BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: With Alex Gordon out for the next eight weeks, Dyson becomes a very interesting play in all leagues. Speed is the name of his game as he doesn't offer any power, but 130 steals in 395 games is pretty impressive. Ned Yost […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: 147 STD, 103 PPR ANALYSIS: With a potentially healthy Carson Palmer, the Cardinals could back on track in 2015, and second-year wide receiver John Brown could be a major beneficiary of Arizona's pass-happy offense. He finished in the top 10 in several major rookie receiving stats last year, […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: 181 STD, 162 PPR ANALYSIS: With Reggie Wayne out of town, the Colts' offense, which led the league in passing in 2014, will run through the hands of T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief. With only 32 targets last year, Moncrief ranked third among rookies in WR rating. Given that he […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: 129 STD, 100 PPR ANALYSIS: With only 38 targets, Davante Adams received less attention than many first year wideouts in 2014, but a few key aspects make him stand out heading into 2015.

Luis Valbuena (3B / 2B, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Valbuena is nursing a sprained big toe, but that doesn’t appear to be negatively impacting him at the plate. June was actually his best month of the year, as he compiled an .883 OPS with nine homers and 32 R+RBI. Valbuena continues to be […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bour homered in four consecutive games last week, giving him 10 on the year. That tends to draw the attention of fantasy owners, but he’s still free in nine out of every 10 leagues. Michael Morse is nearly recovered from his back injury, but […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s been a difficult season for Ramirez, who has looked every bit his 37 years of age more often than not.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sano has hit safely in every game since his promotion and went yard for the first time last night. The 22 year old has been thrust right into the middle of the Twins’ lineup and, to his credit, hasn’t looked overmatched. He’ll get plenty of […]

Kevin White (WR, CHI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~60 Overall in Standard Leagues, Top Five in Dynasty Leagues CURRENT ADP: 88 STD, 83 PPR ANALYSIS: The combination of his ability to make spectacular catches and his football IQ makes rookie Kevin White a feared player right away, but he still has a lot of room to grow. New Bears head coach John […]

Depth Chart Battles: Falcons Running Backs Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman

When the Atlanta Falcons selected Tevin Coleman out of Indiana in the third round, the assumption was that he would automatically become the starting running back.
