Grab Tevin Coleman While Freeman Recovers

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There was so much hype surrounding Tevin Coleman leading up to this year's fantasy drafts. It was clear he wasn't the right fit for Kyle Shanahan's scheme - but the highlight-reel-making player was viewed highly and was even given the starting job […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Guards (Week 5)

We're about a month into the NBA season now, and RotoBaller is looking at guards in today's waiver wire column. There are two categories of potential waiver wire stars this week. First, there are some young potential players looking to establish themselves on really bad teams. Second, we have a few veterans who are outplaying […]

Spencer Ware a Great Injury Replacement

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 1% 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, in about two […]

Javorius "Buck" Allen the Back to Add in Baltimore

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Forsett out for the year, Javorius Allen is likely to get first crack at the job - if it doesn't turn into a committee. I make that distinction because Allen wasn't a college player that seemed like he'd make a successful NFL […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 12 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Thomas Rawls, Buck Allen, Jameis Winston & More

While Week 8 was still the biggest fantasy football graveyard week for injuries, Week 11 was certainly no picnic either (and Monday Night Football has yet to go, bubble wrap your players). Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out, […]

Thomas Rawls a Must-Add

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rawls faces the unfortunate issue of having Marshawn Lynch on his team. If Lynch returns, Rawls likely loses all value because of the Seahawks showing nothing regarding putting Lynch on the bench in favor of him. Rawls is still a must own in […]

Zach Miller: Another Vintage Name That Can Help You

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We all waited one week to jump aboard the Miller bandwagon after he shocked the fantasy nation with his 107 yards and two touchdowns two weeks ago.  There was no reason to think that performance was anything other than an aberration, no […]

Can You Trust Kamar Aiken or Crockett Gilmore With Joe Flacco and Justin Forsett Out?

The Baltimore Ravens are having the most disappointing season in the NFL. Despite being a consistent playoff participant for years, Baltimore is nowhere near contention this season and has a 3-7 record. The Ravens have suffered heartbreaking defeats to opposing teams but the biggest losses have come in the form of injuries. Rookie Breshad Perriman […]

Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy Combine to Overcome Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings

“R-E-L-A-X.” Last year, according to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, there was no better way for the famous cheeseheads of Green Bay to calm their racing hearts when the Packers struggled to perform out on the open field. Though it’s likely that little has changed in the mental makeup of Wisconsin’s favorite quarterback, this year, it appears […]

Brock Osweiler Starting Over Peyton Manning in Week 12, Good For Broncos Fantasy Stars?

The Denver Broncos have announced that Brock Osweiler will start at quarterback in Week 12 against the New England Patriots in place of Peyton Manning. It remains unsure whether this decision was made due to the injury concerns regarding Manning, the effective play of Osweiler or a combination of both. Osweiler delivered the best quarterback […]

Jameis Winston, Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson Could Be Big for Fantasy Owners

Apart from Deflategate, coming into this season, one of the biggest storylines had to do with how well Jameis Winston would handle the transition from the college game to the NFL. While he’s had his bumps and bruises along the way, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 11 matchup against Chip Kelly and the struggling Philadelphia […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel & DraftKings DFS Basketball Advice for 11/24/15

Congratulations to the Philadelphia 76ers! The Sixers finally won their first game on Monday night over the Minnesota Timberwolves after blasting out of the gate in the first half.  The Sixers continue to find ways to lose. It's gotten to the point where it's not even laughable anymore. It's just plain sad. It's also upsetting for […]

Tyler Lockett Has Become a Primary Option in Seattle

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has emerged as the Seahawks' most dangerous weapon in the passing game, as evidenced by his 48-yard, two-touchdown showing Sunday against the 49ers. The speedy rookie also caught a long touchdown in Week 7, and has a pair of return […]

Cecil Shorts Is Fantasy Relevant With Any Quarterback

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts had 51 receiving yards, 26 rushing yards and a 21-yard passing touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Jets. The rushing yards and passing touchdown are obviously fluky, but Shorts will continue to see a fair share of targets in the passing […]

Leonard Hankerson Is Shaking off the Rust

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Leonard Hankerson returned to action for the first time since Week 7 in Sunday's loss to the Colts, and the results were mixed. He finished with four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown, but also dropped a handful of passes. Some […]

J.J. Nelson's Breakout Game Is a Sign of Things to Come

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Hopefully you stayed up Sunday night to watch Nelson put on a show in the Cardinals' home win over the Bengals.

Vernon Davis' Resurrection Continues in Denver

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Looks like Davis is grasping Denver’s playbook! He is coming off his best game of the 2015 campaign after catching six passes for 68 yards against the Chicago Bears.  And even with fellow tight end Owen Daniels also contributing four passes for […]

Brent Celek a Good TE Option in Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I featured San Francisco’s Garrett Celek, Brent’s little brother, last week.  I also featured Zach Ertz, Brent’s teammate, in the column.  And yet here we are, one week later, and the spotlight now shines on Brent. Celek had been a fantasy zero […]

Week 12 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Brent Celek, Vernon Davis and Zach Miller

There are no more byes to worry about, boys and girls. All healthy tight ends will be on the field this week and ready to rack up yards and touchdowns for their fantasy owners.  So combing your league’s waiver wire for a decent tight end is probably not as necessary as it has been over […]

Who Ya Got: Yasiel Puig or Gregory Polanco?

With the unprecedented dominance on display from young players, it's easy to view the ones who struggle with more disappointment than might be merited. We talked about Jorge Soler and Marcell Ozuna yesterday, but they weren't the only highly-touted young outfielders who stumbled in 2015. Today we'll take a closer look at another pair: Yasiel […]

MLB Bust Players At 1B and 3B - What It Means for 2016

Welcome back, readers. Hopefully you've enjoyed the first three segments of this series as we look further into players that broke out in 2015 and others that received the "bust" label.

Week 12 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Jameis Winston, Brock Osweiler, Johnny Manziel

In Week 11, all three of my waiver wire streamers from last week's column reached double digits, but none of them really went off. I felt like Ryan Fitzpatrick really didn’t play well at all but he saved his day with a rushing score. On the opposite end, Alex Smith had a great game with […]

Devin Funchess Is Slowly Emerging

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It seems like Devin Funchess' role in this offense is quietly growing, and he's even earning some praise from Ron Rivera, who called him Kelvin Benjamin-esque after his big second half against the Redskins. I actually liked Funchess as a prospect and really […]

Marquess Wilson Thriving in Larger Role

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marquess Wilson was a hyped receiver at one point for the Bears. Expected to man the slot between Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery in 2014, coaches in Chicago were really looking forward to seeing him. With Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal missing, Wilson took […]

Orioles Want To Bring Parra Back

The Baltimore Orioles are interested in signing Gerardo Parra to a new contract, according to ESPN.com. The outfielder was dealt to the Orioles at the deadline this past season. Parra didn’t do as well with the Orioles as he was doing with the Milwaukee Brewers for the first half of the season. He finished the […]

Don't Quit on Kendall Wright Just Yet

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ownership has fallen for Kendall Wright due to injuries, so there's not much need to explain why he's here.

Terrance Williams Finds Himself in a More Comfortable Role

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Terrance Williams was obviously not going to play well as the number one wide receiver with backup quarterbacks throwing to him. Now back to his role as number two, Williams is regaining some fantasy value, especially with Tony Romo back under center. […]
