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. He is actually used the least on Detroit rushing plays, but Riddick is the only Lions running back worth a look and a potential start in fantasy lineups. On the season, […]
Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: FLEX-play in 12+ team PPR leagues Owned In: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Bilal Powell has suddenly become an integral part of the surging New York Jets offense. He is coming off his best two fantasy weeks and now heads into another likable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys Saturday night. According to Yahoo! Sports, the […]
Fozzy Whittaker (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Analysis
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. He wants his team to be healthy for a playoff run. According to ESPN.com, the Panthers are likely to give starting running […]
Running Backs Sending Out Warning Signals: Matt Forte, Charcandrick West, Javorius Allen, Alfred Blue & More
If you've been keeping up with Warning Signals, you'll recall that the past few weeks have sort of alternated between discussions about upper tier studs and border line starters. Given all of the fantasy playoff implications involved, it seemed like the proper formula to follow going into the later weeks of the season. Heading into Week […]
Week 15 Daily Fantasy Football Stacks: Tom Brady - Rob Gronkowski, Carson Palmer - Larry Fitzgerald, Drew Brees - Brandin Cooks
For the last few weeks, this column has led off by highlighting the winner of the weekly Millionaire Maker tournament. You know what they say ... if it ain't broke, don't fix it. All kidding aside, there's a reason we keep doing this: Stacking is literally helping daily fantasy players become millionaires each week. In […]
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. That’s more than enough time for him to hit value at his current price tag, as he has scored 30+ fantasy points in four consecutive games. […]
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 […]
