2016 In Review: Outfield (OF) Busts

Our review of the 2016 fantasy baseball season continues with a look at some of the most disappointing performances in the outfield. Bust Outfielders in 2016 Jason Heyward, Chicago Cubs Heyward has had a fairly weird career. He broke into the majors back in 2010. Just 20 years old with 200 plate appearances above High-A […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Chargers came out of their bye fresh and slammed Brock Osweiler and the Texans with one sack, three picks and a fumble recovery while allowing only 13 points. Joey Bosa looks fantastic out there, and now they’ll go home to take […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (DEF, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bucs’ defensive unit just wowed the football world with an absolute shutdown of Russell Wilson and the Seahawks, allowing only three points! Yes, Seattle had their injuries on the offensive line, but Tampa’s pass rush was still electric and gained some […]

Anquan Boldin (WR, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Anquan Boldin certainly did all he could to help the Lions celebrate on Thanksgiving Day. He caught 7-of-9 targets for 69 yards (a season high) and a short TD to open up the scoring. This was Boldin’s second straight game with nine targets, […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Without Giovani Bernard and A.J. Green, the Bengals' offense looked a bit different on Sunday. Jeremy Hill set career highs with six catches on six targets, and Tyler Eifert led the way with 11 targets on the day. Eifert will likely benefit […]

Tyreek Hill (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyreek Hill has been on this list for a number of weeks, graduating from the under-15% owned list and now seeing himself rise to this side of the list. He has been leading the Chiefs' receiving corps for the past several weeks […]

Ted Ginn (WR, CAR) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The most surprising player to bring down double-digit touchdowns last season is beginning to produce like that player again this season. Through 10 weeks, Ted Ginn had no touchdowns, with only one game of more than 60 receiving yards. Over the past two games, […]

Malcolm Mitchell (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tom Brady and Malcolm Mitchell seem to be getting more accustomed to each other as the weeks go on. Last week, Mitchell seemingly came out of nowhere to score the first touchdown of his career, and followed up that performance in a […]

Taylor Gabriel (WR, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Surprisingly, Taylor Gabriel led the Falcons in receiving on Sunday against the Cardinals' stout passing defense. He caught 4-of-5 targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns, also adding in one rush for 27 yards. Gabriel has only seen an average of three touches […]

Jermaine Kearse (WR, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Along with most of the Seahawks offense, Jermaine Kearse didn’t do much this week to warrant an immediate pickup. He caught just one of his five targets for 18 yards as Seattle lost a tough one to the Buccaneers, 14-to-5. Doug Baldwin […]

Marquess Wilson (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, I’m sure this is one performance no one saw coming this week. With Jay Cutler out, Matt Barkley led the Bears' passing attack, with Marquess Wilson being the immediate benefactor. He caught eight of his team-leading 11 targets for 125 yards […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman’s six targets were actually his lowest mark in his last four games, yet he turned in his best game since Week 4. He caught all six of said targets for 119 yards and a TD to post top-10 WR numbers […]

Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quincy Enunwa bounced back in a big way in Week 12, as he hauled in all five of his targets for 109 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots after catching only two balls combined over his last two games. The Pats’ […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon LaFell saw nine targets with A.J. Green on the shelf, the same amount as in Week 11. He somehow managed to be less efficient than last week’s four-catch, 32-yard effort, though, as he only caught three balls for 38 yards. Seven […]

Cameron Meredith (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Meredith somehow ended up with the worst line out of all Chicago receivers, as he caught a measly two balls out of nine targets for only 19 yards. He suffered from plenty of drops, but the bigger concern is how he […]

Kenny Stills (WR, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenny Stills had another one of his “boom” weeks, catching three-of-six targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 12 victory over the 49ers. He now has five touchdowns on the season, but hasn’t ever scored in consecutive weeks. […]

Adam Thielen (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With target monster Stefon Diggs sidelined, Adam Thielen saw 11 targets in Minnesota’s Thanksgiving Day loss to the Lions. He turned those looks into eight catches for 53 yards, and has now topped 10 points in PPR formats in each of the […]

Marqise Lee (WR, JAC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee caught four of his six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown against the Bills in Week 12, and added a two-yard rush just for fun. On a day where Blake Bortles’ arm failed to generate much of anything, Lee […]

J.J. Nelson (WR, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: J.J. Nelson has angered many of us, I know. The fact remains that he should be the next man up if John Brown (hamstring) misses any time. It wouldn’t be surprising at this point, those hamstrings have been bothering him all season […]

NFL Recap - Week 12 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/28/16)

Thanksgiving weekend doesn't make or break a college basketball season. It doesn't tell you which teams will be in the Final Four come March.

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/28/16)

Ohio State presents college football with a very modern problem. The Buckeyes, at least if the Twitter-sphere is to be believed, will likely play for a national crown but won't play for a Big Ten championship, and have said they had no interest in playing for the conference title, preferring instead to rest a week longer […]

2016 in Review: Shortstop (SS) Busts

Our review of the 2016 fantasy baseball season continues with a look at some busts at the shortstop position. These players simply couldn't bring enough value to justify their ADP.
