Dwayne Allen (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR / Standard Leagues Owned in 65% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: My number one tight end recommendation this week is heavily owned, but not nearly heavily enough. Dwayne Allen continues to be a red zone threat on the Indianapolis Colts. This season he has 5 TDs in 7 games which ties […]

Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues / Monitor in Standard Leagues Owned in 39% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Starting center Alex Mack broke his leg and is out for the rest of the season - just watch Cleveland’s Week 7 game film to find out what kind of an impact that had on the running game. The […]

Denard Robinson (RB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues or Deeper Owned in 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Storm Johnson failed in his opportunity to be the starter, and in Week 7 it was Denard Robinson who got the chance. As I mentioned when I wrote about him before, Robinson isn't exactly built like a lead back. He’s only 199 pounds, but […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues Owned in 37% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill has now had three straight decent games in a row for fantasy football owners. While the Jaguars are not the guaranteed points they were at the beginning of the season, I would start Tannehill in Week 8 […]

Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR / Standard Leagues Owned in 40% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Odell Beckham broke out in Week 7 with a pair of touchdowns, although it was on only four catches for 35 yards. While the yardage and reception numbers aren’t eye-popping, the fact that Eli was looking for him in the endzone is […]

With so much volatility around the NFL given the recent string of injuries, especially to running backs, there have been a lot of changes already with the backfields of many NFL teams.

2014 Fantasy Basketball Rankings: Top 50 Overall

A funny thing happened on the way to creating my top 50 overall fantasy basketball rankings... In case you have not heard, reigning MVP and consensus top pick, Kevin Durant, will miss 6-8 weeks with a fracture in his foot. Pardon my selfishness here, but this threw my rankings in disarray. I had no idea what […]

Week 7 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The Injury Carnage Returns For Week 7 If Week 7 of the 2014 NFL season does not convince you that the classic fantasy strategy of drafting two running backs with your first two picks is as over as The Sopranos (Forgetting Sarah Marshall reference, thank you) then I don’t know what will. Sure you might […]

NFL Kickers to Start in Week 8: Fantasy Football Tiers & Rankings

Yes, that’s right – kickers.

For those of you fantasy football owners out there who are streaming kickers, RotoBaller has got […]

Week 8 Tight Ends: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

What’s up RotoBallers? Welcome to my Week 8 tight ends waiver wire pickups piece. This past week I batted around .500 on picks for deeper and shallower leagues, and I've done all within my power to improve that for Week 8. Tight ends are a difficult position to get consistent results from outside the top seven, but […]

Clay Harbor (TE, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team PPR leagues or 2 TE leagues  Owned in 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  In my Week 7 TE waiver pickup and adds article, you'll see that Clay Harbor was mentioned as a nice pickup for plus matchups in Weeks 9 and 10.  Over the past four weeks, Harbor is averaging five catches […]

Branden Oliver (RB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues  Owned in 76% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:   Over the course of the season the San Diego Chargers have dealt with numerous injuries over the course of the season with their running backs: Danny Woodhead (broken fibula), Donald Brown (concussion) and Ryan Mathews (MCL sprain).  Because of necessity the next man […]

Carson Palmer (QB, ARZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues 12+ teams  Owned in 63% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into this season Carson Palmer was highlighted as a sleeper QB pick.  In week 1 Palmer showed right away that those who predicted that were correct (304 yards 2 TDs 0 Int).  Sadly Palmer missed the next 3 games due to a […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues Owned in 13# of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The fact that Adams is the third wideout on Green Bay's depth chart really doesn't affect his fantasy value all that much. Aaron Rodgers loves to spread the wealth, and has been incorporating Adams into the offense more as of late. Adams' […]

Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 78% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to believe that after bringing in Chris Johnson, a guy who has rushed for 1,000 yards or more in each of his first six seasons in the NFL, the Jets would be implementing Chris Ivory as their featured back. The […]
