2015 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Rankings: 1-12

I love dynasty leagues. Getting to build and develop a team, make trades that have long-lasting impact and the complexity of decision making that goes into every move and waiver decision is so much more exciting to me than the redraft format. In my dynasties, I've had a golden rule when it comes to the […]

Russell Wilson (QB, SEA) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in 3rd Round as High-End QB1 CURRENT ADP: 37 STD, 58 PPR ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks managed to keep Marshawn Lynch and trade for Jimmy Graham, two moves that will help quarterback Russell Wilson's draft stock for 2015. A massive red zone threat, Graham is the most talented pass-catcher Wilson has ever played […]

Steven Matz (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Flealflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Okay folks - if Steven Matz is still available in your fantasy baseball league (that's 44% of you out there), stop what you are doing now and go pick him up off the waiver wire. If you don't know who to drop, find us in […]

Ervin Santana (SP, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After serving his PED suspension to start the season, Ervin Santana made his triumphant return to MLB and the Twins today. He put together a fantastic performance, throwing eight innings while racking up eight Ks, a 2.25 ERA (two ER) and a 0.75 WHIP […]

Aramis Ramirez (3B, MIL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Maybe he isn't washed up, just yet. Ramirez has been known for some big second halfs over the course of his career, and he's been heating up recently. The power isn't that great anymore, but Milwaukee has been winning games recently and he can […]

Cesar Hernandez (2B / 3B / SS, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Quick - who's the number one overall ranked player in Yahoo over the past seven days? That's right folks, it's Cesar Hernandez. Over that time, he's racked up a ridiculous eight stolen bases, to go along with a .500 batting average, seven runs and […]

Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bour is on a home run binge right now, and can be added off the waiver wire for teams looking to take a flier on some power. Over the last seven days, he's gone deep four times to go along with eight RBI, four runs […]

Brett Anderson (SP, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVER: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brett Anderson wants your attention. I’ve discussed Anderson in this section before but considering his ownership level is so small I feel required to reiterate my stance. Anderson has been a steady presence in the Dodger rotation, racking up a quality start in eight […]

Manny Banuelos (ATL, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team / NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that’s how you kill an audition for a rotation spot. Banuelos was fantastic in his Atlanta debut vs Washington, spinning 5.2 innings of two-hit shutout ball with seven strikeouts until dehydration took him out of the game in […]

Cody Anderson (SP, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Someone get Cody Anderson some butter because he's on a roll (throws tomato). The Indians could not be more ecstatic with the results from Anderson; a 0.76/0.63 pitching line with a 10/1 K/BB ratio over 23.2 innings, which included a perfect game bid through […]

Kendall Graveman (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kendall Graveman was part of the package Oakland received for Josh Donaldson, and after one month it was looking rough for the youngster; he posted an 8.27 ERA in April and the advanced stats supported his rough start. Flash forward to July and […]

Mike Montgomery (SP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Might as well start with the headliner. Montgomery has made waves with his back-to-back shutouts of KC and SD, good enough to rank #4 among SP in the past two weeks (Scherzer, Walker, Grienke, Montgomery). In 44.1 innings he has a 1.62 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, […]

Is Montgomery for Real? Week 14 Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Analysis

Happy Fourth of July weekend everybody. Hope you stuffed yourself with hot dogs, hamburgers, and light beer. More importantly, I hope you took the time to remember what the day is for and reflect on how great we have it here. If you've been following along with this series all season, you know the drill. […]

Jorge Soler (CHC, OF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 78% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: So he likely isn't available in many leagues, and he shouldn't be, but just be sure that nobody dropped him because of his DL stint. We saw what he was capable of last year at the end of the season, and it was very […]

Matt Moore (SP, TBR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Most Leagues, Add in AL-Only and Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Matt Moore struggled in his season debut Thursday against Cleveland, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in just 4.2 innings, striking out four in the no-decision. This was his first start since April 7, 2014, as he spent over […]

Brett Anderson (SP, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Most Leagues, Add in NL-Only and Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Brett Anderson has won three straight starts, has tossed eight quality starts in his last nine quality outings and has a 69/26 K/BB rate. So why in the heck is he owned in less than a quarter of Yahoo leagues? I […]

Bryan Shaw (RP, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues for Holds ANALYSIS: Reliever Bryan Shaw is having another solid season for the Indians. After a year with an ERA in the 2.50 range, the 27-year-old Shaw currently has an ERA approaching 2.00, and he is doing it with his usual two-pitch repertoire. Relying on movement, Shaw turns to a […]

Atlanta Falcons: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Despite being a fantasy friendly franchise, the Atlanta Falcons have suffered through several disappointing NFL seasons in a row. The 2014 campaign ended up being the last they could endure with their long time coach Mike Smith and they ultimately decided to make some coaching changes. With Smith out, new Head Coach Dan Quinn and […]

Clay Buchholz (SP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Even when a pitcher struggles, the good ones always seem to figure it out. Clay Buchholz has always had electric stuff and if there was ever a time to buy in again that time is now. The Boston Red Sox are struggling […]

Joe Panik (2B, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Panik is the prototypical glue guy to any team. For the San Francisco Giants it means he does a little bit of everything and is virtually irreplaceable. For fantasy owners he is the type of player that wins owners championships. […]

Mitch Moreland (1B / DH, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Is it too late for a 29-year-old, who was taken in the 17th round, to finally break out? Mitch Moreland would say this was all apart of the plan and everyone should take notice. Moreland's career .258 BA and .319 OBP does […]

Neal Walker (2B, PIT) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 65% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Neil Walker has been on a tear recently, hitting .600 in the month of July. Overall, however, Walker is actually just shy of his career norms. His current triple slash line is .278/.344/.419 with 6 HR, still solid production from a middle […]

Brad Ziegler (RP, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues. OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Brad Ziegler has officially supplanted Addison Reed as the closer in Arizona. Considering that Ziegler was second in all of baseball in the month of June with nine saves, you would think that more than 9% of leagues would have a home […]

Tyler Flowers (C, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher and AL-only leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite early struggles stemming from a BB/K ratio of 0.17, Tyler Flowers has really put the "petal" to the metal and has seen his power blossom. I know you liked that one. Flowers began the season poorly with an March/April […]
