Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues. OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While the running back battle rages on in Dallas, it seems that a certain split has come about regarding Lance Dunbar. Can this guy even be considered a tail back anymore? Through two weeks, Dunbar has rushed the ball only one time for an […]

Crockett Gillmore (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues. OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The ESPN crew couldn't stop raving about second-year tight end Crockett Gillmore as an ideal, cheap DFS option for the Ravens Week 2 matchup against Oakland. It seemed bizarre, seeing as the relatively unheralded receiver caught only two passes in Week 1 for 23 […]

Brantley (Shoulder) Sits Wednesday: Could Return By Thursday

Michael Brantley is day-to-day as he tries to recover from an ailing right shoulder that has bothered him for quite some time. The shoulder injury flared when the Cleveland Indians outfielder was removed from Tuesday’s game after he dove for a fly ball. Brantley missed Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Twins but the injury didn’t […]

Wainwright (Foot) Throws 25 Pitches To Live Batters

Adam Wainwright threw 25 pitches to live hitters Wednesday at Busch Stadium. It’s been a long recovery for the former three-time All-Star and World Series champion since he suffered an Achilles tendon rupture back in April. It was originally believed that he would miss the entire season, but now Wainwright is expected to be back […]

Jon Gray Shut Down For The Rest Of The Season

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray will be shut down for the rest of the season because he reached his innings limit. The rookie right-hander only made nine starts during his first MLB season for a last-place Rockies team.  Gray had his ups and downs, but he was able to get the important MLB seasoning […]

Josh Hamilton (Knee) Runs For First Time Since Surgery

Josh Hamilton will run the bases on Wednesday for the first time since he underwent surgery on his knee earlier in the month. The surgery was done to clean up loose bodies in his ailing left knee. Since he was scheduled to go through running drills on Wednesday, it’s a sign that the former AL […]

Freese Delivers Clutch Double For Big Angels Win

David Freese came through in the clutch for the Angels Wednesday when he broke the tie with a two-run double in the top of the eighth inning, which led to the 6-5 victory over the Houston Astros. The former World Series MVP hasn’t had his best MLB season, but his hit helped pull the Angels […]

Puig (Hamstring) Ran Bases Wednesday: Return Still Questionable

Yasiel Puig ran the bases before Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks as the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder tries to recover from a nagging hamstring issue. The return of the former All-Star is still a mystery since the hamstring has been bothering Puig all season long. The 24-year-old has only played in 77 games this […]

Billy Hamilton (Shoulder) To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Billy Hamilton’s 2015 season is officially over. The outfielder will undergo surgery on Friday to repair the capsule in his right shoulder. There is no structural damage, which means that Hamilton could be ready in time for Spring Training. The Cincinnati Reds centerfielder injured the shoulder a month ago but was able to come back […]

Twins Call Up MVP Of Southern League Max Kepler

The Minnesota Twins have called up Max Kelper from Double-A Chattanooga after Monday’s 8-1 victory over the Angels. Kepler is the MVP of the Southern League with a .318/.410/.520 batting line, 9 HR, 71 RBI and 19 SB between High- and Double-A. The 22-year-old had a breakout season and is ready to play at the […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, and Advice for 9/23/15

What's up RotoBallers. Welcome to the second-to-last edition of my FanDuel analysis for DFS contests. Two early games on the slate (CHW/DET, LAA/HOU), so make sure to double-check lineups before 1:08 PM ET. A trio of $10K+ aces on the mound tonight, although there's some solid value plays to consider at pitcher. My goal as always is to […]

Arrieta Strikes Out 11 For 20th Win

Jake Arrieta dominated his way to earn his 20th win of the season on Tuesday as the Chicago Cubs shut out the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0. The right-hander gave up a leadoff double to start the game but allowed two more hits and one walk throughout the rest of the game. Arrieta struck out 11 batters […]

