Cecil Shorts (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts had his most productive day as a Buccaneer on Sunday, with five catches on seven targets for 62 yards. Russell Shepard returned this game after missing two weeks with a hip injury, but he was out-targeted and out-snapped by Shorts. […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon LaFell is now Cincinnati’s “No. 1 receiver,” at least on the depth chart. He only caught four balls on nine targets for a measly 32 yards in Week 11, highlighted by a terrible route where he allowed the DB to intercept […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For those of you in deeper PPR leagues who need some Week 12 relief, Kendall Wright and the Titans will face a hurting Bears squad that will likely be extremely deflated. Wright isn’t dominating targets or touches by any means, but is […]

Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It’s not encouraging to see Eddie Royal only garner three targets in a game where the Bears were missing Alshon Jeffery, Kevin White and, by the time the clock hit zero, Zach Miller. However, those in 14- and 16-team PPR leagues should […]

Eli Rogers (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Eli Rogers only caught four balls for 20 yards on six targets in a pushover Week 11 win against the Browns. Awful weather conditions combined with favorable matchups everywhere meant that Pittsburgh didn’t have to take chances, so Rogers really wasn’t utilized. […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ted Ginn Jr. gave us all a friendly reminder that he still has game-breaking speed in the tank and shouldn’t be forgotten. While this was his best game of the season, it actually broke a streak of four games in which he […]

Marquess Wilson (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Week 11 marked Marquess Wilson’s first appearance in 2016, and even though he only caught one of his four targets, it was at least a nice, 35-yard grab. No one is a proven commodity in that Chicago receiving corps right now, so […]

Cobi Hamilton (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cobi Hamilton didn’t do anything special in Week 11, catching two balls for 11 yards, but he did see five targets and was on the field quite a bit with Markus Wheaton on the IR, Darrius Heyward-Bey injured and Sammie Coates benched. […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith returned from his concussion in Week 10 in what should have been a favorable matchup at Carolina, but the results simply weren’t there. He finished a very underwhelming 25-of-38 for 178 yards with an interception and no touchdowns. Things get […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brock Osweiler is coming off a game in Jacksonville in which he put up a very respectable point total for two-quarterback leagues, but that was largely boosted by his two touchdown passes, as he only threw for 99 yards. The much-maligned Raiders defense has […]

Cody Kessler (QB, CLE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: During a terrible showing on Thursday Night Football in Week 10, Cody Kessler found himself riding the pine mid-game in favor of Josh McCown. Not to worry, Kessler fans— Browns Head Coach Hue Jackson has already come out and said Kessler is the quarterback […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the last game the Bengals played before their bye week, Tyler Boyd was third on the team in targets behind A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert with seven— five more than Brandon LaFell. Then, in Week 10, he saw just five targets, […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pierre Garcon has been sneakily consistent over the past several weeks, scoring double-digit points in four out of the last five games in PPR formats. This week Garcon kept things, going leading the team in targets, receptions and yards. He secured 6-of-10 […]

Tyreek Hill (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyreek Hill had one of his best games of the season on Sunday, even though he was unable to find the end zone. Hill caught a career high 10 passes for 89 yards on 13 targets in the Chiefs’ win over Carolina. […]

Marqise Lee (WR, JAC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee has been a consistent member of the Jaguars’ passing attack all season long, and last week was no different. He caught four of his six targets for 50 yards and ran the ball once for six more the in Jags’ […]

Adam Thielen (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Thielen has been a consistent option in the Vikings’ passing game, averaging five targets per game. This week against the Redskins, he caught three of his four targets for 21 yards, including a short red zone reception for his second touchdown […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Travis Benjamin out on Sunday, Dontrelle Inman drew nine targets (tied for second on the team), catching five of them for 43 yards. He had several of those catches later on in the game to keep drives alive. A big part […]

Taylor Gabriel (WR, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Taylor Gabriel isn’t going to overwhelm you with the amount of touches he gets, but over the past three weeks the ones he has gotten he’s made count. This week, Gabriel caught one of his five targets for 76 yards and a […]

Oakland Raiders (DEF, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If Oakland’s strong offensive cane steamroll Houston’s defense to the point where Brock Osweiler is forced to take chances and make mistakes, things could get messy pretty early. If Khalil Mack and company can get in Brock’s face and push the pace, […]

Miami Dolphins (DEF, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dolphins have racked up 10 sacks over their last three games, and have also notched six picks in their last two. Whether they’re facing Case Keenum or Jared Goff, they’ll be a good play with the pressure they’re producing. Check out […]

Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Steelers have now generated five sacks and four turnovers over their last three games, after tallying just eight sacks and six turnovers through their first six games. They’re facing the Browns in Week 11, so they become an obvious target for […]

Sam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford completed 31-of-40 passes for the second straight week, as he unraveled a 307-yard effort with two touchdowns and an interception against a solid Washington secondary in Minnesota’s fourth straight loss on Sunday. It’s clear that new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur is really […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Colin Kaepernick faced a poor matchup with Arizona in Week 10 with a cheery demeanor, and ended up turning in a QB1 performance that wasn’t far off from Cam Newton’s game against Kansas City. Kaep only totaled 210 yards through the air with one […]

J.J. Nelson (WR, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: J.J. Nelson followed up his eight-catch, 79-yard and two-touchdown day against the Panthers in Week 8 with an absolutely horrid Week 10 showing against the lowly 49ers defense. He only caught two of his six targets for 29 yards, and also lost […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The good news is that Kendall Wright has scored a touchdown in three of his past five games, but obviously owners are a bit jaded considering he only caught two balls for eight yards alongside the touchdown. He hasn’t topped five targets […]

Robert Woods (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Robert Woods caught 10-of-13 targets for 162 yards against a tough Seattle defense on the road in Week 9 before Buffalo hit their bye, and he is clearly running as the No. 1 with Sammy Watkins still on the shelf. Week 11 […]

Eli Rogers (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We all know Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell are the clear one-two punch for Pittsburgh’s offense, but after that things get very murky. Eli Rogers looks to be next right now, as Ladarius Green is still limited, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Markus Wheaton […]
