Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 9 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 9 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings targets.

It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

Robert Woods Could Benefit from Easy Coverage

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It seems like forever ago, but there was a time where Robert Woods had a lot of hype on him coming out of USC. It's also been a long time since Percy Harvin had a ton of hype on him. Speaking of Harvin, […]

Jamison Crowder is Worth a Shot in PPR Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder's ownership remained low over the bye week, which is great because he'll be easy to grab now. Since gaining a legitimate role in the Redskins offense, Crowder has hovered between nine and 16 points every week in PPR leagues, creating a […]

Kamar Aiken Is the Number One Wideout in Baltimore

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This isn't the way anyone wanted to see Steve Smith Sr. end his football career. Having another great year, Smith unfortunately will have his final season before retirement end on the heels of an achilles injury. One of football's most under-appreciated players hopefully […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 9: Aiken, Floyd, Wilson and More

Week 8 was filled with a few brutal injuries that have left players sidelined for either the remainder of 2015, or at least for quite a few weeks. While we could list off a long run of players who suffered tough injuries, we'll just keep those guys in our thoughts and take a look at […]

Heath Miller a Great Plug N' Play for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Fill-In OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The ageless Miller brushed the grey hair out of his eyes this past Sunday and saw the passes coming to him clearly. After catching just 17 balls all season coming into last weekend’s action, Miller shocked the fantasy world (and probably […]

Benjamin Watson Continues to Roll

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Watson was the top tight end to sign up in my column two weeks ago, but most fantasy owners either ignored him or grabbed him for just one week and then dropped him again.  Watson is available in more than half of […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 9 Pickups and Adds

Week 9 is when the most fantasy football owners around the world will be searching for tight ends on the waiver wire. Not only is Week 9 the only week during the NFL season that six teams are on bye instead of the usual two-to-four, the caliber of the tight ends taking the week off […]

Week 9 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 9 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 9 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you that life […]

A.J. Green, Andy Dalton and Gary Barnidge to Start Week 9 With a Bang

Week 9 of the fantasy season kicks off this Thursday when the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns. The 7-0 Bengals appear likely to continue their undefeated season against the lowly 2-6 Browns. This should mean big numbers for fantasy owners lucky enough to have a player or two from the […]

Justin Houston Destroys Matthew Stafford’s Confidence in Six-Sack Loss

After Sunday’s Week 8 pounding by the Kansas City Chiefs in London, with an abysmal record of 1-7, it’s safe to say that the Lions’ season is all but over. Simply put, the Detroit Lions have been a complete and total disappointment in recent weeks. Unfortunately, for fantasy owners, citizens of the Motor City and […]

Geno Smith Is Worth a Shot in Deep Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues or 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Oh boy, here I go again. I've always been interested in Geno Smith's potential fantasy value. A quarterback who can attack the field everywhere and has the ability to run for big gains, Geno's been consistently held back by a weak […]

Red Hot Derek Carr Has an Easy Upcoming Schedule

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues, Start in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derek Carr's already owned in a lot of leagues, but this number should really rise after this week. Against the New York Jets, Carr had his best game yet. He attacked the entire field, maximizing his wide receivers' space to help them gain […]

Kirk Cousins Finally Has a Healthy Receiving Corps

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After finishing as the QB1 in Week 7, Cousins headed to his bye and remained unowned in the overwhelming majority of leagues. Prior to that, Kirk Cousins had two games with fewer than 10 points. He is far from a […]

Jay Cutler Has Quietly Had a Solid Season

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues, Start in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I think it has gone under the radar, but Jay Cutler has at least 17 points in each of the last four games. Sure it took a rushing touchdown to get there in Week 8, but the Vikings […]

Can Peyton Manning Resurrect Vernon Davis' Career?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: That's right, Vernon Davis is now a Bronco. One of the greatest athletes at the position of all time, Davis will be given a chance to recharge his career with a Peyton led team including a Gary Kubiak offense that has […]

Eli Manning Connects With Odell Beckham Three Times in Losing Effort to Saints

Each and every quarterback in the NFL has his favorite receiving targets. For Tom Brady, it’s Julian Edelman. In Denver, for Peyton Manning, it’s Demaryius Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders. Even down in Arizona, Cardinals’ quarterback Carson Palmer can’t help but frequently connect with Larry Fitzgerald. Regardless of who a quarterback is, how much experience he […]

Roll the Dice on Jacob Tamme for Some TE Help

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jacob Tamme comes in and out of relevance. It's hard to rely on him, but I like momentum. Tamme's not worth spending a high waiver pick on, but if you're desperate he has value as long as Hankerson is injured and defenses […]

Hail Mary Play: Hope Chris Polk Pokes One In

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 22% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As most predicted, it was Alfred Blue who led the Texans backfield in touches in the team's first game without Arian Foster. Blue rushed for just 39 yards on 14 carries while catching five passes for 33 yards. This performance certainly did not […]

Tyrod Taylor Is Healthy and Ready to Produce Again

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor should be healthy coming off three weeks of rest. He was quite a fantasy sensation prior to his injury, averaging over 20 points through five games. His worst game was still 14 points. His mobility (about 40 rush yards per game) […]

Theo Riddick: Bad Team, Reliable Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 31% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another absolute disaster of a game for the Lions. At this point it is almost a guarantee that they will be down and down big and that is when Riddick does most of his damage as a dynamic pass catcher. It […]

Stay Ahead of the Curve and Add Karlos Williams

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The rookie bruiser should finally be back at 100% after a lengthy absence due to a concussion, and as his health returns so does his fantasy value. Williams is a much better inside runner than the jumping-and-cutting LeSean McCoy, and has already […]

Antonio Andrews Plods into Fantasy Relevance

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Andrews was the clear leader in the backfield this past weekend, receiving 19 touches in a loss to the Texans. With Tennessee down the entire game, one may have expected to see more Dexter McCluster in this one, but it was Andrews […]

DeMarcus Ware and Teammates Annoy Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay’s Sunday Night Loss

Prior to Sunday Night’s game against the Denver Broncos, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers had been in the lead for nearly 80 percent of their games this season. Needless to say, that wasn’t the case on Sunday Night. The Broncos—captained by aging quarterback Peyton Manning—scored first and never looked back, wrapping up their […]
