DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/5/15

It’s easy to fall behind in the daily fantasy game early in the season, especially when playing NBA DFS. It usually takes teams, and that means players, about three or four weeks before the “real” daily fantasy season begins. Try not to get caught up in what has or hasn’t worked this season. If you […]

Willie Cauley-Stein (SAC, C) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Short-term Add in All Leagues/Add in all 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: With "Boogie" out for a while, Willie Cauley-Stein could be in line for some extended minutes. He's really more of a short term option, but owners in need of rebounds and blocks could do a lot […]

Jeremy Langford Could See 20+ Carries and Austin Seferian-Jenkins Comments on Return

With Matt Forte out at running back with an MCL sprain, the Chicago Bears will give Jeremy Langford the nod. When a lot of starting running backs go down, teams typically use a running back by committee to replace him, but that isn’t expected to be the case with Langford. According to ESPN Bears reporter […]

2016 Free Agents and Potential Qualifying Offer Fates

Now that we've entered the MLB offseason, it's time to talk qualifying offers. Teams will spend the next few days deciding whether or not to extend a qualifying offer to their impending free agents. The qualifying offer system was designed to replace the old arbitration-based system that used Type A, B, and C free agents. […]

Week 9 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Week 8 was just awful. It was a gut-wrenching week for fantasy owners as a handful of key pieces were silenced by serious injuries. If you were fortunate enough to have a healthy roster by the end of this week's action, count your blessings. There was simply a shortage of dominant performances from RBs all […]

Thursday Night Matchups: Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Gary Barnidge & More

There are four undefeated teams remaining in the NFL, three hail from the AFC and one is playing on Thursday Night Football. The 7-0 Cincinnati Bengals host the Cleveland Browns, looking to have a field day against a Browns team that has lost three straight. To spice things up for the viewing public, the Browns […]

Buy Lows & Sell Highs: Drew Brees, T.J. Yeldon, Carson Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald & More

At the halfway point of the year, teams with winning records are starting to look ahead to the playoffs. The old fantasy saying goes that you “start your studs”, but playoff-bound teams can afford to start thinking about playoff matchups. This list is less about buying low and selling high and more about finding players […]

Joique Bell the RB to Own in Detroit?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So much for Ameer Abdullah. Many owners were hoping for a Lamar Miller-like resurgence from "AA" after the coaching change in Detroit. Unfortunately, Abdullah is deeper in the doghouse than Snoopy during a blizzard. With Zenner out, this leaves Theo Riddick […]

Matt Jones Still a Viable RB Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 10 + Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Owned in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After the Bye week to rest up and get healthy, I think Matt Jones is poised to have a solid second half. DeSean Jackson is back and that should help Kirk Cousins spread the field a bit. Jordan […]

Chris Givens Worth a Look as Smith Sr. Replacement

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It was truly heart wrenching to see Steve Smith Sr.'s career potentially end due to a ruptured Achilles Tendon on Sunday. A true warrior and pretty much Joe Flacco's main option in the passing game this season. Things continue to get worse […]

Give Crockett Gillmore Some More Fantasy Love

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Just like Chris Givens and Kamar Aiken, Crockett Gillmore should benefit from the loss of Steve Smith Sr. Tight ends are sparse and although Gillmore hasn't had a relevant fantasy day aside from Week 2, he should now be Flacco's top endzone […]

Grab Richard Rodgers at His Low Point

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rodgers hasn’t scored since Week 4, and his ownership levels have reflected a mellowing out on the Rodgers’ hype. The horrible showing for the Green Bay Packers against the strong Denver Broncos’ defense only helped make Richard Rodgers (and every passing […]

Will Tye: Deep League Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In the words of Giants’ head coach Tom Coughlin, “he’s got to be the guy”. Tye is the only healthy tight end left on the roster for the New York Giants. Kevin Boss isn’t coming back for a last hurrah, sadly […]

