Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Avoid in all formats OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one has ever questioned Colin Kaepernick's raw talent. He has all the physical tools to succeed, but the consistency simply isn't there this season. He's torn apart the Steelers (335 yards, 2 TDs), Giants (262 yards, 2 TDs) and Ravens (340 yards, 2 TDs), […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Start as bye-week replacement OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell's fantasy value is almost exclusively tied to touchdowns. That is, when he scores them, he has value. When he doesn't ... well, he's not going to give you much else. The New York Giants' starting tight end has been targeted at […]

La Liga - A Three Horse Race Again?
For the last three seasons, the Spanish La Liga has seen the same three teams occupy the top three slots – Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. This year it's only taken nine games for the 2015-16 La Liga table to assume an all too familiar looking demeanor. Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Fallers From Week 7
Week 7 is just another page in the history books. Eddie Lacy was on a bye so he couldn't disappoint yet again, but we still had plenty of notable performances that demand context and further investigation. Again, we're not here to talk about how good Julio Jones is or how much Nick Foles stinks. Without further […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Risers From Week 7
Week 7 has come and gone, and now it is time to look back at some players who really saw their stock jump thanks to their performance this past weekend. Some players have just been forgotten about due to a bye, some quiet weeks, or an injury, but here we are to peek in at […]

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaaack. Your team begins the night with 2 points if you read that in your Mase voice. The NBA season has finally graced us with its return. It wasn't really gone all that long and technically, it returned yesterday, but three games isn't exactly an exciting DFS slate. Limited options […]

Chris Ivory, Andre Ellington, Justin Forsett: Running Backs With Warning Signals?
I should tell you right off the bat that it's gotten increasingly difficult to identify running backs that warrant discussing for this list. The truth is, finding players that are genuinely struggling as opposed to just flat out bad is like finding a needle in a haystack at this point. Even with that little disclaimer […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had to navigate some pretty treacherous waters recently with most of his crew below deck nursing their respective ailments. Missing Steve Smith hurt Flacco dearly, and then Crockett Gillmore also missed some action and Justin Forsett was playing […]

Roddy White (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re in deeper leagues you could do a lot worse than Roddy White. He is starting to work back into the Falcons’ receiving rotation, though he is still only averaging four targets per game, and it doesn’t seem like that […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 7 was very disappointing for Dorial Green-Beckham and his owners, as well as the Tennessee Titans. Green-Beckham was coming off of a Week 6 game against Miami that saw his role expand, as he got three receptions on six targets […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle may still not have been 100% with his hamstring going into Week 7, though he should be darn close. He continues to average about six targets per game, and unfortunately he could only turn two of those into receptions […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Leonard Hankerson was ruled out of Week 7’s game against the Titans with a hamstring injury. The injury, combined with his past two games being poor (one of which he also exited early thanks to an injury) have meant that his […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Nate Washington had a heck of a game on Sunday against the Dolphins as he racked up garbage time stats. This may totally overshadow what Cecil Shorts has done to date. He missed the Week 7 game with a hamstring […]

Kamar Aiken (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely with his PCL injury requiring more rehabilitation, Aiken is in line to continue seeing snaps for Baltimore. He is still lining up as the primary #2 receiver for the Ravens after Steve Smith returned to action, […]

Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ahmad Bradshaw is going to require patience from his owners, patience and hope. It was pretty clear from the get go that Bradshaw would be worked in behind Frank Gore, allowing for the Colts to stay the path with their […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Antonio Andrews missed the first two games of the season, only to come back and score a touchdown in Weeks 3 and 5. He emerged as the clear short yardage and between the tackles running back for the Titans. Bishop Sankey […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 68% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Vereen has had three games where his PPR stats would have warranted playing him, but unfortunately he has also thrown in four games that were true stinkers. While he definitely has to be owned in PPR scoring leagues for […]

Ryan Mathews (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 76% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While owning Ryan Mathews has quite the “handcuffy” feel to it, he still has put forward three weeks out of seven that would absolutely warrant playing him. If you’re in a league with a bench spot that you aren’t extremely attached […]

Why Alfred Blue Is the Next Man Up in Houston
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yeah, Arian Foster is done for 2015. There are plenty of implications for Arian Foster and his own career, and questions as to why Foster was in the game, but for our sake we are concerned about the next man up. At this […]

James Starks Should Continue to Get Carries
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Don't forget about James Starks during Green Bay's bye week. Starks' value going forward boils down to whether you think Eddie Lacy's struggles are a result of a lingering ankle injury or general ineffectiveness. Regardless, with a solid number of touches, Starks should […]

Brandon LaFell Hopes to Knock Rust Off
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: That was certainly an inauspicious start to Brandon LaFell's 2015 season on Sunday. In fairness, he was very rusty and he did not have an easy matchup against the Jets. That being said, his quarterback is still Tom Brady, and I'm buying […]

Stay the Course with Matt Jones
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Redskins' ground game has been a mess, but Jones was on the field more than Alfred Morris. While his usage on Sunday was a bit confusing, a running back who will see goal line touches in the NFL has fantasy […]

Jordan Reed Has Become a Top-Tier Tight End
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jordan Reed is a great athlete and a big target, and he has good hands and route-running abilities. He brutalized Tampa Bay for 11 catches, 72 yards and two touchdowns in his first game back from injury. Given how much quarterback Kirk Cousins […]

Charcandrick West Is the #1 Back in KC...So Pick Him Up!
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Charcandrick West is clearly the starting running back for Kansas City. A starting running back in an offense that will (stubbornly and sometimes stupidly) abuse their running game needs to be owned in way more than 42% of leagues. It's understandable how […]

Stefon Diggs Has Emerged as a Star
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Minnesota Vikings appear to have found an amazing wide receiver in their ranks, with Stefon Diggs showing that he is a really great route runner who was able to step up into Charles Johnson's starting spot and ball out. It was worrisome […]

The Hustle - Week 7 Buy Low/Sell High Review (PPR)
Before I dive into my recap, I'd like to touch on Lamar Miller. One of the first things I wrote in my article last week was to “close this post and ignore it completely." I hope you at least ignored my advice to sell high on Lamar Miller. Before we decide whether or not Miller can […]

Marvin Jones Continues to Produce for Cincinnati
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is one of the best in football right now, and he has plenty of weapons from which to choose on any given play. While Marvin Jones may not be a shiny name like A.J. Green, Tyler Eifert or even […]
