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 […]

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 […]

Week 15 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 15 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 15 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you […]

James White's Role Growing for Pats

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's still a difficult split happening between James White and Brandon Bolden, and despite Bolden out-touching White 14 to 1 on the ground, it's White that's showing more significant fantasy value. Maybe that's because he actually gets used in the redzone over […]

Add Denard Robinson for Your Fantasy Playoffs

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: T.J. Yeldon left week 14 with a left knee sprain and in his place came Denard Robinson. The timetable for Yeldon's return has not been set yet (as of Monday morning) but with so few games remaining, if you get just one game […]

Tim Hightower a High Pickup Priority

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Had the Mark Ingram news been made sooner, Hightower would've been on last weeks list. Hightower isn't much of a skilled player as he plodded is way to 85 yards on 28 carries but with that kind of volume, who really cares? The […]

Royals Sign Dillon Gee To Minor League Contract

The Kansas City Royals signed free agent pitcher Dillon Gee to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, according to CBS Sports. The right-hander was last seen in MLB last season as a starter with the New York Mets. Gee was giving the boot once the rookie sensations were called up to […]

Week 15 Deeper Sleepers: The Race for Tim Hightower and Which Seahawks Back to Own

If you're still actively looking for research on sleepers for fantasy football, congrats on making this far and you have a deep league. Hopefully your team was set at QB/TE because Brian Hoyer and Luke Willson were dreadful, while Shaun Draughn was average at best. I apologize for the poor calls and accept all rotten tomatoes […]

Cueto Signs With Giants

The San Francisco Giants have agreed to a contract with free agent pitcher Johnny Cueto, according to ESPN.com. The right-hander will sign a six-year, $130 million deal, pending a physical. There’s an opt-out clause after the 2017 season. This comes a few weeks after Cueto declined a six-year, $120 million offer from the Arizona Diamondbacks. […]
