Week 16 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Will Tye, Jared Cook and Jordan Cameron

It all comes down to this…for some of you! If you are lucky enough to be alive in the playoffs in your fantasy football league, you are either in your semifinals or you are in the Super Bowl because your league skips the last week of the season.  So every point you get from your […]

Week 16 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins & Johnny Manziel

Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable. Meanwhile Alex Smith fell victim to game flow as the Chiefs went up 21-7 early behind a big Charcandrick West run and a defensive score. […]

Week 16 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 16 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 16 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you […]

Bilal Powell the Jet's Secret Receiving Weapon

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It appears the Jets have finally found a really nice way to utilize Powell out of the backfield. He is showing some strength in his runs and his usually reliable set of hands in the passing game. With defenses trying their […]

Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) and Kenneth Faried (PF, DEN) - DraftKings Stack for 12/22

Jameer Nelson (vs LAL, $5,400) The only team worse than the Nuggets at defending the point is….drumroll, please….the Lakers. Big surprise, right? Truth be told, I am not in love with Nelson here, but he is the best option in an otherwise poor field. Lou Williams presents some value but will most likely be splitting time with D’Angelo Russell […]

James White "Catching On" to Patriot Way

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% owned in Fleaflicker <-- yes I cheated a smidge to include him. ANALYSIS: If James White is somehow still available in PPR leagues you need to get him. Even if standard though, he has proven that he is trusted by Tom Brady in the passing attack […]

James Johnson (SF, TOR) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/22

James Johnson (vs DAL, $3,900) For simple value purposes, Johnson makes sense. Toronto has been reeling offensively and will need anyone to step up. The injury to DeMarre Carroll pushed Johnson into the starting lineup and the recent poor play of Lowry has forced him to become a scorer. Johnson has scored at least 26.25 DraftKings points over his […]

Replacing Shady: K-Will/Gillislee Tandem

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues/Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: Karlos Williams: 46% owned in Fleaflicker / Mike Gillislee: 1% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: LeSean McCoy is reportedly now dealing with a torn MCL and is considered "week-to-week" with a hope that he returns for Week 17. What this means for you is that […]

Spencer Ware Looks to Pound Browns

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware was an "emergency only" option at running back on Sunday (he registered two snaps), so Charcandrick West got to do all of the lifting. If Ware does come back into the fold for Week 16 though, Ware is the bigger guy who […]

Restarting the Christine Michael Hype Train

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 17% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I can't believe I'm finally writing this, but here we are. Christine Michael is your add out of the Seahawks backfield after he ran with purpose against a crappy Cleveland defense, going for 84 yards on 16 carries. When you rush for […]

NBA Centers: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

There are three repeat performers on the waiver wire list this week. They have been here before because they showed flashes of having a potentially sustained stretch of productive basketball. All three have continued to perform and are back because they just can't be ignored anymore. The final waiver wire candidate is a rookie that […]

Jordan Cameron a Desperation TE Play in Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming into the year, what fantasy owners worried most about Cameron was that he had suffered a couple concussions and might be one more away from missing an entire season or even retiring.  But that hasn’t been his problem at all because […]

Jared Cook Can Get Your Team Cookin' Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Play in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The St. Louis pass offense is downright offensive between its lack of talent, lack of execution and lack of creativity. But if the Rams have been doing anything right the past month-plus it has been attempting to force passes to Cook, something […]

Will Tye is Your Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE Streamer OWNED IN: 8% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It is time to jump on the fantasy bandwagon of the man with the short but sweet name.  If you thought he was a fluke then you must have thought Devonta Freeman, Allen Robinson and Jordan Reed were flashes in the pan, […]

NBA Forwards: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello again and welcome to another week of waiver wire decisions and another group of three forwards (one you've seen before from me) who can add a spark to the middle of your lineup. Hopefully these players reach the rosters of Fantasy Basketball Managers in time for them to have a Happy Holidays and cash […]

NBA Guards: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The first two guys are on the waiver wire list this week because you have to go get them now before it's too late. Both have shown in the past that they can produce and are starting to look like they will do it again. The other two guys are injured players looking to make […]

NBA Under-Performing Stars: Center Edition

It’s the holiday season, and I hope everyone is in festive spirits despite the struggles of the center on their roster. There is good news, though. Odds are that you probably weren’t counting on your center being the main scoring contributor for your team anyway. Typically speaking, centers should be very consistent in their production […]

Which Packers Can Be Trusted In The Fantasy Football Championships

The Green Bay Packers were supposed to be one of the few trustworthy fantasy offenses this season but inconsistencies have plagued fantasy owners with frustration and doubt. The Packers fantasy stars were all shockingly quiet on Sunday against a poor Oakland Raiders defense. This has led to the question of if you can trust Green […]

Desperate Times Call for Jeremy Butler

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If you're dipping into the Baltimore Ravens' player pool for a wide receiver, Kamar Aiken is the one you'll want, but Jeremy Butler has also been on a nice little streak. One week after catching seven passes for 72 yards against Seattle, Butler […]

Keep an Eye on Keshawn Martin

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin had just three catches for 26 yards in Sunday's win against the Tennessee Titans. Those numbers aren't worth writing home about, but the bigger news is that Danny Amendola left the game with a knee injury. If Amendola is unable to play […]

Devin Funchess Could See an Increase in Targets

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Outside of tight end Greg Olsen and Ted Ginn (at least lately), the Panthers have marched to 14-0 without relying on a consistent target in the passing game. Jerricho Cotchery, Corey Brown and Devin Funchess all get into the mix to varying degrees […]

2016 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Starting Pitcher (Part 1)

Oh yes, it’s time to peek in at the beautiful landscape for starting pitching heading into the 2016 fantasy baseball season. A brief note, our rankings were submitted on December 6th before the full weight of the winter meetings came down. These initial rankings won’t reflect the moves of guys like Zack Greinke to ARI […]

Kyle Lowry (PG, TOR) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/22

Kyle Lowry (vs. DAL, $8,700) While Jameer Nelson provides some nice value at his price, it just doesn't make sense to leave money on the table at this position. You'll find all sorts of value at other spots, so mine as well load up on the studs here. Lowry hasn't been himself lately, but Dallas […]

Reggie Jackson (PG, DET) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Stack on FanDuel 12/22

Reggie Jackson (at MIA, $7,600) Jackson is the epitome of a tournament play. He has two 55-FDP performances in his past three games, but he has the potential to fall short of 30 too. On a short slate, I don't mind the idea of taking a chance on Jackson. He should take control of the […]

Chandler Parsons (SF, DAL) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/22

Chandler Parsons (at TOR, $4,300) Parsons has finally gotten up to 30 minutes a game, and a report came out that this trend will continue. At this price, that's a bargain. There are virtually zero other options at small forward Tuesday, so this pairing is not only due to value, but total points as well.

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/20/15

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Two slate on tap for Sunday and they are filling up mega fast. The early games look to feature a little more blow out potential (cough cough, Cleveland and Philly), but the late games should be action packed. In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings […]

Don't Sleep on Jermaine Kearse In Seattle

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks' passing attack is, quite simply, playing at an unstoppable pace. Over the last five games, quarterback Russell Wilson has thrown 19 touchdowns against zero interceptions. Read that again -- not a single interception! The biggest beneficiaries have been Doug Baldwin […]

DeVante Parker Continues to Improve

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a slow buildup for DeVante Parker in his rookie season, but he's finally showing the flashes of talent that made him the No. 14 overall pick this past April. The former Louisville standout finished with four catches for a career-high 87 […]
