BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m actually kicking myself for not going with Baldwin purely as a speculative add this week.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues Owned in 69% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Coby Fleener was drafted in 2012 to continue to be Andrew Luck's safety blanket, but since coming into the league, whenever healthy, Dwayne Allen has been the more reliable target for the young superstar quarterback.
