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

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lewis practiced with the Patriots this week after being activated from the PUP list. He should be activated within the next three weeks and take over the pass-catching role from James White. Lewis caught 36 passes for 388 yards in just seven games last year and ran […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 66% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pete Carroll said that Thomas Rawls is still a couple of weeks away from game action. That could mean a return as early as Week 10. That is the optimistic timeline, however, as Rawls could also be shelved until early December if he doesn't recover […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues for owners of Lamar Miller OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A lingering shoulder injury for Lamar Miller has led to higher usage for Alfred Blue. In Week 8, Blue had nine rushing attempts for 41 yards. In an extended audition to be the starter in place of Arian Foster last […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the starter gets hurt, the backup to the backup suddenly has value. Kapri Bibbs only took eight snaps against San Diego, but he is now the handcuff to last week's hottest waiver add, Devontae Booker. At 5'9", 212 lbs, the undrafted free agent out of […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When the Jags signed Ivory to a huge contract this offseason, you would think it would lead to more than four carries in a prime time Thursday night game against a division rival. Ivory has been a victim of a bad offensive line and […]

RotoBaller NBA Roundup for Monday, October 31

Sunday night didn't produce many surprises. Golden State and San Antonio won, Russell Westbrook had another monster line, Andre Drummond rebounded a lot, Gregg Popovich rested another of his players, James Harden was fouled at the buzzer. There were, however, some surprisingly low point games, some exciting late game action, and some nice lines from the […]

By the time Brian Hill (a borderline […]

Rotoballer NBA Roundup for Sunday, October 30th

Saturday saw 18 teams going at it. A full slate of NBA action on the Saturday before Halloween was scary good. (I'm proud of that). After some crazy performances to start the season (50 point triple doubles for example) last night's action was a little more subdued. With no major injuries or crazy breakout performances […]

Fantasy Mad Libs: Starters and Sitters For Week 8

I'm infamously bad at Halloween. No, I guess that's not right; I'm bad at fantasy football despite how much effort I put into it. I'm... uninterested in Halloween. Don't get me wrong, it has all of my favorite things (alcohol and bad food.) I've mostly stayed away from dressing up too ridiculously, in a holiday […]
