Spencer Ware Looks to Pound Browns

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware was an "emergency only" option at running back on Sunday (he registered two snaps), so Charcandrick West got to do all of the lifting. If Ware does come back into the fold for Week 16 though, Ware is the bigger guy who […]

Restarting the Christine Michael Hype Train

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 17% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I can't believe I'm finally writing this, but here we are. Christine Michael is your add out of the Seahawks backfield after he ran with purpose against a crappy Cleveland defense, going for 84 yards on 16 carries. When you rush for […]

NBA Centers: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

There are three repeat performers on the waiver wire list this week. They have been here before because they showed flashes of having a potentially sustained stretch of productive basketball. All three have continued to perform and are back because they just can't be ignored anymore. The final waiver wire candidate is a rookie that […]

Jordan Cameron a Desperation TE Play in Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming into the year, what fantasy owners worried most about Cameron was that he had suffered a couple concussions and might be one more away from missing an entire season or even retiring.  But that hasn’t been his problem at all because […]

Jared Cook Can Get Your Team Cookin' Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Play in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The St. Louis pass offense is downright offensive between its lack of talent, lack of execution and lack of creativity. But if the Rams have been doing anything right the past month-plus it has been attempting to force passes to Cook, something […]

Will Tye is Your Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE Streamer OWNED IN: 8% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It is time to jump on the fantasy bandwagon of the man with the short but sweet name.  If you thought he was a fluke then you must have thought Devonta Freeman, Allen Robinson and Jordan Reed were flashes in the pan, […]

NBA Forwards: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello again and welcome to another week of waiver wire decisions and another group of three forwards (one you've seen before from me) who can add a spark to the middle of your lineup.

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.

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/20/15

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Two slate on tap for Sunday and they are filling up mega fast. The early games look to feature a little more blow out potential (cough cough, Cleveland and Philly), but the late games should be action packed. 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 […]
