Looking Back at Cam Newton and Jameis Winston Tossing 5 Touchdown Passes

Apparently, the days of sitting back on a lazy Sunday afternoon to watch the likes of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees toss touchdown pass after touchdown pass or long gone. It’s not that the aforementioned aren’t picking apart unsuspecting defenses all over the NFL, it’s just that a select group of younger quarterbacks […]

Believe It or Not, Brock Osweiler Proves Better Than Peyton Manning

There are a few things in life that are nearly impossible to imagine ever happening. Seriously, from pigs flying to the Chicago Cubs winning a World Series title, as human beings, we’ve become fairly comfortable with the certainty of what surrounds us. Sure, from time to time, there’s an event or two which shakes things […]

Teddy Bridgewater a Worthy Addition as QB2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% owned in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: If you're relying on Teddy Bridgewater as a starter at this point in the season, you're probably in the midst of a tough season. He's just not consistent or productive enough to be a reliable starter at this point in his […]

Why Ted Ginn Is No More Than a Stash WR

BALLER MOVE: Stash in deep 12-14 team leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ted Ginn was limited in practice on Monday but practiced in full on Tuesday according to CBS Sports. That's good news for fantasy owners of Ginn and those looking to pick him up off the wire. It should definitely be surprising that […]

Why We'll See Good Kirk Cousins in Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Pick up and start Week 12 OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a rough season for quarterbacks. But if injuries and poor play have done anything beside make fantasy owners scratch their heads in annoyance, it has opened opportunities elsewhere to unlikely producers. Enter Kirk Cousins. Unclear whether Robert Griffin III would play […]

Why You Should Let Isaiah Crowell Sit in FA

BALLER MOVE: Leave on the waiver wire OWNED IN: 65% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns have averaged 75.6 rushing yards per game, the second fewest in the NFL. Crowell has a measly 328 rushing yards on 107 attempts, and only one rushing touchdown to go with it. After season-highs of 72 and 63 rushing […]

Ahmad Bradshaw Worth a PPR Flier

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Let's have some fun with numbers, shall we? Running back Ahmad Bradshaw has played in 15 games over the last two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. In those 15 games, he has nine receiving touchdowns (11 overall). Compare that with his […]

Josh Huff Flying High as a Deep League Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The situation in Philadelphia is getting ugly. That game against Tampa Bay was a total embarrassment. For whatever reason, Mark Sanchez has not been able to recreate his chemistry with Jordan Matthews and as a result Josh Huff is getting some extra looks. […]

Cecil Shorts Not Short on Tricks in Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts III was a jack of all trades on Sunday against the Jets. He threw for a touchdown, caught two passes, and ran the ball four times. I'm not saying Shorts is a threat to get one of each type of […]

James White Got Green Light on Monday Night

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The slew of injuries continue for the New England Patriots. Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson went down for the Pats on Monday and their receiving corps is running very thin. The Patriots are the embodiment of the "next man up" mentality though, […]

Cardinals In The Hunt For Heyward

The Angels could be in the hunt for free agent outfielder Jason Heyward, according to Fox Sports. At this moment, the Angels “are only in the preliminary stages” in the search for a new outfielder, according to the report. Heyward’s name has come up in the discussion for the full-time outfield spot on the team. […]

Tony Romo (QB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 84% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It would be surprising if Tony Romo was still available in your league, but if he is stop reading and go grab him. Before we jump into the logistics of everything, just think about if Romo wasn't injured for seven games, he would be […]

Week 11 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

After eleven weeks of NFL action we’re dangerously close to the fantasy playoffs. By now you’re likely either in it or mathematically eliminated so I would assume that you’re still fighting for a playoff spot if you’re reading this. You’re going to see some playoff analysis sprinkled into the game-by-game breakdowns alongside the usual injury […]

Shaun Draughn is Drawing Some Flex Appeal

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Draughn is showing surprisingly good PPR value as he's caught four and eight receptions in his last two games. Although the yardage and touchdown totals promise to stay low, he's becoming a potential every-week FLEX option as he handles three-down duties for the Blaine Gabbert-led […]

