Rob Kelley (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Monitor in deep leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rob Kelley also saw some time after Matt Jones entered the dog house with his fumbling ways and produced a receiving touchdown. Kelley only carried the ball four times for 15 yards, but has shown some potential when given the chance. He isn't worth owning at the moment, but […]

Ka'Deem Carey (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues if you own Jordan Howard OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ka'Deem Carey surprisingly outsnapped Jordan Howard in Thursday night's loss at Green Bay. He had slightly more success too, running for 48 yards on 10 carries. He shouldn't be a threat to Howard's starting job, but could be worked into the rotation more frequently […]

Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues if healthy for next Sunday OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yes, I'm still stumping for D-Wash (the Detroit one). Dwayne Washington was expected to play this week, but needed a bit more time to recover from a bum ankle. Justin Forsett hasn't done anything to hold onto the job and Theo Riddick remains out, […]

Knile Davis (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The presumed new starting RB for Green Bay only carried the ball three times and managed to end up with -1 yard on Thursday. To be fair, Knile Davis only had a couple of days to prepare for his debut in a Packers uniform. Then again, he […]

Chris Ivory (RB, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 69% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory only carried the ball five times on Sunday, but that was more a result of game flow. T.J. Yeldon only carried the ball six times as the Jags just couldn't muster any offense. Ivory did rip off a 47-yard run, but did nothing on his remaining carries. […]

C.J. Prosise (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Seahawks were eager enough to get C.J. Prosise on the field that they deactivated recent acquisition C.J. Spiller for Week 7 and only gave one carry to backup Alex Collins. The third-round pick out of Notre Dame didn't see much action, carrying the ball once for […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Whether Devontae Booker sees more carries on Monday Night Football remains to be seen, but he is among the top handcuffs to own at the moment. Booker hasn't necessarily seen his usage increase, with just five rushes last week, but he has shown more burst than C.J. Anderson. Coach […]

Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Jones' lost fumble turned into Chris Thompson's repeated gains. Jones fumbled straight into the end zone on a goal-line opportunity and only saw 10 carries on the day as a result. Thompson then saw a jump in carries, turning 12 runs into 73 yards. His […]

Monday Morning NFL Recap - Week 7 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

I feel like we as a country needed this week to happen, you know?  To fall back into the comforting routine of Roger Goodell's catching heat for his complete, almost sociopathic lack of regard for the health or happiness of women.  I'm not saying he's secretly a sci-fi version of Donald Trump who's discovered a […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/24/16)

We still have a number of undefeated teams vying for top-four spots in the BCS rankings--meaning, one loss effectively ends a team's chances of lifting the only trophy that matters at the end. So, bye-bye Texas A&M, this week's biggest loser--even though there's no shame in losing at Tuscaloosa. And so long Ohio State (well, […]

Keeper/Dynasty Basketball: Trey Lyles is the Future of Fours

In every fantasy sport, keeper and dynasty leagues are becoming more and more popular by the year.  Fantasy basketball is no exception, and with its long-lasting stars and relatively stable career arcs, it's especially friendly to long-term planning.  This week, RotoBaller begins its weekly series of profiles on emerging keeper and dynasty options, which we […]

Brad Leibfried's Draft Sleepers List (Premium Content)

Oh, the fantasy basketball sleeper. It is a term that is often discussed and heavily debated. What makes a sleeper a sleeper, and when do they cross over the threshold from sleeper to overvalued. For me, the term sleeper just means a savvy draft pick who could be an excellent value where they are currently being drafted. In […]

Brad Leibfried's Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)

The best way to lose your fantasy basketball draft is to blow your early round picks on guys who don't perform like early round picks. The following players are going fairly early in drafts, but have no room for upside at their current draft price, with plenty of room for downside.  I'll be avoiding them […]

Trevor Crippen's Late-Round NBA Fliers (Premium Content)

You don't win your leagues in the first few rounds, but you certainly can lose them. Often times leagues are won by making solid, boring picks in the early rounds, then nailing some high upside breakout stars in the final few rounds.  Many a league winner who drafted C.J. McCollum at the tail end of […]

Trevor Crippen's NBA Dynasty Sleepers List (Premium Content)

It's hard to evaluate what's being undervalued and overvalued in dynasty leagues in fantasy basketball, because unlike football and baseball, there just isn't reliable information out there about the average ADP of players in basketball dynasty leagues. I could go through rankings on other sites, but those rankings are just what one site (and often […]

Three Undervalued Guards for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

This league is chock full of guards that are able to contribute. Finding guards who are undervalued that you can target later in the draft while stocking up on the more talented big men in the beginning is always a sound strategy. While you don’t want to wait too long to get your starting guards, […]

Three Undervalued Forwards for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

Forward is normally a deep position in fantasy basketball. Many owners look for their forwards to be solid all around producers in the mold of Draymond Green or Kristaps Porzingis. When getting to the later rounds of the draft, forwards become more one dimensional contributors who only provide one or two category boosts such as […]

Three Undervalued Centers for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

With studs such as Karl-Anthony Towns, DeMarcus Cousins, and Al Horford at the top of the draft, centers are likely to go early in your fantasy draft. However, if you miss out on a stud or do not like the downside to players such as Andre Drummond or DeAndre Jordan, there are a few late […]

Sleeper Alert: Three NBA Guards to Target Late

Basketball season is upon us. Stephen Curry will look to stay healthy, and lead a redemptive tour back to the top. Kyrie Irving plans to ride his magical finals performance into the regular season while it has gotten pretty lonely in Oklahoma City for Russell Westbrook. What do all these names have in common? They're […]

Sleeper Alert: Three NBA Forwards To Target Late

The leaves are changing colors, the NFL season is in full swing and baseball’s postseason has begun. The next step in the natural sports cycle is for the NBA to get underway, and it’ll do just that in a matter of weeks. Now is the time to start with fantasy basketball drafts, and of course […]

Rookie Guards to Target in Fantasy Basketball

The annual NBA Draft is one of the most exciting times for  hoops enthusiasts. It's a great time to get fired up about our team's future and to try to peg the next big star in the league. For fantasy purposes, guys aren't necessarily must-owns based on talent, but a lot of times the situations those […]

Rookie Centers to Target in Fantasy Basketball

Last year’s crop of rookie centers were so good they managed to breathe some new life into a "dying" position. Karl-Anthony Towns, Nikola Jokic, Myles Turner, and Jahlil Okafor all paid immediate dividends to not only the teams that drafted them but also any fantasy owners smart enough to snatch the young big men up. […]

Hellmann's 500: Daily Fantasy NASCAR DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks

The second elimination race of the Chase is upon us and there is no more entertaining destination than Talladega Superspeedway. The Hellmann's 500 comes to us this Sunday afternoon with just eight of the remaining 12 drivers advancing into the Round of 8 starting at Martinsville next week. As with any superspeedway race I look for value […]

Players to Target When Punting Free Throw Percentage (FT%) in Drafts

Punting free throw percentage (FT%) usually isn’t a draft strategy done by choice, but it can be a viable strategy nonetheless. If this type of punt is done with a solid draft plan, you can build a really strong fantasy basketball team on draft day. If you find yourself drafting John Wall, Andre Drummond, DeAndre Jordan, […]
