Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues/deep standard leagues OWNED IN: 44% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS:  Yes, I’m aware Josh Gordon will be back next week. But here’s the thing—he can’t catch ALL the passes from Brian Hoyer…probably. Defenses will be well aware of Gordon's return, and I promise you that they will be accounting for him. Whether or not […]

Chris Hogan (WR, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep PPR leagues/monitor in standard leagues OWNED IN: 1% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sigh. I am a die-hard Bills fan (and boy howdy, do we die hard); this will be the first time I've ever recommended a Buffalo Bill in an article, but here we go. Hogan has become Kyle Orton’s second option in the […]

Jarvis Landry (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR and Deep Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 14% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I advised adding Jarvis Landry, a possession receiver, last week, and I’ll do it again for Week 12. Over the last three weeks, Landry has 17 catches for 145 yards and two scores, and he's established himself as the number two […]

C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leauges OWNED IN: 47% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: C.J. Anderson was one of the few Broncos to have a nice game this past Sunday. He rushed 9 times for 29 yards, but more importantly he had 8 receptions for 86 yards. That's a nice running back to own in all formats, but especially nice […]

Tre Mason (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leauges OWNED IN: 48% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tre Mason rushed 29 times on Sunday for 113 yards. While the 3.9 yards per carry isn't overly impressive, the volume of touches and yardage total is.  What chumps allowed Tre Cool to run all over them? Oh you know, just the Broncos. Otherwise known […]

Jonas Gray (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leauges OWNED IN: 14% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Has there ever been a bigger "duh" as far as fantasy football waiver wire pickups go?  I'm pretty sure Jonas Gray will be the #1 waiver wire add across the entire fantasy football nation after posting up an otherworldly 199 yards and 4 TDs […]

Jacob Tamme (TE, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Week 12 Streamer if Julius Thomas is Out ANALYSIS: Last week Julius Thomas left the game due to injury and did not return.  With Thomas injured Jacob Tamme received a lot of targets (10) but disappointed (4 catches, 31 yards).  Thomas has been classified as having an ankle injury and was in […]

Niles Paul (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues ANALYSIS: Guess what? Jordan Reed is injured. Is anyone surprised?! I am guessing not, as earlier this season Reed was dealing with a left hamstring; now his right hamstring is tweaked. While Reed was out Niles Paul filled in nicely. So far Paul has had a career best […]

Josh Gordon (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Immediately OWNED IN: 73% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Gordon led all wide receivers in fantasy points in 2013, just his second year in the league. As he prepares to make his 2014 debut after a 10-game suspension, Gordon should pick up right where he left off. With Brian […]

Josh McCown (QB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Week 12 Streamer ANALYSIS: At the beginning of the year, I had high expectations for the former backup to Jay Cutler. He had all the weapons, the starting contract, and the offensive prowess. It was as though the stars had aligned for McCown, and I had him very high on my […]

Kyle Orton (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Week 12 Streamer ANALYSIS: There are a number of reasons to give Orton a start this week outside of the fact that he has a great matchup facing the Jets. For example, Orton has only thrown three picks since he became the starter. His passer rating has only […]

Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Last week the Indianapolis Colts were hit with the injury bug by losing Dwayne Allen & Ahmad Bradshaw.  With the injury to Allen, Coby Fleener became the 1 man TE show and he exploded.  Fleener was efficient (7 targets, 7 catches) and productive 144 yards (21 yards/catch). […]
