Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton is usually a polarizing fantasy option. He often gets buoyed by his big games, but can put up some big time stinkers. It's a new season though, and his Week 1 performance was very strong against the Raiders. Dalton […]

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as Backup TE in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jared Cook is a physical freak. At 6'5" and 254 lbs with some speed, he can be a true matchup nightmare. Unfortunately, he hasn't quite realized this potential so far in his NFL career. He tends to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Last week the Indianapolis Colts' star receiver T.Y.

Eric Ebron (TE, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues or Deeper OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eric Ebron was the tenth overall pick a year ago, so clearly he was a highly regarded talent out of college. He's a big target at 6'4" and 265 lbs and should be one of Matthew Stafford's main redzone/endzone […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues Ownership: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most people view Dion Lewis as a one-week fill in for LeGarrette Blount, but there could be more potential there. Lewis looks to be the clear choice to take over the Patriots' pass-catching-back role, which has the potential to be very productive. Lewis racked […]

Danny Woodhead (RB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 72% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Coming into the 2015 season Danny Woodhead was given the 'sleeper' title.  Now that week 1 is over he no longer a 'sleeper' and rightfully so.  The reason that Woodhead was under the radar a bit was due to a season ending injury he […]

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  For the start of the 2015 season there were many questions about what the running back approach would be for the Dallas Cowboys this season.  With the huge loss of DeMarco Murray to free agency and the lack of drafting or acquiring […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 59% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Austin Seferian-Jenkins, or "ASJ" for those averse to keystrokes, was the lone bright spot for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. At the end of the game, ASJ was second on the team in targets with seven, and put together an incredible […]

Bishop Sankey (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Week 1 was a great week to be an owner with stock in the Tennessee Titans, as they made the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look like a bunch of amateurs. Marcus Mariota is getting most of the attention for his stellar performance, as he […]

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Brandon Coleman had a strong debut for the Saints, posting a solid 4-41-1 line in Week 1.

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 […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

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. Terrance Williams is expected to slide into the WR1 role, which leaves us with […]
