Conforto Serves As DH For WS Game 2

Michael Conforto will serve as the DH for Game 2 of the World Series instead of playing left field like he did for Game 1 on Tuesday. After a blunder with Yoenis Cespedes in the outfield that led to an inside-the-park home run, Conforto will play but not play the field on Wednesday against the […]

Chris Ivory Not Practicing and Eddie Lacy Is Finally 100 Percent

New York Jets running back Chris Ivory was not seen practicing on Wednesday due to a quad injury. His fantasy owners should keep a close eye on his status for week 8 against the Oakland Raiders. As of right now we believe he should be able to play. After all, he did play through the […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The meter is rising once again for Teddy Bridgewater, coming off his best start of the year. Emerging rookie wideout Stefon Diggs brings a new dimension to the Vikings' offense, and that benefits their second-year signal caller immensely. The Vikings have […]

Zach Ertz (TE, PHL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: A popular sleeper pick at TE each year of his career, Zach Ertz still hasn't materialized into the fantasy asset that many thought he could be.

Eddie Royal (WR, Chi.) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In Week 6, before the Bears' bye week, veteran wideout Eddie Royal looked spry and fully recovered from an ankle sprain that had him "questionable" all week.

Albert Wilson (WR, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Albert Wilson - WR, K.C. BALLER MOVE: Add only in deepest leagues for WR depth OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Albert Wilson received increased playing time last week when top wideout Jeremy Maclin was a late scratch Sunday morning due to concussion symptoms.

Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Ind. BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues. ANALYSIS: It only seems as though Ahmad Bradshaw has been around since the Jim Fassel era. In reality, he's just 29. He's also back with the Colts after testing free agency and enduring a one-game suspension for marijuana possession. The fact no teams […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The Ravens have struggled this year (1-6), even though they have been in position to win almost every game. Joe Flacco hasn't lived up to his clutch reputation and has thrown three picks in drives that could have tied or won the game. But Flacco (61% owned) should still be on fantasy rosters in almost […]

Jose Mourinho Is Now The Worried One

Experts say one week is a long time in football. What about one month?

Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Avoid in all formats OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one has ever questioned Colin Kaepernick's raw talent. He has all the physical tools to succeed, but the consistency simply isn't there this season. He's torn apart the Steelers (335 yards, 2 TDs), Giants (262 yards, 2 TDs) and Ravens (340 yards, 2 TDs), […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start as bye-week replacement OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell's fantasy value is almost exclusively tied to touchdowns. That is, when he scores them, he has value. When he doesn't ... well, he's not going to give you much else. The New York Giants' starting tight end has been targeted at […]

La Liga - A Three Horse Race Again?

For the last three seasons, the Spanish La Liga has seen the same three teams occupy the top three slots – Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Chris Ivory, Andre Ellington, Justin Forsett: Running Backs With Warning Signals?

I should tell you right off the bat that it's gotten increasingly difficult to identify running backs that warrant discussing for this list. The truth is, finding players that are genuinely struggling as opposed to just flat out bad is like finding a needle in a haystack at this point. Even with that little disclaimer […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had to navigate some pretty treacherous waters recently with most of his crew below deck nursing their respective ailments.

Roddy White (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re in deeper leagues you could do a lot worse than Roddy White.

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 7 was very disappointing for Dorial Green-Beckham and his owners, as well as the Tennessee Titans.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle may still not have been 100% with his hamstring going into Week 7, though he should be darn close.

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Leonard Hankerson was ruled out of Week 7’s game against the Titans with a hamstring injury.

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Nate Washington had a heck of a game on Sunday against the Dolphins as he racked up garbage time stats.

Kamar Aiken (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely with his PCL injury requiring more rehabilitation, Aiken is in line to continue seeing snaps for Baltimore.
