Doug Martin (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Risers

Well, I did not see that coming. On top of a game that had the second lowest projected point total from Vegas, the Bucs were actually without one of the only decent linemen they have in Logan Mankins. The Jaguars have a good run defense, although they were missing their tackling machine of a middle […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 6: Risers and Fallers From Week 5

Week 6 is here folks. I was pretty underwhelmed with Week 5, but there were still fireworks to be seen. Devonta Freeman continued on his warpath, the Jaguars and Buccaneers scored a ton of points, the Patriots made halftime adjustments and stomped the Cowboys out, and Eli Manning led the Giants to a last minute victory […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Perhaps people dropped him for a hotter option since Steve Smith Sr. went down with an injury, and it is noteworthy that most of Flacco's value against the Browns came from his legs (two rushing touchdowns). That said, he gets to […]

Kamar Aiken (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely with his PCL injury requiring more rehabilitation and Steve Smith Sr. dealing with his rib injury, Aiken caught four balls on nine targets for 78 yards in Week 5.

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: First things first, Rueben Randle had to sit out the end of the Giants’ Sunday night game against the 49ers with a hamstring issue so you’ll need to keep an eye on that. He should be okay though, the Giants have […]

Michael Crabtree (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It can be difficult to talk yourself into adding players who are going into their bye week, but that is all the more reason to be aware of Michael Crabtree heading into this next week. Owners might have dropped him after […]

Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Redskins backfield is becoming very troublesome for owners, but Matt Jones did get a touchdown this past week.

Ryan Mathews (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: A lot of people are going to look at the box score of the Eagles-Saints game and notice how well DeMarco Murray did. What cannot be lost is that Ryan Mathews also had a fantastic game, turning eight carries into 73 […]

Darren McFadden (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While no one likes to talk about the upside of someone suffering an injury, there is little doubting that Darren McFadden benefits greatly from Lance Dunbar’s season ending knee injury. While McFadden had failed to break the 10 point barrier […]

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Duke Johnson had a lot of preseason hype around him get crippled by a concussion, and then when he was activated by Week 1 a lot of owners wondered if he could usurp Isaiah Crowell for starting duties in Cleveland. […]

Three's Not a Crowd For Jamison Crowder

BALLER MOVE: FAAB Bid: $1 - 2 OWNED IN: 6% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeSean Jackson returning is going to cut into Jamison Crowder's snaps, but Washington can't be too picky when it comes to having someone effective on the offensive end. DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon will be good for them, but with Jordan Reed […]

Thomas Rawls a Nice Stash For Rest of Season

BALLER MOVE: FAAB Bid: $6 - 10 / Lynch Owner: $16 - 20 OWNED IN: 30% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Marshawn Lynch out in Week 5, Thomas Rawls was "the guy" again for Seattle over the veteran Fred Jackson.

FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 6 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

So there's one obvious situation that demands attention above all else. Jamaal Charles has suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the 2015 NFL season. For Charles owners this is devastating, and drastic action needs to be taken, and for non-Charles owners, well you get a chance to take his replacement hostage and try […]

Derek Carrier Is A Sneaky Tight End Waiver Option

FAAB Bid: $1-2, 3% owned in Fleaflicker In deep leagues maybe a lot of the fun tight end options to date have been owned for a while, but Jordan Reed's injury opened the door for Derek Carrier to come in and produce. While he didn't see a lot of volume, he still turned three targets into […]

Richard Rodgers (GB, TE) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

FAAB Bid: $4 - 6, 42% owned in Fleaflicker Richard Rodgers is the only real tight end the Packers have left, and it's becoming clear that Aaron Rodgers does notice Richard Rodgers out there as the weeks go along.

Gary Barnidge Is A Must-Have Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $8 - 10, 46% owned in Fleaflicker Momma there goes that man again. Gary Barnidge had an insane between the legs catch that highlighted another stellar day for the not so young tight end. He turned 10 targets into eight receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown on the aforementioned highlight play. There is […]

Jamison Crowder (WSH, WR) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

FAAB Bid: $1 - 2, 6% owned in Fleaflicker DeSean Jackson returning is going to cut into Crowder's snaps, but Washington can't be too picky when it comes to having someone effective on the offensive end.

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 39% owned in Fleaflicker Brandon LaFell is eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 7, and while that's a tough draw against the Jets, you are going to want to get ahead of the curve on this one if you can. The Patriots' offense is a juggernaut, and LaFell is […]

Antonio Andrews Is A Sneaky Running Back Add

FAAB Bid: $6-8, 18% owned in Fleaflicker Andrews was hurt as the year started and Bishop Sankey had a crazy first week against Tampa Bay, which anchored a lot of people's mentality to not even look for Andrews. But he clearly jumped over Terrance West for short yardage duties, as well as proving himself to be a […]

Thomas Rawls Still A Priority Waiver Wire Add?

FAAB Bid: $6 - 10 / Lynch Owner: $16 - 20, 30% owned in Fleaflicker With Marshawn Lynch out, Thomas Rawls was "the guy" again for Seattle over the veteran Fred Jackson.

Charles Sims, A Strong PPR Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 / FAAB Bid in PPR League: $8 - 10, 54% owned in Fleaflicker Speaking of these pass catching running backs, maybe Sims is still available in your league.

Blake Bortles, An Elite Waiver Wire Pickup?

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 38% owned in Fleaflicker Don't move too quickly to the waiver wire, as Bortles still looks very skittish and easily alarmed in the pocket and is now reportedly dealing with a Grade 1 sprain in his AC Joint (which has a small effect on throwing motion, but the worst is when […]

Is Brian Hoyer A Worthy Waiver Add for Week 6

FAAB Bid: $2 - 3, 8% owned in Fleaflicker I've got to include a desperation option, or for those in competitive two quarterback leagues. Ryan Mallett needed to take a play off, and Brian Hoyer never gave the starting gig back on Thursday night. Texans' Head Coach Bill O'Brien has pivoted back to Brian Hoyer as […]

Joe Flacco Still Underowned, Strong Week 6 Matchup Awaits

FAAB Bid: $3 - 4, 58% owned in Fleaflicker Perhaps people dropped him for a hotter option since Steve Smith Sr. went down with an injury, and it is noteworthy that most of Flacco's value against the Browns came from his legs (two rushing touchdowns). That said, he gets to face the San Francisco secondary that […]

Justin Forsett Owners Must Add Javorius Allen

FAAB Bid: $3 - 5, 8% owned in Fleaflicker Don't look now, but the Ravens are running really thin on running backs. Justin Forsett does appear to have managed the dreaded high ankle sprain, but his health is a question mark going into Week 6. Lorenzo Taliaferro is usually Forsett's backup, but he himself missed Week […]
