Eric Ebron (TE, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues or Deeper OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eric Ebron was the tenth overall pick a year ago, so clearly he was a highly regarded talent out of college. He's a big target at 6'4" and 265 lbs and should be one of Matthew Stafford's main redzone/endzone […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues Ownership: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most people view Dion Lewis as a one-week fill in for LeGarrette Blount, but there could be more potential there. Lewis looks to be the clear choice to take over the Patriots' pass-catching-back role, which has the potential to be very productive. Lewis racked […]

Danny Woodhead (RB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 72% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Coming into the 2015 season Danny Woodhead was given the 'sleeper' title.  Now that week 1 is over he no longer a 'sleeper' and rightfully so.  The reason that Woodhead was under the radar a bit was due to a season ending injury he […]

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  For the start of the 2015 season there were many questions about what the running back approach would be for the Dallas Cowboys this season.  With the huge loss of DeMarco Murray to free agency and the lack of drafting or acquiring […]

Tyler Lockett (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues w/ Return Yards and 14+ Team Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Tyler Lockett is an interesting case, as he came on strong into Week 1 on the heels of a strong preseason.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 59% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Austin Seferian-Jenkins, or "ASJ" for those averse to keystrokes, was the lone bright spot for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. At the end of the game, ASJ was second on the team in targets with seven, and put together an incredible […]

Bishop Sankey (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Week 1 was a great week to be an owner with stock in the Tennessee Titans, as they made the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look like a bunch of amateurs. Marcus Mariota is getting most of the attention for his stellar performance, as he […]

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Brandon Coleman had a strong debut for the Saints, posting a solid 4-41-1 line in Week 1.

Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't be fooled by the fact T.Y Hilton is questionable for week 2 versus the New York Jets: Moncrief is a legit option in Indy's passing attack. With questions pertaining who would take hold of the WR3 role between Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett, Moncrief went undrafted […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While Dez Bryant owners are still sobering up to the fact they lost their first round pick for six weeks (at least), those owners desperate for WR are rejoicing. Terrance Williams is expected to slide into the WR1 role, which leaves us with […]

Week 1 of the NFL saw the favorites win nine of 13 contests. I correctly picked the Jets and Cardinals to win, but unfortunately the Bucs were hammered.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rick Porcello was supposed to be a big part of the Boston Red Sox plans this season and he has fallen short of those expectations. However, Porcello lately has found his way, increasing his K/9 and limiting his ER drastically from even […]

Carl Crawford (OF,LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Who would have thought, after all of the injuries and disappointments and letdowns that Carl Crawford has provided to owners over the past few years, that he would be a viable option for a fantasy baseball playoff run in 2015 for any owner? […]

Mark Canha (1B/OF,OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mark Canha is the type of player you just can't seem to dislike no matter the slump.

Kelly Johnson (1B/2B/3B/OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If someone were to tell you that a veteran journeyman who has struggled to hold down a regular job could help win you your fantasy championship, you'd probably call them crazy. Then entertain the name Kelly Johnson and you might admit yourself […]

Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 24

Another mixed bag on the buy side last week, as Patrick Corbin pitched well against the Dodgers, but Jorge de la Rosa was unimpressive and Carlos Rodon had his turn in the rotation skipped.

Down Goes DeSean: How Washington Will Respond

Kirk Cousins had DeSean Jackson open on a fly route down the right sideline, but Cousins overthrew him.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Week 2 Matchup Stream OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I can't lie, I didn't expect anything out of Nick Foles against the Seahawks.

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add as Backup QB / Week 2 Matchup Stream OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kaepernick is above 50% as of this writing, but once the waiver period passes, I'm guessing that a lot of people will be dropping Kaep to pick up Marcus Mariota or maybe even a guy like Alex Smith or Andy […]
