Dexter McCluster (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dexter McCluster is not seeing his role increase in San Diego as expected, but if Melvin Gordon can’t hold onto the ball, that may change. McCluster carried the ball once and caught two passes in a choice matchup against New Orleans. Keep him […]

Zach Zenner (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When Dwayne Washington exited the game, Zach Zenner got the first three carries of the season and his NFL career. If Washington plays, Zenner has no value, but if Washington is inactive for Week 5, Zenner could see a goal-line role. Check out […]

Fozzy Whittaker (RB, CAR) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Fozzy Whittaker is getting little run in the backfield, but as a pass-catcher he is providing solid PPR value. Nine catches for 86 yards resulted in a fair point total for owners who flexed him on Sunday. Jonathan Stewart may return next week, […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker didn't do anything special this week, logging 30 yards on seven carries. What's encouraging, though, is how efficient Denver's offense has been, regardless of who is at quarterback. C.J. Anderson has been a beast, with Booker the clear No. 2 behind […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Now that the perpetually-injured Sammy Watkins is officially not returning for a couple months, Tyrod Taylor has to throw to somebody, and it will not always be to his subpar-at-best wide receivers.  Robert Woods’ 9.4 yards per catch is downright pathetic, and supposed […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues until Antonio Gates returns OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Antonio Gates can take his time getting healthy, and if Hunter Henry keeps doing what he has been doing in his absence, Gates might as well just retire. Henry followed his 72-yard outing in Week 3 by catching four passes […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The wait for Brate to be great was not too late. Rhyming aside, Brate has proved that Austin Seferian-Jenkins was expendable for the Bucs.  He followed his two-TD breakout performance from the week prior with a solid five receptions for 67 yards this past Sunday.  […]

Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer has certainly made one WR look very good in this offense, and unfortunately for many that receiver isn’t Alshon Jeffery. Eddie Royal had a dominant showing in Week 4, catching all seven of his targets for 111 yards and a TD in the […]

Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The return of Markus Wheaton was thought to bring the end of Sammie Coates in this Steelers offense. However, even with his return Coates is still finding a way to make an impact in this offense alongside Antonio Brown. Last week Coates secured 6-of-8 targets […]

Anquan Boldin (WR, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Marvin Jones dominating and Golden Tate slipping, Anquan Boldin is carving himself a spot as the WR2 to own in Detroit. Tate was benched during the game on Sunday after running the wrong route, leading to a costly interception. Tate played on only […]

Chris Hogan (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Hogan was brought in this offseason to help bolster a WR corps in need of another weapon. So far Hogan has been a disappointment, capped off by his zero catch performance against his former team, the Bills, last week. However, there are some […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When a QB is making their third appearance in the first five weeks of the season on this list, you’d think they’re no longer a streamer and more of a long-term hold. Owned in only 49% of leagues, however, Joe Flacco is once […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 67% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor is one of those guys who no one truly knows what to expect from, but at the very least, is solid more often than not. That’s been the case in 2016 as well, where he’s put up point totals of 5.54, 31.38, […]

Terrance West (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Running back Terrance West had himself a very nice day on Sunday even though the Baltimore Ravens fell to the Oakland Raiders on a close game all the way to the end. West was given the starting nod as former starting running back Justin Forsett was benched for […]

Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It was kind of surprising to look at the stat sheet and see Eddie Royal leading the Chicago Bears in receiving on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. With Alshon Jeffery clearly nursing his lower body injuries, it wasn't really expected that the journey-man wide receiver would take […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues OWNED IN: Less than 1% Fleaflicker. ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman had the day of his career on Sunday as the San Diego Chargers squandered away yet another fourth quarter lead. He caught seven balls for 120 yards and one touchdown on a team leading 11 targets. However, do not let this one big […]
