DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/22/15

Another four-game slate is on tap for this Tuesday. The small amount of games means that cash and 50/50 games are likely to get saturated by randomness and wild cards. But fear not! The Sixers and Lakers are both playing. You could probably get away with stacking Grizzlies and Nuggets in the long run. In […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/22/15

Another four games on this Tuesday night, but there should be plenty of points and value to be had. One game should be a blowout, and while the other should be close, one has a clear advantage in presumed pace. The Lakers and Nuggets both love to push the tempo, so remember that when it […]

Cameron Artis-Payne Can Bring the Pain

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: He easily led the committee out of Carolina, rushing 14 times for 59 yards and catching both of his targets for 34 yards. We don't know yet what Jonathan Stewart's status will be for Week 16, but if he can't go then […]

Donald Brown Could Take you to Title-Town

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 3% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: On Sunday, Melvin Gordon went down with a knee injury and was out for the rest of the game. The reports say that the San Diego rookie has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Enter "Dammit" Donald Brown. For the […]

Championship Waiver Wire Adds - The Fantasy Football Finals

If you've survived this long and are playing into Week 16, then congratulations on being in either your league's championship game or the semifinal matchup (but most of you are probably in your championship week now). This column is for those of you who lost someone to injury in Week 15, are playing some matchups with […]

Week 16 Deeper Sleepers - Fantasy Super Bowl Time

We've made it. For most leagues Week 16 is code for The Fantasy Super Bowl. If that's the case with your league, congrats. Now let's bring that trophy home! Same rules as always - in this column we will be looking at NFL players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. These players can be […]

Week 16 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

  If you're still reading this, congratulations. Championship weekend is upon us, and it's never been more crucial to squeeze every last point out of your lineup. The right defense can make or break a title run, and as always we're here to help you make the right decision. Good luck in Week 16 Rotoballers...may […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 16: Kamar Aiken, Eddie Royal, DeVante Parker

It's Week 16; do you know where your fantasy football team is? If it's still playing games that means something, congratulations! You're among the chosen few still alive. Most leagues have their championship matchups in Week 16, but some wait until Week 17. Either way, the games are kind of important at this point. It […]

Week 16 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Will Tye, Jared Cook and Jordan Cameron

It all comes down to this…for some of you! If you are lucky enough to be alive in the playoffs in your fantasy football league, you are either in your semifinals or you are in the Super Bowl because your league skips the last week of the season.  So every point you get from your […]

Week 16 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins & Johnny Manziel

Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable. Meanwhile Alex Smith fell victim to game flow as the Chiefs went up 21-7 early behind a big Charcandrick West run and a defensive score. […]

Week 16 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 16 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 16 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you […]

Bilal Powell the Jet's Secret Receiving Weapon

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It appears the Jets have finally found a really nice way to utilize Powell out of the backfield. He is showing some strength in his runs and his usually reliable set of hands in the passing game. With defenses trying their […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) and Kenneth Faried (PF, DEN) - DraftKings Stack for 12/22

Jameer Nelson (vs LAL, $5,400) The only team worse than the Nuggets at defending the point is….drumroll, please….the Lakers. Big surprise, right? Truth be told, I am not in love with Nelson here, but he is the best option in an otherwise poor field. Lou Williams presents some value but will most likely be splitting time with D’Angelo Russell […]

James White "Catching On" to Patriot Way

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% owned in Fleaflicker <-- yes I cheated a smidge to include him. ANALYSIS: If James White is somehow still available in PPR leagues you need to get him. Even if standard though, he has proven that he is trusted by Tom Brady in the passing attack […]

James Johnson (SF, TOR) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/22

James Johnson (vs DAL, $3,900) For simple value purposes, Johnson makes sense. Toronto has been reeling offensively and will need anyone to step up. The injury to DeMarre Carroll pushed Johnson into the starting lineup and the recent poor play of Lowry has forced him to become a scorer. Johnson has scored at least 26.25 DraftKings points over his […]

Replacing Shady: K-Will/Gillislee Tandem

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues/Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: Karlos Williams: 46% owned in Fleaflicker / Mike Gillislee: 1% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: LeSean McCoy is reportedly now dealing with a torn MCL and is considered "week-to-week" with a hope that he returns for Week 17. What this means for you is that […]

Spencer Ware Looks to Pound Browns

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware was an "emergency only" option at running back on Sunday (he registered two snaps), so Charcandrick West got to do all of the lifting. If Ware does come back into the fold for Week 16 though, Ware is the bigger guy who […]

Restarting the Christine Michael Hype Train

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 17% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I can't believe I'm finally writing this, but here we are. Christine Michael is your add out of the Seahawks backfield after he ran with purpose against a crappy Cleveland defense, going for 84 yards on 16 carries. When you rush for […]

NBA Centers: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

There are three repeat performers on the waiver wire list this week. They have been here before because they showed flashes of having a potentially sustained stretch of productive basketball. All three have continued to perform and are back because they just can't be ignored anymore. The final waiver wire candidate is a rookie that […]

Jordan Cameron a Desperation TE Play in Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming into the year, what fantasy owners worried most about Cameron was that he had suffered a couple concussions and might be one more away from missing an entire season or even retiring.  But that hasn’t been his problem at all because […]

Jared Cook Can Get Your Team Cookin' Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Play in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The St. Louis pass offense is downright offensive between its lack of talent, lack of execution and lack of creativity. But if the Rams have been doing anything right the past month-plus it has been attempting to force passes to Cook, something […]

Will Tye is Your Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE Streamer OWNED IN: 8% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It is time to jump on the fantasy bandwagon of the man with the short but sweet name.  If you thought he was a fluke then you must have thought Devonta Freeman, Allen Robinson and Jordan Reed were flashes in the pan, […]

NBA Forwards: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello again and welcome to another week of waiver wire decisions and another group of three forwards (one you've seen before from me) who can add a spark to the middle of your lineup. Hopefully these players reach the rosters of Fantasy Basketball Managers in time for them to have a Happy Holidays and cash […]

NBA Guards: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The first two guys are on the waiver wire list this week because you have to go get them now before it's too late. Both have shown in the past that they can produce and are starting to look like they will do it again. The other two guys are injured players looking to make […]

NBA Under-Performing Stars: Center Edition

It’s the holiday season, and I hope everyone is in festive spirits despite the struggles of the center on their roster. There is good news, though. Odds are that you probably weren’t counting on your center being the main scoring contributor for your team anyway. Typically speaking, centers should be very consistent in their production […]
