Brandon LaFell (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon LaFell saw nine targets with A.J. Green on the shelf, the same amount as in Week 11. He somehow managed to be less efficient than last week’s four-catch, 32-yard effort, though, as he only caught three balls for 38 yards. Seven […]

Cameron Meredith (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Meredith somehow ended up with the worst line out of all Chicago receivers, as he caught a measly two balls out of nine targets for only 19 yards. He suffered from plenty of drops, but the bigger concern is how he […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenny Stills had another one of his “boom” weeks, catching three-of-six targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 12 victory over the 49ers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With target monster Stefon Diggs sidelined, Adam Thielen saw 11 targets in Minnesota’s Thanksgiving Day loss to the Lions.

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee caught four of his six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown against the Bills in Week 12, and added a two-yard rush just for fun. On a day where Blake Bortles’ arm failed to generate much of anything, Lee […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: J.J. Nelson has angered many of us, I know. The fact remains that he should be the next man up if John Brown (hamstring) misses any time. It wouldn’t be surprising at this point, those hamstrings have been bothering him all season […]

NFL Recap - Week 12 Surprises, Busts & Laughers
