Curtis Granderson (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Flealflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, that's right folks. Granderson is officially a "must have" in all fantasy baseball leagues. I understand that he is already 57% owned, so calling him a waiver wire pickup is a little bit of a stretch. But at this point, he is showing that […]

Carlos Sanchez (2B, CWS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanchez has been an important factor in the recent White Sox surge, hitting .326 over his last 30 games. He’s got a chokehold on the starting second base job, meaning the at-bats will be there. While he’s got absolutely no power to speak of, […]

Jed Lowrie (SS, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Lowrie is now back for Houston. While he won’t be reclaiming the starting shortstop gig from Carlos Correa, he should start regularly at third base over the one-dimensional Luis Valbuena. Prior to landing on the disabled list, Lowrie was having an excellent season, […]

Francisco Lindor (SS, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Lindor struggled in his first few weeks after being called up, but he has begun to put things together. Over his last 15 games, Lindor is hitting .339 with nine runs scored, 10 RBIs, and even three homers. He was one of the […]

Kevin Gausman (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dylan Bundy may have arguably been baseball’s best prospect, but it is Kevin Gausman who is giving the Oriole fans what they want to see. So far in 2015 Gausman has a 4.20 ERA, a 4.04 FIP, a 1.230 WHIP, and 7.5 K/9. Gausman […]

Ryan Howard (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Scoff if you must, but the artist formerly known as The Big Piece has resembled his old self over the last month, posting a .905 OPS in that span with five homers and 23 RBI. A good chunk of that production has […]

Luis Severino (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when you thought all the rookies who will have an impact in 2015 had been called up, the Yankees explained why they refused to make a deadline trade for pitching by calling up Luis Severino. Severino was the #1 prospect in the […]

Mike Leake (SF, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: But Max, Mike Leake is owned in all my leagues! Yes, that's a real possibility with his 61% ownership, but it was just 39% last week (22% jump!) I feel the need to include him here after the CIN-SFG trade that took Leake […]

R.A. Dickey (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With all the noise Toronto made this trade deadline, it's only fitting we find a way to include a Blue Jay. Luckily for us, R.A. Dickey has given us plenty of reasons to discuss his recent spurt. Dickey has been fantastic in his […]

Aaron Brooks (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues / Stream Worthy OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Gotta love the year of the rookie. Aaron Brooks made his starting debut at home vs Cleveland and was excellent, spinning 7.1 innings of one run ball with a 5/0 K/BB ratio. Yes, it was the Indians (23rd in runs […]

Didi Gregorious (SS / 2B, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Gregorious has always been a slow starter and in this first season for the Yankees, he hasn’t changed a bit. Gregorious got off to a horrendous start in the Bronx with an April OPS of .499, then stepped it up slowly but surely in May and […]

Welcome to the Fierce 40 series of my 2015 College Football Rankings, where I will be counting down the top 40 ranked teams in the NCAA.

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds Current ADP: 115 STD, 86 PPR ANALYSIS: Duke Johnson projects to be this year's pass-catching back for the Browns. That’s a role with some questionable value, seeing as the Cleveland quarterback situation isn’t particularly good. However, Johnson is actually a very capable runner who’s only being put into a role because of […]

Week 18 Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire: Severino, Leake, Dickey, Brooks

Welcome to Week 18. Once again, there's a rookie sensation to discuss along with a former CY Young winner and another impressive rookie are on the plate.

Depth Chart Battles: San Francisco 49ers Starting Running Back

Remember back when Carlos Hyde was going to usurp Frank Gore as the 49ers starting running back in 2014? Remember even further back when Kendall Hunter was mentioned in that regard before Hyde even showed up? Well, you would think that since Gore is out of the picture entirely this backfield would be a lot more clear-cut. Sadly, […]

A Sleeper To Watch For in 2015: Dorial Green-Beckham

Around this time last year, there was considerable buzz surrounding rookie running back Bishop Sankey. Sankey automatically became a trendy sleeper within the fantasy community, but never met the expectations placed on him. Although he might not have nearly as much hype, rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham is another player selected by the Tennessee Titans that should be considered […]

Where Should You Draft Mike Evans in 2015?

Mike Evans is poised for greatness in 2015, and that could spell success for fantasy owners who value him properly. Yahoo! currently ranks Evans 12th among receivers. However, that current third round ADP is a little high for me. I can’t justify taking Evans in the third round while comparable talent goes much deeper. You shouldn’t be […]

J.T. Realmuto (C, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Realmuto was a two position star for part of his minor league career at SS and C. But when the Marlins needed him to convert to a full time catcher, he delivered. He has been given the shot this year to take over the […]

Curt Casali (C, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Casali bided his time behind the likes of Rene Rivera and Bobby Wilson to get a real shot at being the answer at backstop for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has not disappointed since receiving the vote of confidence. Casali has launched 7 HR […]

Welington Castillo (C, ARI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Castillo came over in the trade for Mark Trumbo and has helped fill the void at C for the high powered offense of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Since the trade from Seattle, Castillo has buffed his BA by 100 points to a respectful .258 with 9 HR and […]

Travis d’Arnaud (C, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Mets have been struggling to find a replacement for their young catcher since he went down with an injury in late June. But have no fear, he is back! He was hitting .280 and had a SLG% above .500. He […]

John Brown (WR, ARZ) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as WR4 CURRENT ADP: 146 STD, 103 PPR ANALYSIS: Back in 2012, a speedy receiver drafted in the third round splashed onto the NFL scene as the deep threat in a Bruce Arians offense.  Two years later, the same exact scenario happened in Arizona.  The two receivers in this […]

Brian Quick (WR, STL) – 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in middle to late rounds as a solid WR3 CURRENT ADP: 177 STD, 132 PPR ANALYSIS: Brain Quick has always had a fitting name. The 26-year-old ran a 4.55 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine a few years back, a solid time made even more impressive by the fact he stands a robust 6'3" and […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in late rounds as a possible WR3 CURRENT ADP: 170 STD, 144 PPR ANALYSIS: Foot and ankle injuries cost Marvin Jones the entirety of the 2014 season, making him a difficult player to project heading into 2015. On one hand, the 25-year-old only has two real seasons under his belt and has played a […]