Trout Blasts Career-High 40th HR

Mike Trout blasted his 40th homer of the season on Tuesday as the Angels defeated the Houston Astros 4-3, climbing to within 2 1/2 games for the second AL Wild Card. The home run came in the first inning on what was a two-run shot by Trout. It marked the first time in his stellar […]

Milone (Shoulder) Could Return Saturday

Tommy Milone has a throwing session scheduled for Tuesday after his weekend start was scratched due to shoulder fatigue. If all goes well during his throwing session, Milone will likely take the mound over the weekend against the Detroit Tigers. If Milone's throwing session goes well today, he could still start Saturday with Nolasco ready […]

d'Arnaud Sits, Wright Starts Tuesday Against Braves

New York Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud was not in Tuesday's lineup against the Atlanta Braves. Meanwhile, David Wright was back in the lineup after missing Monday’s game. Tuesday #Mets vs. #Braves: Granderson, RF Wright, 3B Murphy, 2B Cespedes, CF Duda, 1B Flores, SS Conforto, LF Plawecki, C Verrett, RHP — Adam Rubin (@AdamRubinESPN) September 22, […]

Adam Jones (Back) Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Adam Jones was out of the lineup again on Tuesday for the Baltimore Orioles against the Washington Nationals. Jones was not going to start on Monday but the game was postponed. This is bad news for fantasy users as one of the best outfielders in MLB will miss his second straight game with back spasms. […]

Braun (Back) Sits For 4th Straight Game

Ryan Braun is out once again on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder was sidelined for his fourth straight game due to a back injury which will require surgery after the season. It’s unclear how much Braun will play throughout the final few weeks, which isn’t good news for fantasy owners in the […]

Tulowitzki (Shoulder) Throws With No Pain; No Swings Yet

Troy Tulowitzki felt good after a throwing session on Tuesday. The Toronto Blue Jays shortstop suffered muscle bruises on his upper back and suffered a small crack in his left shoulder blade during a collision with teammate Kevin Pillar last weekend. Tulowitzki has missed eight straight games and counting because of the injury. Troy Tulowitzki […]

Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 25

Here we are - the last SP Buy/Sell of the season. It seems like just yesterday I was giving you such stellar advice as "trade Zack Greinke" and "buy low on Anibal Sanchez." The lesson, as always: Never trust the experts...or a man in a blue trenchcoat. Once more unto the breach, dear friends.   […]

James Starks (RB, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Another week another injury...this one is with Green Bay Packers starting running back Eddie Lacy.  Last week Lacy went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter.  His backup, James Starks, did a bang up job replacing him toting […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With LeGarrette Blount suspended and Jonas Gray sent to the waiver wire at the end of the preseason, Lewis looked great in Week 1 against the Steelers, contributing as both a rusher (69 yards) and receiver (51 yards) in his first action since the Eagles […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (14+) OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As a Falcons fan, this pains me to say. But it's looking like Roddy White is getting phased out of the offense. When asked about his one-target, no catch performance on Sunday, he told reporters there wasn't any extra attention paid to him by […]

EPL Fantasy Team Of The Week - Match Day Six

  GK – Adrian – West Ham United Adrian was sensational on Saturday, tallying eight saves in West Ham’s 2-1 upset victory over Man City. The Hammer backstop led his squad to its third consecutive road victory, securing second position in the table for now. Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of our […]

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Travis Benjamin has three touchdowns on only six catches through two games, and is clearly the top deep threat in Cleveland. His lack of targets (only four in Week 2) is what’s discouraging, although that could be due largely in part to the […]

Cleveland Browns (DEF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Matchup Streamer (FAAB: $2) OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Talk about a complete 180. After registering zero points in standard leagues Week 1, they put 21 this week. The Browns came out in their home opener, and emasculated Marcus Mariota and the Titans. They harassed him for seven sacks and added three fumbles (two […]

Leonard Hankerson (ATL, WR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues (FAAB Bid: $3-5) OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Roddy White owners are freaking out. Hankerson was buried in Washington for a while, and never really did anything special. It was speculated that if Roddy White gets hurt, Hankerson could step into some nice value as a WR2 in […]
