BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as Bye or Injury Replacement IF Active Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Stewart didn't practice Wednesday, but he has not yet been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Bengals. Despite having a quarterback who likes to run the ball, the quarterback actually hasn't been […]

Dwayne Allen (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues Owned in 62% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Dwayne Allen is the better Tight End in Indianapolis. Through 5 weeks, he has a TD in 4 games, and the one week he didn’t score, he didn’t play. He is averaging 11.1 points per game in standard leagues if you don’t count […]

After missing three weeks, including the benefit of an early bye, he came back for 123 yards on 22 carries for 12.3 standard points. He dominated Tennessee’s defense and looked healthy doing so. […]

Brian Quick (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Quarterback Austin Davis has made it clear that Quick is his number one target among wide receivers, targeting him 14 more times than any other wideout on the team through the first four games. The third-year veteran out of Appalachian State has 21 […]

Austin Davis (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Pick up in 2-QB leagues, 12 team dynasty leagues and consider as a QB streamer Owned in 21% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: 2014 has seen the Rams go through Sam Bradford, Shaun Hill, and now finally Austin Davis. I believe that that the Rams have found their guy in Davis, and a few […]

Not to fear, I'm here with some deep sleeper waiver wire pickups for you.  Let’s look at some of the guys that may be still sitting on the wire as we get closer to Sunday.   Digging Deeper - Potential Week 6 Waiver Wire Sleepers […]

Week 6 Running Back Depth Charts: Updates, Injuries & Stashes

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. Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams, so it's important to stay on top of the running back […]

Week 6 Risers & Fallers Analysis for Fantasy Football

This weekly column examines ten fantasy football players – five guys that are on the up-and-up, or “risers,” and five guys that are struggling, or “fallers.” You shouldn’t necessarily take these ten players as start/sit sleepers or waiver wire add/drop recommendations, as the analysis here is meant to be more of a gauge for how a fantasy […]

Potential Busts for Week 6: Ranking the Top 10 for Fantasy Football

So sometimes you call someone out as a bust and he actually turns out to be a bust (see: Davis, Knile and/or Morris, Alfred). And sometimes you predict someone to be a bust and he ends up breaking his team’s single-game receiving record and scoring over 40 fantasy points (thanks, Demaryius, for making me question […]

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals in Week 5

Players That Are Making Me Nervous For Week 6 Of course because I finally showed concern about him last week Cam Newton finally had a decent game. However both Cordarrelle Patterson and Pierre Garcon did not have good games as I expected. I'd still be trying to sell on Garcon's name value as fast as possible and […]

Benny Cunningham (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: After much speculation that Benny Cunningham’s role in the Rams’ offense would increase he finally got his opportunity to show what he could do in week five when Zac Stacy went down with a calf injury. The former undrafted free agent who led the NFL with 5.6 yards […]

James Jones (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep, Three Wide Receiver Leagues Owned in 57% of Fleaflicker leages ANALYSIS: James Jones lost a ton of fantasy appeal when he made the transition from Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football to Derek Carr. There is almost no chance of Jones scoring 14 touchdowns, as he did in 2012 with the […]

Baltimore Ravens (DEF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There isn't a much better steaming defense to be bullish on heading into Week 6 of fantasy football action. Ranked as the 8th overall scoring defense (in standard Yahoo formats), this undervalued unit is quietly drawing one of the best matchups as they travel to […]

Indianapolis Colts (DEF, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Not traditionally known for their stout defense, the playoff bound Colts are flying under the fantasy football radar for their defense's usefulness. Owned in way too few leagues as evidenced above, they are the featured Thursday night game this week on the road […]

Tim Wright (TE, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues / Continue Monitoring in All Leagues Owned in 10% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: My last recommendation is for managers in deeper leagues who are looking for a tight end option off the Week 6 waiver wire. This past week we saw Tim Wright post a fantastic game of […]

Louis Murphy (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I told you about Louis Murphy last week on my list of wide receiver sleepers, and I’m going to do it again. With Mike Evans still injured, Murphy is a legitimate plug-and-play wide receiver in deeper leagues, as he […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jones was a legitimate red zone threat for the Bengals in 2013, finding pay dirt 10 times. Although to be fair, four of those TDs came in one game. I still expect Jones to slide into that same type of offensive role when he […]

Owen Daniels (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (Standard and PPR) Owned in 44% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Owen Daniels is coming off a productive game in Week 5 vs. the Colts with 5 catches (7 targets) and 70 yards. With Dennis Pitta out for the season, Daniels is clearly the TE1 on the Ravens and can be considered […]

Brain Quick (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the last time I’m going to say this. ADD. BRIAN. QUICK. Austin Davis has proven himself to be a legitimate QB2, and Brian Quick is the main beneficiary. He has been amazingly consistent thus far, especially in PPR leagues, registering either seven receptions or […]

Brian Hoyer (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: After a dramatic comeback win at Tennessee that saw three touchdowns and 292 yards from the hands of Hoyer, the Browns host a middle-of-the-road Pittsburgh defense that gives up 229 yards per game on average. Three touchdowns […]

Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues (Standard and PPR) Owned in 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: My top tight end recommendation this week is Jordan Reed who’s seen just a handful of snaps since Week 1 this year. However, when he does come back (I have my fingers crossed for Week 6) he will become the TE1 […]

Austin Davis (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues 11% owned in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Austin Davis has been a very solid fantasy QB for the last couple of weeks (Weeks Three and Five), posting three touchdowns and three-hundred plus yards in each start while only throwing two picks over those games. Though he has […]
