NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 3

Different Fantasy Basketball leagues have different values for different stats and therefore different values for same players. Depending on a league's setup, a missed free throw can mean a lot in one league while it means next to nothing, or literally nothing in another. The strategy of punting is used in head to head category […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (11/08/16): NBA DFS Advice

There are six games on tonight. Boogie Cousins and Anthony Davis are going head-to-head to put a happy ending to everyone’s Election Day. While both of them are great options to build around, tonight the “cheaper” options of LeBron James and Damian Lillard are both playing at home against lesser teams. Basically one of these […]

Baltimore Ravens (DEF, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Ravens have played quite well this season, with their most recent game being a defensive victory over the Steelers despite their secondary sporting multiple injuries. Now they turn around on a short week to face a Cleveland team that just got […]

Chicago Bears (DEF, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Don’t look now, but Chicago’s defensive line has really brought the pain lately. They’ve recorded multiple sacks in seven of their eight games, with their five sacks from Week 8 tying their season high. Now the Bears are coming fresh out of […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford failed to blow us away in a cupcake matchup against the worst pass defense in the league according to Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric, but he still completed 31-of-40 passes for 273 yards and a TD. There was a clear emphasis on quick, […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Props to y’all who trusted Colin Kaepernick enough to stream him against that atrocious Saints defense, as he turned in 398 passing yards and two touchdowns with 23 yards rushing alongside one interception and a fumble lost. He still had his share of horrid […]

Cody Kessler (QB, CLE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cody Kessler didn’t have an easy test in his first week back in action, as Dallas ruled the game with an iron fist for much of the contest. Kessler made several nice throws, but also bounced a potential touchdown throw early to Andrew Hawkins […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Nick Foles wasn’t very good against Jacksonville in Week 10 (20-of-33 for 187 yards and one touchdown), but he was missing Spencer Ware and Jeremy Maclin here. If Alex Smith misses more time, Foles would draw a Week 10 start against Carolina’s porous secondary […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rishard Matthews had his finest game as a member of the Titans on Sunday, catching six of a team-leading 10 targets for 63 yards and two touchdowns in the high-scoring loss to the Chargers. After a slow start to the season, Matthews […]

Steve Smith (WR, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After missing the Ravens' previous two games, Steve Smith returned from his ankle injury and had an OK game, catching four of a team-leading seven targets for 47 yards. No one outside of Mike Wallace, whose 95-yard TD got the Ravens on […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bengals were on a bye this week, so we did not get a chance to see them in action. However, Tyler Boyd makes for a good add heading into Week 10, mainly in PPR leagues. In Week 8, Boyd caught 5-of-7 […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the season started, no one was sure who the Cardinals top WR would be among Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and John Brown. Fitz has been far and away the best option so far this season, but it is J.J. Nelson who has emerged […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Vincent Jackson on the IR and Russell Shepard out on Thursday night, Adam Humphries was able to shine as the No. 2 WR in the Buccaneers' offense. He caught 5-of-7 targets for 46 yards and a TD on the day, with […]

Quinton Patton (WR, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the three games Colin Kaepernick has started for the 49ers, Quinton Patton has led the team in targets with 20 total. Patton had his best game of the season this week, catching six passes for 106 yards in the loss to the […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Taylor Gabriel has provided the Falcons with an unexpected source of offense over the past two weeks. In Week 8, he caught all three of his targets for 68 yards and a TD. In Week 9, he caught all five of his targets for 52 yards, […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the four weeks since Kendall Wright has fully been involved (after recovering from an early-season injury), he has totaled 16 catches on 23 targets for 293 yards and two touchdowns. While the bulk of that (8-133-1) came in that Week 6 […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyreek Hill, and honestly all of Kansas City’s offense, really didn’t do much of anything against Jacksonville in Week 9. He did see five targets, but only caught three of them for 11 measly yards. Hopefully no one ever sold him as […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee tied his season-high mark in targets with eight, catching four of them for 84 yards. Most of the damage came on a 51-yard strike, and his little spike back up after Week 8’s disappointment was likely tied to Allen Hurns […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Thielen’s numbers won’t astound, but he has seen at least five targets in each of his last four games and put up at least seven points in PPR formats in each, as well. He caught four-of-six targets for 68 yards in Week 9 […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflickers ANALYSIS: While Week 8 snapped his little streak of six-plus targets, Cordarrelle Patterson bounced back with a season-high eight in Minnesota’s Week 9 loss to Detroit. He has notably only surpassed 50 yards once this season, but Patterson may benefit from a more […]

Eli Rogers (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Eli Rogers was Ben Roethlisberger’s clear-cut No. 2 wide receiver in their brutal Week 9 matchup against the Ravens, behind Antonio Brown. Le’Veon Bell is basically the No. 2 target, but Rogers got a lot more work with Markus Wheaton in the […]

Russell Shepard (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Russell Shepard is dealing with a hip issue, but if he is cleared to return for Week 10, then he could be in line to pick up where he left off as far as scoring touchdowns goes. He found the end zone […]

Bryce Treggs (WR, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Bryce Treggs was an undrafted free agent who Philadelphia claimed from San Francisco, and he was active for the first time in the Eagles’ Week 9 battle against the Giants after WR Josh Huff was waived. Treggs announced his presence to the […]

Roger Lewis (WR, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Roger Lewis caught one of his two Week 9 targets against the Eagles for a 30-yard TD. This is all well and good in itself, but the story here is that Victor Cruz never returned to the game after suffering an ankle […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Don't look too much into Kenny Stills' Week 9 performance — one catch for 11 yards — as he left the game with an illness. In week 10, he’ll face a Chargers defense that might be able to suppress touchdowns but isn't finding […]

Markus Wheaton (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A healthy scratch Sunday, wide receiver Markus Wheaton will look to get back on the field in Week 10 at home against the Cowboys for the first time since Week 5. There's really no telling just how he fits into the Steelers’ […]
