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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Carey tallied four more touches than Jordan Howard to the tune of 35 more yards against the Packers in Week 7, and may very well get more usage in Week 8’s Monday night showdown against a stout Minnesota front. Chicago’s only hope may be […]

Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ok, so his crazy Week 8 workload was more likely a short-term message to Mark Ingram to hold onto the ball, but this is still a handcuff worth owning due to the potency of this New Orleans offense. Tim Hightower turned 26 carries against a […]

Antone Smith (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jacquizz Rodgers left Tampa Bay’s Week 8 pirate fight with the Raiders due to a foot injury, and will only have a few days to recover before the Bucs play on Thursday night against the Falcons. While Peyton Barber (9% owned) was the one […]

Terron Ward (RB, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Tevin Coleman on the shelf and Devonta Freeman dealing with a bit of a hip issue (he did fine, of course), Terron Ward was the clear spell-back who rushed six times for 46 yards while catching an 11-yard reception. Atlanta will face a stout Tampa […]

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz has struggled of late, but given the Eagles’ soft upcoming schedule, it looks as though those struggles could come to an end. He faced tough defenses in Weeks 6, 7 and 8 (Washington, Minnesota and Dallas) but will take on […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill should be a very popular pickup this week with a low ownership rate and a home date with the Jets. New York’s secondary is essentially a dream matchup for any quarterback nowadays, and in Week 9 we could see the […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco continues to throw for an above-average amount of yards, but has been lacking in touchdowns all season. There’s a good chance his shoulder injury has something to do with that, but after using the Ravens’ Week 8 bye to heal up, […]

Sam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford has surprisingly had a resurgent 2016, completing 67.5% of his passes for 1,214 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. What's even more impressive is that he's done it against a few defenses ranking near the top of league, including those of Houston […]

Trevor Siemian (QB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Although Trevor Siemian hasn’t exactly been putting up big numbers, his style of play has been exactly what Denver has needed with a strong run game and stout defense. In Week 9, however, the Broncos have the benefit of taking on the Raiders 32nd-ranked […]

Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Josh McCown got to feast on a pretty bad Jets secondary in his return from a shoulder injury, but stats are stats, and his say that he went 25-of-49 for 341 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions with 10 yards rushing. The Browns is […]

Nick Foles (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith was hit hard in KC’s Week 8 matchup with the Colts, leaving early on with an arm injury before eventually leaving for good after he took a shot to the head. All-in-all, Nick Foles completed 16-of-22 passes for 223 yards, two touchdowns […]

Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As soon as Mark Ingram fumbled in the first quarter against Seattle, his day was over. The Saints then dusted off Tim Hightower and made him the primary back for the remainder of the game. He responded with 102 rushing yards on 26 carries, providing […]

Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As mentioned above, Spencer Ware didn't see the field in the second half against the Colts after leaving with a suspected concussion. Even if Ware clears the concussion protocol in time to play against Jacksonville next week, Charcandrcik West should get enough snaps to have […]

Alfred Morris (RB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At the time of this writing, the Cowboys-Eagles game hasn't even kicked off, yet Alfred Morris could be the most important waiver add of the week. Recent reports have suggested that Ezekiel Elliott could be suspended for a significant amount of time due to a […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rob Kelley stepped into the lead role for Washington with Matt Jones out and performed well, running the ball for 87 yards and a touchdown. Kelley would be rated higher for Week 9, but the Redskins have a bye and it isn't clear whether […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lewis practiced with the Patriots this week after being activated from the PUP list. He should be activated within the next three weeks and take over the pass-catching role from James White. Lewis caught 36 passes for 388 yards in just seven games last year and ran […]

Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 66% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pete Carroll said that Thomas Rawls is still a couple of weeks away from game action. That could mean a return as early as Week 10. That is the optimistic timeline, however, as Rawls could also be shelved until early December if he doesn't recover […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues for owners of Lamar Miller OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A lingering shoulder injury for Lamar Miller has led to higher usage for Alfred Blue. In Week 8, Blue had nine rushing attempts for 41 yards. In an extended audition to be the starter in place of Arian Foster last […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the starter gets hurt, the backup to the backup suddenly has value. Kapri Bibbs only took eight snaps against San Diego, but he is now the handcuff to last week's hottest waiver add, Devontae Booker. At 5'9", 212 lbs, the undrafted free agent out of […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the Jags signed Ivory to a huge contract this offseason, you would think it would lead to more than four carries in a prime time Thursday night game against a division rival. Ivory has been a victim of a bad offensive line and […]

Monday Morning NFL Recap - Week 8 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

As flawed as the NFL may be, you can't say they aren't good at getting into the holiday spirit. Thanksgiving games are a beloved yearly tradition. They've managed not to force 80% of the league to play on Christmas so the players can spend time with their families. They celebrate Labor Day by making us […]

RotoBaller NBA Roundup for Monday, October 31

Sunday night didn't produce many surprises. Golden State and San Antonio won, Russell Westbrook had another monster line, Andre Drummond rebounded a lot, Gregg Popovich rested another of his players, James Harden was fouled at the buzzer. There were, however, some surprisingly low point games, some exciting late game action, and some nice lines from the […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Big Man Stats (FG%, REB, BLK) for Week 2

Let’s take a look at a few names to target if you’re punting big stats (FG%, REB, and/or BLK) that might be available on your waiver wire. It’s important to remember that just because a player is good in a category you’re punting, doesn’t make him unownable to you. Exercise patience for your early round […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Roto Bigs (PF, C, PF/C) for Week 2

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/31/16)

  It may be Halloween today but, for us, the real scary stuff happened on Saturday. That's because a few teams that had been the bedrock of our Top 10 rankings--and a few others who had been a gleam in our eyes--did the unthinkable and unforgivable... they lost. By the time Brian Hill (a borderline […]

Rotoballer NBA Roundup for Sunday, October 30th

Saturday saw 18 teams going at it. A full slate of NBA action on the Saturday before Halloween was scary good. (I'm proud of that). After some crazy performances to start the season (50 point triple doubles for example) last night's action was a little more subdued. With no major injuries or crazy breakout performances […]
