NBA Under-Performing Stars: Center Edition

It’s the holiday season, and I hope everyone is in festive spirits despite the struggles of the center on their roster. There is good news, though. Odds are that you probably weren’t counting on your center being the main scoring contributor for your team anyway. Typically speaking, centers should be very consistent in their production […]

Which Packers Can Be Trusted In The Fantasy Football Championships

The Green Bay Packers were supposed to be one of the few trustworthy fantasy offenses this season but inconsistencies have plagued fantasy owners with frustration and doubt. The Packers fantasy stars were all shockingly quiet on Sunday against a poor Oakland Raiders defense. This has led to the question of if you can trust Green […]

Desperate Times Call for Jeremy Butler

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If you're dipping into the Baltimore Ravens' player pool for a wide receiver, Kamar Aiken is the one you'll want, but Jeremy Butler has also been on a nice little streak. One week after catching seven passes for 72 yards against Seattle, Butler […]

Keep an Eye on Keshawn Martin

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin had just three catches for 26 yards in Sunday's win against the Tennessee Titans. Those numbers aren't worth writing home about, but the bigger news is that Danny Amendola left the game with a knee injury. If Amendola is unable to play […]

Devin Funchess Could See an Increase in Targets

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Outside of tight end Greg Olsen and Ted Ginn (at least lately), the Panthers have marched to 14-0 without relying on a consistent target in the passing game. Jerricho Cotchery, Corey Brown and Devin Funchess all get into the mix to varying degrees […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Starting Pitcher (Part 1)

Oh yes, it’s time to peek in at the beautiful landscape for starting pitching heading into the 2016 fantasy baseball season. A brief note, our rankings were submitted on December 6th before the full weight of the winter meetings came down. These initial rankings won’t reflect the moves of guys like Zack Greinke to ARI […]

Kyle Lowry (PG, TOR) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/22

Kyle Lowry (vs. DAL, $8,700) While Jameer Nelson provides some nice value at his price, it just doesn't make sense to leave money on the table at this position. You'll find all sorts of value at other spots, so mine as well load up on the studs here. Lowry hasn't been himself lately, but Dallas […]

Reggie Jackson (PG, DET) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Stack on FanDuel 12/22

Reggie Jackson (at MIA, $7,600) Jackson is the epitome of a tournament play. He has two 55-FDP performances in his past three games, but he has the potential to fall short of 30 too. On a short slate, I don't mind the idea of taking a chance on Jackson. He should take control of the […]

Chandler Parsons (SF, DAL) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/22

Chandler Parsons (at TOR, $4,300) Parsons has finally gotten up to 30 minutes a game, and a report came out that this trend will continue. At this price, that's a bargain. There are virtually zero other options at small forward Tuesday, so this pairing is not only due to value, but total points as well.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Two slate on tap for Sunday and they are filling up mega fast.

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings […]

Don't Sleep on Jermaine Kearse In Seattle

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks' passing attack is, quite simply, playing at an unstoppable pace. Over the last five games, quarterback Russell Wilson has thrown 19 touchdowns against zero interceptions. Read that again -- not a single interception! The biggest beneficiaries have been Doug Baldwin […]

DeVante Parker Continues to Improve

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a slow buildup for DeVante Parker in his rookie season, but he's finally showing the flashes of talent that made him the No. 14 overall pick this past April. The former Louisville standout finished with four catches for a career-high 87 […]

Eddie Royal Rising on the Depth Chart

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Eddie Royal returned two weeks ago after missing five games with a knee injury. He finished with 31 yards on five catches, his most since Week 6, in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings this past weekend. The five receptions (and six targets) […]

Seriously, Pick up Kamar Aiken!

