Week 8 Deeper Sleepers: Replacing Arian Foster

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. To describe last week's picks in one word... meh. Sure, we hit on Stefon Diggs, but that felt more like a "no duh" pick given how good he looked his first two games. The only […]

Kris Humphries (PF/C, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 4.1% of ESPN Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: I know what you’re thinking, this must have been a typo right? Nope, in fact, I can’t come up with a reason why he shouldn’t be rostered in all leagues. It hasn’t been made official yet, but I have a very […]

Alec Burks (SG, UTA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 42.8% of ESPN Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: Get to know the name Alec Burks. The 5th year combo guard from Colorado has flown under fantasy radars for a few years now, but the 2015-16 season looks to be a breakout year for Burks. Held to only 27 games […]

Meyers Leonard (PF/C, POR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 30.5% of ESPN Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: Meyers Leonard has been a pretty hot name this off season in the fantasy basketball world, but it looks like a lot of owners got cold feet when it came to actually drafting him. I actually own him in the RotoBaller […]

Matthew Stafford Is a Happy Camper and a Carlos Hyde Injury Update

When the Detroit Lions fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, my immediate reaction was “this means more work for rookie running back Ameer Abdullah.” While I still believe that to be true, nobody seems to be happier about the move than quarterback Matthew Stafford. According to the Detroit Free Press, one of the reasons head coach […]

Antonio Gates Could Miss Several Weeks; Phillip Dorsett Out 4-6 Weeks

If you held onto San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates through his four game suspension to start the 2015 season, you probably felt like it paid off once he returned. In the two games he played thus far this season, he caught 18 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns. The 35-year-old once again […]

Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider as cheap QB option in DFS OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Approach this one with caution. Even if he wasn't nursing a shoulder injury, Cleveland Browns starter Josh McCown would be a dicey proposition against an Arizona Cardinals defense that leads the NFL with 12 interceptions. But if you're feeling a bit […]

John Henson (PF/C, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for Blocks or Rebounds OWNED: 20% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS:This is more of a situational pick up. If you are thin in the Forward/ Center department I would definitely suggest taking a look at John Henson. Although last year his minutes were extremely inconsistent, the Bucks signed him to a lucrative contract this summer […]

Malcom Floyd (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Drop in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes something doesn't feel good, but we have to do it anyway. This is where we're at with Malcom Floyd. The veteran San Diego Chargers wideout is simply not producing enough to justify a roster spot in most season-long leagues. I say most […]

Doug Baldwin (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider for GPP lineups in DFS OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy football can be frustrating and stressful enough on its own. If you're relying on a Seattle Seahawks pass-catcher, that's only going to make things more infuriating. Through seven games this season, the Seahawks have had four different players finish as […]

Zac Stacy (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Chris Ivory in deeper leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, we all know what the most valuable fantasy asset is for any running back - opportunity. So news of starter Chris Ivory's hamstring flareup in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the New England Patriots immediately put backup Zac Stacy on […]

Antonio Gates and Joseph Randle Likely Out, Ladarius Green and Darren McFadden To Benefit?

The injuries are growing as we near the mid-point of the NFL season. Two players universally owned in standard fantasy leagues are expected to miss a couple of games. San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates missed Sunday’s loss to the Oakland Raiders with a sprained MCL and may be forced to miss a few […]

Carson Palmer and Chris Johnson Excel, Larry Fitzgerald Disappoints on MNF

The Arizona Cardinals have become one of the most fantasy friendly teams in the NFL. Many fantasy matchups were won or lost late in Week 7 thanks to the Cardinals playing in this week’s Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer continued his trend of being a consistent source of fantasy production passing […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Overview: Darren McFadden, Stefon Diggs, Orleans Darkwa & More

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Eight The seventh Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Miami finally began playing like the uber-talented team they were projected to be, while the Bills continued to struggle in London. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 7 saw a gruesome season ending injury […]

Week 7 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The most common text I sent this Sunday was “this is by far the ugliest week of football of the year” and I don’t think that’s even up for debate right now. From top to bottom, from Thursday night to Sunday night, nearly every game had some serious flaws. In a weird sort of way, […]

2015 In Review: Miguel Cabrera

For virtually his entire career, Miguel Cabrera has been elite. Coming into 2015, he had driven in 100 runs every season of his career (excepting his abbreviated rookie campaign), hit below .310 exactly once, and had never spent a day on the disabled list. This combination of perennial excellence and durability made him one of […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 8: Brandon LaFell, Michael Crabtree, Michael Floyd and More

Week 7 gave us plenty of waiver wire options at wide receiver, but this week, it may be more about picking through your free agent list and finding which of the players below are actually available. Unlike many other weeks, when we can find players who are owned in less than 30 percent of leagues, […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups and Adds

Fantasy owners are going to be without Washington’s Jordan Reed, Buffalo’s Charles Clay, Jacksonville’s Julius Thomas and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz this week. That’s a lot of receptions, yards and touchdowns to lose as fantasy teams enter the meat of their seasons. There is variety when it comes to some of the available tight ends on […]

Ventura Will Start Game 3 Of WS For Royals

Yordano Ventura will start Game 3 of the World Series for the Kansas City Royals against the New York Mets. Ventura will look to repeat his postseason success from last year against the San Francisco Giants. The right-hander allowed just two runs over 12 1/3 innings pitched through two starts. His first of possibly two […]

Cueto Named Game 2 Starter For Royals

Johnny Cueto will start Game 2 of the World Series for the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The right-hander will get the start at home where he’s pitcher much better than on the road in the postseason. In his lone start at home, Cueto delivered eight innings of two-run ball with eight strikeouts for the […]

Jared Sullinger (PF/C, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Owned in 47% of Fleaflicker leagues At 0.9 3PM per game on 3.2 attempts, Jared Sullinger once again improved his 3PT% to 28.3%. Sullinger is one of the few hard hitting Centers in the game who can contribute scoring from long distance. There isn't really a category in which Jared Sullinger can't help out a […]

Otto Porter (SF, WAS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Owned in 16% of Fleaflicker leagues Every aspect of Otto Porter's offensive game improved last year over his disappointing rookie season. Last season Porter's FT% went from 66.7% to 73.4%, his 2PT% went from 41.4% to 49.1%, his 3PT% went from a horrendous 19% to 33.7%, his eFG% went from 38.5% to 49.5%, his minutes […]

Jae Crowder (F, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Owned in 8% of Fleaflicker leagues The number one factor driving the value of Marquette product Jae Crowder's is the fact that the Boston Celtics simply need him more than the Dallas Mavericks ever did. In 181 career games played with the Mavericks since 2012, Crowder averaged just 15.9 minutes per game. Since Crowder was […]

Feeling Lucky? Roll With Hoyer in Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Start as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: How could anyone see the result of this game and want to gamble on Hoyer putting up fantasy points again!? Well, I am apparently foolish enough to do so.  With it being the heart of the bye week period, there are […]
