Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Stash for BYE Weeks Owned in 38% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Following his coach's suggestion that he might be benched, Tannehill has silenced any critics over the last two weeks of the fantasy football season. Over that time, he has racked up ~19 points and ~22 points in back to […]


Jace Amaro (TE, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues Owned in 9% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It was Amaro that led all tight ends in targets and receptions in Week 6 (as in all tight ends in all of fantasy football). He even went in for a score, despite just 68 yards on 10 receptions. He also had another […]


Brandon LaFell (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: LaFell is another guy that I mostly dismissed after his first strong game of the fantasy football season. That was justified when he followed it up with just 20 yards against the Bengals when Tom Brady was great, but in Week 6 they were both at their best […]


Brian Hoyer (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2 QB Leagues / Stream in Deeper Leagues Owned in 22% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I realize that Hoyer is about the least exciting quarterback option you can stream, but he's been very safe and reliable, if nothing else. He hasn't gone below 12 fantasy points on the season yet for any […]


Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 30% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: There was no official statement to the public before Sunday's game (not appreciated, Vikings), but it appears that Jerick McKinnon is now the lead running back in Minnesota. He didn't have a particularly big day against the Lions, but they are a fantastic defense. […]


Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / Streamer for Week 7 Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Okay, so he's already owned in 50% of leagues. But that still doesn't mean he should be sitting on the waiver wire in 50% of leagues. Two great signs point to Smith being your quarterback stream of the week. First, I […]

Markus Wheaton (WR, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Immediately Owned in 64% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Markus Wheaton was an afterthought in most 2014 fantasy football drafts, going outside of the top 40 at the position, and in some cases not getting drafted at all. He did almost nothing in his rookie season but caught the attention of many following […]


Jake Locker (QB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All 2QB Leagues Owned in 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Locker is a guy I have liked since he came out of college as the Titans 1st round pick in 2011. His first couple of years he didn't really do anything. He was the only one of the four first round […]

Three Fantasy Football Questions I Want Answered in Week One