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Few receivers have become as consistent on a week-to-week basis as Kamar Aiken. He has at least five receptions in seven straight games, and at least 50 yards in six of those games. He's coming off his best outing of the season-- an […]

Teddy Bridgewater Is Finding His Rhythm Late

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Streaming quarterbacks against the New York Giants has worked very well the last several weeks. Over the last seven games, every QB has scored at least 15 points. The Giants have also given up the most passing yards on the entire season. Meanwhile, […]

Kirk Cousins Has Yet Another Favorable Upcoming Matchup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I have not given Kirk Cousins nearly enough respect this season. After his third game with at least 25 points, it’s finally time to acknowledge the really nice season that Cousins is having. He has more points than preseason favorites Ryan Tannehill and […]

Is Johnny Manziel Turning the Corner?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m kind of disappointed that Johnny Manziel hasn’t run more this season, because that would make him a LOT more interesting from a fantasy perspective. Out of the quarterbacks owned in under 25% of leagues, I still like him the most anyway, as […]

Don't Expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to Slow Down

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Despite the weak game against the Dallas Cowboys, Ryan Fitzpatrick still likely sits at the top of this week's list of reliable quarterbacks. His next game (and final game for many of you) comes at home against the New England Patriots, a team […]

Week 15 MNF Matchups Analysis & Start/Sit Recommendations

Remember when Matthew Stafford and Drew Brees were throwing for 40+ touchdowns a year and being talked about as potential MVP candidates? Well they are no longer those guys, but they're still pretty good. Both quarterbacks have teams no longer in the NFL playoff hunt, but have rosters that are still filled with all sorts of fantasy […]

Brandon Jennings (PG, DET) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Temporary stash/Add in all leagues OWNED: 34% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Brandon Jennings is a flashy name that may have been forgotten by many in the fantasy basketball community. After nearly a year away from the court following a devastating Achilles injury last January, Jennings comeback appears nearly complete, as he looked […]

Is Atlanta's Offense Back on Track? Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Devonte Freeman Lead the Birds to Victory

The Atlanta Falcons have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season. After starting the season on a five game winning streak, Atlanta had been on a six game losing streak prior to Sunday's game over the Jacksonville Jaguars, with questions swirling about whether quarterback Matt Ryan's time was up in […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Chris Ivory, Eddie Lacy, Lamar Miller

This week saw a trio of running backs who didn't perform up to expectations. Let's take a closer look at their performances, and what it means for your fantasy team. Hopefully they didn't kill your chances of winning in the playoffs. New York Jets running back Chris Ivory had an extremely lackluster performance in Saturday's […]

Jeremy Lin (PG, CHA) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/21

Jeremy Lin (at HOU, $5,200) Has Linsanity swept through Charlotte? Not exactly, but Lin has taken advantage of injuries, exploding onto scoresheets the past two contests, posting 50.75 and 32.5 fantasy points. Lin's price has skyrocketed, increasing by $1,000 in only two games. With P.J. Hairston now designated to a predominately defensive role for the Hornets, […]

Blake Griffin (PF, LAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Blake Griffin (vs OKC, $8,900) Griffin's price has dropped down to earth a bit. Good. Makes it easier to scoop him up. Griffin has teetered around and has exceeded the 40 fantasy point mark in nine straight games. The Clippers against the Thunder should be a battle, a possible playoff preview, that is likely to be […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Carmelo Anthony (vs ORL, $8,400) It seems like 'Melo is finally finding his stroke. Until he proves otherwise, he is as smart of a fantasy pick as any. He has shot over 60% from the field in two of his last four games, and has been surprisingly spreading stats across the board. Normally an unlikely candidate […]

Garrett Temple (SG, WAS) and Jared Dudley (SF, WAS) - Value Stack on DraftKings 12/21

Garrett Temple (vs SAC, $4,000) Despite the revolving door of starting shooting guards in Washington since Bradley Beal went down, Temple may have now solidified his spot in the starting five with his performance Saturday night. In 35 minutes against the Hornets, Temple dropped 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. If he continues […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/21/15

It's important to not only focus on the lopsided matchups but also contests consisting of two great teams or two great players that'll likely guard each other. Anything that spells high scoring is gravitating in daily fantasy. If only every game went into multiple overtimes. Today's lineup features a point guard reclaiming fame away from […]

Week 15 Tight End Outlooks: Delanie Walker, Gary Barnidge, Julius Thomas

Delanie Walker is enjoying his finest season as a pro this year with Tennessee, and he’s become one of the most reliable tight ends in fantasy football. Walker has averaged more than 10 fantasy points per game over the last month, and only once did he score a touchdown in that span. He’s seeing a […]
