The Bills, Lions, Colts, and Raiders all have the week off. Here is a look at the surprise target grabbers from Week 9, and a […]

Risers and Fallers For Week 10 Fantasy Football

Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. The same goes for fantasy football, and managing rosters effectively is key to winning that championship. Throughout the season, players get […]

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In Week 9, Carson Wentz delivered from a yards perspective (364, despite two interceptions) at the Meadowlands against the Giants. Next week, Wentz gets his easiest matchup yet, against the Falcons at home. Atlanta is surrendering a league-worst 289.6 passing yards per […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco had a nice, post-bye effort against Pittsburgh in Week 9, throwing for 241 yards and a score. Perhaps most importantly, his shoulder didn’t seem to be giving him any issues. In Week 10, Flacco should hit it big against the […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith may have missed Week 9 with a concussion, but as of now it looks as though he’ll be ready to go for Week 10. Nick Foles filled in admirably against Jacksonville, but his very Alex Smith-ian 20-for-33 for 187 yards […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Brate’s six targets in Week 9 matched his combined total from their previous two games, and he caught five of them for 43 yards and a late, garbage-time TD. Points are points though, and Brate would be yet another beneficiary should Mike Evans be limited or out […]

C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team league OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: C.J. Fiedorowicz was on a bye and so his ownership dipped a bit, but owners should scoop up the talented Texan as he’s seen at least seven targets in each of his last four games. While Houston’s Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars isn’t particularly […]

Zach Ertz (TE, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I told you last column that Zach Ertz should be picked up, and while some of you probably listened, many probably did not judging by how many leagues he is owned in across the major fantasy websites.  So now is your chance to right your wrong, […]

Richard Rodgers (TE, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Green Bay’s second-best Richard Rodgers has not been a fantasy factor all season, but thanks to Green Bay’s myriad of injuries to running backs and receivers he caught six passes for 64 yards and was targeted 10 times in his last contest.  Rodgers could post […]

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Austin Hooper filled in for veteran Jacob Tamme last Thursday as well as Jay Leno used to fill in for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show.  Hooper had 46 yards and a touchdown reception and will be a solid play this week against Philadelphia’s slumping secondary […]

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Austin Hooper finally failed to haul in a target in his first start of his NFL career, but still caught three of his six looks for 46 yards and a touchdown against the Bucs. Jacob Tamme normally sits above him on the depth chart, but a […]

Lance Kendricks (TE, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Many fantasy owners will see the season-high 12 targets and 90 yards Lance Kendricks racked up when they check the Rams boxscore from this past Sunday and think that he was awesome, but if they did not watch the game they will not realize he could have […]

Lance Kendricks (TE, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lance Kendricks saw a whopping 12 targets in Los Angeles’ Week 9 loss against the Panthers, as the tight end hauled in seven catches for the second straight week. His 90 yards were nice, and a season-high mark, but the day could’ve been so much better had […]

Vance McDonald (TE, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vance McDonald can only do so much when Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert are his quarterbacks.  That terrible twosome has never been known for improving the fantasy values of their pass catchers.  But McDonald is doing the best he can to prosper these days when the erratic Kaepernick […]

Vance McDonald (TE, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The good news is that McDonald has seen six targets in each of San Francisco’s last two games, with the latest yielding a nice 3-84-1 line for fantasy owners. The bad news is that he has only four catches on those 12 targets, and has benefited from […]

Dominique Jones (TE, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If you’re absolutely pressed against the wall for a tight end, then perhaps Mr. Dominique Jones can help you. Jordan Cameron may have to retire thanks to his concussion history, and Dion Sims is also dealing with a concussion ahead of him on the depth chart. Jones caught three-of-four […]

Dominique Jones (TE, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dominique Jones only had a half-dozen career catches coming into last weekend, so his three receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets caught fantasy owners totally by surprise.  With Miami’s top two tight ends concussed, Jones and his bulky 270-pound frame could […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 58% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It took a couple of weeks and a change at offensive coordinator, but Ivory finally became an important part of the offense. Chris Ivory saw a season-high 18 carries which translated into 107 yards. He should have registered a touchdown as well, but it was inexplicably denied […]

DuJuan Harris (RB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Carlos Hyde is once again proving to be injury prone, so it was recent acquisition DuJuan Harris who contributed the most in Week 9 against New Orleans. He did most of his damage in the passing game, racking up 83 yards and a TD in […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As promised, Kenneth Dixon saw a bigger workload after the bye week. The good news: he saw 20 snaps, compared to 30 for Terrance West. The bad news: he only produced 13 yards on nine rushing attempts and zero yards on two receptions. West didn't do much […]

Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: 10 carries for 26 yards won't make you run out and stake a waiver claim for a player, nor should it. The Lions are on bye in Week 10, so Dwayne Washington isn't worth adding just yet anyway. He did surpass Zach Zenner and Justin Forsett […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's a decent chance Lewis suits up this week, although it's the worst possible matchup with Seattle coming to town. PPR owners with fond memories of Lewis' production late last season may want to take a chance on a repeat. Lewis put up 83 fantasy points in […]

Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Week 11 is now looking like a realistic return date for Thomas Rawls, although it is still a moving target. Whether he will be the same game-changing back he was last year upon return is a matter of question. Rawls started seven games in the […]

Peyton Barber (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-team leagues until Doug Martin returns OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At the moment, Peyton Barber might literally be the only healthy body in the Tampa Bay backfield. Doug Martin's return from a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 remains a mystery. Jacquizz Rodgers is trying to recover from a sprained foot. […]

James Starks (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After experimenting with receivers and practice squad players at the RB position, it's possible the Packers get James Starks back in Week 10. He has never been much of a rushing threat, averaging 33.8 yards per game on the ground for his career. He will catch […]

Ronnie Hillman (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ronnie Hillman has now joined the RBBC developing in Minnesota, which has been largely ineffective this season. He ran for 30 yards in seven attempts against the Lions and turned in a 32-yard reception. None of the running backs in Minnesota have been able to replace […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember, Rob Kelley just totaled 87 rushing yards on 21 carries in Week 8 before Washington hit their bye. The obvious issue entering Week 10 is Matt Jones’ health and where he fits in when he’s healthy. Head coach Jay Gruden said that Jones could “come back in […]
