Nova Removed From Rotation: Moved To Bullpen

The New York Yankees have removed Ivan Nova from the starting rotation and will use him in the bullpen instead. Nova, 28, was lit up for six runs without getting out of the second inning during his start on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-hander’s ERA has jumped to 5.11 with a 6-8 […]

Encarnacion Returns, Reaches Base 5 Times

Edwin Encarnacion returned to the Toronto Blue Jays starting lineup Wednesday as the AL East leaders won 9-1 over the Atlanta Braves with a great performance. The former All-Star batted cleanup while starting at first base rather than his usual DH spot because the Jays were in a National League park. Encarnacion went 3-for-3 with two […]

Panik (Back) Placed On 60-Day DL

The San Francisco Giants placed Joe Panik on the 60-day DL, thus ending the second baseman’s season. In his first full MLB season, Panik was adjusting quite well. He had a .312 BA with 8 HR and 37 RBI while making his first All-Star team. He was always near the top of the NL leaders […]

Anyways, it looks like we’re going to be paying up for pitching tonight. Some studs have good matchups, and there are four pitchers priced at […]

Wide Receiver Rankings: Top Ten for Week 2

Last week was a bit of a rough week for the elite tier of wide receivers.  Calvin Johnson, A.J. Green, Odell Beckham, and Dez Bryant were all borderline first-round picks who posted up dud weeks. Although, in Bryant's defense, he did injure himself [although in the opposite of Bryant's defense he's out for six weeks at […]

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 25

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week 25 of the fantasy baseball season. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that […]

Stanton (Hand) Return Delayed Again

The possible return of Giancarlo Stanton has been put on hold again because of an abnormal amount of scar tissue in his hand. The Miami Marlins slugger has been trying to get back on the field before the 2015 season ends but injuries continue to pile up and delay his return. Stanton has been out […]

Five Players Sending Out Warning Signals After Week One

We’re only heading into Week 2 of the NFL season, but that doesn’t mean fantasy owners aren’t already panicking about players who underperformed in their opening contest.

It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices so […]

Percy Harvin (WR, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Percy Harvin impressed in his Week 1 performance against the Indianapolis Colts, hauling in 5-of-5 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown. In fact, Harvin was the only impressive receiver for the Bills, as the team's top wideout, Sammy Watkins, was left catchless on […]

DeAngelo Williams (RB, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All League Formats OWNED IN: 55% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 2 will almost certainly be the last time DeAngelo Williams holds any value once the incumbent starter Le'Veon Bell returns from his two-game suspension. With that being said, Williams was a monster Week 1 against the New England Patriots, rushing for 127 yards […]

Danny Amendola (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Ownership: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Once a PPR phenom, Danny Amendola caught just 27 passes in 2014. Still, despite receiving at least one target in 15 different games, 12 of his receptions came in Weeks 16 and 17. With eight receptions for 63 yards in Week 16, Amendola […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- or 16-Team Leagues Ownership: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Javorius Allen, also known as "Buck," solidified himself as Justin Forsett's backup in Week 1. Allen was given nine carries, which he turned into 30 yards against the Broncos' tough run defense. Lorenzo Taliaferro has yet to return from injury, so at least […]

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week 25

It is officially playoff season in fantasy baseball across all leagues and finding stop gaps in every position can be the key to advancing deep into the playoffs towards a championship. The Catcher position is often hard to fill or appropriately analyze due to the low number of players that are rostered across your league. […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton is usually a polarizing fantasy option. He often gets buoyed by his big games, but can put up some big time stinkers. It's a new season though, and his Week 1 performance was very strong against the Raiders. Dalton […]

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as Backup TE in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jared Cook is a physical freak. At 6'5" and 254 lbs with some speed, he can be a true matchup nightmare. Unfortunately, he hasn't quite realized this potential so far in his NFL career. He tends to […]

Phillip Dorsett (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Last week the Indianapolis Colts' star receiver T.Y.

Unfortunately, I am going to skip those games and head straight into the later games. I will say that both Kyle Hendricks […]

Eric Ebron (TE, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues or Deeper OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eric Ebron was the tenth overall pick a year ago, so clearly he was a highly regarded talent out of college. He's a big target at 6'4" and 265 lbs and should be one of Matthew Stafford's main redzone/endzone […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues Ownership: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most people view Dion Lewis as a one-week fill in for LeGarrette Blount, but there could be more potential there. Lewis looks to be the clear choice to take over the Patriots' pass-catching-back role, which has the potential to be very productive. Lewis racked […]
