The Chargers Keep Feeding Stevie Johnson the Ball

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Operating as the number one WR for the Chargers, Stevie Johnson finally managed to have a good game for standard leagues. He has been on a PPR tear lately, with at least seven catches in each of his last three games. Johnson's not going […]

James White In Line for More Looks in New England

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a […]

Theo Riddick Flexes His PPR Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Riddick sees very little work between the tackles, but his abilities as a pass-catcher are undeniable. If you're in a standard league, Riddick has less appeal due to his low touchdown total, but in any PPR format he is now a […]

Brock Osweiler Has Earned the Starting Job

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brock Osweiler's win over the Patriots will likely keep him entrenched as the starter for the rest of the year. Sitting at the helm of an offense featuring as many weapons as the Broncos have, he should be able to put up points every […]

Jay Cutler Has an Easy Schedule Ahead

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jay Cutler is coming off a weak game against the Packers on the road, but he has a favorable upcoming schedule, with home games against the 49ers and Redskins and a road trip to Tampa Bay. With Alshon Jeffery and Matt Forte back in […]

Somehow Matt Hasselbeck Keeps Producing

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Hasselbeck is a 40-year-old quarterback who hadn’t been fantasy relevant since 2011. Yet, here he is with four wins and four double-digit fantasy games in four starts. It’s strange, but it’s working. The Steelers' pass defense looked terrible early in the season, and […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Should Carve Up the Giants

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick is coming off of his best game of the season. He threw for four touchdowns and committed no turnovers against the Dolphins. On paper, his Week 13 matchup in a quasi-home game is even better. The Giants allow the most passing […]

Alex Smith Has Been a Model of Consistency

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith continues to deliver solid fantasy performances-- Week 12 was his eighth straight week without a turnover. Now he gets a much much easier matchup with the Raiders, who give up the fourth most points to QBs. That continued this past week, as Marcus […]

Shaun Draughn Continues Being the Niner to Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Continuing to somehow show PPR Value, over the last 3 weeks Draughn has put up the 11th highest average per game amongst RBs in PPR. It seems consistent at this point that Draughn will put up 50 yards on the ground, […]

Finally Time to Fear Ameer?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Finally! The Lions coaches have come to the decision that they don't want to get fired, so Ameer Abdullah has been reinstated as the lead back. Although Riddick is obviously the 2 minute drill guy, Abdullah will be seeing the majority of the on […]

David Johnson Next Up for Cardinals

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Both Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington suffered injuries on Sunday, making David Johnson the next man up. He's already owned in many leagues thanks to a lot of time he spent vulturing from the two backs ahead of him, but he's still present […]

Who? What? Ware?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware is a big "who?" kind of name. One of the best non-NFL employed talent evaluators Matt Waldman wrote in depth about Ware, and stated when Ware entered the draft that he could be a great NFL-caliber back. Well, Ware showed his […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week Twelve Lightning Round

Later today, and over the next couple of days, we will be publishing more in depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. But in efforts of bringing you timely information, as fast as possible, consider this the fantasy football Week 12 waiver wire lightning round. Waiver pickups are in order of priority, broken out by […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Stash away Owned In: 77% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Andre Ellington has really only had three productive fantasy weeks this season. Chris Johnson has emerged as the starting back and gets the lion's share of carries while rookie David Johnson has been targeted more than Ellington in the air lately. After his game-winning touchdown […]

Chris Givens (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Since being acquired from the Rams, Chris Givens has seen a steady rise in targets, but he hasn't turned the targets into much production yet. With 14 targets in the last two weeks, he only has six catches for 62 yards and a TD. His prospects of being Joe Flacco's new deep threat made him an interesting […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) -Waiver Wire Pickups

After months of disappointing fantasy performance, Darren Sproles bounced back and was one of the few positives for the Eagles in their blowout loss to the Buccaneers. With three catches for 38 yards and a TD, Sproles had his first productive fantasy game since Week 3. He remains most valuable in PPR leagues, but with Ryan Mathews now out for […]

Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

While not the most exciting pickup, Coby Fleener offers some utility to fantasy players looking for value at a thin TE position. Fleener only has 36 catches for 325 yards and two TDs this season, disappointing owners who hoped he would replicate or improve last year's production. But he should continue to see enough targets to […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add and stash Owned In: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Luckily for his owners and those looking to swoop in and grab Antonio Andrews off the wire, there is no other real threat out of the backfield for the Tennessee Titans. Dexter McCluster will miss 2-3 weeks because of a sprained MCL and […]

Jonathan Grimes (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Alfred Blue, stash in deep leagues Owned In: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The Houston Texans have not suddenly forgotten about Arian Foster, but the dynamic efforts of Alfred Blue and Jonathan Grimes in the backfield have certainly sufficed. Against the New York Jets last week, both caught all three of […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in dynasty leagues Owned in: 34% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: While fading rookie receivers is not the strong play it used to be in fantasy drafts, the case of Nelson Agholor reminds us that it's still hazardous. As a first-rounder stepping into a starting role in a dynamic offense, the USC product was supposed to […]

Richard Rodgers (TE, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues Owned in: 46% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Richard Rodgers could have to carry the load at tight end for Green Bay for another week if Andrew Quarless does not make his expected return off temporary IR. Head coach Mike McCarthy had nothing new to report on Quarless, who has been out since Week 3 […]

Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues as TE2. Owned in: 54% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Fantasy owners of Charles Clay likely expected more from the third-highest-paid TE in the league. But considering his career averages and the fact he plays for Rex Ryan's plodding, run-first offense, that may have been a bit unrealistic. Clay, a former fullback, […]

Teddy Bridgewater a Worthy Addition as QB2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% owned in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: If you're relying on Teddy Bridgewater as a starter at this point in the season, you're probably in the midst of a tough season. He's just not consistent or productive enough to be a reliable starter at this point in his […]

Why Ted Ginn Is No More Than a Stash WR

BALLER MOVE: Stash in deep 12-14 team leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ted Ginn was limited in practice on Monday but practiced in full on Tuesday according to CBS Sports. That's good news for fantasy owners of Ginn and those looking to pick him up off the wire. It should definitely be surprising that […]

Why We'll See Good Kirk Cousins in Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Pick up and start Week 12 OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a rough season for quarterbacks. But if injuries and poor play have done anything beside make fantasy owners scratch their heads in annoyance, it has opened opportunities elsewhere to unlikely producers. Enter Kirk Cousins. Unclear whether Robert Griffin III would play […]

Why You Should Let Isaiah Crowell Sit in FA

BALLER MOVE: Leave on the waiver wire OWNED IN: 65% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns have averaged 75.6 rushing yards per game, the second fewest in the NFL. Crowell has a measly 328 rushing yards on 107 attempts, and only one rushing touchdown to go with it. After season-highs of 72 and 63 rushing […]

Ahmad Bradshaw Worth a PPR Flier

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Let's have some fun with numbers, shall we? Running back Ahmad Bradshaw has played in 15 games over the last two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. In those 15 games, he has nine receiving touchdowns (11 overall). Compare that with his […]

Josh Huff Flying High as a Deep League Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The situation in Philadelphia is getting ugly. That game against Tampa Bay was a total embarrassment. For whatever reason, Mark Sanchez has not been able to recreate his chemistry with Jordan Matthews and as a result Josh Huff is getting some extra looks. […]

Cecil Shorts Not Short on Tricks in Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts III was a jack of all trades on Sunday against the Jets. He threw for a touchdown, caught two passes, and ran the ball four times. I'm not saying Shorts is a threat to get one of each type of […]

James White Got Green Light on Monday Night

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The slew of injuries continue for the New England Patriots. Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson went down for the Pats on Monday and their receiving corps is running very thin. The Patriots are the embodiment of the "next man up" mentality though, […]
