Stretch Run Value: Richard Rodgers

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He'll be reliant on getting into the end zone for his production to be worth it, but the Packers clearly don't have much of a reliable run game to fall back on right now. Richard Rodgers followed up his five catch, […]

Dorial Green-Beckham: Will the Numbers Back Up the Name?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one should have been expecting anything out of him against the Panthers, and hopefully he sees a dip in ownership thanks to the goose egg he posted this past weekend. He still isn't going to be consistent, but he is […]

Chris Givens: Coming Into His Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Most owners are going to be flocking to Kamar Aiken since he is the de facto #1 receiver for the Ravens nowadays. While Aiken is definitely worth your, don't let Chris Givens just fall through the cracks if you're speculating or […]

Dwayne Harris: Demanding Your Attention With His Play

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The news came in that Victor Cruz will officially not play in 2015, as he will undergo season ending surgery. This means that Dwayne Harris is locked in for the rest of the year as the Giants' slot man. Harris has […]

Deeper PPR Value: Cecil Shorts

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Texans’ ugly Week 10 game against the Bengals was Shorts’ first action since Week 6 thanks to a hamstring injury. Before Week 6 he had a shoulder injury. In the five games prior to Week 10 that he had […]

Nate Washington: Still Underowned

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no questioning that the Houston Texans’ receiving corps is led by DeAndre Hopkins by a pretty wide margin. Nate Washington is not to be overlooked though. Hopkins, Cecil Shorts, and Nate Washington make a pretty sneaky three wide set that […]

Marvin Jones: Not Just an Afterthought

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Watching the Monday Night Football tilt between the Bengals and Texans did not yield a lot of smiles for fantasy owners outside of those who had the defenses, but there were still bright spots. One such bright spot would be Marvin […]

Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Keep on the waiver wire Owned In: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: With a season-ending ACL injury to running back Dion Lewis, an opportunity emerged for Brandon Bolden. What did he do with that opportunity? One carry for negative three yards. There was much speculation heading into Week 10 against the New York Giants […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Deep stash in all leagues Owned In: 15% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Bishop Sankey started the season strong with two touchdowns and 86 all-purpose yards Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hasn't done much of anything ever since. The Tennessee Titans have done their best impersonation of a running-back-musical-chairs, not knowing which back would […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Flier in deeper leagues Owned In: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Heading into Week 9 against the Chicago Bears, the San Diego Chargers were without Keenan Allen. After the first quarter Monday night, they lost Malcom Floyd as well. It's now possible that the Chargers will be without either for the rest of the […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned In: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The Amish Rifle with one thumb is still better than Geno Smith. According to ESPN.com, head coach Todd Bowles is hopeful that Fitzpatrick will play Sunday, but is still uncertain about the status of Fitzpatrick's non-throwing thumb. "I have to see how he looks and […]

Mark Sanchez (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Sam Bradford Owned In: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: There really isn't much difference between Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford. Both are two less-than-stellar quarterbacks who still haven't figured out how to protect the ball. The only discernible difference heading into Week 11 is that one will play and the other […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks – FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/18/15

NBA Wednesday is back and we've been #blessed with a 10-game slate that tips off at 7:00 EST. There aren't really any marquee matchups despite the number of teams in play, but there are a few games to target for stacking purposes. As of right now, a few point total projections haven't been listed in […]

Fantasy Warning Signals? DeAngelo Williams, Mark Ingram, Doug Martin, James Jones

DeAngelo Williams – RB, Pittsburgh Steelers I'm going to try to keep this one short and sweet. We've already seen just how productive DeAngelo Williams can be in the absence of starter Le'Veon Bell so the only real reason he made the list this week is because he had a disappointing outing against a terrible Cleveland run […]

Fantasy Stock Down? Dez Bryant, Darren McFadden & Jimmy Graham

Darren McFadden – RB, Dallas Cowboys Yes, Tampa Bay's defense is actually not as bad as advertised when it comes to the run. Yes, Matt Cassel was under center. But it doesn't excuse a rather poor performance from Dallas' running game. This is an elite offensive line and a running back who has showed great vision and explosiveness since he […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, Ten.) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues as deep stash Owned in: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Antonio Andrews is a serviceable back who runs tough, falls forward and punishes tacklers. He's also a slower runner on a bad team who is losing carries to two other backfield mates already (Dexter McCluster and Bishop Sankey), and potentially more […]

Denard Robinson (RB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues as a Yeldon handcuff. Owned in: 26% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: A sprained MCL suffered in Week 2 derailed Denard Robinson's potential time share with rookie T.J. Yeldon. He missed three games with the injury, then returned Week 6 to log a season-high 10 touches against Houston in the one game Yeldon […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues for depth Owned in: 58% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: There was a time during the off-season when some pundits had Charles Sims as the lead back in Tampa Bay. Many who recognized Doug Martin's skill set knew otherwise. Still, Sims has produced when called upon, and is the clear handcuff should […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB/flex depth OWNED IN: 71% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Arizona Cardinals' shifty third-year back is coming off of his finest game of the season in Sunday night's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Ellington piled up 88 yards from scrimmage on just eight touches (five carries, three receptions), including a game-sealing 48-yard touchdown […]

Joique Bell (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Leave on the waiver wire Owned In: 52% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Bell rushed the ball a season-high 14 times last Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but for only 17 yards. It's surprising how much Bell is owned considering he has done next to nothing all season. It's been a merry-go-round of […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Add and stash Owned In: 63% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: It's difficult to not want a starting running back from any team in your lineup, especially if he's provided fantasy value in the past. After a season-ending injury to starter Arian Foster, it appeared that Alfred Blue would be the top waiver pickup. But Blue has yet […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Ryan Mathews Owned In: 60% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Darren Sproles is a role-player. He always has been throughout his career. Unfortunately, that title doesn't necessarily equate to value in fantasy leagues. However, with the status of running back Ryan Mathews in question Sproles' value could see a boost. Sproles has been […]

2015 In Review: Three Rookie 3Bs

The 2015 season featured an abundance of terrific performances. Here, we'll focus on the trio of fantastic freshmen at third base: Kris Bryant, Miguel Sano, and Jung-ho Kang. Bryant was regarded as one of the best prospects in the game after posting absurd numbers across two levels in 2014. Somewhat controversially, the Cubs left him […]

A's Negotiating With Pitcher Rich Hill

The Oakland A’s are negotiated a deal with pitcher Rich Hill, according to MLB Daily Dish. The Boston Red Sox called Hill up from the minors in September. The left-hander delivered four solid starts and delivered a nice 1.55 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 36/5 K/BB ratio in 29 innings. The San Diego Padres and Tampa […]

Make Sure Tony Romo Isn't Available On Your Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add as QB1 in All Leagues OWNED IN: 78% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He's back! Well, at least according to reports, he will be back this Sunday. While Romo (collarbone) hasn't officially been activated off of the injured reserve/designated to return list, the Dallas Cowboys released ineffective backup Brandon Weeden Tuesday afternoon, a move that certainly […]

Running Backs Sending Out Warning Signals: Marshawn Lynch, James Starks & More

Do my eyes deceive me or did we finally make it through an entire week of football without a major injury to a running back? How about that, it looks like that checks out. It only took ten full weeks but we finally had ourselves a Sunday that didn't involve us clutching our chests hoping a […]
