Tyrell Williams (WR, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Keenan Allen and now Danny Woodhead out for the season, a ton targets will be up for grabs in the San Diego offense. Last week, it was clear that Travis Benjamin was the go-to option, but Tyrell Williams made the most […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Shane Vereen out-rushed Rashad Jennings against New Orleans, but more curiously he also saw more carries. Vereen has mainly been a third-down back throughout his career, but his 14 rushes (compared to Jennings’ 13) may represent a shift in the Giants’ backfield. It […]

Jay Ajayi (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Halfway through the second game of the regular season, Arian Foster's groin betrays him again. Jay Ajayi took over lead running duties and promptly fumbled the ball. Although his final line wasn't impressive (five carries for 14 yards, four receptions for 31 […]

Fozzy Whittaker (RB, CAR) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jonathan Stewart left Sunday's game early on with a hamstring injury, and it was Fozzy Whittaker seeing the bulk of the playing time thereafter. He responded with 100 yards on the ground and another 31 through the air. Cameron Artis-Payne has been […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adrian Peterson went down holding his knee on Sunday night and had to be helped off the field. Sam Bradford and Jerick McKinnon are now the starters in Minnesota, and while this isn’t ideal for the Vikings, McKinnon will get his shot […]

Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Through two games, Dak Prescott has completed just 55.2% of his passes, but he has also averaged 259.5 yards per game. He also contributed on the ground in Week 2 by running in a touchdown from six yards out. Prescott has an […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After a 2015 season that saw Ryan Fitzpatrick put up career-high numbers, it’s not much of a surprise to see him start of 2016 hot with even more weapons. Through two games (vs. Cincinnati and at Buffalo), he has completed 62.3% of […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: So far this season, Alex Smith has essentially hit his floor and reached his ceiling in the Chiefs’ first two games. Week 1 saw him throw for 363 yards and two touchdowns in an overtime victory over the Chargers, but he fell […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Any damage Ryan Tannehill has done so far this season came during garbage time in New England in Week 2. However, a home match-up with the Browns in Week 3 may cure those blues. Over the first two weeks, Cleveland has surrendered […]

Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues Owned in: 55% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: Clay has been a disappointment in the eyes of many fantasy owners (and Buffalo fans) since signing with the Bills last year, but the firing of run-addicted Greg Roman might turn into more pass attempts for Tyrod Taylor.  If that holds true, Clay should certainly […]

Lance Kendricks (TE, LA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stream in 14-team leagues Owned in: 6% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: I know Case Keenum and Kendricks will never be confused with Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, but Kendricks had 61 yards against Seattle last weekend and this weekend faces a Tampa Bay defense that allowed Matt Ryan and Carson Palmer to rip them to shreds […]

Jordan Cameron (TE, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stream in 12-team leagues Owned in: 32% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: I am not completely sold on Cameron since his 49 yards and a TD against New England came after Ryan Tannehill through the ball about 700 times.  That said, Cameron gets to run patterns against the hapless Cleveland this upcoming week, and Miami has five of […]

Vance McDonald (TE, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues Owned in: 22% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: Two weeks, two touchdowns...and one was a 75-yarder! That’s all I need to know, how about you?  McDonald is not exactly drowning in targets, but when Blaine Gabbert does look his way McDonald is definitely making the most of his opportunities. McDonald is a beast […]

Jacob Tamme (TE, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues Owned in: 41% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: Tamme has a reputation as a solid fantasy play when the Falcons are home at the Georgia Dome, but he also tends to put up the stats of a blocking tight end when he goes on the road.  Tamme drowned that theory in the river this […]

Dennis Pitta (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 10-team leagues Owned in: 9% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: Did you listen to me last week when I told you to pick Pitta up? No? While I am sure Pitta was picked up in a handful of leagues, he is probably still available in most fantasy leagues. But he won’t be for long after […]

Miami Dolphins (DEF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stream in 12-team leagues in Week 3 Owned in: 15% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: Another week, another opportunity to target the Browns with a fantasy defense. The matchup is even tastier than it was last week as reports are that the Browns plan to start untested rookie Cody Kessler. It is doubtful that Kessler is ready […]

Week 3 NFL Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Welcome to the third installment of the Waiver Wire weekly series for the 2016 fantasy football season. While Week 1 was pretty tame, fantasy owners should count their lucky stars if they made it through Week 2 without seeing one of their running backs go down. The names who were affected in Week 2: Adrian Peterson, Danny […]

Fozzy Whittaker (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Only Jonathan Stewart owners should add him OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart continues his well-known injury history and this time it is in the form of a pulled hamstring. In terms of productivity, running back Fozzy Whittaker stepped in and stepped up with a big game. His stat-line reads 16 carries […]

Kenny Britt (WR, LA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Wide receiver Kenny Britt was a once young prodigy hopeful out of Rutgers with tons of talent. He never really put together the stud fantasy football statistics we had all hoped. However, quietly Britt is starting off his season on a good level. His first game […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Unfortunately, running back Adrian Peterson owners saw their first-round pick hobbling off the field in Week 2, unable to put any weight on his leg. Peterson is now expected to miss 3-4 months recovering from on his torn meniscus. Jerick McKinnon has been named Minnesota's starter, […]

Dennis Pitta (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Welcome back to the fantasy football world Dennis Pitta. We are finally getting to see the talent we have all been waiting for. Before this season began, Pitta hadn't played in an NFL game since September 21, 2014 where he fractured and dislocated his hip for […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 3 Waiver Wire Targets

Welcome back readers. We've made it past Week 2, but not all of us made it. NFL Sunday might as well have been a morgue, with Danny Woodhead (torn ACL), Jonathan Stewart (hamstring), Doug Martin (hamstring), Arian Foster (groin), Rashad Jennings (left hand), Ameer Abdullah (sprained foot), Jimmy Garapollo (shoulder) and Josh McCown (shoulder) all […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire: Week 3 Pickups & Adds

Welcome back everyone! Here we are heading into Week 3. The injury bug went around the league during Week 2, but for the most part avoided the WR position. Brandon Marshall is dealing with some knee troubles (still a shot to play in Week 3), Julio Jones is limping (nothing new, he’s fine), Below you […]

Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quincy Enunwa is very quickly making his name known especially in the fantasy football world. In his first game of this season he caught seven balls for 54 yards and one touchdown. Most recently in Week 2, Enunwa became quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's favorite target especially in […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire: Week 3 Pickups & Adds

Some of their possible replacements may surprise you, so be sure to check my column carefully before making any Week 3 waiver claims. Each week, this article will aim to highlight running backs that you should consider targeting on […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 3 Pickups & Adds

The slump for tight ends luckily lasted just one week. Tight ends had a nice turnaround in Week 2 after no tight end had more than 75 receiving yards in any Week 1 game, but that does not mean that fantasy owners won't be scouring their league’s waiver wires for help this week. If anything it means […]

Week Three QB Pickups & Streamers: One-QB & Two-QB Leagues

RotoBallers, In recent years, the concept of streaming has become a popular one within fantasy football circles. Particularly with quarterbacks and defense/special teams, the idea of swapping players out every week based on attractive matchups has led numerous owners to victory (or to the basement, if such owners didn’t stream correctly). It’s not a bad […]
