Week 8 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

Week 7 makes for another solid week in the books. While Matt Ryan wasn’t really part of Atlanta’s festivities, the process was sound as Atlanta still scored 30+ points. Andy Dalton held his own even with Jeremy Hill stealing the spotlight, and we were right to be bearish on Russell Wilson, Jordan Howard and Brandon […]

Fantasy Football Buy Low & Sell High Candidates for Week 8

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 […]

Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 8

Hey folks, first and foremost, apologies for missing last week's Warning Signals. But I'm back, so let's preview what lies ahead of Week Eight. The most notable aspect of not having a piece in week seven is that we're looking at busier piece than the norm this time around, specifically in the "Updates From Last Week" section. Other than that, […]

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 to win that championship. Throughout the season, players get hot and […]

Three NBA Teams to Watch on the Week One Waiver Wire

Imagine this scenario: your draft ended, you feel really good about the guys you managed to grab, then you look at your roster and reality hits. Your team may be solid but three or four of your guys are hurt and, worst of all, there's no clear timeline for when they'll be returning. If you're […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Weekend H2H Defensive Category Streamers (Week 1)

It's never too early to start streaming.  Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own.  You're better off using […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Weekend H2H Offensive Category Streamers (Week 1)

It's never too early to start streaming. Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own. You're better off using […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (10/26/16): NBA DFS Advice

The first week is always the toughest. All we can do is base our analysis off of last year's statistics, matchups, rankings, cross our fingers, and hope for the best. Although, there's nothing wrong with seeking some else to get going. That's what we are here for. In this article, I will be providing you […]

Russell Shepard (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Russell Shepard really stepped up to the plate with Vincent Jackson going down, catching five of his six targets for 77 yards and a touchdown against San Francisco’s bottom-half defense. Tampa Bay has another great matchup on deck in Week 8 against […]

Chester Rogers (WR, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chester Rogers was rolled out as Indianapolis’ No. 2 receiver in Week 7 against the Titans, but still only saw three targets. The role is there, but the two catches for 30 yards is less than enticing as the Colts head into […]

J.J. Nelson (WR, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Outside of Larry Fitzgerald, the Arizona receiving corps really doesn’t have another bankable commodity right now. Michael Floyd is playing with his head in the clouds, John Brown is dealing with a sickle-cell related hamstring injury and Jaron Brown is out for […]

Kenny Stills (WR, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenny Stills averages fewer than five targets a week and barely over two catches, but three of his seven games have resulted in a nice long touchdown for his owners. This was no more apparent than in Week 7, when he hauled […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon LaFell has now scored four touchdowns in his last three games, with the 83 yards in Week 7 being his highest total since Week 1 (91). The bad news is that Tyler Eifert will only be another week healthier in Week […]

Justin Hunter (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Sammy Watkins out for several weeks and Robert Woods hobbled, Justin Hunter has moved into a bigger role for the Bills. He was underwhelming in fantasy this week, catching only two passes for 25 yards, but he played a season-high 93% […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cordarrelle Patterson caught all seven of his targets for 67 yards, including 14-yard, garbage-time touchdown. It is still nice to see him being targeted in the red zone, even if it was late in a meaningless game. Patterson now has at least […]

Marqise Lee (WR, JAC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee has been slowly but surely carving a role out in this Jaguars offense, and finally broke through this week. He caught 7-of-8 targets for 107 yards — all season-highs — as the Jags tried to get back within striking distance […]
