BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: A popular sleeper pick at TE each year of his career, Zach Ertz still hasn't materialized into the fantasy asset that many thought he could be.

Eddie Royal (WR, Chi.) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In Week 6, before the Bears' bye week, veteran wideout Eddie Royal looked spry and fully recovered from an ankle sprain that had him "questionable" all week. He caught five of seven targets for 49 yards as Bears quarterback Jay Cutler continued to show great […]

Albert Wilson (WR, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Albert Wilson - WR, K.C. BALLER MOVE: Add only in deepest leagues for WR depth OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Albert Wilson received increased playing time last week when top wideout Jeremy Maclin was a late scratch Sunday morning due to concussion symptoms. At 5'9", Wilson is more of a slot receiver. He should […]

Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Ind. BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues. ANALYSIS: It only seems as though Ahmad Bradshaw has been around since the Jim Fassel era. In reality, he's just 29. He's also back with the Colts after testing free agency and enduring a one-game suspension for marijuana possession. The fact no teams […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The Ravens have struggled this year (1-6), even though they have been in position to win almost every game. Joe Flacco hasn't lived up to his clutch reputation and has thrown three picks in drives that could have tied or won the game. But Flacco (61% owned) should still be on fantasy rosters in almost […]

Jose Mourinho Is Now The Worried One

Experts say one week is a long time in football. What about one month? Not sure what the experts say but the beleaguered Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho would probably say it has been a hellish eternity and given Chelsea's season thus far, who could blame him? Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Avoid in all formats OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one has ever questioned Colin Kaepernick's raw talent. He has all the physical tools to succeed, but the consistency simply isn't there this season. He's torn apart the Steelers (335 yards, 2 TDs), Giants (262 yards, 2 TDs) and Ravens (340 yards, 2 TDs), […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start as bye-week replacement OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell's fantasy value is almost exclusively tied to touchdowns. That is, when he scores them, he has value. When he doesn't ... well, he's not going to give you much else. The New York Giants' starting tight end has been targeted at […]

La Liga - A Three Horse Race Again?

For the last three seasons, the Spanish La Liga has seen the same three teams occupy the top three slots – Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. This year it's only taken nine games for the 2015-16 La Liga table to assume an all too familiar looking demeanor. Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Fallers From Week 7

Week 7 is just another page in the history books. Eddie Lacy was on a bye so he couldn't disappoint yet again, but we still had plenty of notable performances that demand context and further investigation. Again, we're not here to talk about how good Julio Jones is or how much Nick Foles stinks. Without further […]

Chris Ivory, Andre Ellington, Justin Forsett: Running Backs With Warning Signals?

I should tell you right off the bat that it's gotten increasingly difficult to identify running backs that warrant discussing for this list. The truth is, finding players that are genuinely struggling as opposed to just flat out bad is like finding a needle in a haystack at this point. Even with that little disclaimer […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had to navigate some pretty treacherous waters recently with most of his crew below deck nursing their respective ailments. Missing Steve Smith hurt Flacco dearly, and then Crockett Gillmore also missed some action and Justin Forsett was playing […]

Roddy White (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re in deeper leagues you could do a lot worse than Roddy White. He is starting to work back into the Falcons’ receiving rotation, though he is still only averaging four targets per game, and it doesn’t seem like that […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 7 was very disappointing for Dorial Green-Beckham and his owners, as well as the Tennessee Titans. Green-Beckham was coming off of a Week 6 game against Miami that saw his role expand, as he got three receptions on six targets […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle may still not have been 100% with his hamstring going into Week 7, though he should be darn close. He continues to average about six targets per game, and unfortunately he could only turn two of those into receptions […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Leonard Hankerson was ruled out of Week 7’s game against the Titans with a hamstring injury. The injury, combined with his past two games being poor (one of which he also exited early thanks to an injury) have meant that his […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Nate Washington had a heck of a game on Sunday against the Dolphins as he racked up garbage time stats.

Kamar Aiken (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely with his PCL injury requiring more rehabilitation, Aiken is in line to continue seeing snaps for Baltimore. He is still lining up as the primary #2 receiver for the Ravens after Steve Smith returned to action, […]

Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ahmad Bradshaw is going to require patience from his owners, patience and hope. It was pretty clear from the get go that Bradshaw would be worked in behind Frank Gore, allowing for the Colts to stay the path with their […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Antonio Andrews missed the first two games of the season, only to come back and score a touchdown in Weeks 3 and 5. He emerged as the clear short yardage and between the tackles running back for the Titans. Bishop Sankey […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 68% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Vereen has had three games where his PPR stats would have warranted playing him, but unfortunately he has also thrown in four games that were true stinkers. While he definitely has to be owned in PPR scoring leagues for […]

Ryan Mathews (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 76% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While owning Ryan Mathews has quite the “handcuffy” feel to it, he still has put forward three weeks out of seven that would absolutely warrant playing him. If you’re in a league with a bench spot that you aren’t extremely attached […]

Why Alfred Blue Is the Next Man Up in Houston

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yeah, Arian Foster is done for 2015.
