Felix Hernandez Leaves Game Early With Elbow Stiffness

Felix Hernandez left Sunday’s start against the Texas Rangers early with stiffness in his right elbow.

Seattle went on to win the […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Three The second Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues.

Corey Seager (SS,LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It appears that the brother of Seattle 3B Kyle Seager may just be proving the critics right when they said he would be an instant star as soon as he made the majors.

Jared Cook (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cook is always a name that is extremely inconsistent in terms of fantasy play.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Will the new Marques Colston please stand up?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: With the Dez Bryan injury, Dallas is going to have to find new receivers to throw to. In the previous two seasons, Beasley has turned 103 total targets into 76 catches for 788 yards and six TDs. On a per target basis, that equates to […]

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: This is a truly desperate play, but with Dez Bryant out Dallas is going to have to find other ways to move the ball through the air. They did this very effectively last week, by using Dunbar as a receiver out of the backfield against the […]
