Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues Owned in 7% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: As a Giants fan, it pains me to have recommend a Cowboys running back.

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues as Bye Week / Injury Replacement ANALYSIS: With a weak receiving corps in St. Louis, Jared Cook is a guy who will get a lot of looks from rookie quarterback Austin Davis. If you are a Jimmy Graham owner looking for a backup, Cook could be the answer this […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as Bye or Injury Replacement IF Active Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Stewart didn't practice Wednesday, but he has not yet been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Bengals.

Dwayne Allen (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues Owned in 62% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Dwayne Allen is the better Tight End in Indianapolis.

Brian Quick (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Quarterback Austin Davis has made it clear that Quick is his number one target among wide receivers, targeting him 14 more times than any other wideout on the team through the first four games.

James Jones (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep, Three Wide Receiver Leagues Owned in 57% of Fleaflicker leages ANALYSIS: James Jones lost a ton of fantasy appeal when he made the transition from Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football to Derek Carr.

Baltimore Ravens (DEF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There isn't a much better steaming defense to be bullish on heading into Week 6 of fantasy football action.

Indianapolis Colts (DEF, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Not traditionally known for their stout defense, the playoff bound Colts are flying under the fantasy football radar for their defense's usefulness.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I told you about Louis Murphy last week on my list of wide receiver sleepers, and I’m going to do it again.

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jones was a legitimate red zone threat for the Bengals in 2013, finding pay dirt 10 times. Although to be fair, four of those TDs came in one game. I still expect Jones to slide into that same type of offensive role when he […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the last time I’m going to say this. ADD. BRIAN. QUICK. Austin Davis has proven himself to be a legitimate QB2, and Brian Quick is the main beneficiary.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: After a dramatic comeback win at Tennessee that saw three touchdowns and 292 yards from the hands of Hoyer, the Browns host a middle-of-the-road Pittsburgh defense that gives up 229 yards per game on average.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues (Standard and PPR) Owned in 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: My top tight end recommendation this week is Jordan Reed who’s seen just a handful of snaps since Week 1 this year.

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues  Owned in 64% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS:  Since the season has begun the Baltimore Ravens knew they would not have Ray Rice due to suspension for a few games.  Little did they know that they wouldn't have him all season long...and end up cutting him.  Most fantasy football experts expected the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add and Start in Deep Leagues 6% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The San Diego Charger running game has been woeful and with a week five matchup against the Jets’ league best NFL rushing defense it didn’t appear as if the Chargers run game was going to improve.
