Meyers Leonard (POR, PF/C) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 63% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Meyers Leonard has been on everyone's fantasy radar since the playoffs last season. Unfortunately his performance there hasn't translated to big results early this season. A recent shoulder injury that Leonard sustained probably had fantasy owners, not to mention Blazer fans, even […]

Andrew Nicholson (PF, ORL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Channing Frye put up another goose egg on Tuesday night so it's starting to feel like Andrew Nicholson could become the starting power forward in Orlando. Frye is very streaky and his value depends highly on the three-point shot. While one of […]

Spencer Hawes (PF/C, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deep Leagues OWNED: 1% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues By this point in the season, the dust has settled and we have a pretty good idea how most players are going to perform. That’s why capitalizing on injuries, whether short or long term, is so vital now. It was confirmed earlier […]

Jerami Grant (PHI, PF/SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Hooray! The 76ers finally won a game! In case you couldn't tell that was loaded with thinly veiled sarcasm. Finally getting one in the win column is not totally irrelevant, though--at least not for fantasy purposes. It removes a massive load […]

Danny Amendola Practices, Tom Brady and Co. Set to Pick Apart the Philadelphia Eagles

Good news for the New England Patriots, bad news for the Philadelphia Eagles. Danny Amendola practiced on Wednesday and could be set to take the field Sunday, adding himself to a long list of players that could hurt the Eagles and put up big numbers for fantasy owners. If Amendola is able to play, he will […]

What to Expect From Jordan Zimmermann on the Tigers

The Detroit Tigers took one of the first premier talents out of the free agent pool when they inked starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann to a five-year contract for $110 million. After a 2014 season that saw him go 14-5 with a 2.66 ERA and a no-hitter to wrap it up, Zimmermann had a down year. […]

Marqise Lee Might Start, Peyton Manning Has Cast Removed and a Kendall Wright Update

With Allen Hurns doubtful to play in Week 13, the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to need another receiver to step up and help Blake Bortles in the team’s passing game. Head coach Gus Bradley is hoping that guy can be Marquis Lee. According to the Florida Times Union, Bradley said Lee has a “good shot” […]

Will the Tables Keep Turning for Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford?

Cruising at 6-0, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers faced off against the Denver Broncos in a showdown and showcase of two undefeated teams. But the Broncos defense shut down Rodgers and the suddenly vulnerable Packers offense; the beginning of a midseason collapse for Green Bay. The Packers have lost four of their last five games, […]

Calvin Johnson Expected to Play, Kevin White Itching to Play and Ryan Tannehill Is Excited

Good news for fantasy football players who own Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Megatron is fully expected to play on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to NFL Network’s Albert Breer. I expect Johnson to have a huge day tonight against the Packers. He was also questionable for the team’s Thanksgiving game […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/03/15

It’s Thursday and that means that the NBA schedule is pretty blah yet again. Looking at the schedule tonight, and….oh, wait. Six games on the slate tonight?! What has this world come to when a Thursday during the NBA season features more than just three games? As job-searching Waylon Smithers would announce at the race […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals: Stefon Diggs, Marvin Jones, Brandon LaFell & More

If you've been keeping up with our weekly Warning Signals piece you'd know that I'm a lot more lenient on wide receivers than I am on running backs. I've continuously preached the idea that in general, receivers are more consistent than their RB counterpart. Even in a year that's been given us one of the most unpredictable fantasy seasons […]

With Rob Gronkowski Out, Scott Chandler Should Thrive as Tom Brady’s New Weapon

The National Football League’s best tight end Rob Gronkowski left last week’s game against the Denver Broncos with a very painful knee injury. Gronk owners gasped as they saw him writhing on the ground in considerable pain. Further exams showed no long-term knee damage and Gronk released an uninterrupted video earlier in the week claiming […]

Big Ben Roethlisberger Practices, Martavis Bryant Sits Out With a Hip Injury, DeAngelo Williams an RB1 For Week 13

Ben Roethlisberger left last week’s match-up with the Seattle Seahawks late in the fourth quarter due to blurred vision and concussion-like symptoms. Historically, Big Ben is known to be a tough player so when he comes out of a very close game there should be some concern involved. Conflicting news came out in the beginning […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Though inconsistent in recent weeks, Antonio Andrews should be primed for one of his more productive outings of the season this week against the Jaguars. Andrews has established himself as the clear workhorse back for the Titans and should see enough volume to make him a decent flex play in most standard leagues. With 110 […]

