Week 17 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Zach Ertz, Vance McDonald and Maxx Williams

Although Week 17 can be as unpredictable as global-warmed weather due to teams shutting players down either for the playoffs or to spare them from needless injury in meaningless games, there are still some fantasy leagues out there that use the last week of the NFL season as their fantasy Super Bowl. If a fantasy owner […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/29/15

With the exception of what may transpire in Oklahoma City, every game figures to be relatively close, theoretically leading to much more minutes for the starters. That’s how the theory goes. Most of the teams on slate also played on Monday night, so there’s that too. Have fun on this six-game schedule! In this article, […]

Dontrelle Inman Looking Like the Top Target in San Diego

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman has certainly looked like a reliable wide receiver over the last two weeks for the San Diego Chargers. After catching three passes for 78 yards against the Miami Dolphins, he tallied eight receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown on Christmas Eve against the […]

Marqise Lee Could Be on the Verge of Breaking Out

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee had his best overall game of the season in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints, finishing with three catches for 26 yards and a touchdown. It's been a quiet season for Lee as fellow wide receivers Allen Robinson and Allen […]

Corey Brown's Usage Likely to Increase

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Monitor the status of Ted Ginn Jr., who left Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a knee injury. If Ginn were to miss the regular-season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown would certainly get a bump in value. Brown finished with three […]

Nate Washington Continues to Thrive as the No. 2 Wideout

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Nate Washington isn't going to pass DeAndre Hopkins on the depth chart anytime soon, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any value. Washington finished with three catches for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's rout of the Tennessee Titans. The score […]

Look for Markus Wheaton to Bounce Back

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Markus Wheaton, like the rest of the players in the Pittsburgh Steelers' passing offense, was disappointing in Sunday's road loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He finished with 41 yards on just three receptions, snapping a four-game stretch where Wheaton had at least 65 […]

Terrance Williams Could Have FLEX Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Any appeal that Terrance Williams might have will be directly tied to Dez Bryant. If Bryant's foot injury keeps him out of the lineup for the season finale, Williams will enter as Kellen Moore's de facto No. 1 wide receiver. Williams finished with four […]

Grab Sam Bradford for his Appealing Week 17 Matchup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford has scored 16 and 17 fantasy points in his last two games (vs. Arizona and vs. Washington), and on paper, this is an even easier matchup. Heading into Week 16, the New York Giants have given up 15 fantasy points or […]

Give A.J. McCarron a Look in Deep Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I don’t really care what AJ McCarron does Monday Night against the Denver Broncos-- his matchup against that elite defense won’t say much about his performance against the Baltimore Ravens. In his first two games with significant playing time, he has shown that […]

Brandon Weeden Impressing in Houston

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If there is one thing Brandon Weeden does really well, I would have to say it is feeding his top receiving weapon over and over again. We saw it with Josh Gordon in 2013, and we saw it with DeAndre Hopkins (11 targets […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/29

Jameer Nelson (vs. CLE) - $4,700 Tonight's a value night at point guard for me. Emmanuel Mudiay is still out for the Nuggets, and Denver has continued to show confidence in Nelson as long as he has been healthy. Matthew Dellavedova is a tough matchup, but Nelson only needs 20 FDP or so to hit […]

Jeff Green (SF, MEM) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/29

Jeff Green (vs. MIA) - $4,500 Matt Barnes will miss the next two games for Memphis after his suspension, and while we don't know exactly how those minutes will be doled out yet, I'm willing to assume that Green will get a handful of them. That would likely put him right at 30 minutes, and […]

Ty Lawson (PG, HOU) and James Harden (SG, HOU) - Stack on FanDuel 12/29

Ty Lawson (vs. ATL) - $3,700 Despite coming off the bench, Lawson is beginning to see more minutes the past couple of games. Remember when he was the focal point of the Nuggets' offense? Well, he can be just that on the Rockets' second unit. Lawson is starting to shoot the ball more, and it […]

Andre Drummond (C, DET) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/29

Andre Drummond (C, at NY) - $9,700 Last but not least, the must-start guy of the night. I came into this slate with Drummond as a lock, and it worked out really well that I could fit a few extra studs in. Drummond has begun to show his ability to completely dominate the boards again […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/29/15

