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 […]

Volquez Named Royals Starter For Game 1

The Kansas City Royals have named Edinson Volquez the starter for Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night at home against the New York Mets. The 32-year-old will make his seventh career postseason start and his first in the World Series. Volquez has been up and down this postseason in his first year […]

Mariota a High Upside Play in Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Start as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone just saw what Ryan Tannehill did to the Texans right? This will be a morally defeated team. Tannehill’s game was an outlier, but this is still a bad defense that was already allowing the 6th most points to opposing QBs […]

Alex Smith a Safe Bye Week Play in Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Play as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I really wanted to recommend Derek Carr again, but I just can’t do it against the Jets. So I am settling for Alex Smith. All things considered, I felt Smith played very well against the Steelers in Week 7 without Jeremy […]

Titans a High Risk/Reward Unit in Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add as Streamer Defense OWNED IN: 15% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You want a crazy punt play? Here's as crazy as it can get. Brian Hoyer isn't immune to throwing INTs. He also has the 10th highest sack rate in the league right now. The Texans just lost Arian Foster for the season, […]

Eric Ebron Roaring for Lions

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues or Deeper OWNED IN: 33% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS:There was a lot of hype about Eric Ebron when he entered the draft. Some people even believed he'd have first year value at a position that has almost never had first year value. Obviously, that didn't happen- but now […]

Redskins Will Look to Feed Jordan Reed

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jordan Reed returned to the Redskins in grand fashion with the top scoring performance amongst TE's, putting together 11 catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns. As the only special target on the Redskins, Reed is going to demand targets and continue […]

Danny Amendola's Role Growing?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I don't believe any notion that Amendola is breaking out all over again but the situation might be a lot more positive than we're assuming. Julian Edelman is hurting with drops, Dion Lewis is injured and may continue to stay injured, and […]

Stefon Diggs Quickly Ascending WR Ranks

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: He was the #1 priority waiver last week, and it's going to be no different this week. Diggs is on his way to being the waiver WR breakout for the 2015 season and should be owned. Against the Detroit Lions Diggs managed […]

Go to the Dark Side with Orleans Darkwa

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I was really interested in Darkwa entering this season, listing him constantly in my version of the running back depth charts as a player to watch. Last year he saw limited action but in his one game where he got some […]

Week 8 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 8 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 8 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you that life […]

Jays Plan To Exercise Dickey's $12-Million Club-Option

The Toronto Blue Jays are planning to exercise the club’s $12 million option on R.A. Dickey for next season. If the Jays do decide to exercise the option, it would be the veteran right-hander's final year of his deal. Dickey had a solid season in his third year in Toronto. He’s not going to be at […]

DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles... Who Is The Best Back In Philly?

The running back situation for the Philadelphia Eagles is mercurial to say the least. DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews, and Darren Sproles all play significant roles in the offense. But where should you be starting each of them on your fantasy team? Let's start off with Darren Sproles. Sproles ended Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers […]

Alfred Blue the Cure to Your Foster Blues

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Arian Foster's 2015 is unfortunately over much earlier than anticipated, and that makes Blue the next man up. Blue was decently ineffective his first time around as the starter, but the offense has changed since then and being optimistic about his potential […]

Get Tricky and Pick Up Run DMC

BALLER MOVE: Add in all Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Joseph Randle suffering a lower back injury, it was Darren McFadden who stepped in instead of Christine Michael. Although I still want to own the lottery ticket, if you're in a league where McFadden is on the waivers, he's a lottery […]

Both Cam Newton and Sam Bradford Turn in Less Than Stellar Performances on SNF

Each and every NFL game, the play of all participating quarterbacks is placed under a finely-tuned microscope. Last night’s Sunday Night Football game was no different. With the Carolina Panthers looking to remain unbeaten and the Philadelphia Eagles hoping to make right a season that’s been filled with unmet expectations, the play of both Cam Newton […]
