MLB Hot Stove 2014: Jon Lester Chooses The Chicago Cubs

After an intensely-contested long process, it came down to two teams: his previous club whom he won two World Series Championships with, or an interestingly resurgent one that has grabbed the attention of everyone in baseball this offseason despite five consecutive fifth-place finishes in their own division. In the end, stud left-hander Jon Lester went […]

Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Pickups and Sleepers: TOI & PPTOI Trends (Week 10)

  Fantasy Hockey TOI and PPTOI Trends in Week 10 When you’re in a deep league with a full-size NHL starting lineup and seven bench positions for a 27-man roster like I am, top line and power play ice time are indispensable factors in analyzing waiver pickups. Both of these factors change over the course of the season, so here […]

Oswaldo Arcia: 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

  Oswaldo Arcia: Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper for 2015 Power is a rare commodity in fantasy baseball, such that any player with 30 home run potential becomes particularly valuable. The key is determining who these players are before a breakout actually occurs. Former top prospects that have fallen under the radar are a great place […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Sleepers: Players Who May Still Be Available

Did you lose someone to injury last week and need a fill-in for the Week 15 playoff push? Well have no fear, because we’re digging deep every week for some waiver wire adds that can help propel your team to a fantasy championship. I'm going to take a look at some players that are almost definitely available in […]

Ronnie Hillman (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: C.J. Anderson has locked down the starting job in Denver and rightly so, as he's played great over the past few weeks for both the Broncos and his fantasy football owners. That said, I'm still owning Hillman in a couple leagues just in case. Anderson has been a little hobbled, […]

Johnny Manziel (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Week 15 Streaming Option Week 15 vs Bengals, Week 16 @ Panthers ANALYSIS: Yes, Johnny Football is finally the starter right now in Cleveland, as Hoyer was looking really bad and was on a short leash. Adding Manziel would be a savvy move that offers a ton of upside at […]

Latavius Murray (RB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Have you guys noticed the pattern yet? When Latavius Murray does well, the Raiders win!  Obviously after the big game against the Chiefs in Week 12, he didn’t do much. That tends to happen when you end up with a concussion that keeps you out for a week. This past Sunday, Murray […]

Kerwynn Williams (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: No, you did not read that wrong. I am, in fact, recommending you a player that is 0% owned on Fleaflicker. I’m not sure if you heard, but Andre Ellington has officially been confirmed done for the year, and many have speculated which running back would win the job out of the […]

Charles Johnson (WR, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues/Deep Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cordarrelle who? Johnson has sneakily become the number one passing option for the Minnesota Vikings, as he has definitively earned Teddy Bridgewater’s trust. Johnson has produced a 15-283-2 line over his last four games, and has become a viable PPR option. Most importantly […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Admittedly I’m breaking my own rule of 50% or under here, but just by a little bit. I’m also going to level you with guys: I could list a bunch of fringe players for you to go chasing, but considering the time of the year, we know who is or […]

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS: Cook is the most valuable receiving weapon on the Rams.  The problem has been the lack of TDs.  Last week, Cook broke out in a big way versus Washington with four catches for 61 yards and two TDs.  This week, Cook will have another prime matchup versus an Arizona team that […]

Packers Defense (GB, DEF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues Week 15 @ Bills, Week 16 @ Bucs ANALYSIS: The Packers aren’t an elite defense but you have to acknowledge that nice fantasy playoff schedule. I have a hard time seeing either of those teams keeping up with the Packers high flying offense. When they are inevitably forced to throw down […]

Ravens Defense (BAL, DEF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues Week 15 vs Jags, Week 16 @ Texans ANALYSIS: This defense just lost Haloti Ngata and you can’t underestimate that loss on the defensive line. Thankfully they face two of the weaker offenses in the league the next two weeks and should still be a strong play. I am a […]

The following forwards, whether of the “sleeper” variety or just cashing in temporarily on an unforeseen opportunity, almost certainly deserve attention across the various formats. Position Eligibility & Ownership […]

MLB Hot Stove 2014: White Sox Land Two Key Hurlers

The Major League Baseball Winter Meetings are barely a day old, but one team has already made an enormous splash that just may have the most long-lasting impact on the upcoming 2015 season. That aforementioned club is, of course, the Chicago White Sox, who garnered not one, but two key arms that could prove to be […]

Kerwynn Williams (RB, ARZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  This weekend the Arizona Cardinals RB 'committee' showed that the lead back is Kerwynn Williams. With Andre Ellington nursing a hip pointer and potentially being placed on IR the Cardinals will be looking for Williams to help balance the Arizona offense.Be sure to check […]
