Three's Not a Crowd For Jamison Crowder

BALLER MOVE: FAAB Bid: $1 - 2 OWNED IN: 6% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeSean Jackson returning is going to cut into Jamison Crowder's snaps, but Washington can't be too picky when it comes to having someone effective on the offensive end.

Thomas Rawls a Nice Stash For Rest of Season

BALLER MOVE: FAAB Bid: $6 - 10 / Lynch Owner: $16 - 20 OWNED IN: 30% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Marshawn Lynch out in Week 5, Thomas Rawls was "the guy" again for Seattle over the veteran Fred Jackson.

Running Backs Waiver Wire: Week 6 Pickups & Adds

If my friends didn't use such horrific language, I'd post a screenshot of the string of separate text messages I got at 2:53 pm on Sunday. All of them were along the lines of "Nooooooo" or "Not again!" or "he looked like he got shot!" 2:53 pm will be the minute in time that changes […]

Derek Carrier Is A Sneaky Tight End Waiver Option

FAAB Bid: $1-2, 3% owned in Fleaflicker In deep leagues maybe a lot of the fun tight end options to date have been owned for a while, but Jordan Reed's injury opened the door for Derek Carrier to come in and produce. While he didn't see a lot of volume, he still turned three targets into […]

Richard Rodgers (GB, TE) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

FAAB Bid: $4 - 6, 42% owned in Fleaflicker Richard Rodgers is the only real tight end the Packers have left, and it's becoming clear that Aaron Rodgers does notice Richard Rodgers out there as the weeks go along.

Gary Barnidge Is A Must-Have Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $8 - 10, 46% owned in Fleaflicker Momma there goes that man again. Gary Barnidge had an insane between the legs catch that highlighted another stellar day for the not so young tight end. He turned 10 targets into eight receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown on the aforementioned highlight play. There is […]

Jamison Crowder (WSH, WR) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

FAAB Bid: $1 - 2, 6% owned in Fleaflicker DeSean Jackson returning is going to cut into Crowder's snaps, but Washington can't be too picky when it comes to having someone effective on the offensive end.

How Much To Bid On Kamar Aiken - Week 6 Waivers

FAAB Bid: $4 - 6, 18% owned in Fleaflicker With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely and Steve Smith Sr. out with his rib injury, Aiken caught four balls on nine targets for 78 yards.

Stash Brandon LaFell Off The Waiver Wire

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 39% owned in Fleaflicker Brandon LaFell is eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 7, and while that's a tough draw against the Jets, you are going to want to get ahead of the curve on this one if you can. The Patriots' offense is a juggernaut, and LaFell is […]

Antonio Andrews Is A Sneaky Running Back Add

FAAB Bid: $6-8, 18% owned in Fleaflicker Andrews was hurt as the year started and Bishop Sankey had a crazy first week against Tampa Bay, which anchored a lot of people's mentality to not even look for Andrews. But he clearly jumped over Terrance West for short yardage duties, as well as proving himself to be a […]

Charles Sims, A Strong PPR Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 / FAAB Bid in PPR League: $8 - 10, 54% owned in Fleaflicker Speaking of these pass catching running backs, maybe Sims is still available in your league.

Blake Bortles, An Elite Waiver Wire Pickup?

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 38% owned in Fleaflicker Don't move too quickly to the waiver wire, as Bortles still looks very skittish and easily alarmed in the pocket and is now reportedly dealing with a Grade 1 sprain in his AC Joint (which has a small effect on throwing motion, but the worst is when […]
