BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For those of you are desperately looking to fill your flex option from the void you currently have, look no further than New England wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell. The rookie out of Georgia has become one of  Tom Brady's favorite targets of the past three weeks. In those three […]

Joe Flacco (QB, Bal) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco started off this fantasy football season very slowly. He only threw a total of six touchdowns in his first nine games played. However, the past four games he is really starting to turn it up. In those four games, Flacco has averaged 295 yards passing and […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If Cameron Brate is somehow still available in your fantasy football league, you should probably make sure you add him immediately to your playoff roster. Brate has become a steady target for quarterback Jameis Winston. In Week 13, Brate hauled in eight catches for 86 yards and one touchdown. He […]

Jermaine Gresham (TE, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Don’t look now, but Jermaine Gresham has been finding the end zone as often as the top tight ends in the NFL lately. After going scoreless in his first nine games of the season (and not even recording a catch in three of them), the wily veteran […]

Ladarius Green (TE, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green has now proven that the injured ankle that forced him to miss the first half of the season is no longer injured. With several 30-yard receptions over the past two weeks, he is easily the most explosive tight end available on most fantasy league waiver […]

Dennis Pitta (TE, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dennis Pitta had not scored a touchdown since 2013 and had only one multi-touchdown game to his credit during his entering the NFL in 2010, so it made perfect sense for him to catch two touchdown tosses from Joe Flacco against Miami’s ninth-ranked pass defense this past […]

Jared Cook (TE, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jared Cook’s fantasy value is bipolar. One game he torches a defense for 100 yards and makes you think he is Green Bay’s best tight end since Jermichael Finley. Then the next game he catches one lone pass and is back to being someone who should […]

Daniel Brown (TE, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Does the Matt Barkley-to-Daniel Brown connection bring back memories of Joe Montana-to-Jerry Rice?  Nope. But Brown has been seeing some targets in Zach Miller’s absence and has five receptions and one touchdown in his first two contests since Miller suffered his season-ending injury. Check out RotoBaller's famous fantasy […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The return of Dwayne Allen and the injuries of Andrew Luck have sapped the fantasy value out of Doyle over the last month, but now that Luck is back on the field, Doyle could score a sneaky touchdown here and there from here on out. […]

Ted Ginn Jr. (WR, CAR) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ginn made this list last week at 20% owned, so those 2% of you who picked him up hopefully did the right thing and started him, because he was once again Cam Newton’s preferred deep threat. Though the offense as a whole couldn’t muster up much against […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After an extremely favorable showing in a difficult matchup at Denver in Week 12, Alex Smith could only muster 12.50 points in standard scoring leagues with a favorable matchup at Atlanta in Week 13. Given the way that game went though, there were more points to […]

Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Redskins offense takes a hit whenever Jordan Reed exits the lineup, but they still managed to put up 23 points on the Cardinals on Sunday. Pierre Garcon led all receivers on the day in targets, receptions, and yards, catching 7-of-9 passes for 78 yards. […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream as a risky flex option in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bengals jumped out to an early lead on Sunday over the Eagles, but that didn’t stop Brandon LaFell from scoring an eight-yard touchdown in the third quarter. LaFell led the Bengals in receiving, catching 5-of-7 targets for 95 yards and a […]

Malcolm Mitchell (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After his performances of late along with Rob Gronkowski out the lineup for the remainder of the season, and expanded role in the offense was expected for Mitchell. He responded by catching 8-of-10 targets for 82 yards, while playing 85% of the team’s offensive snaps; […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team or 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember last week? When Kaep connected on 29 of his 46 throws for 296 yards, three touchdowns and a pick while also tacking on a whopping 113 rushing yards. Well that is gone. Colin Kaepernick proceeded to walk into the crummiest bakery on the planet, and […]

Matt Barkley (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Barkley really didn’t have to anything here, as Chicago’s running game and defense absolutely obliterated the 49ers in Week 13. He completed only 11-of-18 throws for 192 yards in the wintry conditions of Soldier Field, but again, he did alright for what he was asked […]

Maquise Goodwin (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14-Team Leagues until Robert Woods returns OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marquise Goodwin was second on the team in targets only to Sammy Watkins on Sunday, but Tyrod Taylor could only muster up 191 passing yards. Goodwin caught 4-of-8 targets 35 yards in the Bills loss to the Raiders. The return of Watkins to […]

Albert Wilson (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues; Ignore if Maclin returns OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Jeremy Maclin still out of the lineup, Albert Wilson saw extended action again this week. He ended up playing a huge role in this game, though not so much in the receiving game. Wilson was third on the team in targets, […]

Jermaine Kearse (WR, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as depth in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With the ground game reestablished by Thomas Rawls, the Seahawks passing game was allowed to flourish against the Panthers on Sunday night. Kearse was a big benefactor of this, tying for the team lead in targets with nine along with Jimmy Graham. Kearse caught five of […]

Brock Osweiler (QB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team 2QB and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I almost felt sick recommending Brock Osweiler as a streamer in two-quarterback leagues for Week 13, but he rewarded that recommendation handsomely with 202 yards and two touchdowns for 17.28 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues. With a road date in Indianapolis in […]

Brian Quick (WR, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash if in need of WR depth and monitor over the coming weeks OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quick saw a team leading eight targets from Jared Goff on Sunday, catching five of them for 48 yards. It was the most targets he has seen in a game since his nine in Week 7. Quick is […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Not too long ago, it would have been unfathomable to consider streaming Ryan Fitzpatrick even in two-quarterback leagues. When the Jets returned from their bye week against the Pats though, Fitzpatrick looked more like the 2015 “Fitzmagic” than the quarterback we’ve seen for most […]

Jared Goff (QB, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A week after throwing three touchdowns in New Orleans, Jared Goff predictably fell way back down to earth in Week 13 when the Rams couldn’t get much going in New England. Week 14 poses a much easier matchup for the rookie quarterback when the […]

Jared Cook (TE, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Nothing's changed from last week. Jared Cook balled out against Washington in Week 11 with six catches for 105 yards and a touchdown. It was clear how advantageous his speed, strength and reliable hands could be for Aaron Rodgers. Monday night won't be easy against Philadelphia's rock-solid […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team 2QB and 12-Team 1QB Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco somehow turned in the best quarterbacking performance of Week 13’s Sunday, by a pretty lengthy margin at that. He connected for 381 yards and four TDs in a trouncing of a Dolphins defense that had been rather respectable before the rout. This […]
