BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Congratulations to Wes Welker. One of the best slot receivers in NFL history is getting another shot in the league. According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN, the St. Louis Rams have decided to sign the veteran receiver after losing Stedman Bailey to a […]

Bryan Walters Is Worth a Look in Deep Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After seeing Bryan Walters catch 12 balls and receive 16 targets, resulting in 151 yards, it looked like he may be a sneaky waiver wire add. Then, Walters caught exactly one ball for five yards in a victory against the Buffalo Bills before […]

Nate Washington Has Developed a Connection with Brian Hoyer

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Houston Texans got a weekend off to prepare for the home stretch, which means they also gave Nate Washington a chance to gear up for a big next few weeks. While I'd tread a bit lightly here due to the likely return of […]

Stevie Johnson Continues to Climb the Depth Chart

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When it was announced that Keenan Lewis was heading the injured reserve, it was understandably a pretty brutal day for the San Diego Chargers. Well, Stevie Johnson looks poised to step up and do his best to fill the void. WhileAntonio Gates, […]

Cole Beasley Has Become a Favorite Target of Matt Cassel

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Time to jump back aboard the Cole Beasley train, it seems. Obviously, based on the percentage that he's currently owned, quite a few fantasy owners threw in the towel on him, which was probably the right move before Week 9. Well, Beasley turned […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Doug Martin OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After an early Doug Martin fumble against the New York Giants, Charles Sims appeared to be well on his way to an increased workload and a solid fantasy day. Until he fumbled as well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face a Dallas Cowboys […]

Kamar Aiken Should Receive the Bulk of the Targets Going Forward

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leauges OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kamar Aiken was here last week, and he's going to be here again this week since the bye didn't help his ownership. Aiken has had at least 60 yards in all three games that Steve Smith was unable to finish along with 1 […]

Jamison Crowder Continues to Put Up Solid Numbers

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder's been averaging 11.4 points over the last four games in PPR, putting him just outside a WR3 in PPR formats (42nd to be exact). That might not be flashy, but all of that production has just come from his fantasy floor. He's […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Is Expected to Get More Involved

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Oh boy, here we go believing in Dorial Green-Beckham again. With Kendall Wright out, DGB finally saw significant playing time and even made a difficult catch to help setup a game winning play. He also led the team in targets. Everyone knows who DGB […]

Willie Snead's Contributions Remain Unnoticed

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Willie Snead's already well known, but his ownership feels barely significant for a player who's been impacting NFL games since Week 4. Snead's been averaging enough points per game the last five weeks to be a low-end WR2 in any format. He needs […]

Davante Adams Has Regained Top Form

BALLER MOVE: Add in 8- and 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It took a lot of time for Davante Adams to come back to the field - and although his first day back on the job was entirely forgettable, his second actually had some value. Davante Adams is rejoining an offense that's desperately in […]

Brandon LaFell's Ceiling is Too High to Ignore

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I hate that I'm endorsing Brandon LaFell, but I have to. Despite career-long drop issues, the Patriots gave LaFell a chance when they signed him in 2014 and he has been surprisingly effective even though his drop issues have not subsided. Tom Brady […]

Look to Owen Daniels if You're Desperate at TE

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Denver Broncos did not trade for former San Francisco 49er Vernon Davis because they wanted to run a ton of three-tight sets or because Daniels was having such a superb season (more like subpar) and wanted the twosome to team up.  Make […]

Ahmad Bradshaw a Sneaky PPR Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, he scored this week so that's something. This is very clearly Frank Gore's job. However, I still think Bradshaw could carve out a role similar to when he was thriving last season as the pass catching back. Remember, Bradshaw was […]

Shaun Draughn the Back to Own in San Fran?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Perhaps the most available pickup of the week, Draughn was the lead back in San Francisco in Carlos Hyde's absence. Draughn grabbed 20 touches, turning them into 96 total yards in a surprising win over the Atlanta Falcons. Popular week 9 pickup, […]

