Davante Adams (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Davante Adams had a very disappointing season last year after being very highly coveted leading up to the draft in 2015. Last year, Adams was drafted somewhere between the second and fourth rounds. After battling some injuries and just overall poor play, Davante proved […]

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The Vikings lost Bridgewater, got desperate, snagged Sam Bradford, and suddenly Carson Wentz found himself off to a promising start to his NFL career. The New York Giants and the Washington Redskins last year allowed the 3rd and 10th most Fantasy […]

Tajae Sharpe (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned in: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Despite a combined 2,600 yards and 12 TDs in his final two seasons at UMass, Tajae Sharpe slipped to the 5th round of the 2016 NFL Draft and rewarded the Titans for their faith in Week One. Against the Vikings, Sharpe led […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned in: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: What started out as a purely PPR play has evolved into something much more destructive. Theo Riddick finished the game against the Colts with 45 rushing yards, 63 receiving yards, a rushing TD, and a receiving TD. He received the second highest […]

Will Fuller (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned in: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: It didn't take long for former Notre Dame star Will Fuller to make a huge impact alongside DeAndre Hopkins in the Houston receiving core. Brock Osweiler threw the ball 35 times and had 22 completions for 231 yards and two TDs on […]

Risers and Fallers for Week 2 Fantasy Football

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. Experienced fantasy players know it happens every year. A player gets hot and sees an increased role, while others struggle and […]

Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield

In the playoffs, every category counts. You could be dominating the major columns like batting average and ERA, but have your success undermined by saves and stolen bases. Remember, if your teams hits 30 more home runs than your opponent, it's just as valuable as winning the stolen bases category by a margin of 2-to-1. […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-14 team leagues. OWNED IN: 2.5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Cincinnati Bengals air attack was in full force against the New York Jets in Week 1. Quarterback Andy Dalton through for 366 yards and 1 touchdown. About half of those yards belong to A.J. Green, who was setting up his own beach chair out on […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team PPR leagues. OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dallas Cowboys rolled onto the field in Week 1 against the New York Giants with multiple starting rookies in very important positions. One of which includes rookie quarterback Dak Prescott. While Prescott impressed with some of his decision making, his numbers in the end did […]

Jacksonville Jaguars (DEF, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Jags defense is much-improved on paper, but they had a tough draw in Week 1 against the Packers. The Keenan Allen-less Chargers are not so intimidating. Philip Rivers looked sub-par as soon as Allen went down, and the Jags should merit streaming in deep leagues.   […]

Detroit Lions (DEF, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Lions, like the Raiders, got torn up by a hot offense in Week 1. The Titans are NOT a hot offense. I like them as a deep league streamer against a young Titans offense that is still getting things together. If they can keep DeMarco […]

Minnesota Vikings (DEF, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 83% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Minnesota was the pleasant defensive surprise in Week 1, as they sprang a pick-six and a fumble recovery TD off Marcus Mariota. They won't be so lucky in their matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 2 but I still think there is some […]

Oakland Raiders (DEF, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alright, so the Raiders defense didn't too groovy against the Saints last week. I'm chalking that up to Drew Brees being on another level. In Week 2 they get the Falcons, and this one smells like a whole bunch of Khalil Mack making Matt Ryan's […]

Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Steelers defense did a good job shutting down the Redskins offense on Monday night, and now they have a matchup against the Bengals, who allowed seven sacks to the Jets in Week 1. Ryan Shazier is healthy and looks like an impact player, and […]

New England Patriots (DEF, NWE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Own in All Leagues OWNED IN: 89% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dolphins offense line looked somewhat better than it was last year, but that's not a high bar. The Patriots are still without Rob Ninkovich, but they've got enough weapons to shut down Ryan Tannehill and Jarvis Landry. Arian Foster has a similar skill set to David […]

Arizona Cardinals (DEF, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Own in All Leagues OWNED IN: 97% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Cardinals have a top-of-the-line secondary, and with Chandler Jones now disrupting offenses up front, they should finish the year in the top five again. However, in Week 2 they're tasked with stopping a very competent Jameis Winston-led Tampa Bay offense. I like this D/ST as a […]

New York Jets (DEF, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 62% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Jets decimated the Bengals offensive line to the tune of seven sacks in Week 1. The Bills present even less of a challenge, particularly if Sammy Watkins is limited by resurgent foot pain. Thursday night games are usually schlockfests, and this one is shaping […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues Owned In: 84% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: By averaging only 6.6 yards per-attempt against the Vikings in Week One, Marcus Mariota did not look the part of a franchise NFL QB. Fortunately for fantasy owners, yards-per-attempt isn’t a statistic that matters from week to week. The stats […]

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

Baller Move: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues Owned In: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Heading into 2016, fantasy owners rightfully had questions about drafting Joe Flacco. After tearing both his ACL and MCL in Week 11 last season, reports had surfaced this summer that Flacco wouldn’t be 100% to start the year. Fortunately, not […]

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Owned In: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Perhaps the most surprising QB performance of Week One was Carson Wentz, who dominated the Browns on a 22-for-37 line with 278 yards and two touchdowns. Oh wait…he was playing the Browns. Nevermind, not surprising. But, impressive nonetheless for a rookie quarterback […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Owned In: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Jay Cutler’s Week One was far from spectacular, but it wasn’t a total mess either on the road against an elite Houston defense. His 16-for-29 effort for 216 yards and one touchdown was likely far better than what fantasy owners were expecting, […]

Matt Ryan (QB, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned In: 83% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Is Matty Ice back? After Week One’s performance, he just might be. In a disappointing home loss to the Bucs, Matt Ryan completed 27 of 39 passes for 334 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He was big letdown to fantasy owners last season, but […]
