Doug Baldwin's Big Day Won't Be His Last

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin torched the Steelers for 145 yards and three touchdowns on six receptions in Sunday's wild 39-30 win.

Time to Unleash Jay Ajayi?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point, it may behoove the Dolphins to just run the ball 40 times a game. Ryan Tannehill has looked awful, as has the offense as a whole. OC Bill Lazor was fired today, and his removal should yield more touched […]

Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved […]

Bilal Powell a Must-Own Handcuff

BALLER MOVE: Add as Ivory Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory is the unquestioned top dog in New York, but Bilal Powell is a more-than-capable complement. Prior to his Week 4 injury, Powell had at least 10 carries in each game, and also had 13 catches over the three weeks. Since […]

Give Jamison Crowder One Last Shot

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder has had two consecutive down weeks, but I still believe in the PPR floor he's had for a majority of this season. He unfortunately had a TD taken away from him in Week 12, which would've saved his fantasy day and […]

Devin Funchess Is on the Verge of Erupting

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper/Dynasty Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devin Funchess logged the most snaps of any Panthers wide receiver on Thanksgiving, and it's obvious his role is growing, even if the stat line has yet to really follow. Funchess is a huge target who Newton keeps trying to hit in […]

Grab Kendall Wright Before He Picks up the Pace

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Playing just half of the snaps, Kendall Wright was targeted seven times in Week 12-- but only caught two catches for a meager 19 yards. We've all seen Wright's talent in the past, and he's been top-10 in the league the last two […]

The Chargers Keep Feeding Stevie Johnson the Ball

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Operating as the number one WR for the Chargers, Stevie Johnson finally managed to have a good game for standard leagues. He has been on a PPR tear lately, with at least seven catches in each of his last three games. Johnson's not going […]

James White In Line for More Looks in New England

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a […]

Theo Riddick Flexes His PPR Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Riddick sees very little work between the tackles, but his abilities as a pass-catcher are undeniable. If you're in a standard league, Riddick has less appeal due to his low touchdown total, but in any PPR format he is now a […]

Brock Osweiler Has Earned the Starting Job

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brock Osweiler's win over the Patriots will likely keep him entrenched as the starter for the rest of the year. Sitting at the helm of an offense featuring as many weapons as the Broncos have, he should be able to put up points every […]

Jay Cutler Has an Easy Schedule Ahead

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jay Cutler is coming off a weak game against the Packers on the road, but he has a favorable upcoming schedule, with home games against the 49ers and Redskins and a road trip to Tampa Bay. With Alshon Jeffery and Matt Forte back in […]

Somehow Matt Hasselbeck Keeps Producing

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Hasselbeck is a 40-year-old quarterback who hadn’t been fantasy relevant since 2011. Yet, here he is with four wins and four double-digit fantasy games in four starts. It’s strange, but it’s working. The Steelers' pass defense looked terrible early in the season, and […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Should Carve Up the Giants

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick is coming off of his best game of the season. He threw for four touchdowns and committed no turnovers against the Dolphins. On paper, his Week 13 matchup in a quasi-home game is even better. The Giants allow the most passing […]

Alex Smith Has Been a Model of Consistency

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith continues to deliver solid fantasy performances-- Week 12 was his eighth straight week without a turnover. Now he gets a much much easier matchup with the Raiders, who give up the fourth most points to QBs. That continued this past week, as Marcus […]

Shaun Draughn Continues Being the Niner to Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Continuing to somehow show PPR Value, over the last 3 weeks Draughn has put up the 11th highest average per game amongst RBs in PPR.

Finally Time to Fear Ameer?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Finally! The Lions coaches have come to the decision that they don't want to get fired, so Ameer Abdullah has been reinstated as the lead back. Although Riddick is obviously the 2 minute drill guy, Abdullah will be seeing the majority of the on […]

David Johnson Next Up for Cardinals

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Both Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington suffered injuries on Sunday, making David Johnson the next man up. He's already owned in many leagues thanks to a lot of time he spent vulturing from the two backs ahead of him, but he's still present […]

Who? What? Ware?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware is a big "who?" kind of name. One of the best non-NFL employed talent evaluators Matt Waldman wrote in depth about Ware, and stated when Ware entered the draft that he could be a great NFL-caliber back. Well, Ware showed his […]

Red Sox 'Trying To Move' Ramirez: Sign OF Chris Young

Scherzer signed a seven-year, $210 million deal to leave […]

Mets Unlikely To Give 4th Year To Zobrist

The New York Mets’ top free agent target this off-season is Ben Zobrist, according to FOX Sports. The only problem is that the defending National League champions will unlikely give him a four-year contract, according to ESPN.com. Zobrist will turn 35 early next season. If the Mets decide to give the utility player four years, […]

Week 12 Monday Night Football Analysis: Javorius Allen, Gary Barnidge, Matt Schaub

This is a matchup that doesn't offer much in terms of real life implications. Both teams have had rough seasons and have 26 guys either on injured reserve or that are just out for this game. The players left are a giant pile of fantasy potential just waiting to be sorted through to find that […]

Tyler Eifert Leaves Sunday’s Game Early with Injury, Top Replacements If Needed
