NBA Waiver Wire: Centers (Week 3)

The third week of the NBA season is about to get started. Through two weeks, the center position has been dominated by a lot of newcomers. Rudy Gobert has played well while still not fully living up to the preseason hype. Karl-Anthony Towns and Hassan Whiteside have both proven they will be forces in the […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota & Kirk Cousins

Week 9 saw Tyrod Taylor deliver an acceptable performance. It wasn’t great, but I’ll take 15 points from a QB streamer any week. Meanwhile I should have expected it, but Kirk Cousins was disappointing. My options at 25% or less were Johnny Manziel, Blaine Gabbert and Matt Cassel. There was no chance I was starting […]

Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley Provide Top-Tier Fantasy Value In Cowboys’ Week 9 Loss

Needless to say, the Dallas Cowboys have struggled to generate much of an offense under quarterback Matt Cassel. In spite of a Week 9 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, however, there are a handful of positive takeaways from how "America’s team" performed out on the open field. Sure, the running game was better. Yes, […]

Week 9 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate

Monday Night Matchups Analysis Bears @ Chargers Matchups we love: Stevie Johnson, WR, Chargers - San Diego will be looking to replace Keenan Allen's 11 targets a game. Johnson is the most natural replacement and should see his six targets be bumped all the way up to at least 10. Johnson has been a WR1 before, he […]

Antonio Brown Has A Record Setting Performance, Roethlisberger Hurt Again

As all of Antonio Brown's owners know, his performance is directly linked to the presence of Ben Roethlisberger. When Roethlisberger is at the helm, Brown is essentially guaranteed to give you a solid, if not extraordinary performance. Without Roethlisberger though, Brown's production dips significantly. With that being said, at the conclusion of Sunday's game between […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/9/15

Two Detroit Pistons comprise part of my lineup, neither of which are the sizzling Andre Drummond. Different lineups with different players on back-to-back days often equals success, no matter how tempting it is to continuously pick guys like Drummond. I've been drooling over double-doubles lately, focusing heavily on guys that constantly teeter around one; or […]

Darren McFadden and DeMarco Murray Post Triple-Digits on Sunday Night

The Week 9 fixture between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles was thought to be a battle between the lame and downtrodden. Both teams were entering the game with poor quarterback play and losing records, and the end result was truly anybody’s best guess. Though the Eagles would ultimately outlast the Cowboys in an overtime victory, […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/9/15

Daily fantasy basketball happens to be one of the most predictable fantasy sports that there is. Players generally get the same amount of minutes per game, and they can usually be expected to score, rebound, and assist at around the same ratio. This makes finding value plays fairly easy. I will provide a top play […]

LeSean McCoy, Ben Roethlisberger and Other Injury Concerns Heading Forward

Another week and another slew of big name injuries will cause fantasy owners to make more roster moves. Here is a look at a few of the star players who went down and who is available to fill in. Ben Roethlisberger - Big Ben went down with a foot injury in the second half and […]

LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams Ground and Pound the Bills to Victory

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan has been known to have an affinity for the "ground and pound" style--a style that is predicated around having a strong running game and strong defense. Though many believe that the days of needing a strong running game to win in the NFL are over (see: Patriots, New England), it […]

Week 10 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 10 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 10 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you that life […]

Sunday Night Matchups: Ryan Mathews, Darren McFadden, Dez Bryant & More

Eagles @ Cowboys - Sunday 11/5 @ 8:25 PM EST Matchups We Love: Ryan Mathews, RB, Eagles - It seems clear to everyone watching the Eagles that the best back they have is Mathews. The only group that doesn't seem to understand this is the Eagles coaching staff. Mathews is averaging 6.1 yds per rushing attempt to DeMarco […]

Marcus Mariota and Delanie Walker Make Good Bye Week Fill-Ins vs Saints

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota returns to action today against the New Orleans Saints after a knee injury that caused him to miss two straight games.  Mariota was injured on a controversial play by Miami Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon.  The rookie quarterback was believed to have had a grade two MCL sprain, but a […]

Reuben Randle, Ronnie Hillman & Brandon Marshall All Expected to Play

According to Ian Rapaport, Giants wide receiver Reuben Randle is playing today despite his injured hamstring. With Randle in the lineup quarterback Eli Manning should get a boost, and it should help keep some of the attention away from Odell Beckham Jr. Rain is expected in the Tampa Bay area this afternoon, so even though it […]

Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr. Look To Stay Hot Against Tampa Bay

Eli Manning had a career game last week against the New Orleans Saints, throwing for 350 yards and six touchdowns in the loss. While Manning has been inconsistent all season, look for him to stay hot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight. While I'm sure no one is expecting six touchdowns again, only two teams have […]

T.Y. Hilton & Austin Seferian-Jenkins Unlikely to Play, Sammy Watkins & DeSean Jackson Both Active

According to Ian Rapaport, Colts wide receiver TY Hilton is a long shot to play today against the Denver Broncos. Hilton did not practice all week, but he will test his sprained foot pregame before officially being ruled out. With Hilton out or limited, Andrew Luck is a sit for me in seasonal leagues against […]

Ben Roethlisberger, DeAngelo Williams Look To Scorch Raiders

Just when it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers could finally play with all of their starters healthy for once, Le'Veon Bell suffered a season-ending injury last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. That opened the door for veteran running back DeAngelo Williams to take over as the lead back. Williams started the first two games of the season […]

Toss-Up: Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown as the Browns’ Week 10 Starter

No, this isn’t an episode of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” or anything, but the decision as to whether Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown will make the start for the Cleveland Browns come Week 10 is currently a hot topic—nothing short of a bonafide “toss-up,” to be honest. On Friday, Browns’ coach Mike Pettine stated that […]

Colin Kaepernick Unhappy With Blaine Gabbert’s New Starting Role

Apparently, no NFL quarterback is safe from a sudden downfall. What started as a personal, on-field tragedy for Robert Griffin III has now managed to impact proven quarterbacks like Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick. Of the three quarterbacks in question, Kaepernick’s case is most interesting. Almost three short years ago, the young quarterback out of […]

Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates Strong Options Against Bears

The San Diego Chargers were dealt a terrible blow when wide receiver Keenan Allen was put on injured reserve with a lacerated kidney earlier this week. Allen was the Chargers' best receiver, and his 792 yards ranked third in the NFL before he left early against Baltimore. Still, Philip Rivers will find a way to […]

Antonio Gates, Stevie Johnson, Malcom Floyd Ready to Shine, Ladarius Green Likely Out

The San Diego Chargers have become one of the most fascinating teams to forecast in fantasy this season thanks to Philip Rivers putting up huge numbers on a weekly basis. Things became more interesting after the unfortunate news of star wide receiver Keenan Allen being ruled out of the remainder of the season with a […]

Greg Olsen, Delanie Walker and Charles Clay are Solid Plays in Week 9

As we’ve discussed before, the tight end can be a maddening position. Unless you have Rob Gronkowski, chances are you’re hoping for maybe six or seven points from your tight end to consider it a successful week. Gronkowski is on a level of his own, so let’s take a look at three other tight ends […]

Stefon Diggs, Ronnie Hillman and Brandon Marshall To Play

The injuries and bye weeks are starting to make every fantasy football decision quite pivotal. The regular season is rolling into the heart of the schedule and we’re all fighting for that playoff spot. A couple of injuries have many fearing the possibility of benching a star or two with their status up in the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/8/15

When selecting a team, it's definitely important to look at the stats of an individual player, but even more so to focus on picking a team that fits together well. A formula of eight guys that aren't necessarily dropping 40 or appearing on ESPN's Top 10, but that maximize production. Together. You're pretty much looking for […]

Big Games in Store for Brandon LaFell and LeGarrette Blount?

The New England Patriots are the most powerful offensive unit in the league. They provide fantasy value at just about every position. Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Dion Lewis have all been among the best at their respective positions this season. Those names have become somewhat boring as you can’t examine them on […]

Underrated Tight Ends This Week Include Jordan Reed and Heath Miller

The tight end has been the most frustrating position in fantasy football this year. Aside from Rob Gronkowski’s dominance with the New England Patriots, no other tight end has been consistently great. The other tight ends of the NFL are usually hit or miss with the potential for a stinker being equal to the chances […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: We’ve seen Nate Washington explode with an offensive outburst the last two weeks with Cecil Shorts out due to multiple injuries. Prior to that, Shorts had two games without Washington and had some solid numbers of his own. He had […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 63% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Fun fact about Rishard Matthews: he is the highest scoring PPR receiver to be owned in less than 70% of Fleaflicker leagues. That surprises me because he has only had one game below 13 PPR points and even in standard he sits […]