Scoop Up Richard Rodgers if You Need TE Help

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 33% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The hype surrounding "the other Rodgers" in his rookie season has not come to fruition in his sophomore year. Still, for desperate owners, Rodgers plays with the best QB in the NFL and could start putting together touchdowns if the offense can […]

Don't Sleep on This Lion: Eric Ebron

BALLER MOVE: Add in all 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Ownership on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In my opinion, the second best waiver option out there for this position is Eric Ebron. Ebron is somehow the 10th highest ranked fantasy tight end and yet only sees ownership in a third of leagues. With Calvin Johnson injured, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Has Been a Consistent Fantasy Scorer

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick is the model of inconsistency when it comes to on-field play, but has somehow been decently consistent when it comes to fantasy scoring. Also prone to rushing and throwing touchdowns along with interceptions, why would he be here this week? Well, if […]

Blake Bortles Has a Developed Corps of Weapons

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Blake Bortles' development isn't going nearly as smoothly as Derek Carr's-- he's producing fantasy points nearly every week this year. In fact, right now he's about to jump past Alex Smith and become the ninth highest scoring QB so far this year. Bortles […]

Derek Carr Is in Full Breakout Mode

BALLER MOVE: Add in 8- and 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 63% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derek Carr is quickly becoming one of the NFL's budding stars as a passer, and more importantly, for our purposes, one of the league's better options in fantasy. After a bumpy start including three under 15 point games in his first five weeks, Carr […]

Austin Sefarian-Jenkins a Great Injury Stash

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Ownership on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The hardest market to find waiver pickups is always at tight end. ASJ should be returning to the lineup next week (or soon), and should have the highest upside of any tight end you can find on the waivers. The Buccaneers are going […]

The Saints Are an Enticing Matchup for Kirk Cousins

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kirk Cousins struggled vs. the Patriots in Week 9 after I selected him as my deeper league QB. However, I simply can’t avoid recommending Cousins in Week 10 vs. the Saints. The Saints' defense has reached truly pathetic levels. Over the past three […]

Marcus Mariota Is Healthy and Playing at a High Level

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is a tough match-up for Marcus Mariota, but in a week where a lot of other QBs with similar ownership percentages have even worse match-ups (Tyrod Taylor in a short week vs. Jets, Jay Cutler vs. Rams, Alex Smith vs. Broncos), I […]

Jameis Winston Needs Some Help from His Teammates

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I think Marcus Mariota has received more recognition for some big numbers and a big OT win in Week 9. However, Jameis Winston has been extremely impressive himself. He now has four straight games without a turnover, while averaging 233 pass yards during […]

Antonio Andrews Named Starter for Rest of 2015

  OWNED IN: 40% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There probably won't be many weeks this season where Andrews faces a defense nearly as bad as the Saints, but at least when he does you can be sure that he'll be startable. Andrews was recently blessed by Mike Mularkey as the starter for the rest of […]

James White/Brandon Bolden: Deep League Additions

BALLER MOVE: Add James White in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: (White) 19% Owned on Fleaflicker / (Bolden) 19% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dion Lewis is currently undergoing an MRI for what's being called a "loose ACL", whatever that means. As injury news comes out detailing how long Lewis will be out for, the race will be […]

James Starks a Must-Own Moving Forward

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks has been able to outplay top five fantasy pick Eddie Lacy this season - and although it seemed like Lacy had returned last week, Starks was quick to re-establish himself as the best option for the Packers after he was […]

Karlos Williams Continues to Reward Owners

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Karlos Williams has been one of the biggest surprises in this year's rookie RB crop. He came out of the draft with nearly no hype (in fact, most of what I've seen on him was negative) and barely saw his stock rise […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: We’ve seen Nate Washington explode with an offensive outburst the last two weeks with Cecil Shorts out due to multiple injuries. Prior to that, Shorts had two games without Washington and had some solid numbers of his own. He had […]
