Richard Rodgers Answering Prayers at TE?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Does the hail mary force Rodgers (the QB) to feed Rodgers (the TE)? We really don't know.

Bilal Powell Powers His Way to PPR Relevance

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 22% owned ANALYSIS: Powell's another player that's just not that talented and getting the most out of poor defensive play.

Dorial Green-Beckham Could Build off His Breakout Game

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham finally broke out in a big way this past weekend, piling up 119 yards and a touchdown on five catches against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin was the popular waiver wire pickup this week, coming on the heels of a 145-yard, three-touchdown explosion.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin was targeted eight times in Sunday's upset loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but he only caught three passes for a mere 45 yards.

Chris Givens (WR, BAL) Could Thrive in Garbage Time

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As the number three option on a struggling offense led by a backup quarterback, it's tough to recommend Chris Givens for anything but the deepest of leagues. However, he was targeted eight times Sunday, trailing only running back Javorius "Buck" Allen (13) and […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 14 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

So Week 13 has come and gone with no real major injuries causing any little owned player to leap out as the "must-add" as we head into the playoff season. Allen Hurns is slated to return next week so Rashad Greene isn't too interesting, and Dontrelle Inman had a very scary looking neck injury but […]

Brandon Coleman's (WR, NO) Value Hinges on the Health of Others

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Any value Brandon Coleman has moving forward will be exclusively tied to the health of Willie Snead.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Just when you think it's safe to give up on Ted Ginn, the veteran pulls you back in.

Brian Hartline (WR, CLE) Has Earned Himself a Major Role in Cleveland

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is certainly not a flashy pick, but it's a relatively safe one, particularly in PPR leagues. Brian Hartline has at least six receptions and 70 yards in each of Cleveland's last three games. Again, hardly flashy, but there's something to be said […]

Ameer Abdullah a Good Bench Stash

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 57% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ameer Abdullah is still a very skilled player, the only problem is he's playing on limited touches. At this point in the season it's hard to see him escaping his role and earning himself the feature spot on this offense. However, he's […]

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Charcandrick West OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available in most leagues, Ware and West are in a timeshare where Ware seems to have the redzone area on lockdown. He's been a better rusher than West on the season, so he may be able to find a bigger role on […]

Scoop Up James White

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James White operated as the lead back for the majority of the Patriots game against the Eagles. He managed to have the ninth highest receiving yardage amongst all players in week 13 (as of Sunday night) and might be able to keep […]

Respect Shaun Draughn

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Somehow Shaun Draughn has managed to find a startable FLEX floor in nearly any kind of league. He's seeing a regular 40 yards in the air and 40 yards on the ground and has become one of Blaine Gabbert's most used […]