Grab Tevin Coleman While Freeman Recovers

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There was so much hype surrounding Tevin Coleman leading up to this year's fantasy drafts. It was clear he wasn't the right fit for Kyle Shanahan's scheme - but the highlight-reel-making player was viewed highly and was even given the starting job […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Guards (Week 5)

We're about a month into the NBA season now, and RotoBaller is looking at guards in today's waiver wire column. There are two categories of potential waiver wire stars this week. First, there are some young potential players looking to establish themselves on really bad teams. Second, we have a few veterans who are outplaying […]

Spencer Ware a Great Injury Replacement

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware is a big "who?" kind of name. One of the best non-NFL employed talent evaluators, Matt Waldman, wrote in depth about Ware, and stated when Ware entered the draft that he could be a great NFL-caliber back. Well, in about two […]

Javorius "Buck" Allen the Back to Add in Baltimore

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Forsett out for the year, Javorius Allen is likely to get first crack at the job - if it doesn't turn into a committee. I make that distinction because Allen wasn't a college player that seemed like he'd make a successful NFL […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 12 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Thomas Rawls, Buck Allen, Jameis Winston & More

While Week 8 was still the biggest fantasy football graveyard week for injuries, Week 11 was certainly no picnic either (and Monday Night Football has yet to go, bubble wrap your players). Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out, […]

Thomas Rawls a Must-Add

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rawls faces the unfortunate issue of having Marshawn Lynch on his team. If Lynch returns, Rawls likely loses all value because of the Seahawks showing nothing regarding putting Lynch on the bench in favor of him. Rawls is still a must own in […]

Zach Miller: Another Vintage Name That Can Help You

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We all waited one week to jump aboard the Miller bandwagon after he shocked the fantasy nation with his 107 yards and two touchdowns two weeks ago.  There was no reason to think that performance was anything other than an aberration, no […]

Can You Trust Kamar Aiken or Crockett Gilmore With Joe Flacco and Justin Forsett Out?

The Baltimore Ravens are having the most disappointing season in the NFL. Despite being a consistent playoff participant for years, Baltimore is nowhere near contention this season and has a 3-7 record. The Ravens have suffered heartbreaking defeats to opposing teams but the biggest losses have come in the form of injuries. Rookie Breshad Perriman […]

Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy Combine to Overcome Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings

“R-E-L-A-X.” Last year, according to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, there was no better way for the famous cheeseheads of Green Bay to calm their racing hearts when the Packers struggled to perform out on the open field. Though it’s likely that little has changed in the mental makeup of Wisconsin’s favorite quarterback, this year, it appears […]

Brock Osweiler Starting Over Peyton Manning in Week 12, Good For Broncos Fantasy Stars?

The Denver Broncos have announced that Brock Osweiler will start at quarterback in Week 12 against the New England Patriots in place of Peyton Manning. It remains unsure whether this decision was made due to the injury concerns regarding Manning, the effective play of Osweiler or a combination of both. Osweiler delivered the best quarterback […]

Jameis Winston, Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson Could Be Big for Fantasy Owners

Apart from Deflategate, coming into this season, one of the biggest storylines had to do with how well Jameis Winston would handle the transition from the college game to the NFL. While he’s had his bumps and bruises along the way, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 11 matchup against Chip Kelly and the struggling Philadelphia […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel & DraftKings DFS Basketball Advice for 11/24/15

Congratulations to the Philadelphia 76ers! The Sixers finally won their first game on Monday night over the Minnesota Timberwolves after blasting out of the gate in the first half.  The Sixers continue to find ways to lose.

Tyler Lockett Has Become a Primary Option in Seattle

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has emerged as the Seahawks' most dangerous weapon in the passing game, as evidenced by his 48-yard, two-touchdown showing Sunday against the 49ers. The speedy rookie also caught a long touchdown in Week 7, and has a pair of return […]

Cecil Shorts Is Fantasy Relevant With Any Quarterback

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts had 51 receiving yards, 26 rushing yards and a 21-yard passing touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Jets. The rushing yards and passing touchdown are obviously fluky, but Shorts will continue to see a fair share of targets in the passing […]
