BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues; Start in Deep Leagues as Bye or Injury Replacement 51% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Randle broke out last season as a sophomore, pulling in 41 passes for 611 yards and six touchdowns. Now a third-year veteran, he is currently the leader in targets and receptions among Giants wideouts, and […]

Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately for Week 5 Owned in 52% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Khiry Robinson has now been the Saints' leading rusher two games in a row, having fought his way for 87 yards on eight carries in last Sunday's loss in Dallas. His 5.4 yards per carry is the fifth best in all of football […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues / Continue Monitoring in All Leagues Owned in 9% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who are desperate for wide receiver help on your fantasy football teams, there may be a WR on the cusp of being a target for you to pickup off waivers. His name is Davante Adams and […]

Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (if still available) Owned in 60% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: If you could name one high-potential fantasy football tight end who has frustrated you with injuries the past couple years, I imagine Jordan Reed would be on the top of the list. In the past two seasons he's had the following injuries: […]

Torrey Smith (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (if still available) Owned in 75% of Fleaflicker leagues   ANALYSIS: Even though Torrey Smith has only hauled in eight passes on 22 targets over his first four games, it is way too early to give up on a guy who crossed the goal line 15 times in his first two seasons […]

Charles Clay (TE, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues as a Backup Owned in 45% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Charles Clay was widely considered one of the preseason fantasy football sleepers among tight ends, but has yet to produce at any kind of level through the first four weeks of the season. Ryan Tannehill has targeted his tight end just 22 […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 15% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone already knows about the Adrian Peterson situation, and it's not looking good for his chances of returning anytime soon (or at all) to the Minnesota Vikings. Running back Matt Asiata has been filling in as the lead running back, and doing a decent job, although his […]

Bishop Sankey (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 61% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Although Bishop Sankey is widely owned in many fantasy football leagues, he is still not owned in nearly enough. Currently at 61%, that number should be closer to 100%. The talented rookie running back has been splitting time with Shonn Greene and Dexter McCluster thus far, but he […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Anyone who picked up Eli vs. the Redskins in Week 4 knows they might have gotten a career fantasy performance. His 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD were a thing to behold.  While we don’t expect him to […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2 QB Leagues / Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 23% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Though I find Bortles a bit over-hyped, he has a decent matchup this week and has legitimate value vs. the secondary that blew a big second half lead to Mike Glennon. Bortles looked good in week […]

Mike Glennon (QB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2 QB Leagues / Stream in 14+ Team Leagues Owned in 4% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints defense is one of the worst in the NFL, and they proved that again vs. the Dallas Cowboys in week four. They handed Romo and the ‘Boys 24 first downs and 445 total yards, 255 […]

Denard Robinson (RB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues 4% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: To know how much I dislike Toby Gerhart all you have to do is read this article I wrote a few weeks ago. Since then, Gerhart has done nothing to reassure me.  There was a chance that with Bortles as the QB we might see some improved numbers from Gerhart....but nope, […]

Louis Murphy (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (if you have dead weight) Owned in 0% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Okay, this one is a bit of a desperation play, but hear me out. Mike Evans injured a groin on Sunday, and should be out at least two or three weeks, leaving the door open for Murphy. He led the team with […]

Branden Oliver (RB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues  4% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: By now you’re probably sick of hearing about all the injures to the Chargers backfield. Ryan Mathews is dealing with an ankle injury and Danny Woodhead is unfortunately out for the year. That left us all with Donald Brown, whom many experts rushed to tell you to pick up. Brown has been solid […]

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Very Deep Standard Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Oh look at that, Cecil Shorts aggravated an injury. This makes Robinson the number one wide receiver in Jacksonville, and while that’s like saying he’s the smartest kid in summer school, he’s still a top wide receiver and will get passing […]

Darrin Reaves (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues 4% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You know you’re really looking deep when we recommend an undrafted rookie, but Reaves might be the best running back pickup of week 5 as he now finds himself with an opportunity to be the lead back for the Panthers. He rushed 12 times for only 26 yards and […]

Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 48% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The Browns have stated that Brian Hoyer will remain their starting quarterback following their Week 4 bye, and for good reason. While they were only 1-2 in his first three starts, it certainly has nothing to do with Hoyer. He’s […]

Ka’deem Carey (RB, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep 14+ Team Leagues 9% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mr. Carey introduced himself to the world on Sunday against the packers by rushing 14 times for 72 yards. In fact, as surprisingly good as the Packers secondary has been, their run defense has been just as bad.  The Packers allowed over 200 rushing yards to the […]

James Jones (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add / Stash in Deeper Leagues (12+ Teams) Owned in 62% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Returning home to the Bay Area for his first season with the Oakland Raiders football club, James Jones has been treated to a nice mix of quarterback controversy and bad offensive play (partially on his part as well). All that being […]

Eric Ebron (TE, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All 14+ Team Leagues Owned in 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eric Ebron was not drafted as the 10th overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft to sit on the sidelines for too long, and the Detroit Lions have been putting him right to work in the early parts of the season. Brandon Pettigrew […]

Justin Forsett (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All 10+ Team Leagues Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There have been some unnamed fantasy football writers who've been quick and persistent to write off the 28 year old former Seahawks great Justin Forsett, but the fact remains that this well traveled and under utilized NFL veteran has finally found his place in […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues 33% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Make no mistake, Rashad Jennings is still the workhorse for this Giants offense. The main reason that Andre Williams got as many carries as he did Thursday night was that the game was an absolute blowout for the Giants, and because the Giants are doing their best to […]

Travaris Cadet (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues 1% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pierre Thomas has more or less disappeared since the first game of the season. It’s entirely possible he could still be the new “Darren Sproles” but so far this season he doesn’t look like it. While Travaris Cadet did nothing in the running game, he caught all six of […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team and All 2 Quarterback Leagues Owned in 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In case you missed the Teddy Football show on Sunday, the Vikings' highly touted rookie quarterback was on full display racking up 317 passing yards in addition to 29 rushing yards and a touchdown. That is all before he unfortunately had to […]

Nick Novak (K, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All 10+ Team Leagues Owned in 74% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In case you you haven't paid attention, Nick Novak has quietly been putting up a stud season at the place kicker position for the surging San Diego Chargers. There are a few factors that you want in your fantasy football kicker if […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues as Backup / All Keeper Leagues Owned in 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Teddy Bridgewater will make his first career start Sunday at home against the Falcons. The rookie made his debut last week at New Orleans, completing 12 of his 20 passes for 150 yards. He also carried the ball […]

San Diego Chargers (DEF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (Especially For Bye Week) Owned in 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: When looking at potential defenses to stream every week, we always like to start in reverse by analyzing who are the worst offenses in the NFL, to see who they're playing. Lucky for us in this Week 4 bye week crunch, the […]

Detroit Lions (DEF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (Especially For Bye Weeks) Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into the Week 4 bye week crunch, many of us are grappling with what players to add/drop and plug into our lineups so that we don't completely sacrifice a win due to how the NFL schedules their season. For some, these […]

Antone Smith (RB, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The below analysis first appeared in RotoBaller's article Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds. BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues as Bench Depth Owned in 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: At some point Steven Jackson has to stop being the big fierce back we have all come to know and love right? Well, maybe not. But when/if he does, […]

Lorenzo Taliaferro (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Remember when I was one of those people? You don’t? You’re very kind. But unless […]
