When Cam Newton Gets Pissed, We All Win

Let’s face it: most of us claim that we’d rather drink bleach through a straw, made entirely out of thorns, than watch preseason football (that means absolutely nothing) or pay attention to training camps. But we secretly are thanking the NFL gods that our eyes get to feast upon clashing helmets once again. One thing […]

Five Wide Receivers Primed for More Touchdowns in 2015

Touchdowns can be a fickle thing. In 2010 Dwayne Bowe led all receivers with a whopping fifteen touchdowns. In four mostly full seasons since, he has had a combined thirteen scores. As I’m sure most of you remember, that included zero last year from him and the rest of the Kansas City wide receivers. Even […]

Why Waiting On Running Backs Works: 12-Team Mock Draft Results

I did a recent 12-team standard mock draft on ESPN, and decided that I would avoid running backs in the first couple rounds to see what sort of team I could craft without a top-of-the-line stud. I had the 10th pick, and while I won't outline the entire draft results, I'll mention who I picked […]

Nick Castellanos (3B, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Looking at his overall numbers, Castellanos would seem to be having a similarly disappointing campaign as he did in 2014. Early season struggles, however, have given way to what could be a breakout. Castellanos was a well-regarded prospect and is still only 23 years […]

Rusney Castillo (OF, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Castillo was a tremendous disappointment in his first stint in the majors this season.

Jonathan Schoop (2B / 3B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As a rookie last season, Schoop displayed excellent pop for a middle infielder with 16 homers in 455 at-bats. Unfortunately, he also hit just .209 and struck out nearly 10 times as often as he walked. His plate discipline hasn’t evolved much, but his […]

Nick Hundley (C, COL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy owners truly believed that the catcher to own in Colorado was Wilin Rosario. He gave owners flexibility in their lineups to play at C, 1B, CI and seemingly had the higher upside as a hitter. Then Nick Hundley came walking in the door […]

Michael Taylor (OF, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Thanks to a bevy of injuries in the nation’s capital, Taylor has gotten a lot more playing time than anticipated this year. His rate stats aren’t terribly impressive with just a .237/.282/.371 triple slash to his name, but he does have 10 homers and […]

Caleb Joseph (C, BAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: If you have Matt Wieters this is the best equivalent of a handcuff in the baseball world.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The rookie got off to a sizzling start to his major league career before slumping badly in May and June. However, he’s red hot again and deserves consideration in deeper formats. Since July 1, Herrera is hitting .375/.413/.587 with four homers. Ride him while […]

Chase Headley (1B / 3B, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Headley was an out-of-nowhere fantasy monster in 2012, smacking 31 homers and swiping 17 bases to go along with 220 R+RBI and an .875 OPS. That these numbers came while playing half his games in Petco Park made the breakout all the more impressive. […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Aoki sustained a small fracture of his right fibula and missed a month.

Hank Conger (C, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Houston overhauled some big parts of their lineup to give their offense an even bigger boost to make a serious run at the playoffs.
