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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Even after a so-so outing against the Jets in Week 14, Colin Kaepernick is the most appealing streamer this week against the NFL’s worst pass defense. The Falcons continue to be a defense to target in 2016, and for good reason. The […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brate’s 47 yards were actually Tampa Bay’s highest receiving total in Week 14, as the Bucs ground out a slugfest en route to a 16-11 victory over the Saints. While it was disappointing in a fantasy vacuum, the gameflow just destroyed Tampa Bay’s offensive fantasy value all […]

Ladarius Green (TE, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: One might look at Green’s paltry 2-25-0 line and think that he plummeted back down to Earth after last week’s beautiful 6-110-1 contribution, but the fact is that Pittsburgh didn’t really have to do much else to win than hand it off to LeVeon Bell in Week […]

Dennis Pitta (TE, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There are a lot of people interested to see how Pitta will follow up his 90-yard, two-touchdown renaissance party in Week 13, myself included. Monday night will be quite the test for Pitta’s viability during the fantasy playoffs, as New England’s defense ranks out at […]

Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Matt Forte going in for an MRI on his knee, Powell is the clear pickup in New York. He absolutely destroyed the weak 49ers defense in Week 14, racking up 145 rushing yards and two TDs on 29 totes. He also caught all five of his […]

Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues as a Melvin Gordon handcuff/replacement OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Ronnie Hillman inactive, it was Farrow who shouldered the rushing load (16 carries for 55 yards, six catches for 23 yards) after Melvin Gordon went down with a hip injury. Initial reports are that Gordon should be fine, but he’ll undergo […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If there were ever a game where Baltimore might need their versatile pass-catching back early and often, it would be Week 14 against the powerful Patriots. Last week Dixon rushed the ball 13 times for a middling 49 yards, but did tack on 31 receiving yards […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Charles Sims looked good in his return to action against the Saints in Week 14, as he rushed the ball four times for 17 yards with three catches for 33 yards. He out-touched Jacquizz Rodgers seven to two and should have some RB3 PPR […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jerick McKinnon had an awful game on the ground, rushing for only 31 yards on 14 carries for a shoddy 2.2 YPC, but redeemed himself in PPR formats with six catches for 38 additional yards. His skill set should come into play against an oft-burned Colts defense that […]

James White (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White was in on 29 snaps in Week 13, compared to 20 for Dion Lewis (48% Owned). LeGarrette Blount had 36. It would appear that Bill Belichick is more than content to let White continue working in with Lewis, and making steady contributions […]

Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Forte exited after just three carries with an apparent knee injury, giving Powell the chance to face the 49ers' leaky run defense. He did as expected, carrying 29 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-winning score in overtime. He won't get San Fran […]

Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues as a Melvin Gordon handcuff/replacement OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Melvin Gordon being carted off the field undoubtedly caused many fantasy owners to pull their hair out in this important week. He will get an MRI on his hip Monday to determine his status, but for now is uncertain for Week 15. Kenneth […]

Justin Forsett (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The numbers weren't pretty in his Denver debut, but the one that should be noted is snap share. Forsett carried the ball six time for 17 yards, including a fumble, but he was on the field just as much as Devontae Booker. Forsett took 26 […]

Jermaine Gresham (TE, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I never would have guessed that Gresham would have a fantasy impact again after spending 2015 in fantasy Alaska. His 18 receptions for 223 yards and one touchdown were all career-lows and he looked like a shell of his former self. There is no way he was […]

Daniel Brown (TE, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chicago’s new starting tight end is starting to have an effect on the fantasy football world. There were not many fantasy experts who thought Chicago’s former backup tight end would do much after Zach Miller and Jay Cutler suffered season-ending injuries. Brown was an undrafted second-year player […]

Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Every week I say Clay is a waiver wire nominee to consider, and every time I do that he makes me look dumber than the Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. But this time I am gambling and going all-in on Clay, because I believe this could be […]