We get a nice bonus game tonight, giving us five on a Tuesday. That's just enough to make this slate legitimate. Keep an eye on which of the five games you think might turn into blowouts, as that always tends to steer me away from the studs. DeAndre Jordan was looking like a sure bet […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 17: Markus Wheaton, Terrance Williams, Nate Washington

Week 17. It's finally ... over? Sadly, the NFL regular season is approaching its end. It's at this point each season we're painfully reminded just how short the football calendar is. For most owners, the fantasy season ends Monday night with the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos putting a cap on Week 16. But there […]

LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/18

LeBron James (at PHO, $9,800) The Cavaliers were sizzling, on a six game winning streak, and then they ran into the defending champions in a rematch of last year's NBA Finals. Regardless of the Cavs' two game losing streak, I'm a huge fan of King James in a matchup versus the Bledsoe-less Phoenix Suns. We can ignore […]

Evan Fournier (SG, ORL) and Nikola Vucevic (C, ORL) - Stack on DraftKings 12/28

Evan Fournier (vs NO, $5,200) Fournier has scored in double-digits in four straight games and will likely continue that streak against a Pelicans team battling the Lakers and Kings for sole ownership of the league's worst defense. Fournier has picked up over 30 fantasy points in three of his last four, a steal in six straight, […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/28

Ish Smith (at UTA, $4,800) A change of scenery could do wonders for a player. Especially for one who has been in a slump on a slumping team. Not that the relocation is to a winning team, but in Smith's first game with the Philadelphia 76ers, the point guard played 31 minutes, scoring 14 points, […]

NBA Guards: Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Bradley Beal was ruled out over a week ago and it was unknown who would step up while he was gone. So far Beal's role has been somewhat replaced by the surprising Garrett Temple for Washington. Both Eric Bledsoe and Alec Burks will be missing significant time because of serious injuries. Figuring out who steps […]

NBA Under-Performing Stars: Point Guard Edition

Welcome to Volume 2 of the Under-Performing Stars series, as we have rounded back to the point guard position. The good news about recent point guard play is that, in general, point guards have been performing quite well. Odds are, your primary point guard hasn't been a disappointment. There have also been some surprisingly good point […]

Week 16 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate

The Fantasy Football year ends with the ultimate backup QB matchup. The Bengals and Broncos are really good teams being lead by somewhat suspect starting QBs. Both teams are pretty healthy at all non-QB fantasy positions. Check out those guys that can produce no matter the starting QB and those ones that should be forgotten […]

Brandon Knight (PG, PHO) - FanDuel Big Money Play for 12/28

Brandon Knight (vs CLE, $7,000) Brandon Knight is going to lead the entire Phoenix Suns' offense for awhile, as Eric Bledsoe is currently sidelined. Bledsoe shoots the ball early and often, which means that his injury will open up a lot more shots for Knight. In his last two games, Knight has over 35 fantasy points in both, and he […]

Chandler Parsons (SF, DAL) - FanDuel Value Play for 12/28

Chandler Parsons (vs MIL, $4,500) Chandler Parsons is finally playing big minutes for the Dallas Mavericks, and he looks good. In his last two games, he has both over 30 minutes and over 30 fantasy points in both of them. He looked very impressive against the Chicago Bulls, scoring 20 points, rebounding the ball five times, and assisting […]

J.J. Barea (PG, DAL) - FanDuel Value Play for 12/28

J.J. Barea (vs MIL, $4,100) J.J. Barea is playing 30-40 plus minutes per game for the Dallas Mavericks right now, and he looks incredible. Since returning from injury, he has really impressed. Over his last two games, he is averaging right around 40 fantasy points per game. He is scoring at a very high rate, which is […]

Week 17 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Sam Bradford, Brandon Weeden, A.J. McCarron

There is just one more week left in the regular season. For many that means the fantasy season is already over. However, for the few that may still be playing in Week 17 without a sure thing at QB I’ve got you covered. First let’s look back at Week 16. With four QBs left to […]
