I am a fantasy baseball and football fanatic. I've been playing for 8 years now and I like to think I learn more every year. I grew up a Yankees fan but came to appreciate the sport as a whole. Follow my Twitter for more sports updates @LopsidedTrades

Week 6 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater & Ryan Fitzpatrick

As of this writing I am one-for-two in QB picks for last week. My deeper league pick Michael Vick plays Monday night and I will hopefully remember to update this with his performance. Alex Smith didn’t kill you, as is his specialty, but I still expected more out of him. Blake Bortles on the other […]

Scramble to Add Michael Vick in Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ or 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 19% percent of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Vick’s first start with the Steelers wasn’t pretty, but I didn’t expect much. Being thrust into the starting role on a short week is incredibly tough. Especially so for Vick, who wasn’t signed until the end of August. Now he […]


Blake Bortles: Your Sneaky Week 5 Waiver Pickup at QB

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% percent of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bortles hasn't been pretty but he has now provided three straight respectable fantasy weeks. During that span he has averaged 271 yards passing and has racked up 5 touchdowns to just 1 turnover. He has also run for 20+ yards in three […]


Alex Smith (QB, KC) Is a Strong Play Against Bumbling Bears

BALLER MOVE:  Add as Injury or Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It hasn’t been pretty, but aside from a matchup with the very elite Broncos defense, Alex Smith continues delivering solid fantasy performances. This past week he didn’t even score a touchdown, but in typical Alex Smith fashion he didn’t […]


Week 5 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Alex Smith, Blake Bortles, Michael Vick

Last week I was 2 for 3 in streaming picks. Derek Carr was the one disappointment and I know just about everybody expected more from him. Still, he didn't kill you with 200 yards and 2 touchdowns to 1 interception. Both Alex Smith and Blake Bortles delivered good fantasy performances and if you rolled with […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Much like last week, I expect plenty of garbage time opportunities for Bortles in Week 4. The Colts have allowed 15, 15 and 18 total fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks so far. The Colts' first two games saw Tyrod Taylor and […]


Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper / 2QB Leagues; Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bengals are a solid defense this year, but certainly not a great one. They have allowed exactly two touchdowns, and have had one interception, in each of their first three games. So far it hasn’t mattered if it was Matt […]


Week 4 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Derek Carr, Alex Smith, Blake Bortles

Last week I was only 1 for 2 in streaming picks. I'm throwing out Johnny Manziel of course, since Mike Pettine decided to go with Josh McCown. Nick Foles did not deliver against a weak secondary. That hasn't phased me though, as I'm still happy to stream against the Steelers when given the opportunity. With that […]


Week 3 NFL Matchups Analysis: Start/Sit for Fantasy Football (Part 1)

Zach Wilkens breaks down the first half of the Week 3 matchups for the 2015 NFL football season. Each week of the NFL season, we will be breaking down each of the NFL matchups and providing you with some fantasy football advice and lineup recommendations based on matchups that we love, matchups that we hate, and some high-risk/high-reward players, as […]

Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Foles didn’t work out against the Redskins in Week 2, but the Steelers have been absolutely crushed by quarterbacks in the first two weeks of the fantasy football season. The Steelers are dead last in pass coverage, as graded by Pro Football Focus, […]


Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: On Sunday, Bortles had one of the best games of his young career in a win over the Dolphins. He played a mistake-free game, and most importantly he wasn’t sacked a single time. This was especially surprising considering Bortles had been sacked […]


Johnny Manziel (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Manziel’s Week 2 performance versus the Tennessee Titans was a strange but pleasant surprise. Manziel didn’t have any big runs, but found Travis Benjamin deep for two separate 50 yard+ touchdowns. That combined with no interceptions gave Manziel a serviceable fantasy day. […]


Week 3 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel

Let’s start off with a quick Week 2 review, where I was 2-of-3 on my QB wavier wire picks. Colin Kaepernick had a huge day like I expected, and the Steelers secondary continues to look dreadful. You can feel pretty good about playing QBs against them almost every week. Tyrod Taylor remained available in plenty […]
