Deep League Waiver Wire: The Final Days

It is the end of days for the 2015 fantasy baseball season and hopefully for many of you, it will be a happy ending. If you are a fantasy baseball manager in a deep or very deep league who needs some last second streaming suggestions, today we will be discussing four batters and a starting […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, and Advice for 9/30

What's up RotoBallers. We've reached the end of our run. I hope my plays have been helpful throughout the year and I've enjoyed being along for the ride with you all. Today we have 18 (!) games on the docket thanks to three rainouts last night, although only 15 will be available to pick from. […]

Tulowitzki (Shoulder) Could Return To Lineup Friday

Troy Tulowitzki is expected to return to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup this weekend against the Tampa Rays in the final series of the regular season. The Toronto shortstop hasn’t had any setbacks to a nagging shoulder issue that has kept him out of the lineup since Sept. 12, which means he’ll likely get some […]

Pierzynski Homers Twice Against Nationals

A.J. Pierzynski hit two solo homers for the only two Atlanta Braves runs as they knocked off the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Tuesday. The veteran catcher was the only Braves hitter that was able to hit Tanner Roark. Pierzynski went 3-for-3 as he had three of the five Atlanta hits on the day. If he’s a […]

Trea Turner Delivers 1st Major League HR Tuesday

Trea Turner hit his first major league home run during Tuesday's loss to the Atlanta Braves. The rookie’s homer was the only bright spot offensively for the Washington Nationals in a 2-1 loss. Turner only has 23 games under his belt and has a .238 BA with 2 SB so far. The infielder can be […]

Steven Matz (Side) Start Moved To Thursday

Steven Matz's scheduled start for Wednesday has been moved to Thursday because of stiffness on his right side. The Mets are giving the starting pitcher another day’s rest to make sure everything is OK. Logan Verrett will move up one day and start on Wednesday in place of Matz. The left-hander will now pitch against […]

Frazier Leaves Game With 'Slight' Strain Of Achilles

Todd Frazier left Tuesday's game with a “slight” strain of his right Achilles tendon. This isn’t the best of news for the Cincinnati Reds but they are hopeful that it isn’t too bad. Either way, the Reds will most likely rest their All-Star third baseman for the rest of the season. Frazier left game with […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Bye Week Fill-In OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Staying on the trend of bye-week replacements, Tom Brady and Marcus Mariota owners are going to need a contingency plan this week. Why not give the Harvard Grad a shot? Fitzpatrick has now thrown at least two touchdowns in each game […]

Richard Rodgers (TE, GB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Calling all Rob Gronkowski and Delanie Walker owners. Here's where we enter the bye-week fillers section of our segment. Grabbing a share of the Green Bay offense is never a bad idea, and there's a good chance Richard Rodgers sees an increased role […]

Kenny Britt (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you go on WebMD and search for "migraine symptoms" you'll find Kenny Britt as the fourth-leading factor. A head-case on and off the field, Britt came through for owners willing to roll the dice in week 3 versus a putrid Steelers defense […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Risers

Many were very worried about whether Mike Evans would get on the same page with Jameis Winston, as well as be used effectively by Lovie Smith and company in Tampa. Well, those questions weren't really answered cleanly. Evans actually finished Week 3 tied with Steve Smith for the third most targets on the week with […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Fallers?

This was the first quarterback off of draft boards more often than not, and while Aaron Rodgers casually drops five touchdowns on the Chiefs on Monday Night, Andrew Luck struggles yet again against the Tennessee Titans defense before staging a late comeback. As the game was happening, my friend was talking to me about buying […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Fallers

What the heck Teddy? Bridgewater was looking amazing in the preseason (I know, I know) and seemed poised to take steps forward with a growing Charles Johnson, the return of Adrian Peterson, and the acquisition of Mike Wallace. This has not happened. His overall numbers are being somewhat salvaged by a solid Week 2 effort […]

Golden Tate (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Fallers

The Lions have not looked too good so far, and Matthew Stafford being banged up helps nothing. That being said, Golden Tate has not started this year strong. Tate's line so far in 2015: 24 targets, 15 receptions, 161 yards and 0 touchdowns. Another piece of this that scares me is that out of those […]

Doug Martin (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Fallers

Originally, Doug Martin was going to be one of the "obvious" examples at the beginning of the piece, but I watch Tampa Bay a bunch and others might (should) not right now. Tampa Bay's offensive line is terrible. There's no hope right now. It's in shambles. The highest rated player according to ProFootballFocus is Evan […]

