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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

Fantasy Football Fallers: Chris Ivory, Ronnie Hillman, Eli Manning & More

Week 9 had quite a lot of players going off, though rest assured there were still plenty of disappointments to go around.

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 10 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

While Week 8 was a disaster for injuries (and thus a gold mine on the waiver wire), Week 9 only has a few must add types. That said, some names that became relevant thanks to fallout from Week 8 may still available because they were on a bye. Week 10 will have the Falcons, Colts, […]

Grab Richard Rodgers at His Low Point

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rodgers hasn’t scored since Week 4, and his ownership levels have reflected a mellowing out on the Rodgers’ hype.
