James White (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Don’t forget just how effective James White can be with Tom Brady back in the mix. With Brady slinging the pigskin, White totaled a season-high 89 yards, with 63 of them coming through the air on four receptions. The world is just […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker looked good in Week 5, but the main draw is that he was used enough (six rushes, six targets) to project well moving forward into a matchup against the Chargers. San Diego’s defense just allowed both DeAndre Washington and Jalen […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly hesitated when asked to name a starting QB for the team's Week 6 tilt against the Bills, which everyone is taking as a sign that there’s a change in the works. Blaine Gabbert’s overall fantasy line ended […]

Brian Hoyer (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer fell just three yards shy of 400 on Sunday against the Colts, completing 33 of his 43 attempts while tossing the two touchdowns. Jay Cutler may very well be healthy come Chicago’s Week 6 date with the Jaguars at home, but Hoyer […]

Orleans Darkwa (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Orleans Darkwa had just seven carries for 11 yards in Week 5, but keep in mind that the Packers possess the top rushing defense by far. The Giants have a tough matchup against the Ravens' stout defense next week, but he is […]

Jay AJayi (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: On the one hand, Jay Ajayi got the vast majority of carries in the Dolphins' backfield (13 for 42 yards) and found the end zone for a score.  In fact, he had a potential second touchdown called back on a holding penalty. […]

Bobby Rainey (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the last two weeks, Bobby Rainey seems to have become Eli Manning's safety valve. Rookie Paul Perkins has shown some burst and is an intriguing prospect, but is a liability in pass protection. The veteran Rainey will likely see the most snaps […]

Jalen Richard (RB, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Latavius Murray out, Jalen Richard saw even more carries than anticipated in Week 5. Fellow rookie DeAndre Washington got the start, but Richard saw just one fewer carry and one more reception. He ended the game against San Diego with eight […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Asiata is the master of vulturing short touchdowns, and he did so again in Week 5. He actually wound up with 55 yards on 11 carries, averaging double the yards per carry of backfield mate Jerick McKinnon. He is an unreliable play […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon’s NFL debut was as unremarkable as you could imagine. Dixon carried the ball three times and ended with -1 yards. For what it's worth, he also caught one pass for six yards. Dixon is being brought along slowly, but should […]

Chris Ivory (RB, JAC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory has been discarded by enough frustrated owners that he is now available in half of fantasy leagues. He certainly hasn't shown anything to deserve a roster spot anywhere, but RB-starved teams may want to take a chance that he will […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brock Osweiler is coming off a very tough outing in Minnesota, which saw him complete only 45.2% of his passes for 184 yards. Fortunately for Osweiler and the Texans, they get to take on a team with a much less intimidating defense, the Indianapolis […]

Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- or 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Given the success that Dak Prescott has had, you would think he would stop being on streamer lists and would soon enter the conversation to at least be owned every week. With a Week 6 matchup in Green Bay, his ownership percentage […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcus Mariota has been underwhelming thus far in 2016, but the Browns have proven that playing them is the perfect cure for underperformance. Despite the numbers not meeting expectations overall, Mariota put forth one of his best career games in Week 5 […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Through four games in 2016, Alex Smith has been his normal, efficient self, completing 64.9% of his passes for an average of 268.3 yards per game to go along with five touchdowns and two interceptions. The Chiefs have a pretty favorable schedule overall, but […]

Cameron Brate (TE,TB) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Pick up in 10 team leagues. OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers seemed to have found themselves a reliable tight end. The 25 year-old Harvard graduate Cameron Brate has really stepped up and settled in nicely especially since Austin Seferian-Jenkins was released due to his off the field troubles. In Week 3, quarterback […]

Orleans Darkwa (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Pick up in 12 team leagues. OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When you think of New York Giants running backs, the name Orleans Darkwa doesn't usually come to mind. However, with Shane Vereen out for the season, and Rashad Jennings continuing to nurse a bad thumb, Darkwa has received a good amount of carries in their […]

Target Acquired: Surprise Target Grabbers from Week 4 and Possible Breakouts for Week 5

Sammy Watkins has been placed on injured reserve with a foot injury and will likely miss the remainder of the 2016 season.

Brian Hoyer (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In two starts for the Bears, Brian Hoyer has been better than what anyone could have hoped for, completing 68.23% of his passes for a combined 619 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.
