Our tiered defense rankings are your guide to making waiver wire pickups and adds to improve your lineups, and to decide which defenses to start, sit, target, avoid or […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 14: Ted Ginn Jr., Dorial Green-Beckham, Tyler Lockett

It's here. Finally. No, not Star Wars: The Force Awakens, nor Christmas, though both are inching closer. The fantasy football postseason is finally here! If you play in season-long redraft leagues, this is what you've been working toward all season. The standard format generally features a 13-week regular season, followed by a three- or four-week playoff bracket […]

Week 14 Deeper NFL Sleepers: Gems for the Playoffs

We are here. If you're reading this, you've made the playoffs in your fantasy league and are gearing up for a first-round matchup or preparing for a bye. Regardless, congratulations. Same rules as always - in this column we will be looking at NFL players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. These players can […]

Week 14 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Luke Willson, Will Tye and Clive Walford

Week 14 is the last week of the regular season in many fantasy leagues, while it could also be the opening round of the playoffs in other leagues depending on the postseason structure.  So this is not the time to make a fantasy lineup mistake. If you still haven’t plugged the gaping hole left behind […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Could Build off His Breakout Game

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham finally broke out in a big way this past weekend, piling up 119 yards and a touchdown on five catches against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Tennessee Titans' rookie has shown flashes this season, but he posted his first 100-yard game in the back-and-forth […]

Tyler Lockett Has Emerged as a Reliable Weapon

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin was the popular waiver wire pickup this week, coming on the heels of a 145-yard, three-touchdown explosion. Baldwin was great again Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings (94 yards, two touchdowns), but so too was Tyler Lockett, who snagged a career-high seven passes […]

Week 14 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: White, Draughn and Andrews Lead the Way

Each week, this article will aim to highlight running backs that you should consider targeting on your league's waiver wire. I've split these players up into three tiers from most desirable to most desperate. Additionally, I've included players at the bottom of this list that I would be comfortable cutting as I don't see them […]

More Injuries Mean More Targets for Keshawn Martin (WR, NE)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin was targeted eight times in Sunday's upset loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but he only caught three passes for a mere 45 yards. He also dropped a pair of passes late in the game. So what's the upside here? Well, he's still a […]

Chris Givens (WR, BAL) Could Thrive in Garbage Time

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As the number three option on a struggling offense led by a backup quarterback, it's tough to recommend Chris Givens for anything but the deepest of leagues. However, he was targeted eight times Sunday, trailing only running back Javorius "Buck" Allen (13) and […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 14 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

So Week 13 has come and gone with no real major injuries causing any little owned player to leap out as the "must-add" as we head into the playoff season. Allen Hurns is slated to return next week so Rashad Greene isn't too interesting, and Dontrelle Inman had a very scary looking neck injury but […]

Brandon Coleman's (WR, NO) Value Hinges on the Health of Others

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Any value Brandon Coleman has moving forward will be exclusively tied to the health of Willie Snead. Coleman finished Sunday's loss to Carolina with four catches for 73 yards and a touchdown with Snead inactive due to a calf injury. Coleman was a popular […]

Ted Ginn (WR, CAR) Has Hit-or-Miss Potential

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Just when you think it's safe to give up on Ted Ginn, the veteran pulls you back in. A week after failing to see even a single target in Carolina's Thanksgiving rout of the Dallas Cowboys, Ginn torched the New Orleans Saints for […]

2016 Top Five Catcher Keeper Values

What Have We Here? It's good to have a methodology. Today, we'll discuss the top five catcher keepers using a keeper value tool I developed. Many keeper leagues have a cost to keeping players. I wanted to incorporate that opportunity cost into my formula. These rankings are derived from my 15 step formula. The Keeper Valuation […]

Brian Hartline (WR, CLE) Has Earned Himself a Major Role in Cleveland

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is certainly not a flashy pick, but it's a relatively safe one, particularly in PPR leagues. Brian Hartline has at least six receptions and 70 yards in each of Cleveland's last three games. Again, hardly flashy, but there's something to be said […]

Ameer Abdullah a Good Bench Stash

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 57% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ameer Abdullah is still a very skilled player, the only problem is he's playing on limited touches. At this point in the season it's hard to see him escaping his role and earning himself the feature spot on this offense. However, he's […]

Week 14 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 14 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 14 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you […]

Spencer Ware: KC's Goal Line Back

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Charcandrick West OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available in most leagues, Ware and West are in a timeshare where Ware seems to have the redzone area on lockdown. He's been a better rusher than West on the season, so he may be able to find a bigger role on […]

Scoop Up James White

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James White operated as the lead back for the majority of the Patriots game against the Eagles. He managed to have the ninth highest receiving yardage amongst all players in week 13 (as of Sunday night) and might be able to keep […]

Respect Shaun Draughn

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Somehow Shaun Draughn has managed to find a startable FLEX floor in nearly any kind of league. He's seeing a regular 40 yards in the air and 40 yards on the ground and has become one of Blaine Gabbert's most used […]

Javorius Allen Turning the Volume Up

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available on just under half of all waiver wires, Allen is proving to be a much better player than expected- kinda. Allen still isn't much of a ground threat, but with 10 yards per reception and a huge volume to work […]

Brian Hoyer's Receivers Are Keeping Him Relevant

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer has had at least 14 fantasy points in eight of his 10 games this season. The two in which he didn’t, he missed at least 15 snaps due to being benched and an injury. In his most recent game, he […]

Jameis Winston Is an Enticing Start Against the Saints

BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues, Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We’ve gotten to the point where starting a quarterback against the Saints is just an automatic thing. The Saints are now up to a whopping 35 touchdowns allowed to six interceptions after giving up five more to Cam […]

Grab Tyrod Taylor While He's Hot

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor has at least 25 points in two consecutive games, and I’m shocked his ownership is this low after the game he had against the Chiefs. He added three passing touchdowns again vs. the Texans in Week 13, while also notching his […]

Fantasy Risers: Tyrod Taylor and Javorius Allen Increase In Value

Each week in fantasy football, there are a handful of players who show their true colors and distance themselves from the rest of the league. They might not be the biggest of names, but there’s still real fantasy value there and an opportunity for invaluable points to be brought in later on in the fantasy […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett

Clearly, at the start of the season, the Seattle Seahawks were in complete and total disarray. Sure, Kam Chancellor’s holdout and some tough opponents might have had something to do with it, but there’s no denying the fact that the Seahawks didn’t appear to be living up to their full potential on the field. Well, […]

Fantasy Fallers: Philip Rivers and Todd Gurley Fail to Meet Expectations

The reality of the NFL is that good players, sooner or later, are going to fall on hard times. From Tom Brady and Peyton Manning to Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch, nobody is exempt from the sporadic, on-field tragedy. Now, your job as a fantasy football fanatic is to successfully identify these downward trends before […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Julio Jones Struggles as Jeremy Maclin Excels

The life of a wide receiver in the NFL can be an interesting one. Why? Well, think about it—as a wideout, you’re not entirely responsible for your success while out on the field. If the ball’s being thrown your way, you’re then eligible for dominance or complete and total failure. When it isn’t, either you’re […]