Michael Floyd: Back In the Circle of Trust

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Reports have come out that Floyd has leapfrogged John Brown on the Cardinals’ depth chart for #2 duties. This comes on the heels of three very strong games out of Floyd. He has found the end zone in Weeks 6, 7, […]

Devin Smith: Deep Dynasty League Stash

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Dynasty Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Smith is owned in more leagues than Jeremy Kerley, but he has been dealing with an ankle injury and continues to miss practice. As such, Kerley is the third receiver still with Quincy Enunwa suspended and Smith banged up. Devin […]

Look to Jeremy Kerley in Deep PPR Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Kerley is operating as the Jets #3 receiver, the slot man, as Quincy Enunwa still has two games left on his suspension. Kerley saw four targets in the game against the Patriots, reeling in three of them for receptions […]

Does Lance Moore Deserve More of Your Attention?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Surprisingly enough, Lance Moore has caught touchdowns in three of the past four weeks. Unfortunately that “other” week he laid an egg. He has only had two really impressive games so far this year, coming in Weeks 5 and 6 against […]

Grab Theo Riddick - Certified PPR Expert

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Lions got embarrassed across the pond on Sunday morning by the Kansas City Chiefs. While this meant some good catchup mode work for Theo Riddick, it still didn’t translate to any points being scored or any real prime opportunities […]

Time to Scoop Up Ahmad Bradshaw?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It would’ve been nice to see Ahmad Bradshaw get more work in the Indianapolis Colts’ offense than he has so far. Bradshaw had a season high seven rushes for 31 yards against the Carolina Panthers on Monday night, but didn’t […]

Deep League Diving: Stevan Ridley (RB, NYJ)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Stevan Ridley was active for the first time this year in the Jets’ Week 8 loss to the Oakland Raiders. It was a weird game for the Jets, as they lost Ryan Fitzpatrick early in the game to a ligament tear […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Charcandrick West, Ronnie Hillman, Alshon Jeffery, Drew Brees

Drew Brees - QB, NO We can't really ignore the historic effort here. Seven touchdowns and over 500 yards passing is going to merit some discussion. How much of this was Brees and the Saints and how much of it was the Giants poor and depleted defense? To what degree is this sustainable moving forward? Drew […]

Shaun Draughn (RB, SF) - A Powerball Ticket Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, if you’re in need of a lottery ticket here you are. Shaun Draughn (not to be confused with Reuben Droughns) was signed by the San Francisco 49ers in a depth move after Reggie Bush suffered a torn MCL and is […]

Can Dybala Spur Juventus In Serie A?

A quick look at the Italian Serie ‘A’ table after ten games will shock you, if you are a Juventus fan, as the four-time defending champion is languishing in 10th position on 15 points. However, that only tells half of the story. After a wretched start that saw them flirt with the bottom five, Old Lady […]

Week 9 Wide Receiver Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Wide receivers are one of the most critical components, and a core building block, for all fantasy football teams. This is especially true in PPR formats, where fantasy owners are rewarded for every catch that a wide receiver makes. We are here to help you plan your wide receiver draft strategy, and to target the […]

Allen Hurns Limited in Practice and Dorial Green-Beckham to Be Featured?

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns was limited in Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury. However, Hurns owners should know that this is nothing to be concerned about. This isn’t the first time he has been limited in practice and it likely won’t be his last. Fantasy football players who don’t own Hurns probably don’t […]

Stefon Diggs Sits Out of Practice and Julian Edelman Was Limited

2015 Fantasy football surprise Stefon Diggs did not participate in Minnesota Vikings practice on Wednesday. The rookie is reportedly dealing with a hamstring injury, but isn’t at risk of missing the team’s Week 9 matchup against the St. Louis Rams. Through just four games this season, Diggs has hauled in 25 passes for 419 yards […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Cleared to Start, but Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker Questionable

The New York Jets received some good news and some bad news today. First, lets start with the good news. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been cleared to start in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite a thumb injury to his non-throwing hand. Coach Todd Bowles confirmed on Wednesday that Fitzpatrick is expected to play […]
