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 […]

Tyler Kroft Next Man Up in Cinci

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Can you believe Pittsburgh’s Mike Mitchell concussed another player?  Can you believe Cincinnati has two tight ends named Tyler on their roster?  And can you believe that Tyler Kroft could actually help someone win their fantasy league? Kroft should be the next […]

Zach Miller From the Streets of Chicago

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There were obviously several fantasy owners who ignored my advice to pick Miller up a couple weeks ago because Martellus Bennett was still active, on the field and catching Jay Cutler’s passes.  But now that Bennett has been banished to injured reserve, […]

Add Austin Sefarian-Jenkins for Strong Finish

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Hey, hey! Seferian-Jenkins stayed healthy for two games in a row! So this means he should be safe to steal off the waiver wire if he is still available in your league. It is amazing how well rookie quarterback Jameis Winston has […]

Frazier Could Be Traded To Indians, White Sox, Royals Or Dodgers

The Indians, White Sox, Royals, and Dodgers are all interested in a possible trade for Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier, according to USA Today. It seems very likely that Frazier will likely be gone before the 2016 season begins. The two-time All-Star third baseman is quietly becoming one of the biggest trade pieces this […]

NBA Centers: Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The center market is filled with young guys getting a chance. One of these players is due to break out this season and establish himself as a valuable rotation to a fantasy lineup. Actually, there's a chance all four guys could be that by the end of the year...there's also the chance none of them […]

Every Monday and Thursday, long time RotoBaller lead writer Sam Nedimyer and podcast host Josh Hayes will be discussing […]

Isaiah Thomas (PG, BOS) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/15

Isaiah Thomas (vs CLE, $7,700) The suspension of Rajon Rondo leaves Thomas as the premier point guard for cash game plays. Thomas has really taken advantage of his chances with Marcus Smart out. He is averaging 1.17 DraftKings fantasy points per minute and has been consistently putting in 34+ minutes every start. Though Cleveland is known as a defensive efficient team, […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/15

DeMarcus Cousins (vs HOU, $10,200) If you want to pay up here for Boogie, I get it. I really do. The dude has exceptional potential to absolutely crush the Rockets by himself. Houston trails only the Sixers in fantasy points allowed to opposing power forwards. But Boogie has been rather erratic over the last two weeks and […]

Zach LaVine (PG, MIN) - DraftKings Sleeper for 12/15

Zach LaVine (vs DEN, $5,500) Jameer Nelson, Darren Collison and Patrick Beverley are all cheaper than LaVine and all have plus matchups in their respective games, so all three could be owned heavily in all formats. Even LaVine’s teammate Ricky Rubio looks like a solid play. But if you’re trying to win a tournament, you gotta select a guy that perhaps no […]

O.J. Mayo (SG, MIL) and Jabari Parker (PF, MIL) - Stack on FanDuel 12/15

O.J. Mayo (at LAL, $4,900) With two of Milwaukee's backcourt guards out with injuries for a few games, Mayo should continue to rack up minutes at the point guard position. He has cooled down in his past few contests, but he likes to shoot the ball. A game against the Lakers at this price is […]

Darren Collison (PG, SAC) - Sleeper on FanDuel 12/15

Darren Collison (vs HOU, $5,000) The point guard position is pretty cut-and-dry on Tuesday. Collison will be starting in place of Rajon Rondo, who's serving his one-game suspension. With the amount of minutes that the backup guard will likely get, this price tag is too low to ignore. The matchup and pace of the game […]

James Harden (SG, HOU) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/15

James Harden (at SAC, $10,700) Here's where I won't be getting cute. Harden is the best play on the board in what should be another fast-paced game for him. It's almost better that he got off to a slow start on Monday, because he seems to never have two slow games in a row. The only […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire - Replacing Thomas Rawls, Mark Ingram, T.J. Yeldon & More

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Fifteen Week 14 of the NFL season ends with the Patriots putting down the Texans and any hopes that Brian Hoyer had of a revenge game. Week 14 also saw Cam Newton continue to stuff the MVP ballot box, Russell Wilson ruin a Jimmy Clausen-led team for the second time this year, along with Todd […]

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

It’s a rather weird slate for Tuesday. There are only four games but at least three of the four should be rather high scoring and each roster has low level and mid-tier players that are projected to get serious minutes. This means that tournaments and cash games will most likely have high scoring numbers. Good […]

Week 15 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Zach Miller and Tyler Kroft

Unless you are in a fantasy football league that does not believe in a postseason and goes by cumulative point totals (which is silly), your league is in the thick of the playoffs and hopefully your squad qualified for them. This is not the time to make a boneheaded Leon Lett-like decision if you are […]

Please note, value is somewhat […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 15 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Kirk Cousins, Tim Hightower and Ted Ginn

So Week 14 is now pretty much in the books and we have a few serious injuries that shake things up a little. Thomas Rawls broke his ankle and will miss the remainder of the year. Andy Dalton seems to have broken the thumb on his throwing hand and will be out for the rest […]

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

Only four games this Tuesday, so finding ways to be unique will be important if you're a tournament player. Finding that bench player who goes off for 7x value might be what gets you a good chunk of change by the end of the night. Let's see if we can find someone like that. In […]
