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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Clay’s last two weeks cannot be ignored, but the stats don’t appear to be very bankable moving forward. His long TD in Week 14 came on a broken coverage where he was left unmarked, and this most recent 7-72-1 line came against Cleveland. The Browns entered […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dixon’s workload took a step back in Week 15 against the Eagles, as the Ravens didn’t find themselves needing to catch up to a potent offense as they did in Week 14 against the Patriots. Still, Dixon took a nice halfback sweep off of a fake […]

Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Henry's touches aren't increasing very much, but he is making the most of the time he spends on the field. Henry scored twice against the Chiefs, much to the chagrin of DeMarco Murray owners. He only had nine rush attempts in the game, but came away with […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It took some time, but Dion Lewis has finally worked his way into the lead role for New England. He toted the rock 18 times for 95 yards against Denver, outrushing LeGarrette Blount. James White remains involved in passing situations, catching three passes […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Brate turned in a strong TE1 effort against Dallas, catching five of his eight targets for 73 yards and a big-man touchdown in Week 15. Dallas had shown a weakness against the tight end entering this game, but it’s still encouraging to see him produce. While Jameis […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most active leagues won't see Dixon available on the waiver wire, but he still comes in under 50% ownership as we close out Week 15. Dixon unofficially assumed RB1 duties for the Ravens in MNF against the Pats last week. Terrance West outcarried Dixon this week 13-9, […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green didn’t score a touchdown in Week 15, but still returned to form with a 5-72-0 line on eight looks against the Bengals. It wasn’t fantastic, but it was a much-needed effort after the 2-25-0 flop from Week 14. Luckily, he and the Steelers will […]

Ty Montgomery (RB/WR, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Montgomery was given the start at running back in the frigid cold against the Bears, and averaged over 10 yards per carry for 162 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries, with two catches for one yard. The passing line isn’t fantastic, but he truly dazzled as […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Hightower didn’t gain a lot of yardage against Arizona (48 total) but tallied two rushing scores to entrench himself as an RB1 in Week 15. He wasn’t great compared to Mark Ingram (and trust me, Ingram let his coaches know this on the sideline in a tantrum), […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, if you’re going to be dependent on scoring touchdowns then at least be damn good at it. Henry has now hauled in a TD in three of San Diego’s four games since their bye, and four of his last five games since returning from injury. While he […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues if Melvin Gordon remains injured OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Farrow flopped in relief of the injured Melvin Gordon to the tune of 15 carries for 39 yards and two catches for 14 yards alongside a fumble lost. Yuck. It’s pretty clear that Farrow isn’t ready to be a viable starter in this […]

Jared Cook (TE, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jared Cook caught 77 of his 85 yards in the first half against the Bears before Chicago remembered they were playing a football game, but we were still reminded of Cook’s potential here in Green Bay’s resurgent offense. With a gritty divisional game against Minnesota on deck for […]

Ryan Griffin (TE, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues if C.J. Fiedorowicz remains out OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With C.J. Fiedorowicz out with a concussion, Griffin saw eight targets against Jacksonville in Week 15. He caught all eight of them for 85 yards, though most of them came after Brock Osweiler was benched for Tom Savage. What a world […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lewis finally had a big game, as he eclipsed 100 total yards against the Broncos with the Pats utilizing his agility against a horrible rush defense. He should be employed in a similar fashion against a Jets defense that is strong against north-south […]

New York Yankees Top MLB Prospects for 2017 Dynasty Leagues

The Yankees must love every part of their transactions involving Aroldis Chapman over the past year. They picked him up for practically nothing from the Reds, giving up only Rookie Davis, Caleb Cotham, Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda (of which, only Rookie Davis has a case to be a Top 10 prospect for the Reds). They […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/19/16): NBA DFS Advice

We have a small five game slate for the NBA tonight to start off the week. There aren't a ton of options out there tonight, but some solid options and looks to be better cash options rather than GPP plays. But, I'll give you a spotlight of some players that are in good spots to […]

Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks for FanDuel (12/19/16) - DFS Basketball Advice

Only five games on the slate make for some very limited options.

Russell Westbrook is the only overly expensive player and playing […]

NBA Waiver Wire Bigs (PF, C, PF/C) for Week 9

New York Giants (DEF, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If the Giants are somehow still out there, you should look into scooping their 2007-like selves with a date against Carson Wentz and the low-flying Eagles in Week 16. Opponents have only topped 16 points against them in one of their last […]

San Diego Chargers (DEF, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Chargers have lost their last three games, but their defense hasn’t exactly folded on itself in the process. Even against a powerful Oakland offense in Week 15, they only allowed 19 points alongside two sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery. […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For Week 16, Colin Kaepernick sits at the top of a very thin pile of quarterback streaming options. After two down weeks, he returned to the fantasy-producing streamer we’ve become accustomed to seeing in Week 15 at Atlanta. The 49ers travel to […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had an on-and-off 2016, looking great in some instances and mediocre in others. Whether you're a believer or not, he sits near the top of a thin streamer pile for Week 16. In standard leagues, he scored 29.24 points […]

Matt Barkley (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Barkley hasn’t been incredible, but he’s been a solid fantasy asset ever since he took over for Jay Cutler back in Week 12. He threw for a whopping 362 yards on 30-for-43 passing, connecting for two touchdowns to mitigate the three […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/19/16)

For the NBA, Kentucky coach John Calipari is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving, year-round, from the NBA draft on through the finals. You can certainly argue the ethics of the NBA using our nation's colleges as its feeder system, but you can't argue that Coach Cal isn't among the best in the business […]
