Blake Bortles, An Elite Waiver Wire Pickup?

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 38% owned in Fleaflicker Don't move too quickly to the waiver wire, as Bortles still looks very skittish and easily alarmed in the pocket and is now reportedly dealing with a Grade 1 sprain in his AC Joint (which has a small effect on throwing motion, but the worst is when […]

Is Brian Hoyer A Worthy Waiver Add for Week 6

FAAB Bid: $2 - 3, 8% owned in Fleaflicker I've got to include a desperation option, or for those in competitive two quarterback leagues. Ryan Mallett needed to take a play off, and Brian Hoyer never gave the starting gig back on Thursday night. Texans' Head Coach Bill O'Brien has pivoted back to Brian Hoyer as […]

Lagares Starting Game 3 In CF: Cuddyer Benched Again

Juan Lagares will start in center field again for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for the second straight day. The New York Mets will go with the same lineup that produced 13 runs during Game 3 on Monday. Lagares went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three […]

Cano (Sports Hernia) Undergoes Surgery

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a sports hernia. Cano has been dealing with the injury throughout the second half of the season. The surgery was a success and the six-time All-Star will require six weeks of recovery time. He should be good enough be at Seattle’s Spring Training. […]

Puig (Hamstring) Starts Game 4 For Dodgers

Yasiel Puig will make his first start of the 2015 postseason on Tuesday for Game 4 against the New York Mets. The combination of a late-season hamstring strain and all right-handers for the Mets have caused a banged up Puig to come off the bench for the Dodgers. Since left-hander Steven Matz is on the […]

Molina (Thumb) Not In Cards Game 4 Lineup

Yadier Molina is not in the St. Louis Cardinals starting lineup for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Molina was set to be in the lineup, but Cardinals manager Mike Matheny decided to sit the 33-year-old because of the ongoing pain in his thumb. Tony Cruz will get his first […]

Joe Flacco Still Underowned, Strong Week 6 Matchup Awaits

FAAB Bid: $3 - 4, 58% owned in Fleaflicker Perhaps people dropped him for a hotter option since Steve Smith Sr. went down with an injury, and it is noteworthy that most of Flacco's value against the Browns came from his legs (two rushing touchdowns). That said, he gets to face the San Francisco secondary that […]

PGA DFS: DraftKings Fantasy Golf Sleeper Picks and Advice for the Frys.com Open

The last tournament was played two weeks ago and now golf is back! Wait, is that a good thing? I really wish there were a little golf break as to really make me miss the game. Unfortunately there is none. Watching golf on weekends will become immensely more difficult with football in the mix. Golf in the winter […]

Justin Forsett Owners Must Add Javorius Allen

FAAB Bid: $3 - 5, 8% owned in Fleaflicker Don't look now, but the Ravens are running really thin on running backs. Justin Forsett does appear to have managed the dreaded high ankle sprain, but his health is a question mark going into Week 6. Lorenzo Taliaferro is usually Forsett's backup, but he himself missed Week […]

Jay Cutler Should Not Be On Any Week 6 Waiver Wires

FAAB Bid: $3 - 4, 40% owned in Fleaflicker Look, he gets a bum rap, but he pulled out a victory for the Bears against the Chiefs - even though he was missing his top two wide receivers and was working with the backup center. As of Monday midday, he is the QB12 scoring-wise on Fleaflicker, meaning […]

Theo Riddick Is A Sneaky PPR Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 (PPR Leagues), 15% owned in Fleaflicker Riddick deserves a lot more love in PPR leagues, but it turns out he's not a total throwaway in standard leagues either. Ameer Abdullah fumbled the ball twice in the first half of the Lions' game against the Arizona Cardinals, and he was benched for […]

Allen Hurns Is A Priority Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 54% owned in Fleaflicker I said last week not to think of Hurns as the lead dog in Jacksonville, and Allen Robinson did come back to show that he is the number one for the Jaguars this week. That said Hurns was again great, posting another 116 yard and one touchdown […]

Fantasy Basketball Sleepers: Undervalued NBA Players We Love in 2015-16

It is only two weeks until the NBA season tips off with the Chicago Bulls hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 27.  Leading up to then, thousands of hardcore fans will be drafting their yearly fantasy basketball teams and doing the research to help them crush daily fantasy leagues in 2015.  Rotoballer is excited too, […]

Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Priority Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

