Roddy White Furious With Role

Atlanta Falcons veteran wide receiver Roddy White is unhappy with his role in the passing game thus far this season. White went off on the media when discussing how he's currently being used by the team. "For me, at the end of the day, I want to catch passes," White told ESPN.com. "I'm not out […]

10 Bold MLB Predictions: End of Season Review

Now that we’ve reached the end of another fantasy season, it’s time to look back on my bold predictions from March and see how they panned out.   The Bold Predictions Joey Votto is a top five first baseman. Success! Votto bounced back in a big way from an injury-marred 2014, riding a huge second […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 5 Pickups & Adds

With four teams on BYE for the first time this season, and with quality fantasy tight ends like Carolina’s Greg Olsen and Miami’s Jordan Cameron getting the upcoming week off, fantasy football owners will be scouring the waiver wire for one-week help. The tight ends on BYE will not be the only ones not playing this […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It seems as though Hankerson has officially surpassed veteran Roddy White on the Atlanta Falcons' depth chart. Ready for this? Since Week 2, Hankerson has been targeted 25 times, while White has received five targets. Yes, five. This has resulted in White totaling […]

Week 4 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Believe it or not, we might have actually seen the injury bug settle back down to normal levels after week four. This was the first Sunday of the season in which injuries seemed to be a much less significant part of the narrative compared to the first three weeks. That being said, there were still […]

FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 5 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

We now find ourselves passing the quarter-mile marker in this fantasy football race (unless you play in a 17 week league and want to get technical on me), and the standings are really starting to take shape. Week 4 does not appear to be bringing gifts for those in need, though that's not to say […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Five The fourth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Jets toppled the Dolphins in London, while the Jay Cutler returned to the Bears to keep them from falling to the Raiders. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 4 was filled with some star-studded […]

Kansas City Chiefs (KC, DEF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add As Streaming Defense OWNED IN:  53% of Fleaflicker Leagues A fantasy football team defense is usually only as good as its opponent. Sure there are units that are always must-starts (this year's Broncos defense may be an example). The Chiefs fall into the former category for me, coming off three-straight games where they […]

Sabathia Checking Himself Into Rehab: No Postseason

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia is checking himself into an alcohol rehab facility and will not be available for the postseason. This comes as shocking news since the postseason begins Tuesday for the Yankees when they host the Houston Astros in the Wild Card game. The winner will advance to the ALDS against […]

Hector Olivera To Play 6 Weeks In Puerto Rican Winter League

Hector Olivera will get more MLB seasoning by playing in the Puerto Rican Winter League for six weeks. The Atlanta Braves infielder missed a lot of time this season because of a visa issue and injuries. Olivera will get to compete in a legitimately competitive league, which will allow him to face some MLB-level pitching. […]

Ichiro Wants To Be With Marlins Next Season

Ichiro Suzuki said that he’s hoping to play his 2016 season with the Miami Marlins. The 41-year-old unrestricted free agent was asked whether or not he would like to return to Miami after one season. He responded, “Of course.” Asked if he would like to return to #marlins next season, Ichiro Suzuki (.229 BA, 9.00 ERA) replied […]

Molina (Thumb) Likely On Cards Postseason Roster

Breathe easy, Cardinals fans. The St. Louis Cardinals are “optimistic” that Yadier Molina will be a part of the team’s postseason roster. The Cardinals catcher has missed the last two weeks after he sprained his left thumb while making a tag at home plate. If he’s healthy, it’s great news for the St. Louis rotation […]

Pormeranz To Undergo Surgery On AC Joint

Oakland A’s starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left AC joint during the off-season. Pomeranz, 26, has dealt with an AC joint issue throughout the span of his five-year career. Apparently the issue has reached high enough threshold for him to go under the knife to fix it. There’s no reported […]

Carlos Gomez (Ribs) Says 'The Plan Is To Play Tomorrow'

Carlos Gomez told reporters that he’s “ready to start” Tuesday’s AL Wild Card game against the New York Yankees. The Houston Astros outfielder has been dealing with an intercostal issue. Gomez said that his ribs are fine and he wants to be out there in the starting lineup after he underwent a workout at Yankees […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire: Week 5 Pickups & Adds

Let's keep on keeping on as we head into Week 5 of the NFL season. As the bye weeks begin, there's no better time to hit the waiver wire hard, especially at the wide receiver position. With the Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets all on bye, it means that there are likely a […]

Week 5 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 5 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 5 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you that life […]

Add Charles Sims Off The Waiver Wire?

