Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't be fooled by the fact T.Y Hilton is questionable for week 2 versus the New York Jets: Moncrief is a legit option in Indy's passing attack. With questions pertaining who would take hold of the WR3 role between Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett, Moncrief went undrafted […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While Dez Bryant owners are still sobering up to the fact they lost their first round pick for six weeks (at least), those owners desperate for WR are rejoicing.

Week 1 of the NFL saw the favorites win nine of 13 contests. I correctly picked the Jets and Cardinals to win, but unfortunately the Bucs were hammered.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rick Porcello was supposed to be a big part of the Boston Red Sox plans this season and he has fallen short of those expectations. However, Porcello lately has found his way, increasing his K/9 and limiting his ER drastically from even […]

Carl Crawford (OF,LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Who would have thought, after all of the injuries and disappointments and letdowns that Carl Crawford has provided to owners over the past few years, that he would be a viable option for a fantasy baseball playoff run in 2015 for any owner? […]

Mark Canha (1B/OF,OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mark Canha is the type of player you just can't seem to dislike no matter the slump.

Kelly Johnson (1B/2B/3B/OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If someone were to tell you that a veteran journeyman who has struggled to hold down a regular job could help win you your fantasy championship, you'd probably call them crazy.

Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 24

Another mixed bag on the buy side last week, as Patrick Corbin pitched well against the Dodgers, but Jorge de la Rosa was unimpressive and Carlos Rodon had his turn in the rotation skipped.

Andre Ellington's Injury, Battle Between the Johnsons

There were a slew of serious injuries in the first week of the NFL season and Andre Ellington was one of the unfortunate players to suffer one. Ellington suffered a Grade 1 PCL sprain and it has been estimated that he will miss 2-3 weeks. During that time, the Cardinals will have to turn to […]

Down Goes DeSean: How Washington Will Respond

Kirk Cousins had DeSean Jackson open on a fly route down the right sideline, but Cousins overthrew him.

Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Week 2 Matchup Stream OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I can't lie, I didn't expect anything out of Nick Foles against the Seahawks.

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add as Backup QB / Week 2 Matchup Stream OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kaepernick is above 50% as of this writing, but once the waiver period passes, I'm guessing that a lot of people will be dropping Kaep to pick up Marcus Mariota or maybe even a guy like Alex Smith or Andy […]

Week 2 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

This may be an unpopular opinion, but the fantasy performances of Week 1 were largely uninspiring. Only four running backs surpassed 20 points in standard fantasy scoring, as nearly 75 percent of the top 30 ranked running backs failed to live up to Week 1 projections. Still, in the spirit of NFL unpredictability, two of […]
