Week 12 Deeper Sleepers: Stacking Texans and Dealing With the Injury Bug

Did you enjoy the quick reprieve of mostly-injury-free football we experienced in Week 10? Good, because Week 11 was a bloodbath. We saw four high-end running backs go down (Devonta Freeman, Charcandrick West, Justin Forsett, Marshawn Lynch) along with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Zach Ertz leaving with concussions. Same rules as always - in this column we will […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: C.J. Miles is in the zone right now. The Pacers shooting guard/small forward has been shooting as well as he ever has in his career the last few games. On Tuesday night though, despite a sore ankle, Miles put together a […]

Gary Harris (SG, DEN) Making Most of Extra Minutes

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS:  Gary Harris has been getting more consistent minutes in the Denver starting lineup and it's starting to pay dividends. Over the last three games Harris has averaged 17.0 points, 2.7 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals in 29.0 minutes per game. The […]

Jeff Green (SG/SF, MEM) Worth Adding in All Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Yahoo! Fantasy Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Green started out the 2015-16 campaign on the bench, but has earned a place in the starting lineup now for Memphis. Talent has never been a question with Green but a heart condition looked like it was going to derail […]

Week 12 Wide Receiver Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Wide receivers are one of the most critical components, and a core building block, for all fantasy football teams. This is especially true in PPR formats, where fantasy owners are rewarded for every catch that a wide receiver makes. We are here to help you plan your wide receiver draft strategy, and to target the […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire - Filling In For Marshawn Lynch, Charcandrick West, Justin Forsett

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Twelve The eleventh Sunday of the season is through, and as most people assumed the return of Tony Romo was the exact medicine the Cowboys needed to end their losing streak. In other great news, Cam Newton continues to dance and we're okay with that. Apparently Ron Rivera also dabbled in the […]

Brian Hoyer/DeAndre Hopkins Poised For a Big Week 12 Against An Awful New Orleans Saints Defense

Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer has passed all of the league concussion protocol testing and will be the Week 12 starter, per Coach Bill O’Brien. Before Hoyer was injured, he was averaging very respectful numbers for fantasy football lineups. In the past five games before his concussion, he averaged 269 passing yards and threw for […]

Johnny Manziel Demoted, Josh McCown/Gary Barnidge to Resume Power Numbers in Week 12

Just last week, Johnny Manziel was given the reins of the Cleveland Browns and was named starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Unfortunately for him, he continues to be his own worst enemy. A video of Manziel holding a bottle of alcohol as he partied with friends surfaced just a few days ago. […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Stash away Owned In: 77% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Andre Ellington has really only had three productive fantasy weeks this season. Chris Johnson has emerged as the starting back and gets the lion's share of carries while rookie David Johnson has been targeted more than Ellington in the air lately. After his game-winning touchdown […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 12

The best NFL teams usually show themselves by Thanksgiving. It seems likes that's the Patriots, Cardinals, and Panthers, in that order. It will take a complete game to beat those teams. The rest of the league looks incredibly even. Bye weeks are finally done, but the NFL scheduling keeps getting worse and worse. There are […]

Chris Givens (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Since being acquired from the Rams, Chris Givens has seen a steady rise in targets, but he hasn't turned the targets into much production yet. With 14 targets in the last two weeks, he only has six catches for 62 yards and a TD. His prospects of being Joe Flacco's new deep threat made him an interesting […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) -Waiver Wire Pickups

After months of disappointing fantasy performance, Darren Sproles bounced back and was one of the few positives for the Eagles in their blowout loss to the Buccaneers. With three catches for 38 yards and a TD, Sproles had his first productive fantasy game since Week 3. He remains most valuable in PPR leagues, but with Ryan Mathews now out for […]

Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

While not the most exciting pickup, Coby Fleener offers some utility to fantasy players looking for value at a thin TE position. Fleener only has 36 catches for 325 yards and two TDs this season, disappointing owners who hoped he would replicate or improve last year's production. But he should continue to see enough targets to […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add and stash Owned In: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Luckily for his owners and those looking to swoop in and grab Antonio Andrews off the wire, there is no other real threat out of the backfield for the Tennessee Titans. Dexter McCluster will miss 2-3 weeks because of a sprained MCL and […]

Jonathan Grimes (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Alfred Blue, stash in deep leagues Owned In: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The Houston Texans have not suddenly forgotten about Arian Foster, but the dynamic efforts of Alfred Blue and Jonathan Grimes in the backfield have certainly sufficed. Against the New York Jets last week, both caught all three of […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in dynasty leagues Owned in: 34% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: While fading rookie receivers is not the strong play it used to be in fantasy drafts, the case of Nelson Agholor reminds us that it's still hazardous. As a first-rounder stepping into a starting role in a dynamic offense, the USC product was supposed to […]

Charcandrick West Not Practicing, Ryan Mathews Ruled Out and Jordan Reed Good to Go

If you own Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West in any fantasy football leagues, you will not be happy to hear that he was not practicing on Wednesday. West is dealing with a hamstring injury and it sounds like it is unlikely that he’ll suit up on Sunday. If West doesn’t play, Knile Davis […]

Sam Bradford Questionable, Devonta Freeman Not Yet Cleared and Frank Gore Misses Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Week 12 game against the Detroit Lions. Considering Bradford was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday, it would seem as if he will play on Thanksgiving. However, you never know with coach Chip Kelly. Despite having a good matchup this week, […]

Jonathan Stewart and Darren McFadden Giving Thanks to their Increased Workload

Jonathan Stewart and Darren McFadden will compete in a figurative pulling of the wish bone during Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup of the undefeated Carolina Panthers and suddenly rejuvenated Dallas Cowboys. The Panthers look to stay unbeaten, continuing their magical 2015 run while the Cowboys simply cling onto their dear playoff lives, now with Tony Romo back […]

Richard Rodgers (TE, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues Owned in: 46% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Richard Rodgers could have to carry the load at tight end for Green Bay for another week if Andrew Quarless does not make his expected return off temporary IR. Head coach Mike McCarthy had nothing new to report on Quarless, who has been out since Week 3 […]

DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles Looking to be Thankful for their Thanksgiving Performances

There has to be something special about sharing a football field on a day where families across the country are sharing a dinner table, passing plates of stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Every year it seems like an individual or team shines on Turkey Day, and this season, two Philadelphia Eagles running backs can […]

Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues as TE2. Owned in: 54% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Fantasy owners of Charles Clay likely expected more from the third-highest-paid TE in the league. But considering his career averages and the fact he plays for Rex Ryan's plodding, run-first offense, that may have been a bit unrealistic. Clay, a former fullback, […]

Joseph Randle Arrested, Case Keenum Expected to Start and Matt Forte Is Good to Go

Former Dallas Cowboys running back and current free agent Joseph Randle was arrested at a Kansas casino on Tuesday night. According to a TMZ report, Randle was told to leave the casino because he was clearly drunk. While he was leaving he spit on the floor and reportedly “went berserk” on police escorting him out. […]

Marshawn Lynch Has Hernia Surgery, Stedman Bailey Shot and Christian Ponder Works Out in Denver

If you own Marshawn Lynch in any fantasy football leagues, I hope you have Thomas Rawls on your roster as well because it doesn’t sound like Beast Mode will be able to help you anymore this season. On Wednesday morning Lynch had sports hernia surgery and is expected to miss “about a month,” according to […]