Fantasy Football Fallers - Carlos Hyde, Anquan Boldin, Colin Kaepernick

The entire San Francisco offense is on my fallers list following Week 3. I like doing this. Don't hate on blanket statements, they can be efficient sometimes. It shouldn't be news to anyone that the 49ers were absolutely embarrassed in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers are an interesting case. One couldn't get much […]

Latavius Murray (RB, OAK) - Fantasy Football Risers

This went according to plan. The Cleveland Browns were not an imposing defense against the run by any means, but the first stretch of the game still didn't see Latavius benefiting much from Oakland moving the ball. For all the awesomeness that Derek Carr and the Raiders' receiving corps were bringing to the table (yes, […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Risers

Maclin and his owners were suffering with a big fat goose egg after one half of play on Monday Night Football. Then he exploded in the second half, finishing with 11 targets, 8 receptions, 141 yards and a touchdown. Now, it's not promising at all in my eyes that it took a huge hole for […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Risers

Rishard Matthews is one of those guys who was pretty easy to look at after two weeks of decent stat lines and write off as fluky. If you read this last week, you hopefully already snagged him, but all the same this is a guy who deserves attention because of the aura of skepticism about […]

LeGarrette Blount (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Risers

Yes, it took an absolute massacre for Blount to really see the field over Dion Lewis (who still looks good out there), but this is still a huge step up from the questions raised after a no show in Week 2. While it appears to be the Dion show first, Blount showed that is still […]

Is Charles Clay about to Tear Up the Giants in Week 4?

In his first season in Buffalo, Clay looks like he’s been there for all five years of his career. This past week in Miami, Clay juked his way past three of his former teammates for a 25 yard score en route to five receptions for 82 yards. This was Clay’s best game of the season, but […]

FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 4 Waiver Wire Targets

Week 3 is in the books, and we now have three data points to go off amidst our speculation and preconceived notions. Some teams are sitting pretty at 3-0 and enter the first wave of Bye Week Blues without desperation. Some have started 0-3, and need to open themselves up to risk taking behavior. This […]

Houston Texans Sign Kicker Nick Novak, Release Randy Bullock

The Houston Texans have made a change at kicker. The team has released Randy Bullock and signed former San Diego Chargers kicker Nick Novak. The decision was made just two days after Bullock missed a 43-yard field goal attempt and an extra point attempt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Novak had a great career with […]

Report: Browns Players Want Johnny Manziel to Start

Several unnamed players for the Cleveland Browns have told TMZ that they want the team to start quarterback Johnny Manziel over Josh McCown for the rest of the season. The report quoted three anonymous starters on offense. "You can’t get better unless you play. We won when he played and coach has got to trust […]

Patriots Release Potential PPR Gold Travaris Cadet

With Dion Lewis having a spectacular start to the season, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have decided they could afford to cut ties with Travaris Cadet. It will be very interesting to see where Cadet lands. If he lands in the right spot, he may be worth a roster spot, eventually PPR leagues. […]

Packers TE Andrew Quarless Out With Sprained MCL

It's a good thing Aaron Rodgers has never really liked throwing to tight ends because he'll be without Andrew Quarless for the next 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL. Quarless isn't expected to be a huge loss from a fantasy perspective since he was mostly used as a blocking tight end. In fact, he has […]

Eric Ebron (DET, TE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (FAAB Bid: $6 - 8) OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Pettigrew was out again, and so Ebron played almost every snap for the Lions. Unfortunately, Pettigrew will probably come back soon from his hamstring injury and cut into Ebron's snaps. Ebron goes from being on the field for 90% […]

Owen Daniels (DEN, TE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues (FAAB Bid: $2 - 5) OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Owen Daniels had some owners very hopeful for a bit of a renaissance with Peyton Manning at the helm. No one expected him to be Julius Thomas, but they certainly wanted a piece of the action that is the […]

Week 3 NFL Recap: Injuries & Game by Game Analysis

Is it me or has the 2015 NFL fantasy season been predominantly determined by injuries and underperforming superstars? Nearly every game on the slate has a storyline featuring the injury bug or a lackluster showing from a highly drafted stud. Either way, the goal as per usual here is to make heads or tails of […]
