Benny Cunningham (RB, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a handcuff for Todd Gurley OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Does it say more about Todd Gurley or Benny Cunningham that the Rams chose to give Cunningam two looks in a goal-to-go situation from the one yard line while giving Gurley none? Actually it may say more about Jeff Fisher and […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues as a handcuff for Carlos Hyde OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dujuan Harris has shown some burst since stepping onto the scene in Week 7. That wasn't evident by his five carry, 14 yard total in Week 10. Then again, Carlos Hyde also managed 14 yards, but averaged one yard per carry in […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In his first game since being activated from the practice squad, Akeem Hunt racked up 52 yards on eight carries. He provided a nice change of pace to Lamar Miller and could see more carries in the coming weeks as a result. He doesn't figure to […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With rookie receiver Will Fuller battling injuries and dropitis, Fiedorowicz is now looking like Houston’s second-best option in the passing game behind top target DeAndre Hopkins.  And while quarterback Brock Osweiler makes Mark Sanchez look accurate, he connects with Fiedorowicz more successfully than he does […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, well, well! Look who showed up to finally live up to his $20 million contract and remind fantasy owners why he was paid such an exorbitant sum! Green missed Pittsburgh’s opening eight games with an ankle injury that was as mysterious as any Murder She Wrote […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most fantasy owners who picked up Davis when Jordan Reed was concussed probably turned around and dumped Davis as soon as Reed got back on the field.  But if you thought Reed’s reappearance would mean a reduction in fantasy value for Davis, you were more […]

Will Tye (TE, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It seems that New York is using Tye a little more and veteran Larry Donnell a little less these days.  If that is indeed the case, Tye’s matchup against the lowly Chicago Bears this week is intriguing after seeing how their defense allowed Tampa Bay’s […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Don’t look now, but Rodgers has 10 receptions over his last two games after catching just nine passes over his first seven contests.  Aaron Rodgers must be mistaking him for Randall Cobb.  With the Packers slated to play a Washington team that allowed 14 receptions […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vance McDonald was able to squeak out four receptions for 50 yards this past weekend versus the Arizona Cardinals, arguably the best at defending tight ends in 2016.  It would be amazing if he could duplicate that feat this week against New England, another team […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It wasn’t pretty, but Hunter Henry did find the end zone in the third quarter to generate some fantasy value in Week 10. He finished with a 2-11-1 line that screams “#2 TE”, as Antonio Gates saw nine targets and caught four of them for 63 […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Brate has seen a steady rise in targets and production over the last three weeks, with Week 10’s 7-84-1 line yielding his highest reception and yardage totals of the season. Jameis Winston needed someone else to throw to with the Bears tilting coverage heavily towards […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green finally made it back to the field, and while his three catches for 30 yards isn’t anything special, we knew he’d be limited and that’s pretty darn good for only playing 12 snaps. He was also targeted on an end-zone fade route, but it wasn’t […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: C.J. Fiedorowicz was covered pretty well all game by Jacksonville, catching three of his five targets for a mere 26 yards for his worst game since bursting onto the scene in Week 4. Luckily, this little dip in production should be short-lived considering he now […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vernon Davis continues to make the most of his sporadic targets, as he’s now caught 26-of-29 balls thrown his way this season. He turned his three Week 10 targets into 66 yards and a touchdown, which should illustrate the issue here. Relying on three targets […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Old Vance McDonald has now garnered six targets in each of his last three games, but the bad news is that he’s only managed to catch eight of them. At least he caught four of his six targets for 50 yards in Week 10’s loss […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m going to take a stab at Jeremy Langford's ownership percentage and say that the bulk of it comes from teams/leagues that haven’t been touched since the early going. Langford has been a non-factor in fantasy leagues (and in the NFL) for several weeks now, so definitely […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rob Kelley ran well in Washington’s Week 10 victory over a strong Vikings defense, as he surpassed four yards per carry with 97 yards on 22 totes. He also had a catch for -2 yards, but obviously that’s not doing anything for you outside […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tim Hightower is still the “B-side” of the RB committee here with the starter Mark Ingram, with the latter out-touching Hightower 13-to-10 in Week 10’s strange loss to Denver. Hightower only got 55 total yards, with 34 of them coming on two receptions. Unfortunately for […]

C.J. Prosise (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: C.J. Prosise showed off his receiving skills in Seattle’s battle against the Patriots on Sunday night in Week 10, as he caught all seven of his targets for 87 yards while also rushing the ball 17 times for another 66 yards. Tallying 153 total […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: See? I told you that James Starks was the add here. I know he’s not a game-breaker, but Mike McCarthy is desperate and has no qualms with leaning on a traditional running back here in Starks. James was only given 10 touches, as he […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon didn’t look great, but boy howdy did Terrance West look bad. Even against the Cleveland Browns, West could only muster a 3.1 YPC against them while Dixon managed to rustle up 80 yards on 11 touches. This writer doubts that Dixon ever […]

Alfred Morris (RB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Ezekiel Elliott OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another week, another buzzy report that Ezekiel Elliott is basically in the crosshairs of the NFL. Alfred Morris is unplayable for as long as Elliott is active, but if this whole domestic violence case ever amounts to any […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Devontae Booker OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker out-touched Kapri Bibbs 26-to-7, and that was in a glorious matchup against the Saints in the dome. Don’t expect anything more out of Bibbs other than his being a handcuff at this point. Denver’s offense just […]

Damien Williams (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Jay Ajayi OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Damien Williams is Jay Ajayi’s handcuff and he hilariously scored two touchdowns on only three touches in Week 10. That sort of hyper-efficiency cannot be relied on in any way of course, but the alarm bells went off briefly […]

Ka'Deem Carey (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Jordan Howard OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ka'Deem Carey’s momentum from Weeks 6 and 7 has been absolutely demolished lately, but if Jordan Howard misses time then Carey will likely see an uptick in snaps and get some decent work alongside Jeremy Langford. It wouldn’t […]

Fitzgerald Toussaint (RB, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a handcuff for LeVeon Bell OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With DeAngelo Williams healing from his knee surgery, Fitzgerald Toussaint is now the next man up for Pittsburgh should something happen to LeVeon Bell. While we’re not touting Toussaint as a big talent, the opportunity in Pittsburgh’s high-octane offense is worth […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a handcuff for Melvin Gordon OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another handcuff reminder, as Kenneth Farrow is the only man left standing behind Melvin Gordon now that Dexter McCluster is done. Farrow is a UDFA out of Houston who won the MVP Award at the 2015 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, […]

Below are my Week 11 waiver wire pickups and sleepers (depending on league size) to consider adding for your fantasy teams.
