday Night Football has yet to go, bubble wrap your players). Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out, […]


Week 11 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Mark Sanchez, Ronnie Hillman, Zach Ertz, & More!

Week 11 is here and ready to make dreams come true. There aren't any games this week that have projected point totals of over 50 points. The closest we've got is the 49.5 total that the Detroit-Oakland game is offering. This doesn't mean that there isn't cheaper fun to be had though. There is still plenty […]


Tyrod Taylor: Your Week 11 Safety Valve... And More?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor is still available in over half of Fleaflicker leagues, and while his performances in the past two weeks since he returned from injury haven't been blowing the roof off, the potential is still there. The truth of the matter […]


Jacob Tamme: Short Term Tight End Help

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues if Hankerson is out, Add in 14+ Team Leagues if Hankerson is active. OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacob Tamme has strung together some good games and is now coming off of a bye week his ownership dropped by 5%. In Tamme’s last two games he […]


Crockett Gillmore: Invest in Flacco's Best Redzone Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He won’t be the most consistent option for fantasy owners, but he has a decent amount of upside in a Baltimore offense that doesn’t really have any dominant force on it. He turned in four receptions for 42 yards and a […]


Stretch Run Value: Richard Rodgers

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He'll be reliant on getting into the end zone for his production to be worth it, but the Packers clearly don't have much of a reliable run game to fall back on right now. Richard Rodgers followed up his five catch, […]


Dorial Green-Beckham: Will the Numbers Back Up the Name?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one should have been expecting anything out of him against the Panthers, and hopefully he sees a dip in ownership thanks to the goose egg he posted this past weekend. He still isn't going to be consistent, but he is […]


Chris Givens: Coming Into His Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Most owners are going to be flocking to Kamar Aiken since he is the de facto #1 receiver for the Ravens nowadays. While Aiken is definitely worth your, don't let Chris Givens just fall through the cracks if you're speculating or […]


Dwayne Harris: Demanding Your Attention With His Play

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The news came in that Victor Cruz will officially not play in 2015, as he will undergo season ending surgery. This means that Dwayne Harris is locked in for the rest of the year as the Giants' slot man. Harris has […]


Deeper PPR Value: Cecil Shorts

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Texans’ ugly Week 10 game against the Bengals was Shorts’ first action since Week 6 thanks to a hamstring injury. Before Week 6 he had a shoulder injury. In the five games prior to Week 10 that he had […]


Nate Washington: Still Underowned

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no questioning that the Houston Texans’ receiving corps is led by DeAndre Hopkins by a pretty wide margin. Nate Washington is not to be overlooked though. Hopkins, Cecil Shorts, and Nate Washington make a pretty sneaky three wide set that […]


Marvin Jones: Not Just an Afterthought

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Watching the Monday Night Football tilt between the Bengals and Texans did not yield a lot of smiles for fantasy owners outside of those who had the defenses, but there were still bright spots. One such bright spot would be Marvin […]


Week 11 Fantasy Football Fallers: The Bengals Offense, Alshon Jeffery, Emmanuel Sanders & More

In Week 11 we really only saw Julian Edelman (foot) go down to serious injury, though the Peyton Manning (plantar fasciitis) news is pretty noteworthy, however if anything it just sets Manning owners free from the temptation of playing him. Sam Bradford hurt his shoulder and was concussed, though the latest reports have him just […]


Week 11 Fantasy Football Risers: Eli Manning, Charcandrick West, Michael Floyd & More

Now we're getting towards being two-thirds of the way through the fantasy football season and there's still plenty of movement among numerous players' stocks. While we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week of football serves to remind us that "any given Sunday" is a real thing. We have […]


FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 11 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Danny Amendola, Matt Jones, Tyrod Taylor & More

With each passing week of the NFL season, the waiver wire options are going to get thinner and thinner. Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out, have done so. Injuries really are the biggest source of pickups. It becomes […]


Week 10 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Blake Bortles, Theo Riddick, Rueben Randle & More!

Here we go, into the double digit weeks already. Week 10 is here and ready to make dreams come true. We're here because there is plenty of value calling far down on the player lists in DraftKings' player pool. There are a few big games this week with high projected point totals that we'll want […]
