Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 24: Playoff Time

Welcome to the playoffs. It's a nerve-racking time when one disastrous pitching outing can be fatal. This week (and hence forth) I'm going to mix it up with my waiver wire material and focus on not only good pitching options, but also good pitching matchups for that particular week. All that matters at this point is getting […]

Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Pitching Prospects from Week 23

Did you see that comeback by Houston on Sunday? How incredible was that?! Down to their last out and they found a way to bounce back and score five runs to win the game. They may not have the best rotation of all the teams that are likely postseason bound, but I feel like they […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Sleepers & Overview for Fantasy Football

Week 2 Waiver Wire for Fantasy Football Well that was an exciting first Sunday of NFL action. And the best part of it... we aren't done yet, with two more games on tonight's Monday Night Slate. Week 1 was filled with some star-studded fantasy performances, some disappointing performances from other elite players, some unfortunate injuries […]

But in efforts of bringing you timely information, as fast as possible, consider this the Week 2 waiver wire lightning round.

Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues (Matchup Streamer) OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Everybody knows that Greg Roman loves his tight ends. What many don’t know is just how good Charles Clay has been. Pro Football Focus rated him as the 9th best pass catching tight end in the league, ahead of players like Jimmy Graham […]

Kenny Stills (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jarvis Landry has been getting a lot of (justifiable) love for his rookie year, but Kenny Stills may be the Dolphins wide receiver should be talking about. Or maybe he's just not being talked about enough. Stills finished ahead of Landry in PFF’s end […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 9/13/15

Below are my FanDuel lineup picks for Saturday, September 13th. My goal with these DFS picks, as always, is to try to choose players who will outperform their expectations. These players can be high-cost players, or they can be sleepers, but we are always looking for players that have a chance to return the greatest value […]

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Although there were some questions about the health of talented rookie running back Duke Johnson, it looks like he will be good to go for Week 1. Currently Johnson and Isaiah Crowell are the only healthy running backs for the Browns, but it's not […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks and Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 9/13/15

What's up RotoBallers. Welcome to another edition of my DraftKings DFS lineup picks and analysis. As always, my goal with this article is to help you identify viable options to insert into your DraftKings lineups, based on DFS pricing and matchups data. Here's a compilation of players I like when choosing a lineup for Friday, […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Two-QB Leagues / Backup QB in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor is a bit of a wildcard, having never started a game in his career. He has played extensively just once, but he did flash fantasy potential in that one game. He played the majority of Baltimore’s 2012 […]

Fierce 40: College Football 2015 Rankings – Auburn Tigers (#8)

Welcome to the Fierce 40 series of my 2015 College Football Rankings, where I will be counting down the top 40 ranked teams in the NCAA. Today I will be analyzing the Auburn Tigers, 8 overall for the 2015 college football season. I will be releasing one NCAA team preview per day, providing my analysis on each team in the top […]

Richard Rodgers (TE, GB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jordy Nelson out for the season there are a lot of targets to go around in Green Bay. Sure, Davante Adamswill eat up most of them, but I have a feeling that in the red zone, Rodgers may become a favorite of […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash as Backup QB in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In week 1 you probably don't need a QB fill-in. Nobody has had a surprise injury pop up, and nothing has changed enough since the draft that you will need to start Derek Carr this week. So this is more about deeper leagues, […]

Chris Polk (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp. If you've had the pleasure of watching Hard Knocks this season, you know this is Chris Polk's saying. You also know that he's a real character and fun to pull for. As of right now, the situation in Houston is […]

Now is the time to find those value players for your Week 1 lineups, playing in great matchups, as you try to surprise your opponents who are still blindly starting their highest drafted players. Here’s a look at five under […]

Recent Prospect Call-Ups and Their Fantasy Values (Edwards, O'Brien)

It was a slow week for prospect call-ups, but two potential difference makers were called up to their major league squads. Both are widely available. Like 99% available. If you are in a very deep format or a dynasty league and are looking to add high-ceiling depth to your roster, keep these two players in mind. Editor’s […]

NFL Week 1 Kickoff is here folks! RotoBaller's Week 1 roundup is THE essential guide to prepping your Week 1 lineup. Take a head first dive into all of this past week's fantasy football and NFL analysis, including matchup previews, start/sit analysis, sleepers, weekly rankings, and waiver wire pickups. Editor's Note: Our friends at FantasyFeud are […]

Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Without Kevin White this week, Eddie Royal becomes the clear #3 option in the Bears passing attack (he may already have been) behind Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett. In a game where points are likely to be plenty, I’m willing to bet on Royal […]

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m more-so buying Coleman for his situation rather than his hype as a player. Coleman went undrafted this past year, but was scooped up by one of the most intriguing passing offenses in the NFL, the Saints. They then shippedJimmy Graham and Kenny Stills out of […]

Knile Davis (RB, KC) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in All Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Only Ryan Mathews rivals Davis as a handcuff for the upcoming season, and that has more to do with Chip Kelly's system than Mathews' talent. In the two games that Jamaal Charles missed (or missed significant time) last season, Davis average 119 total yards […]

Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR and Standard) OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In case you've been living under a rock, here at RotoBaller we are very high on Matt Jones and have been writing about him ad nauseam for months. Some people may look at this situation and say - he's just a backup or handcuff, and we've […]

Benny Cunningham (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Matchup Stream in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: To start the season, the St. Louis Rams are home against the punishing defense of the Seattle Seahawks. At first glance, this may not seem like a good matchup for Cunningham, going against one of the top defenses in the league. However, Cunningham […]

Allen Hurns (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Does anyone else remember how last season started for the Jacksonville Jaguars? They pushed the Philadelphia Eagles to the limit in the opener behind the play of Hurns. In his first career game, the former Miami Hurricane blew up for  110 yards and two TDs […]

Benjamin Watson (TE, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Again, some people will call this move questionable, but I'll remind you this is only if your team is desperately in need of a spot start. Watson was once relevant in the passing game a long time ago, and had a somewhat valuable fantasy season in […]

Brian Quick (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Quick has an awful matchup this week against Richard Sherman, so he’ definitely not someone you want in your starting lineup for Week 1. However, there’s not many more receivers with his type of upside laying on the waiver wire. While his schedule is tough […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marvin Jones missed all of last year with injuries, but offseason reports have been promising, and he was able to expectedly beat out Mohamed Sanu this preseason for the #2 role on the outside. Jones absolutely flourished with the Bengals in his sophomore season, scoring […]

Stevie Johnson (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green may miss this week with a concussion. That leaves Malcom Floyd, Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson as the only legitimate weapons for Rivers on the outside. While they don’t have an ideal matchup against the Lions very underrated secondary, I’m willing to […]

Terrance West (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: West isn't an especially talented running back, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry behind a very good run blocking Cleveland Browns offensive line. Once again though, this is about opportunity. Titans starting running back, sophomore Bishop Sankey, was equally as mediocre last season with a […]
