Adam Conley (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Conley has been one of the biggest surprises so far in the 2016 season. The 25-year-old owns a 3.06 ERA with 34 K in 32.1 IP, and has dominated in each of his last two starts. Over those two outings, he has allowed no […]

Brad Miller (SS/OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brad Miller got off to a terrible start early in April, but he's really turned things around in the last two weeks. Over his last 15 games, Miller has hit .361 with three homers, and he should start scoring more runs […]

Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Marcell Ozuna was a popular target in fantasy drafts last year after hitting 23 homers in 2014. His numbers plummeted across the board, however, and he earned a demotion to the minors. While he performed better upon returning to the majors, […]

Ketel Marte (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: After going 4-for-5 with his first homer of the year on Monday, Marte is hitting .297/.323/.398. Over the last two weeks, he's running a .920 OPS, helping to offset his stumble out of the gate. The 22 year old isn't a […]

Carlos Santana (1B, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Santana lost a decent chunk of his fantasy value after the Indians moved him out from behind the plate. His power numbers were excellent for a catcher, but are merely decent for a first baseman. His inability to hit for […]

Kevin Gausman (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Over the past two seasons, Kevin Gausman has flashed the potential that led the Orioles to select him with the fourth pick in the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft. He has yet to put it all together or log more than 115 innings […]

Jose Ramirez (2B/SS/3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jose Ramirez, the Indians' nine-hitter, has been playing left field and third base, and he should occasionally spell Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor in the middle infield slots. He's been hot to begin the season, hitting .310 with 12 RBI, and […]

Derek Dietrich (2B/3B/OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Dee Gordon suspended, Derek Dietrich has been handed the starting job at second base. So far, he’s running with it, hitting .323/.408/.597. Dietrich hit 10 homers in 289 plate appearances last season, so the pop is real. The average is probably headed down, […]

Brandon Moss (1B/OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon Moss’s plate discipline metrics and batting average continue to trend in the wrong direction, but at least he’s hitting for power again. The bulk of his at-bats have come in the Cards’ cleanup spot, which has helped him pile up […]

Martin Prado (2B/3B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Martin Prado isn’t going to hit .400 all season. We all know better than that. But he is a career .293 hitter and routinely one of the most difficult hitters in baseball to strike out. Reliable sources of batting average are […]

Jonathan Villar (SS/3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jonathan Villar has more stolen bases this season than anyone not named Jose Altuve, and most of them have come in the past two weeks. He’s holding his own at the plate despite a lack of power. With Domingo Santana battling […]

Byung Ho Park (1B/DH, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember when everyone was freaking out over how much Byung Ho Park was whiffing? Well, now his strikeout rate is…not great, certainly, but tenable. As a result, he’s raised his OPS to a cool .907. That’s fifth among all first basemen. […]

Overrated/Underrated Week 6: Time To Sell These Studs?
A huge part of succeeding in fantasy baseball is being able to spot market inefficiencies and knowing how to exploit them.

Steven Souza Jr (OF/TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add In All Leagues Owned In: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Steven Souza Jr is a difficult player to analyze in a straightforward manner. His strikeouts rates were quite high last year, but this year the number has spiked even higher. Combined with a lower BB%, it would seem like he would be […]

Drew Pomeranz (SD, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I doubt many people expected much from Drew Pomeranz entering the season, but he's been found money so far. Pomeranz is rocking a 2.12 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 41K in 34 IP. No that's not a typo. The former first-rounder is really […]

Jayson Werth (WAS, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Jayson Werth got off to a miserable start this season.

Joe Panik (2B/SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add In All Leagues Owned In: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Now a three-year veteran, Joe Panik’s game remains primarily headlined by his defense, but his efforts on offense have been solid as well. Slashing .265/.327/.451, he appears to be headed towards a career year. Playing in less than one-third of his total games […]

Daily Fantasy Golf DraftKings Picks (PGA DFS): THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
James Hahn defeated Roberto Castro in a playoff to capture the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow. Castro hit one of the most unlikely shots in the playoff; hitting the ball off a man's head and then landing in a shoe. Hahn was awful at this course in recent year's, but managed to win. It shows how unpredictable a […]