Alfred Morris (RB, WSH) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Atop the horrible NFC East, Redskins fans have to be happy with their team's place in the standings. But fantasy owners who spent an early-round draft pick on Alfred Morris have been disappointed with his inconsistent and declining production. Perhaps Morris has been more important to his real-life team. In four of the five Washington […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) – Waiver Wire Pickups

Despite playing on a team that is full of offensive weapons, Marvin Jones has asserted himself as a useful fantasy option. Jones has 42 catches for 540 yards and three TDs on the season. He is on pace to come close to his numbers from his 2013 season, though he won’t match the 10 TDs. Jones […]

Week 13 Wide Receiver Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Wide receivers are one of the most critical components, and a core building block, for all fantasy football teams. This is especially true in PPR formats, where fantasy owners are rewarded for every catch that a wide receiver makes. We are here to help you plan your wide receiver draft strategy, and to target the […]

Tyrod Taylor: Should You Care About Him With the Playoffs Approaching?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor came into Sunday after looking beaten up with an arm/shoulder injury in that brawl that was the Patriots/Bills game last Monday night, and he was also going on the road to face a Chiefs defense this week that had […]

The Other Rodgers: What Richard Rodgers Can Provide for Owners

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As has been said about Richard, he is reliant on getting into the end zone for his production to be worth it, and unfortunately the Packers have hit a tough stretch recently in the world of scoring touchdowns. They got back […]

Jacob Tamme: What Leonard Hankerson Coming Back Means for His Owners and More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacob Tamme put another good game up on Sunday, catching five of six targets for 69 yards. As you may or may not be aware, Jacob Tamme’s performance seems to be tethered to Leonard Hankerson’s health. When Hankerson doesn’t play, Tamme […]

Can Kyle Rudolph Lead Your Team to Holiday Cheer?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kyle Rudolph put up the highest total for a tight end in Week 11 and followed that up with a disappointing game on Sunday (on the surface). He actually had more targets in Week 12’s effort than he did in Week […]

What to Make of Nate Washington Moving Forward?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: > There’s no questioning that the Houston Texans’ receiving corps is led by DeAndre Hopkins by a pretty wide margin. Nate Washington is not to be overlooked though. Hopkins, Cecil Shorts, and Nate Washington make a pretty sneaky three wide set […]

Why Cecil Shorts Deserves Deep League Love

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In the five games prior to Week 10 (when Cecil Shorts returned from injury) that he had appeared in, Shorts averaged nine targets per game thanks to an offense that frequently finds itself in catchup mode. The Texans also lack a […]

Brandon Bolden: Late Season Lottery Ticket

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Bolden is part of the New England backfield that really doesn’t have much of an identity right now. The Patriots are leaning hard on the arm of Tom Brady in the wake of the multitude of injuries that New […]

Alfred Blue and DeAndre Hopkins Limited; Allen Hurns Unlikely to Play

The Houston Texans have had a lot of bad luck lately when it comes to their running backs. Start Arian Foster hasn’t been able to stay healthy for years, and this season has been no exception. And now backup Alfred Blue is banged up as well. Blue is reportedly dealing with a sore back and […]

Danny Amendola and Calvin Johnson Limited, Vincent Jackson Doesn’t Practice

It is safe to assume that nobody was happier to hear about Rob Gronkowski’s bruised knee that quarterback Tom Brady. Not only will he have Gronk back in a few weeks, Brady can also look forward to having wide receiver Danny Amendola back in the lineup soon. Amendola was limited in practice on Wednesday, but […]

Jonathan Grimes (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Despite some hope that Jonathan Grimes would see an increase in usage for the Texans, his fantasy production has stalled and owners should look elsewhere for deep-league flyers. Arian Foster's injury has allowed Alfred Blue to take over as the workhorse back. Blue has put up decent enough production that Grimes won't see many more […]

Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery Both Great Plays Against 49ers

The Chicago Bears are coming off of their biggest win of the year, a game in which they defeated division rival Green Bay on Thanksgiving.  The Bears didn't play an amazing game, but they did enough to win.  The Bears are seeking a second-straight win this week against a new-look San Francisco 49ers team. When […]

Ryan Mallett Works Out for Ravens, Charcandrick West Practices and Devonta Freeman Cleared

Just when you think former New England Patriots and Houston Texans quarterback Ryan Mallett may never see the football field again, the Baltimore Ravens have come knocking. Mallett worked out with the Ravens on Wednesday, but left without signing a deal. The Ravens are likely just updating their emergency list in case something was to […]
