BALLER MOVE: Add / Stash in Deeper Leagues Owned in 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week, Stevie Johnson had a breakout game for the 49ers as he caught all 9 of his targets from Colin Kaepernick for 103 total yards.

Roy Helu (RB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues Owned in 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Roy Helu remains one of the better running back handcuffs to have in fantasy football. In fact, he's become more than just a handcuff to Alfred Morris. Helu is the passing down back for the Redskins, in addition to stealing some carries from Morris. On Sunday, […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add / Stash in All Leagues Owned in 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that All-Day is all done with playing NFL football for the foreseeable future, it's time for the Minnesota Vikings to go to plan B and find a silver lining in this now dark, looming cloud. What's plan B you ask? Well, it surely […]

Cody Parkey (K, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 28% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Don't be sleeping on the slight edge that a high-end kicker can give you week to week, because sometimes it's a matter of a few points that separate you from a win. We like to think that the Eagles' rookie kicker, Cody Parkey, is exactly […]

Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 team leagues or deeper Owned in 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green is a promising young tight end for the Chargers. Unfortunately for him, so far this year it seems like Antonio Gates isn't willing to admit that he's not an elite TE anymore. Gates has 18 targets to Green's 8. […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 teams or deeper 56% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Apparently beginning the season with a hamstring injury is a good way to get yourself forgotten. These days all everyone does is talk of Allen Robinson or Marqise Lee. But let's not so quickly forget that Cecil Shorts has been the most […]

John Brown (WR, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+team leagues ANALYSIS: John Brown is a highly heralded rookie wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, and so far in three games played he has 3 TDs. Some people might say this makes him too touchdown dependent for his fantasy points, but he also is averaging 12.1 yards per reception in his […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR, Standard) Owned in 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This weekend the Baltimore Ravens lost a vital part of their offense for the season when Dennis Pitta dislocated his right hip vs. Cleveland.  Pitta, who was listed as the Raven's TE1, had successful surgery today but has been declared lost for the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues (PPR, Standard) Owned in 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who haven't noticed, the New York Giants' offensive line is struggling this season with 7 sacks allowed.

Mohamed Sanu (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues, Start in Leagues with Three WR Slots Owned in 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanu is not the Bengals' top wideout, nor is he worthy of being the team's #1 WR even if AJ Green were not there. That said, the third-year receiver threw his second career touchdown pass in his […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All 2QB Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie phenom Blake Bortles finally got his chance to play today, after the Jaguars decided to bench Chad Henne at halftime.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues (12+ Team Standard Leagues) Owned in 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie wide receiver Jordan Matthews has been a favorite of ours here at RotoBaller, and we touted him as a roster stash in the pre-season as part of our list of PPR wide receiver sleepers for this season.

Lorenzo Taliaferro (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With the news that Bernard Pierce would miss today's game with an injury, Justin Forsett and Lorenzo Taliaferro were thrust into the lead running back roles for the Ravens. Some saavy owners immediately grabbed Taliaferro off the waiver wire before today's game, if they had […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues (12-14+ Teams) Owned in 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As we already know, and have already seen this year, owning a valuable running back handcuff can be a great way to get an edge over your opponents. Teams that have built a system of running the ball with success can usually endure an injury […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues (PPR & Standard)  Owned in 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Asiata has been discussed at length on RotoBaller already, and on this waiver wire sleepers list as well, he is still only owned in 52% of Fleaflicker leagues so I'm going to discuss him again. As most of you […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVER: Stash in Deeper Leagues With 5+ Bench Spots Owned in 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Davante Adams was the Green Bay Packers' coveted 2nd round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, and was expected to be patiently waiting in line for playing time behind the obvious Green Bay logjam of wide receivers. Well, recent developments of Jarrett Boykin's […]

James Jones (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues 63% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming into the season there was a little uncertainty around who would wind up as the #1 wide receiver in Oakland.  Rod Streater has been a steady presence there, and many anticipated (yet again) the breakout of Denarius Moore.  But After Week 2 […]

Aaron Dobson (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues Owned in 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: When catching footballs in New England, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. Rob Gronkowski is obviously the #1 target for Tom Brady. Julian Edelman stepped up last season as the main Wide Receiver for Brady. Danny Amendola, when healthy, is […]

Niles Paul (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues, Monitor in Shallow Leagues Owned in 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Niles Paul is available in 73% of Fleaflicker leagues right now, and if you read my Week 2 & 3 TE Waiver pickup articles, you would be aware that Paul was on the radar to make an impact in Week 2 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Immediately Owned in 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week we talked about the AP situation, including his deactivation for Week 2's game and speculating on Matt Asiata as the fill-in running back for the Vikings and waiver wire pickup for your fantasy football teams.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues or Deeper Owned in 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you read my Week 2 Risers and Fallers article last week, you knew that I was not very high on Robert Griffin III. Little did I know that he was going to dislocate his ankle, paving the way for Kirk […]

Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's clear to everyone except maybe the Colts that Ahmad Bradshaw has easily outplayed Trent Richardson, in just about any NFL game that the two of them have played together. In standard fantasy football leagues, over the first two games of the season, Bradshaw […]

Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mark Ingram was due for a breakout year this year. He was finally having it, and then he went and broke his hand on Sunday. Enter Khiry Robinson, who if you ask me, is Mark Ingram's more talented compliment. Khiry Robinson grades out as a more […]

Delanie Walker (TE, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off of his best season as a pro in 2013, the former 49ers great Delanie Walker has been begging for more targets - and he's been receiving them in the Titans current offensive system with Jake Locker healthy. He's already started the first two games of the […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 10+ Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Hill is currently owned in just 52% of Fleaflicker leagues, which I find pretty tough to believe. The rookie Bengals' running back is showing more efficiency than Gio Bernard, with a very solid 4.9 YPC, and is also seeing his carries rise, with 15 rushing attempts in […]

Bobby Rainey (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (especially if you are a Doug Martin owner) ANALYSIS: If you drafted Doug Martin this season and are a knowledgeable fantasy sports player you might already own Bobby Rainey.
