It's time to talk waiver wire for Week 6 of the 2015 NFL season. Fortunately, there's once again more than a few great wide receiver options. We'll be taking a look at a combination of new players to make the waiver wire list, as well as one or two who were recommended last week, but […]

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 […]

Our tiered defense rankings are your guide to making waiver wire pickups and adds to improve your lineups, and to decide which defenses to start, sit, target, avoid or stream […]

Week 6 Deeper Sleepers: All In On Snead

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Not to toot my own horn, but if you followed my picks last week you killed it in Week 5. Josh McCown, Gary Barnidge, Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin, and the Falcons Defense all had excellent outings […]

Week 5 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Fantasy aside, the fifth week of NFL action featured some entertaining match-ups that should make us all appreciate the game of football in general. I say that as both a real-life football fan and as someone who got absolutely destroyed in almost every fantasy league this week. Nevertheless, this isn’t all about me so let’s […]

FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 6 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

So there's one obvious situation that demands attention above all else. Jamaal Charles has suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the 2015 NFL season. For Charles owners this is devastating, and drastic action needs to be taken, and for non-Charles owners, well you get a chance to take his replacement hostage and try […]

RotoBaller Radio is On @ 9:30 PM – Week Six Waiver Wire Pickups & Injury Updates

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. While Rodgers didn't find the end zone in Week 5, he saw eight targets, ending with six […]

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. DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon will be good for them, but with Jordan Reed sidelined, Crowder should absolutely take over those […]

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. As was said here last week: he's not a world beater out there, but he's talented enough to convert additional targets into production that you're […]

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 […]

Week 6 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 6 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 6 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you that life […]

Thomas Rawls Still A Priority Waiver Wire Add?

FAAB Bid: $6 - 10 / Lynch Owner: $16 - 20, 30% owned in Fleaflicker With Marshawn Lynch out, Thomas Rawls was "the guy" again for Seattle over the veteran Fred Jackson. Rawls had another stellar day, with 169 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. It's almost a shame that Lynch is going to be coming back […]

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. He has looked exceptionally elusive and quick this year, while last year he appeared to be indecisive and just wasn't converting on his […]

Charcandrick West vs. Knile Davis - Week 6 Waiver Wire Blues

Charcandrick West (KC, RB) FAAB Bid: $20 - 25 / Charles Owner FAAB Bid: 80% of your bankroll Knile Davis (KC, RB) FAAB Bid: $10 - 12 / Charles Owner FAAB Bid: $20-25 There's no avoiding this one, Jamaal Charles appears to be all but confirmed for sitting out the rest of 2015. Knile Davis has […]

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 […]

Is Brian Hoyer A Worthy Waiver Add for Week 6

FAAB Bid: $2 - 3, 8% owned in Fleaflicker I've got to include a desperation option, or for those in competitive two quarterback leagues. Ryan Mallett needed to take a play off, and Brian Hoyer never gave the starting gig back on Thursday night. Texans' Head Coach Bill O'Brien has pivoted back to Brian Hoyer as […]

Lagares Starting Game 3 In CF: Cuddyer Benched Again

Juan Lagares will start in center field again for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for the second straight day. The New York Mets will go with the same lineup that produced 13 runs during Game 3 on Monday. Lagares went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three […]

Cano (Sports Hernia) Undergoes Surgery

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a sports hernia. Cano has been dealing with the injury throughout the second half of the season. The surgery was a success and the six-time All-Star will require six weeks of recovery time. He should be good enough be at Seattle’s Spring Training. […]

Puig (Hamstring) Starts Game 4 For Dodgers

Yasiel Puig will make his first start of the 2015 postseason on Tuesday for Game 4 against the New York Mets. The combination of a late-season hamstring strain and all right-handers for the Mets have caused a banged up Puig to come off the bench for the Dodgers. Since left-hander Steven Matz is on the […]

Molina (Thumb) Not In Cards Game 4 Lineup

Yadier Molina is not in the St. Louis Cardinals starting lineup for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Molina was set to be in the lineup, but Cardinals manager Mike Matheny decided to sit the 33-year-old because of the ongoing pain in his thumb. Tony Cruz will get his first […]

Joe Flacco Still Underowned, Strong Week 6 Matchup Awaits

FAAB Bid: $3 - 4, 58% owned in Fleaflicker Perhaps people dropped him for a hotter option since Steve Smith Sr. went down with an injury, and it is noteworthy that most of Flacco's value against the Browns came from his legs (two rushing touchdowns). That said, he gets to face the San Francisco secondary that […]

PGA DFS: DraftKings Fantasy Golf Sleeper Picks and Advice for the Frys.com Open

The last tournament was played two weeks ago and now golf is back! Wait, is that a good thing? I really wish there were a little golf break as to really make me miss the game. Unfortunately there is none. Watching golf on weekends will become immensely more difficult with football in the mix. Golf in the winter […]

Justin Forsett Owners Must Add Javorius Allen

FAAB Bid: $3 - 5, 8% owned in Fleaflicker Don't look now, but the Ravens are running really thin on running backs. Justin Forsett does appear to have managed the dreaded high ankle sprain, but his health is a question mark going into Week 6. Lorenzo Taliaferro is usually Forsett's backup, but he himself missed Week […]

Jay Cutler Should Not Be On Any Week 6 Waiver Wires

FAAB Bid: $3 - 4, 40% owned in Fleaflicker Look, he gets a bum rap, but he pulled out a victory for the Bears against the Chiefs - even though he was missing his top two wide receivers and was working with the backup center. As of Monday midday, he is the QB12 scoring-wise on Fleaflicker, meaning […]

Theo Riddick Is A Sneaky PPR Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 (PPR Leagues), 15% owned in Fleaflicker Riddick deserves a lot more love in PPR leagues, but it turns out he's not a total throwaway in standard leagues either. Ameer Abdullah fumbled the ball twice in the first half of the Lions' game against the Arizona Cardinals, and he was benched for […]

Allen Hurns Is A Priority Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 54% owned in Fleaflicker I said last week not to think of Hurns as the lead dog in Jacksonville, and Allen Robinson did come back to show that he is the number one for the Jaguars this week. That said Hurns was again great, posting another 116 yard and one touchdown […]
