Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tim Hightower and fellow New Orleans RB Mark Ingram both feasted on the Rams defense in Week 12, with Hightower totaling 105 total yards (51 rushing, 54 receiving) on 17 touches. He was the recipient of a little trickeration, as the Saints ran a flea-flicker […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash as a playoff running back OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Charles Sims has been practicing and is eligible to return for the Bucs first game against the Saints in Week 14. It’ll be tough for fantasy owners to trust him out of the gate in the first week of the fantasy playoffs, but those with a spot […]

James Starks (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks is pretty much what Ty Montgomery provided, as he's much more wide receiver than running back. He caught five-of-six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay's Week 11 loss to Washington, while only tallying 25 rushing yards on […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yes, it’s still gross. But yes, he’s still turning in those TDs. Matt Asiata has now scored in three straight weeks, despite averaging 20, yes 20, rushing yards per game. He did catch three balls for 14 yards, as his PPR floor is certainly higher. He’ll […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon played on 31 of the Ravens 68 offensive snaps in their Week 12 battle against the Bengals, which was the best mark out of all RBs. Terrance West only played on 23. Dixon rushed the ball 13 times for an uninspiring […]

Paul Perkins (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a Rashad Jennings handcuff OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is strictly a cuff at this point. With bye weeks largely a thing of the past now, it is truly cuffin’ season though. Paul Perkin's got plenty of talent and may yield profits in 2018, with Jennings only signed through 2017. Check […]

Shaun Draughn (RB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It’s no secret that Draughn is just a PPR guy, but that’s just fine when you consider how often the 49ers are playing from behind and need to pass. Draughn caught all six of his targets for 49 yards, even as Carlos Hyde had himself […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Burkhead actually beat out Jeremy Hill with 38 snaps to Hill’s 37, though there was that little bit where Hill appeared hurt after being awkwardly bent on a tackle. Hill ended up being okay of course, though his 21 rushing yards on 12 carries […]

Jonathan Williams (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a handcuff for LeSean McCoy OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Mike Gillislee (hamstring) ailing, Jonathan Williams becomes the next RB you'd want behind LeSean McCoy. Reggie Bush did not record a touch in Week 11, and would likely remain in his change-of-pace role rather than take on anything meaningful. Check […]

Akeem Hunt (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as a handcuff for Lamar Miller OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Akeem Hunt only rushed it twice for 19 yards against the Chargers in Week 13, as he was given the keys to a drive in the first half before never seeing the field again. His seven snaps were third to Jonathan Grimes’ 12 and […]

Jonathan Grimes (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a Lamar Miller handcuff OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jonathan Grimes turned in 12 snaps to Akeem Hunt’s seven when it comes to the guys behind Lamar Miller. Grimes logged 14 yards in Houston’s Week 11 loss to San Diego, but he may be worth a deep-league stash with Lamar […]

Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues as a DeMarco Murray handcuff OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derrick Henry was only on the field for 14 snaps, but outproduced his veteran counterpart. He ran for 60 yards and a TD against Chicago with just eight carries. He showed burst on his runs, looking better than DeMarco […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon continues to slowly creep into the starting RB job for Baltimore. According to @NathanJahnke of ProFootballFocus, Dixon's snap share has increased each of the past five weeks up to 44.9% in Week 12. He is seeing the field more than […]

Akeem Hunt (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as a handcuff for Lamar Miller OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lamar Miller seemed to tweak his ankle on the very last series of the game against San Diego. If this causes him to miss time next week, Akeem Hunt becomes an intriguing add. He appeared out of nowhere two in Week 10 to run for […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bucs had no healthy running backs just a couple of weeks ago, but now they may have their top two runners back again. Doug Martin will retain the lead role, but Sims is on track to return in Week 14 and claim his share of […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Three straight weeks Matt Asiata has driven fantasy owners crazy by scoring on short touchdown runs. He's only accumulated 60 rushing yards in those three games, making him the very definition of a TD-dependent RB. If you're in a non-PPR league and need depth, he at […]

Ameer Abdullah (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash if need a backup RB for playoffs OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Updating last week's recommendation, Ameer Abdullah got good news from the foot specialist and could be on track to return soon. It will be a couple of weeks before he is in game shape and ready to contribute, so don't count on him […]

Jonathan Williams (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a handcuff for LeSean McCoy OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mike Gillislee's hamstring injury made Jonathan Williams the backup this week. He only carried the ball three times for 12 yards, but any RB in Buffalo has value if he sees the field. If Gillislee returns next week, Williams is simply […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Burkhead ran for 29 yards in the backup role, yet led the Bengals in rushing for Week 12. The Bengals offense struggled all day against a tough Ravens defense, so better days could be ahead. Burkhead also caught two passes for 19 yards, but […]