22% Owned in Fleaflicker Honestly, Willie Snead should have been included in last week's segment. Snead continued his emergence as a top option in the Saints' passing attack, racking up six catches on 11 targets for 141 yards. His 11 targets led the team in Week 5. There's reasonable debate as to who is the top receiver […]

Marcel Reece (RB, OAK) - Deeper Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

15% Owned in Fleaflicker Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.. you get the idea. After stating that Latavius Murray was not benched in Week 4, Raiders Head Coach Jack Del Rio rolled with Jamize Olawale, Roy Helu, and Marcel Reese in the second half on Sunday. Del Rio stated after the loss […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Deeper Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

21% Owned in Fleaflicker Here's a name you've had shoved down your throats by fantasy pundits (myself included) only to see marginals returns to this point. He only has four catches on eight targets for 49 yards, so it's understandable why most owners have jumped ship. But it's time to consider giving the rookie a […]

Benjamin Watson (TE, NO) - Deeper Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

8% Owned in Fleaflicker We're officially running on fumes for sleeper tight ends. The Saints offense continues to be a work in progress, with roles still being solidified from wide receiver (hello, Willie Snead) to tight end. A lot of preseason hype was given to Josh Hill to take over for Jimmy Graham, but that […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

25% Owned in Fleaflicker Back to the Harvard well! We focused on Fitzy in our Week Four edition and he returned modest results (16.72 in standard scoring). He gets the call here... well mainly because the options are so slim. Seriously, here your other options that are owner in under 25% of leagues: Kirk Cousins (at NYJ), […]

Can Charles Sims Get You Wins Off The Waiver Wire?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's really unfortunate that Doug Martin had such a great Sunday because Charles Sims continues to show flashes of being a very effective running back. Martin scored all the touchdowns on Sunday, but Sims was no slouch, carrying the ball […]

Charcandrick West's Value Going North Fast

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'll admit, I feel strange typing this name. Back in week 1, myself along with every analyst in the world would have told you that without a doubt, Knile Davis was the Jamaal Charles handcuff. However, in the past few weeks, people […]

Is Zach "Doc" Zenner the Remedy for Detroit's Rushing Woes?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Zenner, or 'Doc' as his teammates call him referring to his eventual desire to go to Medical School, is starting to get some opportunities in the Detroit backfield. His opportunity started with an injury to Joique Bell, and has continued with […]

Javorius Allen A Glorious Week 6 Waiver Option?

BALLER MOVE: Add as Handcuff / Injury Fill-in OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Javorius Allen showed off the talent that we all heard about during the preseason on Sunday, taking the ball eight times for 58 yards. Let's not kid ourselves, this job is still firmly Justin Forsett's. However, Forsett went down with […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/13/15

Antonio Gates (SD, TE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in ALL Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Wow, Antonio Gates didn't skip a beat. After missing the first four games of the season due to a PED suspension, the 35 year-old kicked off his 2015 campaign in style. The veteran recorded 92 receiving yards and two touchdowns. It's pretty clear […]

Theo Riddick (DET, RB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Detroit Lions' running game is a mess right now. It's bad news for them and their fans, but good news for those of you who have Theo Riddick available in your fantasy leagues. Joique Bell's injury opened up the door for Ameer […]

Ty Montgomery (GB, WR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Short Term Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Davante Adams is struggling with an ankle injury, which has given Ty Montgomery a chance to get some more looks from Aaron Rodgers. On Sunday against the Rams, we saw Montgomery reap the benefits of these added targets with a […]

Week 6 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Week 5 of NFL action brought a lot of surprises and bad news for many. The most glaring concern is the injury to Chiefs star running back Jamaal Charles. The diagnosis of a torn ACL means that the oft-injured Charles is done for the season, opening up the door for two relatively-unproven half backs and […]

Minnesota Vikings - Defense Streamer For Week 6

The honest truth is that no D/ST matchup looks particularly appetizing on the waivers. Of what remains, the Vikings show the best chance to overwhelm their opponent. With Jamaal Charles out for the Chiefs, the biggest threat in the game is gone. It's likely that the Vikings choose to spend a lot of time trying […]

Jacob Tamme (TE, ATL) - Tight End Add For Week 6

When Leonard Hankerson got injured, it was Jacob Tamme who picked up the slack on his way to eight receptions and 94 yards. If Hankerson's injury continues to bother him, or maybe the offense realizes that Tamme might be worth throwing to, there's a lot of value to be had. Kyle Shanahan has worked with […]
