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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon saw nearly an equal number of snaps to Terrance West (21 for Dixon, 24 for West). It was West who found the end zone on an 18-yard run, but Dixon averaged almost seven yards per carry (6-40). The Ravens couldn't establish a running game against […]

Jeremy Langford (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jeremy Langford only carried the ball six times for eight yards, but played the vulture role against the Giants by rushing for a one-yard score. Langford certainly doesn't fit the bill as a short-yardage specialist, so don't expect too many touchdowns in the future. This serves more […]

Alex Collins (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Christine Michael was waived, C.J. Prosise is going to be out "a while" and Troymaine Pope exited early against the Eagles as well. For the time being, Alex Collins is the RB2 in Seattle and a Thomas Rawls re-aggravation away from major value. With […]

Ameer Abdullah (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There is speculation that Ameer Abdullah could return in approximately three weeks, which would make Abdullah available just in time for the fantasy playoffs. Of course, that isn't guaranteed and it will remain to be seen if Abdullah sees enough volume initially to be […]

Akeem Hunt (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At the time of this writing, Houston has yet to play their Monday night matchup. Hunt enters the week as a deep sleeper for fantasy purposes that could be a tremendous value if things break right. Lamar Miller has been nursing an ankle injury, […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A lightly used backup for three and a half seasons in Cincy, Burkhead is now the backup to Jeremy Hill. The unexpected loss of Gio Bernard to an ACL injury gives Burkhead some value, although he shouldn't receive too many looks other than the […]

Chris Ivory (RB, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 69% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: T.J. Yeldon left early with an ankle injury, putting Chris Ivory in the pass-catching role for the first time. He responded well with six receptions for 75 yards, salvaging value from a poor rushing performance of 39 yards and a lost fumble. Ivory got a pair […]

Mike Gillislee (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mike Gillislee's back on the radar again with LeSean McCoy suffering another injury in Week 11. This time it's a dislocated thumb, which may not force him to miss any time. Still, it's worth noting that Buffalo is second in the league in rushing, so there […]

Wendell Smallwood (RB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Both Darren Sproles and Ryan Mathews left the game against Seattle, finally giving Wendell Smallwood his opportunity to lead the backfield. Smallwood managed 48 yards on 13 rushes, but keep in mind the Eagles were playing in Seattle and the passing game was non-existent. Next week […]

Wendell Smallwood (RB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is the man who will likely have the most buzz when waivers roll, as both men ahead of him on the depth chart are banged up. Ryan Mathews is down for a few weeks with an MCL sprain, and Darren Sproles was forced […]

Mike Gillislee (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues if LeSean McCoy is out OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You know the drill by now. LeSean McCoy isn’t 100% and that makes Gillislee valuable. McCoy was unable to finish Buffalo’s Week 11 contest against the Bengals thanks to a dislocated thumb, and so Ghillie suit rushed the ball […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dion Lewis was utilized on 10 plays in his first game of 2016 against the 49ers, rushing the ball five times for 23 yards and catching three-of five targets for 26 yards. It was definitely nice to see him back on the field, though it’s […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR and 14-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James White was being left for the dogs by many with the activation of Dion Lewis, but White will not go quietly into the night. White didn’t record a single rush in Week 11 against the 49ers, but caught all six of his […]

Rob Kelley (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I know Rob Kelley’s 50/50 ownership is partly due to inactive leagues, but his ownership still needs to be higher. I’ll break into your leagues if I have to. We touted him before after his nice showing against a strong Minnesota front in Week 10, and then […]
