Heath Miller a TE Filler for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I have to admit, I would have been more excited to write about Heath Miller if Big Ben were under center on Sunday. In Week 8 against the Bengals, Miller recorded 105 yards receiving on 10 catches. A solid standard league game […]

The New and Improved Jay Cutler

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I know a lot of people still want no part of Jay Cutler after the letdowns of seasons past, but it's time to recognize.

Jacob Tamme (TE, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE2 or bye-week replacement OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: If you've scored big with Jacob Tamme as a waiver wire pickup or cheap DFS option over the last two weeks, kudos to you.

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider as WR3 or flex OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make this clear right from the start -- Marvin Jones is far from a safe bet. But as far as low-cost, high-ceiling flex players go, the Cincinnati Bengals wideout checks off a lot of the right boxes. Jones is coming off a five-catch, […]

Isaiah Crowell (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB depth OWNED IN: 71% of of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns' passing game has produced some of fantasy football's most unlikely breakout players this season (yes, we mean you Gary Barnidge and Travis Benjamin). Yet its rushing attack has left quite a bit to be desired. Isaiah Crowell, an RB1 in […]

Alfred Blue (RB, Hou) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as bye-week flex play in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Arian Foster out for the year with a torn Achilles tendon, Alfred Blue remains entrenched atop the Texans' stable of running backs. The problem here is that Blue, who owns just a 3.3 ypc average in 243 career attempts, […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start as QB1 and consider for DFS OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Welcome back, Tyrod Taylor. The fantasy football world certainly missed you. Taylor, the Buffalo Bills' dynamic first-year starter, started for the first time in nearly a month this past Sunday, and the impact was immediately evident. Taylor finished with 181 passing […]

Meet San Diego's Newest Starting WR, Dontrelle Inman

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Two injuries have left the Chargers precariously thin at the wide receiver position. With Keenan Allen already on IR and Malcom Floyd’s season in doubt after a shoulder injury, relatively unknown Dontrelle Inman is thrust into a starting role. This is definitely […]

Stevie Johnson (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all formats OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's gotten ugly for the Chargers. A 2-7 record, a season-ending injury to standout wide receiver Keenan Allen, and seemingly endless debate about the team's future in San Diego. But from a fantasy perspective, the Chargers have actually given us plenty. Philip Rivers […]

Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals For Week 10

It took long enough but it looks like we're finally reaching some level of normalcy among the higher end fantasy wide receivers. Players usually end up being what they are for the year around Week 5 or so but in the case of receivers, it's been a rather wonky year. The consistency we've grown accustomed to took […]

Chris Ivory, Doug Martin, Mark Ingram: Running Backs Showing Warning Signals?

The 2015 fantasy season has essentially become a battle to see who the last team standing is. I mean that as close to literally as possible. There has been so many injuries and disappointing draft picks, especially at the running back position. A week after Le'Veon Bell was lost for the season, New England running back […]

Fantasy Football Fallers: Chris Ivory, Ronnie Hillman, Eli Manning & More

Week 9 had quite a lot of players going off, though rest assured there were still plenty of disappointments to go around. There were also some stat lines that are deceptively strong, but shroud the truth that the game could have been much better. There were also the injuries to Ben Roethlisberger (foot) Teddy Bridgewater […]

Fantasy Football Risers: Jordan Matthews, Derek Carr, Sammy Watkins & More

Where has the time gone? We are knee deep in the second half of the regular season now, and while we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week of football serves to remind us that "any given Sunday" is a real thing. We have upsets, expectations that […]

Bryan Walters (WR, Jax) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Allen Hurns OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bryan Walters needs to slip between two Allens to establish any fantasy worth. That is, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, both of whom continue to break out in Jacksonville. Robinson recently visited Revis Island and was one of few able to penetrate the tightly […]

Baller Move: Pick up in deep, 12-14 team leagues Owned In: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: It's hard to want to start anyone on the Houston Texans whose name is not DeAndre Hopkins.

BALLER MOVE: Add for REB and BLK in Deep H2H Leagues OWNED: 7% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: At this point in his career we know what J.J. Hickson is. He is an excellent rebounder. He's a terrible free throw shooter (which makes him untouchable in roto leagues). He will get you some blocks, but never […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While Kamar Aiken is largely expected to be the man to fill the void left after Steve Smith's injury, Givens has plenty of upside worth talking about.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After seeing Bryan Walters catch 12 balls and receive 16 targets, resulting in 151 yards, it looked like he may be a sneaky waiver wire add.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Houston Texans got a weekend off to prepare for the home stretch, which means they also gave Nate Washington a chance to gear up for a big next few weeks.

Cole Beasley Has Become a Favorite Target of Matt Cassel

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Time to jump back aboard the Cole Beasley train, it seems. Obviously, based on the percentage that he's currently owned, quite a few fantasy owners threw in the towel on him, which was probably the right move before Week 9. Well, Beasley turned […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Doug Martin OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After an early Doug Martin fumble against the New York Giants, Charles Sims appeared to be well on his way to an increased workload and a solid fantasy day.

NBA Waiver Wire: Guards (Week 3)

Two weeks into the season and the waiver wire cupboard for guards is surprisingly empty. Outside of Stephen Curry playing even better than last year and establishing himself as the best player in the league, the guard position has played out the way many thought it would. C.J McCollum has opened eyes to just how […]
