Davante Adams (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues Owned in 15% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The Green Bay Packers this season have been looking for a WR3 and looks to have find their solution in Davante Adams.  Starting the season everyone thought that Jarrett Boykin was the runaway favorite, but drops and a lack of chemistry […]

Jonas Gray (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 5% Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s impossible to judge Patriots running backs. Vereen had a monster game in Week 7, so it’s only fair that Bill Belichick rewards Jonas Gray with more touches than Vereen in Week 8, right?  The master of game planning, it’s impossible to predict how […]

Brian Hoyer (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start him in 2-QB leagues, but set him aside in 1-QB leagues this week. Owned in 23% of leagues on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer is a a guy I can’t seem to emphasize enough, as he is ridiculously consistent. He will put up a respectable point total again this week in a matchup with a miserable […]

Jonathan Stewart (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 56% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, this a nice resurgence.  Had it not been for Jonathan Stewart's strong play in Week 8, the Panthers may have had the opportunity to fail miserably in the red-zone against the Seahawks.  He rushed for 79 yards on 16 carries and […]

Ronnie Hillman (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add and Start in All Leagues Owned in 74% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Okay I know it's a little bit of a stretch to call him a waiver wire pickup at this point, but how is Ronnie Hillman still only owned in 74% of leagues? That's just crazy. So out of principle I'm going […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So the Bucs are pretty much in rebuild mode, as they’re shopping V-Jax and Doug Martin daily. I stand firmly in the camp of those who think Mike Evans is the only reason anyone even considers Johnny Manziel an NFL talent, and […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start in all 2-QB leagues, as well as deep 1-QB leagues Owned in 23% of leagues on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I know. You might all be saying, “But Nathan, Fitzy hasn’t thrown for over 300 yards once this year! And he has seven interceptions on the year! How can I trust him?” Simply put, […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues Owned in 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Reggie who? Theo Riddick has made a name for himself in two of the past three weeks as a dangerous pass catching weapon out of the backfield. Against the Falcons swiss-cheese defense, he hauled in 8 catches for 74 yards […]

Clay Harbor (TE, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE:  Streamer for Week 9 in 12+ team leagues (PPR) 11% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Clay Harbor is my streamer and deep-league choice of the week.  Harbor will be facing a Cincinnati Bengals defense which has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, and which generally struggles against the pass (ranked 23rd).  Harbor has shown […]

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I advised adding Allen Robinson last week, and those who listened to me were handsomely rewarded. Robinson once again led the Jaguars in targets with 10, and cashed five of those in for 82 yards and a long […]

Tim Wright (TE, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues, continue monitoring in shallower formats 17% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Wright is someone I'd reserve for deeper leagues.  Last week, he showed what he is capable of (seven catches for 61 yards and a TD), but the problem is that he hasn't got a lot of opportunity.  Over the season, he's received […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues Owned in 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I was extremely excited to see what Moncrief would do in Reggie Wayne‘s absence, and he delivered. This guy is exceptionally talented, and his performance in Week 8 backed that up. I’m not sure what Wayne’s status for the coming week is, but I […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Owned in 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This week, my number one tight end recommendation off the waiver wire is Larry Donnell.  He's coming off a bye week and should be refreshed.  With that extra rest, Donnell will be playing a Colts defense that allowed 112 yards and a TD to Heath Miller last week.  Donnell […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Patriots haven’t had a legitimate sideline threat since Randy Moss, and while I’m not saying LaFell is even in the same ballpark as “The Freak”, he has been incredibly valuable in Tom Brady’s rejuvenated aerial attack. LaFell pulled in all 11 of his […]

Lorenzo Taliaferro (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues Owned in 13% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It’s clear that the Ravens won’t be using Justin Forsett in goal line opportunities this year, as Bernard Pierce stole touchdowns in week’s 6 and 7, while Taliaferro stole two this week.  With Pierce being hugely ineffective, Lorenzo Taliaferro got his shot and delivered big time in week […]
