Robert Griffin (QB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Startable in all 2-QB leagues this week and deep 1-QB leagues as well OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Griffin has never been a guy I’ve trusted in fantasy. He’s too injury prone, but coming off of a bye in week 10, I think he has some dependability this week. Even with an extremely minimal […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Charles Sims is one of my top recommended running back pickups this week. The 6'0" 214 pound rookie has drawn comparisons to Matt Forte and DeMarco Murray, and for good reason.  He ranks in the 77th percentile for his 40 yard dash time, and ranks in […]

Jarvis Landry (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues/monitor in standard leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Wallace is still the top threat in the Miami passing game, both talent-wise and contract-wise, but Landry has cemented himself as the number two in what is a markedly improved offense. He had another seven catches (albeit for only 53 yards) in […]

Kyle Rudolph / Chase Ford (TE, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 48% / 1% Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Kyle Rudolph hopes to return this week against the Bears. Whether he does or does not, I want to stream the Vikings starting TE this week against the Bears. For whatever reason Chicago has been obliterated by opposing tight ends lately, […]

Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Hawkins was inactive last week as a game-time decision and should be good to go against the Texans in Week 11. The Texans are #2 in most fantasy points allowed to WRs for the season, and for one more week Hawkins is the […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Have you noticed a theme yet this week? So far it seems to be all underutilized backs who are all backups to players who recently got injured. Granted, you may wonder why Riddick is on this list at all since he […]

Carlos Hyde (RB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This past Sunday seemed to be one of the rare days where the 49ers remembered they had two very talented running backs to use. Both Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde got the opportunity to run today, and both scored touchdowns. Maybe this will make […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Stream for Week 11 OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: My commentary on how bad the Bears defense has been will start and end here: on average, the Chicago Bears give up 277 passing yards per game (ranked 23rd), just over two touchdowns per game (ranked […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Jordan Matthews is the supremely talented rookie wide receiver who has risen to the number two option in the dynamic Philadelphia passing game. Matthews has shown flashes of brilliance all season, but hasn't ever strung two great games together. With Mark Sanchez now […]

Mark Sanchez (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (Bye Week Fill-In) OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This recommendation may not sit well with some of you, as Mark Sanchez does not bring great memories for fantasy owners. However I want you to hear me out: (1) There are 6 teams on bye week and finding available QBs is difficult; (2) The […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues (Bye Week Fill-In) OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off of his worst performance on the season, Davis is definitely a guy most are ignoring this week.