It's unfortunate that Doug Martin had such a good game on Sunday, because I was ready to claim Sims as a potential breakout candidate with the potential of taking the majority timeshare of the Tampa Bay backfield job. However, Martin's day of 106 rushing yards with a touchdown sets back Sims' march towards the top of […]

Is Darren McFadden A Priority Waiver Wire Add?

Normally we don't list players who are owned at more than a 50% clip, but I'm considering McFadden as an exception. McFadden has mostly acted as the third running back in the Dallas system this year, clearly taking a back seat to Joseph Randle on the early downs and to Lance Dunbar on the passing […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I put Andrews in my "Wait and See" section in Week 4, not because I didn't think he was worthy of a pickup, but more-so because the Titans were on a bye and I wanted to see if they made a move during their […]

Ronnie Hillman Needs To Be Added In All Leagues

We've heard about Hillman's big play potential since he entered the league, but when you look at his game log for the past three seasons you would never know about it. Long runs of 31, 19, and 37 yards from 2012-14 respectively, Hillman just hasn't broken off the big one very often/ever. That all changed […]

Why Duke Johnson Should Be Added In All Leagues

Two weeks ago, I tried to trade James Starks to the Eddie Lacy owner while Lacy was very questionable for his Monday Night matchup with the Chiefs. In return I asked for Duke Johnson. A fair trade price in my opinion, considering this teams RB situation. They shot me down and I didn't up my […]

Week 5 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

It's time to come clean. Time for a little honesty around here. Time to pay the piper if you will. Up until this week, up until the writing of this very column, I haven't been particularly excited about many running back waiver wire adds so far this season. My "Cream of the Crop" adds in […]

Ryan Mallett: Don't Make the Same Mistake Houston Is Making

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has announced that his team will stick with Ryan Mallett under center despite benching him for Brian Hoyer against the Atlanta Falcons in week 4. "He's our starting quarterback. [But] he needs to do better," O'Brien said. Just because the Texans are sticking with Mallett for another week doesn't […]

Torrey Smith: Stick With Him or Drop Him?

Even when Torrey Smith was with the Baltimore Ravens he was a boom or bust wide receiver. He has never had the best hands, but he's always been a threat to score from anywhere on the field - especially when his quarterback can throw the deep ball. But through four games, the now San Francisco […]

DeSean Jackson Ready to Return?

DeSean Jackson owners have been understandably upset with him thus far this season. The speedy wide receiver suffered a hamstring in week 1 and hasn't returned to the football field ever since. But now that the team will likely be without Jordan Reed in week 5, the team is ready to put Jackson back out […]

Jordan Reed Likely to Miss Time After Another Concussion

Washington Redskins tight end has been great for his owners thus far this season, but that may be coming to an end. On Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles he suffered another concussion, a sprained ankle and a knee injury. Reed has a history of concussions; it's believed he has suffered at least five concussions since […]

Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Green might see his value reduced next week, but I want to make a case here that he's been playing well. We all know that for the last two years the Chargers have been hyping him up, and we're now finally seeing what the results of that […]

Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Man, let me tell you that I don't want to be endorsing Gary Barnidge. At 30 years old, with barely anything to show for his career, having a relevant fantasy season is so out of left field it's hard to believe. It's actually incredibly similar […]

Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All the hype was pointed towards Saints receivers Brandon Coleman and Brandon Cooks during the offseason. Meanwhile, Willie Snead has somehow managed to outdo them both so far in the 2015 fantasy football season. Snead currently leads the team in yardage (240 receiving yards), despite […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman's name might bring up a lot of questions like "who is that?" - but rest assured, this is a player with some fantasy relevance. Inman was picked up by the Chargers from the CFL where he played two seasons that accumulated some not-so-impressive […]
