Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Salt River Rafters

The Salt River Rafters are filled to the brim with batting prospects worth watching. Likewise, they lack any rotation worth noting. They are similar to the Surprise Saguaros in nature without the obvious ace in Michael Kopech. The thing that sticks out the most about the Rafters is that two of the four players to watch […]

Fantasy Football Buy Low & Sell High Candidates for Week 4

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season. The key is to buy low on cold players and sell overachieving players whose values have skyrocketed. While this is a well-known method, some owners still tend to overreact to a small sample size, so […]

Do my eyes deceive me or did we manage to get through week three without another massive boatload of injuries? There were some unfortunate hiccups for sure, most notably that of Jeremy Langford and Thomas Rawls, but overall it looks like players are starting to remain on the field more than they did the first two […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Peoria Javelinas

The Peoria Javelinas might be the team most will sleep on. They lack the prominent big name bats but make up for it with raw athleticism and depth in the pitching staff. Brent Honeywell is the team’s ace, and he is just as good as anyone in the minors. The batters coming into the outfield […]

Wendell Smallwood (RB,PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 team leagues. OWNED IN: 1.5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Philadelphia Eagles are off to a surprising 3-0 start after yesterday's trouncing of a good Pittsburgh Steelers club. A big part of their offense yesterday included rookie running back Wendell Smallwood. With fellow teammate Ryan Mathews nursing a sore ankle, Smallwood took advantage with a […]

Terrelle Pryor (WR,CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10 team leagues. OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It isn't every day you see a stat-sheet like the one we saw Terrelle Pryor have this past Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. He is listed as a wide receiver, but Pryor got his hands dirty in every facet of the Browns offense. He caught eight […]

Washington Redskins (DEF, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Redskins' defense will welcome Cleveland to town in what is a favorable matchup in Week 4. While rookie Cody Kessler played better than expected against the Dolphins last week, Cleveland's offensive line is still a mess and should provide the Redskins […]

Orleans Darkwa (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Shane Vereen out for the season, Orleans Darkwa would be the main beneficiary in the Giants’ backfield should Rashad Jennings’ thumb injury turn out to be a long-term issue. Darkwa rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in […]

DeAndre Washington (RB, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeAndre Washington ripped off 57 yards on only six rushes in Oakland’s Week 3 tilt against Tennessee. He continues to show off big-play potential while trudging through the Raiders’ three-man RB rotation. His value isn’t huge yet, but if Latavius Murray goes […]

Jay Ajayi (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jay Ajayi spent almost the entire game watching from the sideline (seven carries for 28 yards) until he scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime against a vastly under-matched Browns team. The fact Ajayi couldn't earn a start over rookie Kenyan Drake shows […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Asiata remains a nightmare for Jerick McKinnon owners as he lurks in the distance, ready to vulture touchdowns. Neither running back had the chance to score this week, but Asiata saw a decent snap share with 19, compared to 36 for McKinnon. […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Wendell Smallwood came out of nowhere to run for 79 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, having seen just three total carries in the first two games. It's hard to imagine him getting such a big workload each week with Ryan Mathews, […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Darren Sproles hadn't done much in the first two weeks, but he showed he still possesses big-play ability with a 73-yard touchdown catch-and-sprint, making several defenders miss in the process. The Eagles look to be in full-blown RBBC mode, but Sproles remains […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the Bolts signed Dexter McCluster mid-week, it was known he would fill the Danny Woodhead role. This gives him immediate value in PPR leagues, but he may see fewer rush attempts if Melvin Gordon keeps progressing as a primary ball carrier. McCluster […]

Kenyan Drake (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dolphins’ running game has been a mess so far, as the team had just 115 total rushing yards against Cleveland and hasn't had a runner go for more than 38 yards in a game yet. Kenyan Drake's starting status won't last long once […]
