Jon Gray Shut Down For The Rest Of The Season

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray will be shut down for the rest of the season because he reached his innings limit.

Puig (Hamstring) Ran Bases Wednesday: Return Still Questionable

Yasiel Puig ran the bases before Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks as the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder tries to recover from a nagging hamstring issue.

Adam Jones (Back) Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Adam Jones was out of the lineup again on Tuesday for the Baltimore Orioles against the Washington Nationals. Jones was not going to start on Monday but the game was postponed.

Ryan Braun is out once again on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder was sidelined for his fourth straight game due to a back injury which will require surgery after the season.

Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 25

Here we are - the last SP Buy/Sell of the season. It seems like just yesterday I was giving you such stellar advice as "trade Zack Greinke" and "buy low on Anibal Sanchez." The lesson, as always: Never trust the experts...or a man in a blue trenchcoat. Once more unto the breach, dear friends.   […]

James Starks (RB, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Another week another injury...this one is with Green Bay Packers starting running back Eddie Lacy.  Last week Lacy went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter.  His backup, James Starks, did a bang up job replacing him toting […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With LeGarrette Blount suspended and Jonas Gray sent to the waiver wire at the end of the preseason, Lewis looked great in Week 1 against the Steelers, contributing as both a rusher (69 yards) and receiver (51 yards) in his first action since the Eagles […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (14+) OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As a Falcons fan, this pains me to say. But it's looking like Roddy White is getting phased out of the offense. When asked about his one-target, no catch performance on Sunday, he told reporters there wasn't any extra attention paid to him by […]

EPL Fantasy Team Of The Week - Match Day Six

  GK – Adrian – West Ham United Adrian was sensational on Saturday, tallying eight saves in West Ham’s 2-1 upset victory over Man City.

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Travis Benjamin has three touchdowns on only six catches through two games, and is clearly the top deep threat in Cleveland. His lack of targets (only four in Week 2) is what’s discouraging, although that could be due largely in part to the […]

Cleveland Browns (DEF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Matchup Streamer (FAAB: $2) OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Talk about a complete 180. After registering zero points in standard leagues Week 1, they put 21 this week. The Browns came out in their home opener, and emasculated Marcus Mariota and the Titans. They harassed him for seven sacks and added three fumbles (two […]

Leonard Hankerson (ATL, WR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues (FAAB Bid: $3-5) OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Roddy White owners are freaking out. Hankerson was buried in Washington for a while, and never really did anything special. It was speculated that if Roddy White gets hurt, Hankerson could step into some nice value as a WR2 in […]

Crockett Gillmore (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (FAAB Bid: $7-9) OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Watch out AFC North: Joe Flacco has found his next Dennis Pitta, and he's got an awesome name.

James Starks (RB, GB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (FAAB: $18-25) OWNED IN: 14% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Calling Starks a sleeper at this point may be a stretch, but we're going to discuss him anyways. Eddie Lacy gave fantasy owners a heart attack on Sunday night when he took a rough fall on his ankle, immediately leading pundits to wonder […]

Ty Montgomery (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This season the Green Bay Packer receiving depth will be tested. With Jordy Nelson already on season-ending IR, his replacement Davante Adams went down with an ankle injury in Week 2 as well. The good news is, the injury doesn't seem to be […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team STD / All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 59% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If anyone has been watching the Giants games, the only competent player other than Odell Beckham Jr. is Shane Vereen. That is why I'm shocked to see that he is only 59% owned in fantasy leagues. Vereen should be owned in […]
