Nate Washington: Still Underowned

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no questioning that the Houston Texans’ receiving corps is led by DeAndre Hopkins by a pretty wide margin. Nate Washington is not to be overlooked though. Hopkins, Cecil Shorts, and Nate Washington make a pretty sneaky three wide set that […]

Marvin Jones: Not Just an Afterthought

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Watching the Monday Night Football tilt between the Bengals and Texans did not yield a lot of smiles for fantasy owners outside of those who had the defenses, but there were still bright spots. One such bright spot would be Marvin […]

Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Keep on the waiver wire Owned In: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: With a season-ending ACL injury to running back Dion Lewis, an opportunity emerged for Brandon Bolden. What did he do with that opportunity? One carry for negative three yards. There was much speculation heading into Week 10 against the New York Giants […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Deep stash in all leagues Owned In: 15% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Bishop Sankey started the season strong with two touchdowns and 86 all-purpose yards Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hasn't done much of anything ever since. The Tennessee Titans have done their best impersonation of a running-back-musical-chairs, not knowing which back would […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Flier in deeper leagues Owned In: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Heading into Week 9 against the Chicago Bears, the San Diego Chargers were without Keenan Allen. After the first quarter Monday night, they lost Malcom Floyd as well. It's now possible that the Chargers will be without either for the rest of the […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned In: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The Amish Rifle with one thumb is still better than Geno Smith. According to ESPN.com, head coach Todd Bowles is hopeful that Fitzpatrick will play Sunday, but is still uncertain about the status of Fitzpatrick's non-throwing thumb. "I have to see how he looks and […]

Mark Sanchez (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Sam Bradford Owned In: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: There really isn't much difference between Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford. Both are two less-than-stellar quarterbacks who still haven't figured out how to protect the ball. The only discernible difference heading into Week 11 is that one will play and the other […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, Ten.) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues as deep stash Owned in: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Antonio Andrews is a serviceable back who runs tough, falls forward and punishes tacklers. He's also a slower runner on a bad team who is losing carries to two other backfield mates already (Dexter McCluster and Bishop Sankey), and potentially more […]

Denard Robinson (RB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues as a Yeldon handcuff. Owned in: 26% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: A sprained MCL suffered in Week 2 derailed Denard Robinson's potential time share with rookie T.J. Yeldon. He missed three games with the injury, then returned Week 6 to log a season-high 10 touches against Houston in the one game Yeldon […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues for depth Owned in: 58% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: There was a time during the off-season when some pundits had Charles Sims as the lead back in Tampa Bay. Many who recognized Doug Martin's skill set knew otherwise. Still, Sims has produced when called upon, and is the clear handcuff should […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB/flex depth OWNED IN: 71% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Arizona Cardinals' shifty third-year back is coming off of his finest game of the season in Sunday night's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Ellington piled up 88 yards from scrimmage on just eight touches (five carries, three receptions), including a game-sealing 48-yard touchdown […]

Joique Bell (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Leave on the waiver wire Owned In: 52% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Bell rushed the ball a season-high 14 times last Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but for only 17 yards. It's surprising how much Bell is owned considering he has done next to nothing all season. It's been a merry-go-round of […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Add and stash Owned In: 63% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: It's difficult to not want a starting running back from any team in your lineup, especially if he's provided fantasy value in the past. After a season-ending injury to starter Arian Foster, it appeared that Alfred Blue would be the top waiver pickup. But Blue has yet […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Ryan Mathews Owned In: 60% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Darren Sproles is a role-player. He always has been throughout his career. Unfortunately, that title doesn't necessarily equate to value in fantasy leagues. However, with the status of running back Ryan Mathews in question Sproles' value could see a boost. Sproles has been […]

Make Sure Tony Romo Isn't Available On Your Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add as QB1 in All Leagues OWNED IN: 78% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He's back! Well, at least according to reports, he will be back this Sunday. While Romo (collarbone) hasn't officially been activated off of the injured reserve/designated to return list, the Dallas Cowboys released ineffective backup Brandon Weeden Tuesday afternoon, a move that certainly […]

Doug Baldwin Flying High for Seahawks

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In a crazy Sunday night game, Doug Baldwin looked really good for the Seattle Seahawks. Baldwin caught seven of his 10 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown. The 10 targets were a team high, and he was responsible for over half […]

Be Patient with James White

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We all knew James White wouldn't be as good as Dion Lewis, but the pedestrian outing on Sunday afternoon had to be cause for concern for his fantasy owners. Let's take a closer look at why James White wasn't a factor […]

Zach Ertz (TE, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE2 with TE1 upside OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All of the trends are pointing upward when it comes to Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz. Well, almost all of the trends. He's caught at least five passes in three straight games, including a season-high seven for 68 yards this past Sunday. […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as QB2 OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kirk Cousins put on an absolute show in the Washington Redskins' rout of the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday. He finished with 324 yards and four touchdowns on 20-of-25 passing, giving him a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating. We're not here to completely derail the Cousins […]

Don't Ya Miss Out on Jamize Olawale

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 0% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You can't use him this week because he is on bye, but he has clearly replaced Andre Williams in the Giants running back rotation. As a Giants fan I have no clue why the team isn't leaning on Rashad Jennings on […]

The Other Run DMC: Dexter McCluster

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While I continue to suggest picking up Tennessee's starting running back, Antonio Andrews, I do believe that Dexter McCluster can be used in a pinch, especially during the last week of byes. Again, Tennessee has Jacksonville (twice) and Oakland over the […]

What the Hell, Take a Shot on Joique Bell

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It was certainly not a pretty week for Bell, who totaled only 35 yards on the day, but it is the 16 total touches that has me intrigued. Granted, the Lions were up, surprisingly, for a majority of this game and […]

Hang on to Antonio Andrews

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I thumped my chest last week and continued to pump the tires of Antonio Andrews headed into week 10's matchup against the undefeated Carolina Panthers. Andrews disappointed with only 8 yards on 11 carries, but I'm not going to back down from my […]

This is the Draughn You're Looking For

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 7% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Star Wars reference aside, Shaun Draughn is looking like the back to own in San Francisco. I mentioned Draughn last week as he entered his week 10 bye coming off a 20 touch, 96 yard performance in his first appearance as a […]

Garrett Celek a Hail Mary Play in Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The younger brother of twice-mentioned Brent Celek had been quieter than a kid with soap in his mouth all season --- until the man, the myth, the legend, Blaine Gabbert took over as San Francisco’s signal caller. Celek produced immediately when Gabbert […]

Crockett Gillmore Trending Up in Baltimore

BALLER  MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The targets are up for grabs in Baltimore! With Steve Smith sidelined for the season, and with the Ravens lacking depth and talent at wide receiver (to put it mildly), the door is open for Gillmore to become Joe Flacco’s second-favorite pass […]

Need Help at TE? Looks like Ertz, Don't It?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ertz has had a harder time finding the end zone this season than Peyton Manning had finding Broncos receivers this past Sunday.  The poor guy has not scored and is averaging a career-low 10.6 yards per catch.  You would think between this […]

Chris Givens Fitting Nicely into New Role

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The post-Steve Smith era has begun in Baltimore, with Kamar Aiken doing his best impersonation for the rest of 2015. Aiken dominated the targets (14), but it's who came in second who has our interest. Chris Givens filled into the number two role […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 11: Amendola, Williams, Crowder and More

Ah, fantasy football. Don't you just love it? Sometimes you can do all the research in the world, study matchups for hours, look at who's hot or cold and who's injured, when really the player you were looking for was sitting on the waiver wire, just waiting to be claimed. Case in point, let's look […]
