Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 33% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Markus Wheaton returned to the Steelers on Sunday, and didn’t make the impact many thought he would. With the emergence of Eli Rogers and Sammie Coates, Wheaton has seen his role limited. Coates is still the biggest deep threat on the roster; he only […]

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

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 29% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Devin Funchess earned the WR2 spot alongside Kelvin Benjamin to open the year, but so far it has been Ted Ginn who has been the team’s second best WR. Through three games, Ginn has caught 6-of-12 targets for 118 yards. He has an […]

Seth Roberts (WR, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues Owned In: 6% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Behind Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, there is Seth Roberts. Last week Roberts caught 2-of-6 targets for 27 yards and a TD, his second of the season. While he is the third option on the Raiders (16 targets), Carr has shown he will throw […]

Robert Woods (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stream in 10- and 12-team leagues when Sammy Watkins is out Owned In: 11% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Robert Woods found some success without Sammy Watkins on the field his week, catching 6-of-8 targets for 51 yards, on a day when Tyrod Taylor only threw for 119 yards. With Watkins likely to be hobbled for most of […]

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

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues Owned In: 11% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Marqise Lee is the most under-appreciated fantasy receiver in the league right now. Though he is only 11% owned on Fleaflicker, he has stats eerily similar to a much higher owned receiver on the same team, in Allen Hurns (87% owned). While Hurns has the […]

Terrelle Pryor (WR, CLE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues Owned In: 23% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Terrelle Pryor was on this list last week, and while I like to change things up the best I can week-to-week you have to pick this guy up if he is still available. With Corey Coleman now out of the picture and Josh Gordon […]

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

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 4% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: With Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson taking the deeper routes/endzone targets, who is there to take over the short routes? In comes Adam Humphries. He has seen his targets increase from QB Jameis Winston each of the past three weeks, and even flashed […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 31% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Doyle is proving that he is no one-hit wonder like Right Said Fred. He snagged all the passes thrown to him by Andrew Luck this past Sunday and accounted for 62 yards. Doyle should continue to be targeted at least five or six […]

Hunter Henry (TE, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues Owned In: 14% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Who knows when Antonio Gates will return? His 36-year-old body has been beaten up more than John Cena’s over the past decade-plus. Henry caught five passes for 76 yards in Gates’ absence this past weekend and should see passes whether Gates returns or not. […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues Owned In: 8% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Austin Seferian-Jenkins might be someone you want to pick up in your TMZ fantasy league after his infamous DUI arrest video that is making the rounds, but his fantasy football value has dried up to zilch now that Tampa Bay has released him. Conversely, Brate’s […]

Zach Miller (TE, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 10-team leagues Owned In: 49% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Being Brian Hoyer’s favorite target is probably equivalent to being the Cleveland Browns’ favorite kicker in terms of fantasy value. That said, Miller had seven receptions for 47 yards over the first two weeks with Jay Cutler primarily as his quarterback, but he had eight […]

Kyle Rudolph (TE, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues Owned In: 50% of Fleaflicker Leauges Analysis: Minnesota’s offense has gone through turmoil and transformations the last several weeks, hasn’t it?  Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater are out, Jerick McKinnon and Sam Bradford are in, and Stefon Diggs is catching everything from footballs to lutefisk thrown his way. The only thing the […]
