Pierre Thomas (RB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ leagues Owned in: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: Did Pierre Thomas not find work this long because he was holding out for more money, or because the soon-to-be 31-year-old's skills have eroded? The logical answer is a little bit of both. Offered a veteran-minimum contract by the Texans at the beginning of […]

Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues. Owned in: 15% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: Oh, look!

In a week, and season, plagued by injuries, good news has also traveled to locker rooms. All-Pro tight end, Vernon Davis, is now a Denver Bronco.

Malcolm Floyd and Other San Diego Chargers to Step Up in the Absence of Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen has been one of the most consistent wide receivers for fantasy owners all season.

Facing the Chicago Bears […]

Jaguars Happy with T.J. Yeldon and Giants to Start Will Tye

The New York Giants are expected to start undrafted free agent rookie Will Tye at tight end in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Starter Larry Donnell is dealing with neck spasms and will likely miss at least one week. Tye has a ton of athletic ability, which he proved at his Pro Day […]

Kent Bazemore (ATL, SG/SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Kent Bazemore has been playing very well for an Atlanta Hawks team that is off to a hot start. We saw last season that the Hawks distribute the ball well and play a bit like an Eastern Conference version of the Spurs. […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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, […]

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.

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.

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.
