Wide Receiver Outlooks: Donte Moncrief, Allen Hurns and Rishard Matthews

There have not been many bright spots for the Indianapolis Colts thus far this season, but one bright spot for the team has been wide receiver Donte Moncrief. Moncrief has been playing great throughout the season with 56 catches for 669 yards and five touchdowns. Not only has Moncrief been playing great this season, he […]

Fantasy Stock Down: T.J. Yeldon, Lamar Miller and Andre Ellington

It’s definitely not the time of year when fantasy football owners want to hear about a starter being out with an injury.

NBA Waiver Wire: Week 8 Category Streamers

Week 8 is here! This week I stuck to three categories again, as the waiver wire pool just keeps getting thinner and thinner. Going forward you should be paying very close attention to injury news, even if it’s just for a game or two. Rotations are pretty locked in by this point in the season, […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Todd Gurley, Rob Gronkowski and Christine Michael

If you were smart enough to draft St. Louis Rams rookie running back Todd Gurley before the season, you may find yourself still alive in your fantasy football league’s playoffs. Gurley is a no-brainer must start RB1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15, especially after the team listed him as probably with a […]

Jeff Teague (PG, ATL) and Al Horford (C, ATL) - Stack on FanDuel 12/16

Jeff Teague (vs PHI, $6,100) When looking for salary relief at the point tonight, look no further than Mr. Teague. He's priced incredibly fairly, and while his recent performance suggests using him in cash is risky, I think his matchup tonight warrants strong consideration in tournament play. His price implied point total is just 23, and facing […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Flex option in PPR leagues Owned In: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Riddick has been out-carried and out-rushed by both Joique Bell and Ameer Abdullah.

Baller Move: Handcuff to Jonathan Stewart and Cameron Artis-Payne Owned In: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: In relief of the rested Jonathan Stewart last week, Whittaker carried the ball eight times for 34 yards and a touchdown in a blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. With a performance like that in shortened playing time, it […]

Avery Bradley (SG, BOS) - FanDuel Value Play for 12/16

Avery Bradley (at DET, $5,800) Chasing points with Bradley might be a relatively popular pick tonight thanks to his recent outbursts, but one of the few times ownership percentages should be the lesser of your concerns is on a night with 12 games. Even with strong performances his last few times on the court, his price hasn't […]

Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Handcuff to Jonathan Stewart, stash away Owned In: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: 16-0 is definitely on everyone's mind in Carolina, but Panthers coach Ron Rivera doesn't only want to win.

Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) - Sleeper on DraftKings 12/16

Jrue Holiday (at UTA, $4,700) Holiday has been playing more and more minutes as the season progresses, and it looks like he may play upwards of 30 minutes tonight.

Top Three Upset Picks for Week 15 of the NFL Season

Last week I went 3-for-3 in my picks, including picking the Raiders and Broncos as the game to avoid. I am not sure how many survivor pools are still going on, but I doubt there would be many left due to the insane amount of rash upsets there have been this season. Therefore, the last […]

Matt Barnes (SF, MEM) and Marc Gasol (C, MEM) - Stack on DraftKings 12/16

Matt Barnes (at CHI, $5,100) Barnes should be one of the first players you insert into your lineups tonight.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Oakland Raiders' passing attack is very much still a two-man show starring Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, but Roberts has quietly carved out a niche as the number three wideout. Though he finished with just two catches for 20 yards in Sunday's […]
