Overvalued Wide Receivers for 2016 Fantasy Football Drafts

Each and every season, there is hype surrounding some wide receivers that may not deserve it. It could be because of their name (Larry Fitzgerald) or because of what they did last year (Doug Baldwin). Regardless, there are a group of player that are being highly overvalued and have a ring of caution wrapped around them […]

Andrew Triggs (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Andrew Triggs’ season-long 4.31 ERA might be a turn-off, but consider his 3.20 FIP, 3.30 xFIP and 3.29 SIERA underneath it all. Then there’s the fact that over the last 30 days, he owns a 2.92 ERA and 0.77 […]

Mike Foltynewicz (SP, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mike Foltynewicz is now 4-0 over his last six starts, over which he’s posted a 3.72 ERA and solid 1.16 WHIP with 30 strikeouts. Owners can’t necessarily rely on Atlanta’s offense to score runs, nor its bullpen to hold […]

Alex Reyes (SP/RP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Reyes was much sharper in his second Major League start, in which he handled the Reds in Cincinnati with six strong innings of two-run ball. He also struck out seven and only issued two free passes, which is extremely encouraging after […]

Defense Draft Targets and D/ST Sleepers for 2016

One of the most important parts of your draft is setting yourself up for success from the start, and making sure you have the best lineup Week 1. One of the most forgotten parts about securing a good lineup is to draft or pick up a defense that will score you points week in and […]

Vance McDonald (TE, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vance McDonald could have a sneaky-high ceiling should he beat out Garrett Celek for the 49ers’ starting TE spot. He has decent chemistry with QB Blaine Gabbert, and with safety valve slot-man Bruce Ellington out for the season, McDonald could be the […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While it’s certainly worth mentioning that Brandon LaFell (5% Owned) is slated to open the season as the Bengals’ No. 2 receiver, he hasn’t really yielded a worthy ceiling in a long time. Rookie Tyler Boyd looks to operate as the slot […]

Ted Ginn (WR, CAR) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ted Ginn’s 739 yards and 10 touchdowns (including three of 40+ yards) don’t come easy. He’s an absolute burner with questionable hands (44 receptions on 96 targets). While he can turn in games with zero catches, that crazy stretch of three straight […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Broncos cut Ronnie Hillman, who became expendable when they selected Devontae Booker in the fourth round of this year's draft. While C.J. Anderson looked fantastic down the stretch last season, he’s never shown that he can hold up through all 16 […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Theo Riddick’s lukewarm ownership level is probably due to a lack of PPR leagues, but it’s still worth mentioning here in case his 80 catches — which were tied with Danny Woodhead for best among running backs in the NFL — are […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill appears to be embracing this new offensive regime, spearheaded by the high-volume attack of Adam Gase. He had a lot of red tape limiting his play-calling duties last season, including not being allowed to call audibles. Now he has the […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/5/16)

The NCAA’s television partners trumpeted the week that was as the “greatest” opening weekend in the history of college football. In fact, the slate of games lived up to this over-hype, but not for the reasons originally intended. While pundits and pigskin propagandists waxed on (and on) about match-ups between the “Power Five” elites, programs […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust, Again

2014 was a banner year for rookie receivers. 2015 was a bummer year for rookie receivers. Only Oakland’s Amari Cooper had 1,000 receiving yards, and no other wideout topped the 900-yard mark. So there is no shortage of candidates for the award of "Sophomore Receiver Ready to Bust for the Second Straight Year".  Here are three […]

Five Wide Receivers Who Could Return to Top Tier Status in 2016

With the changing landscape in fantasy football, locking up two or three star wide receivers is becoming a requirement at draft time.

Win Your Fantasy Football League in 100 minutes or Less - The Perfect Strategy for the Busy Guy (or Girl)

I love fantasy football, and it's that emotional connection which as led to me frequently telling family, friends, and anyone who will listen that I play and so should they. When I started playing fantasy in 2001, it was smaller. Only a handful of websites had fantasy leagues available, and those same websites had a monopoly on fantasy advice […]

Breshad Perriman - Potential Sleeper in 2016

Earlier in August, the Baltimore Ravens finally received some good news regarding their young, and prospectively impactful, wide receiver. Breshad Perriman was activated off of the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list after partially tearing the ACL in his left knee in early June, according to coach John Harbaugh and CBS Sports. But for the fantasy […]

Three Quarterbacks Who Are Being Overvalued in 2016

Quarterbacks are always an interesting position every year for fantasy purposes. Some owners love using a selection on the top QBs in the third round (sometimes, even the second), essentially locking up the spot and never looking back. Others tend to use all of their high picks on other positions, believing they can secure great […]
