Battle of the Birds: Russell Wilson Soars as Matt Ryan Plummets

It’s hard to be a quarterback in the NFL. Think about it—not only are you largely responsible for the success or demise of your team, but your each and every move is analyzed at all times. Though unlikely to change, the microscope under which quarterbacks often find themselves can be both a blessing and a […]

Philip Rivers And Derek Carr Up, Drew Brees And Nick Foles Down In Week 12

After an abysmal performance in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs that saw him throw no touchdowns and an interception, Philip Rivers bounced back in a big way against the Jacksonville Jaguars, throwing for 300 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions on 29-for-43 passing. Despite his sometimes inconsistent nature, Rivers remains one of the […]

Jeremy Maclin Back On The Rise, Spencer Ware Potential Fantasy Stud?

The Kansas City Chiefs have saved their season and look to have a great chance at a wild card playoff spot. After a disappointing 1-5 start to the season and losing star running back Jamaal Charles for the remainder of the year, Kansas City is now on a five-game winning streak. They control their own […]

Rob Gronkowski Should Return, But Add Scott Chandler; Don’t Give Up On Brandon LaFell Just Yet

The fantasy story of the New England Patriots gets more confusing and intriguing each week. After losing fantasy studs Dion Lewis and Julian Edelman for the season, Tom Brady has to work his magic with significantly less talent. Sunday night put a major scare into Brady and Patriots fans when superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski […]

During Brock Osweiler’s Finest Moment, Demaryius Thomas Was Nowhere to Be Found

The quarterback drama in Denver has been well-documented in recent weeks. With Peyton Manning’s ability and health being called into question, Brock Osweiler has had the opportunity to solidify himself as a viable NFL starter.

Marcus Mariota Remains Difficult to Trust

BALLER MOVE: Add as low-end QB2 OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Mariota's up-and-down performance in this past Sunday's home loss to the Oakland Raiders was a perfect microcosm of his rookie season -- a lot of good, but also plenty of bad. He finished with three passing touchdowns, snapping a two-game streak without a score […]

Can we call it a comeback? Well, that might be pushing it. Boldin did, after all, have a […]

Alfred Blue Worth Adding as Flex

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB3 or flex depth OWNED IN: 64% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Alfred Blue isn't the most talented running back you'll see on an NFL field, but if this season has shown us anything, it's that backups can shine when called upon. Just look at Thomas Rawls, DeAngelo Williams and Charcandrick West (or […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/01/15

Two teams that everyone should love to pick on will go toe to toe tonight.

Or, the game could be a complete mess with over 40 combined […]

Harry Douglas Should See a Rise in Targets

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's hard to recommend any of the Titans' skill players outside of tight end Delanie Walker, but Harry Douglas is coming off a game in which he tied Walker for the team lead in targets (eight) and scored his second touchdown of the […]

Seth Roberts' Breakout Game Will Not Be a Fluke

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Seth Roberts' Week 12 showing against the Titans -- six receptions, 113 yards and two touchdowns -- was one of the fantasy football season's top breakout games, but it was not his first productive game of the season. Roberts has topped 50 receiving yards […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 13

Week 12 saw one big underdog, the Bears, take down the Packers on Thanksgiving night. Most of the favorites won on Sunday, excluding the Patriots and Giants.

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/1/15

Well, I’ve been playing DraftKings for the past couple of weeks now. Not by choice. However, for the pleasure of the people, I’m going to look at prices on my phone instead of my browser and fight the tears in order to provide FanDuel advice anyways. We have a nice six-game slate on Tuesday night. […]

Cameron Brate Coming on of Late

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At the same time, I'm tired of waiting and so is Cameron Brate apparently. Since the bye week, Brate's put up 3 touchdowns in 6 games while in a split with Brandon Myers. Well, the Bucs finally committed to one of the […]

Could Scott Chandler BE a Better TE Pickup?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chandler hasn't been that great for the Patriots outside of a few plays here and there, but if Gronk should miss any time- those targets will have to go to someone. It's looking less and less like Gronk's injury is going to […]

Greinke's Free Agent Market 'Quietly Heating Up'

The market for free agent starting pitcher Zack Greinke is “quietly heating up,” according to ESPN.com. The runner-up for this year’s NL Cy Young award is the hottest free agent on the market. Greinke backed out of the final three years on his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers for what would have been $71 […]

Jerricho Cotchery Is Climbing the Depth Chart in Carolina

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Panthers are 11-0, and somehow, 33-year-old Jerricho Cotchery is their second-most productive wide receiver. Cotchery isn't going to be a splashy move, but then again, how many splashy moves are left to be made in Week 13? He's been targeted six times […]

Look for Dontrelle Inman to Continue to Improve

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Since Keenan Allen was lost for the season back in Week 8, Dontrelle Inman has floated around as a potential late-season steal.

DeVante Parker May Finally Become Fantasy Relevant

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper/Dynasty Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a quiet, underwhelming rookie season for the Dolphins' first-round pick, but DeVante Parker set career highs in catches (four) and yards (80) while scoring his first touchdown in garbage time of Sunday's loss to the Jets. The early exit […]

Take a Flier on Marquess Wilson in PPR Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alshon Jeffery returned to his role as Jay Cutler's primary target in Chicago's Thanksgiving night win in Green Bay, but Jeffery's return didn't completely neutralize Marquess Wilson, who is quietly having a decent third season. Wilson finished with four catches for 44 yards […]

Markus Wheaton Is Rediscovering His Potential

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Markus Wheaton put on a show for the Steelers in Week 12. The third-year wideout finished with a career-high 201 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions, routinely gashing the Seahawks' secondary for big gains. Wheaton was a popular sleeper choice entering this […]

Doug Baldwin's Big Day Won't Be His Last

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin torched the Steelers for 145 yards and three touchdowns on six receptions in Sunday's wild 39-30 win.

Time to Unleash Jay Ajayi?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point, it may behoove the Dolphins to just run the ball 40 times a game. Ryan Tannehill has looked awful, as has the offense as a whole. OC Bill Lazor was fired today, and his removal should yield more touched […]

Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved […]

Bilal Powell a Must-Own Handcuff

BALLER MOVE: Add as Ivory Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory is the unquestioned top dog in New York, but Bilal Powell is a more-than-capable complement. Prior to his Week 4 injury, Powell had at least 10 carries in each game, and also had 13 catches over the three weeks. Since […]

Give Jamison Crowder One Last Shot

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder has had two consecutive down weeks, but I still believe in the PPR floor he's had for a majority of this season. He unfortunately had a TD taken away from him in Week 12, which would've saved his fantasy day and […]
