Alex Gordon will be out for eight weeks, after the Kansas City Royals outfielder was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his left groin. The injury occurred on Wednesday when the 31-year-old was attempting to track down a fly ball in left field. It appeared as if he barely hit the wall, but he […]

Khris Davis (MIL, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis has legitimate power. There's no doubt about that. I know I know, you're all worried about Gerardo Parra getting a bigger share of the playing time. However a trade involving Parra seems all but imminent so there appears to be an […]

Brandon Phillips (CIN, 2B) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So he's not what he once was, but he's still a very serviceable player at a shallow position. He also hits in a favorable ballpark and has a track record of being a very good hitter. Here's the thing, he won't put […]

Jarrod Dyson (KC, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: With Alex Gordon out for the next eight weeks, Dyson becomes a very interesting play in all leagues. Speed is the name of his game as he doesn't offer any power, but 130 steals in 395 games is pretty impressive. Ned Yost […]

Yovani Gallardo (P, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 66% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Yovani Gallardo has been among the best pitchers in baseball since the beginning of June.

John Brown (WR, ARI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: 147 STD, 103 PPR ANALYSIS: With a potentially healthy Carson Palmer, the Cardinals could back on track in 2015, and second-year wide receiver John Brown could be a major beneficiary of Arizona's pass-happy offense. He finished in the top 10 in several major rookie receiving stats last year, […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: 181 STD, 162 PPR ANALYSIS: With Reggie Wayne out of town, the Colts' offense, which led the league in passing in 2014, will run through the hands of T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief. With only 32 targets last year, Moncrief ranked third among rookies in WR rating. Given that he […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: 129 STD, 100 PPR ANALYSIS: With only 38 targets, Davante Adams received less attention than many first year wideouts in 2014, but a few key aspects make him stand out heading into 2015. First and foremost, he has Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball. Despite being third on the […]

Luis Valbuena (3B / 2B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Valbuena is nursing a sprained big toe, but that doesn’t appear to be negatively impacting him at the plate. June was actually his best month of the year, as he compiled an .883 OPS with nine homers and 32 R+RBI. Valbuena continues to be […]

Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bour homered in four consecutive games last week, giving him 10 on the year. That tends to draw the attention of fantasy owners, but he’s still free in nine out of every 10 leagues. Michael Morse is nearly recovered from his back injury, but […]

Aramis Ramirez (3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s been a difficult season for Ramirez, who has looked every bit his 37 years of age more often than not. Over the last month, however, he’s hitting .304/.343/.533 with four homers and 23 RBI. He’s reportedly drawing some trade interest, which could lead […]

Logan Forsythe (1B / 2B / 3B, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Forsythe has been a pleasant surprise for the Rays and for fantasy owners this year, making solid contributions across the board. For the season, he’s slashing .281/.365/.425 with eight homers and seven stolen bases. In addition to his current positional eligibility at first and […]

Miguel Sano (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sano has hit safely in every game since his promotion and went yard for the first time last night. The 22 year old has been thrust right into the middle of the Twins’ lineup and, to his credit, hasn’t looked overmatched. He’ll get plenty of […]

Kevin White (WR, CHI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~60 Overall in Standard Leagues, Top Five in Dynasty Leagues CURRENT ADP: 88 STD, 83 PPR ANALYSIS: The combination of his ability to make spectacular catches and his football IQ makes rookie Kevin White a feared player right away, but he still has a lot of room to grow. New Bears head coach John […]
