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. He has drawn the start in each of his last two games, and he’s averaging 39.6 fantasy points per game during that span. He will draw the start against tonight against an up tempo Chicago team, […]

Kawhi Leonard (SG, SA) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/16

Kawhi Leonard (vs WAS, $8,600) Leonard has been one of the hottest players in the NBA over his last couple of games, as he’s averaging 42.8 fantasy points in only 27.3 minutes per game. The only issue is that he is barely playing any minutes because the Spurs have been blowing teams out by the […]

Week 15 Fantasy Football Fallers: Jameis Winston, Shaun Draughn, Travis Kelce & More

Well Week 14 was really hit or miss across the board with plenty of games in the clunker/ugly category and a few that just absolutely popped off. If your playoff hopes are still alive then take a little sip of champagne if you'd like, but it only gets more difficult and sweaty from here on out. […]

Take a Flier on Albert Wilson

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The second-year Chiefs wideout put together his finest outing of the season Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, catching four passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Albert Wilson is hardly overtaking Jeremy Maclin or tight end Travis Kelce in the pass-catching pecking […]

Javontee Herndon Is Worth Monitoring

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Javontee Herndon is the Chargers wideout that offers the most upside. His five receptions in Sunday's loss trailed only tight end Antonio Gates. In fact, Philip Rivers targeted wide receivers on 18 of his 43 attempts -- nine to Malcom Floyd, seven to Herndon and […]

Seth Roberts Continues to Find the End Zone

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 […]

Jermaine Kearse Is a Solid Plan B Wideout

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jermaine Kearse is the third option in Seattle's passing attack behind Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, but the third option in the league's hottest offense is still plenty valuable. Kearse caught seven passes for 74 yards in Sunday's rout of the Baltimore Ravens. […]

Don't Forget About Malcom Floyd

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The veteran Chargers wideout offers little upside at this stage of his career, but the state of San Diego's offense is certainly helping his value. Floyd was targeted a team-high nine times in Sunday's loss to division rival Kansas City. However, he only […]

Nelson Agholor Getting More Looks in Philly

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a disappointing rookie season for the Eagles' first-round pick, but Nelson Agholor flashed his raw talent and potential in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. Agholor finished with three catches for 62 yards, including a highlight reel-worthy 53-yard touchdown. Philadelphia's offense […]

Tyler Lockett Will Benefit from a Pass-Heavy Offense

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett is coming off of back-to-back weeks with seven targets, and has shown major play-making potential all season long. With Russell Wilson entering a completely new level of passing ability, Lockett might be able to benefit, especially since injuries to Marshawn Lynch […]

Ted Ginn Jr Is a Touchdown Machine

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's hard to imagine a season where Ted Ginn Jr. is a viable starter, but that's where we're at right now. He is currently working a monster touchdown streak, with four over the last two games. Ginn needs to be on your bench at […]

Take a Look at Dorial Green-Beckham in Deep Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham is a major talent suffering from a lot of his own rookie issues, as well as his team's general issues. There isn't a ton of value to be found in him this year, but there's just enough to make DGB a […]

A Heavy Workload Is Keeping Kamar Aiken Relevant

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kamar Aiken continues to find a strong floor every week, despite the QB carousel in Baltimore right now. At this point, he's solidified his place as a weekly FLEX option and should be owned, at the very least, as depth for your playoff […]

DeVante Parker Is Slowly Coming into His Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper/Dynasty Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devante Parker has been gaining ground in this offense despite it's anemic outputs, and he is the most talented player they have in their receiving corps. It's unlikely for him to fully break out in his final three games, but he might […]

Markus Wheaton Is a Big-Play Threat

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Over the last three weeks, Wheaton has managed to find a real role in this offense between the massive space created by Martavis Bryant and Antonio Brown. The Steelers will be facing a difficult Broncos defense this weekend, but Wheaton might be the biggest beneficiary […]

Consider Willie Snead as Your FLEX

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Willie Snead's stock dropped far after a string of inconsistency, but he has a good shot at providing value two weeks in a row. Brandin Cooks will likely be seeing a lot of Darius Slay this weekend, and that coverage might be enough […]

Tyrod Taylor's Ceiling Remains High

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor has been written about plenty this year, so all that's left to say is that he's got the Redskins and Cowboys in his final two games. Taylor is inconsistent in floor, but he always offers a QB1 ceiling. He's still available in over […]

It's A.J. McCarron Time in Cincinnati

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton is out with a fractured thumb, and A.J. McCarron is eager to make the most of his opportunity. We saw the good and the bad in the first significant playing time of his career. McCarron threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Just Keeps Rolling

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick is on fire, with three straight starts of 24 or more fantasy points. His WR duo of Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker has proven to be too much for defenses to stop lately. The Cowboys are a solid but not great […]

Expect Alex Smith to Carve Through the Ravens

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I recommend Alex Smith about every other week, but last week I shied away and he didn’t meet my threshold of 15 points, so I’ll take that as a positive! Still, he did hit double digits for the 11th straight game. He will definitely […]

Dorial Green-Beckham a Solid Flex Play in Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DGB is clearly the number one receiver in Tennessee right now. He's coming off a quiet game against the Jets, but he still averaged 17.7 yards per catch in that game. What that tells me is that Marcus Mariota likes to look […]

Ted Ginn Jr.: Carolina's Big Play Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ted Ginn Jr. is absolutely on fire right now. The Panthers were seen as a somewhat one-dimensional team that could only beat opponents on the ground and with good defense. This narrative has changed dramatically though as we have seen Cam Newton elevate […]

Brandon Bolden a Sneaky RB Play

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This has been one of the most injury-plagued and confusing seasons I've ever seen for fantasy running backs. The Patriots are always dangerous when it comes to speculating which running back is going to do well for them. However, with LeGarrette […]

Week 15 Fantasy Football Risers: Todd Gurley, Doug Baldwin, Tim Hightower & More

Week 15 is now here, and for most of you if you're reading this that means you've made it into your league's semifinal matchup. Or perhaps you're tangled up in a two week long first round of the playoffs. Regardless, these weeks tend to be entirely "win or go home". No mulligans here. While we'd all […]

Bryce Brown is a Must Add for the Fantasy Playoffs

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brown was already a hot waiver commodity this week when Thomas Rawls was lost for the season with a broken ankle. But he became my #1 pickup for the last few weeks of the season when the Seahawks released RB DuJuan Harris Tuesday […]
