Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 21 (Part 1)

This season could present one of the best finishes in recent memory.  As far as division winners, it’s becoming clear that Washington and Baltimore will more than likely take theirs, but every other division race could come down to the final days. As for the wild card chases, it appears the frontrunners are set for […]

Four Wide Receivers Primed For An Increase In Touchdowns

An important aspect of having a successful fantasy season is being able to project which players are likely to improve their numbers from the previous season. In other words, finding sleepers based on current ADPs is key to any sound fantasy strategy, for PPR or non-PPR leagues.  It sounds obvious because it is and yet […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks, Advice & Sleepers for 8/18

Below are my picks for Monday 8/18's Fanduel contests. The afternoon game between the Mets and Cubs is not included in this analysis since it won’t factor into most of tonight’s entries. Keep in mind that these picks are based upon Fanduel’s dollar values and won’t necessarily be the best plays in other formats. For those who […]

Getting A Grip On Holds: Relief Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups

While the holds statistic is even harder to predict than saves for closers, the relief pitcher sleepers we highlight today feature some solid setup men and some looking to reclaim glory they once had. The more likely their team is to win, the more likely these following relief pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that could be […]

Levine Toilolo (TE, ATL) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE:  Target in Final Draft Rounds of Very Deep leagues or off Waiver Wire (Current ADP: Undrafted) ANALYSIS: With the retiring of one of the greatest tight ends to ever play the game in Tony Gonzales, many assume that the 100+ targets tossed his way by Matt Ryan will be soaked up by a healthy group of […]

Top 5 Hitter Streamers For Week 21: Waiver Wire Targets

It's hard to believe the fantasy season is already winding to a close, but if you play in standard leagues (and even most custom leagues), you're on the home stretch by now. I'll keep this introduction short and sweet then. You all know the drill: below are five hitters owned in fewer than 50% of leagues who […]

Julian Edelman (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 55 (Current ADP: 67, WR: 25) ANALYSIS: If you were to ask any average fantasy owner to name you three offensive players on the  New England Patriots it's conceivable Julian Edelman wouldn't even make that list. Chances are they would name Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and one of the random running backs […]

Four Deep Sleepers to Target in Fantasy Football Leagues

Let’s take a look at the some 2014 fantasy football deep sleepers that have the potential to return nice fantasy value this season. When planning your draft strategy, you should always consider sleepers and even the deep sleepers who will be available extremely late in drafts. These players (and one defense) can all be drafted in the last round […]

Hector Rondon (RP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: With 16 saves in 20 opportunities, Hector Rondon has emerged as a legitimate major league closer. The 26-year-old righty has  a 3.30 ERA over 46.1 innings pitched, striking out 49 in the process. He draws a remarkable 49.6% ground ball percentage and as a result, has only given […]

Dustin Ackley (2B / OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In Very Deep Mixed and AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Since his rookie season in 2011, Dustin Ackley has done nothing but disappoint Mariners fans and fantasy owners. In 2012, he had still-standing career-highs in home runs, stolen bases and runs, but only managed a .294 OBP. For a guy with a .397 OBP […]

Greg Olsen (TE, CAR) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 65 (Current ADP: 75, TE: 7) ANALYSIS: It's no secret that Cam Newton's weapons have gone through a complete overhaul this offseason yet the one mainstay is tight end Greg Olsen. Looking at last year's numbers, Olsen was actually tied with Steve Smith for most targets on the Panthers with 109. With […]

Five Outfielder Fantasy Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 21

As the summer rolls on, fantasy owners are gearing up for the home stretch. Here are five outfielders that could help propel their teams toward the finish line. I believe these players are currently undervalued and are worth considering as waiver wire additions.   Michael Cuddyer - (OF, COL) - 40% Owned BALLER MOVE: Add […]

Antonio Brown is Being Overvalued Based on a Historic Season

This post was originally featured on Rotoback   Antonio Brown's ADP Makes Him Overvalued in 2014 Just like my article on Alshon Jeffery being slightly undervalued, this is another Rotoballer debate turned article. The conversation about Antonio Brown was a real back and forth with a RotoBaller writer adamant that Brown was worth a top pick […]

Francisco Liriano (SP, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Since returning from injury on July 13th, Francisco Liriano has been very steady, and worthy of owning in all leagues.  He hasn't allowed more than 2 ER in the 6 starts after his July 13th return (in which he allowed a whopping 3), and after a 6 BB hiccup in […]

New Orleans Saints: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook

The Saints high-powered offense has led them to multiple playoff appearances and has helped them be an annual NFC title contender. Drew Brees has been the cool-headed triggerman carving up opponents with a deep receiving core. It is a safe bet that the Saints will again light up the scoreboard in 2014 making their fans […]

Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups: Hitters & Pitchers For Week 20

I am excited about this week's deep league waiver wire sleeper pickups article. There is real value in this group of players. While I am very high on David Peralta and Mike Zunino, don’t sleep on the savvy veterans either. Let's get to it!   J.P. Arencibia - C, Texas Rangers Owned in 21% of […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 30 (Current ADP: 49, RB: 20) ANALYSIS: Although not a sleeper in the traditional sense, Andre Ellington continues to be extremely undervalued in ESPN leagues where his ADP is 49. In Yahoo, CBS and FFC his ADP is closer to 30 which is about where it should be, but if you play in […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~90 (Current ADP: 103, QB14) ANALYSIS: Da Bears franchise Quaterback has the capability of being a top 10 QB this year, and he isn't being drafted like one. I love Jay Cutler and not just because he made some really funny guest appearances in the league. No, I love Jay Cutler because he […]

5 Overvalued Wide Receivers You Should Avoid At Their Current ADPs

  Overvalued NFL Wide Receivers & ADPs  Overall, the ADP for many receivers this year seems relatively fair.  But when formulating your draft strategy, you always have to look out for players who are undervalued (sleepers) or overvalued (potential busts) at their current ADP.  There are some player’s I’d certainly shuffle around, but inside the top […]

I previously looked at the top 15 quarterback rankings and top 30 running back rankings for dynasty and keeper leagues. Today I'll take a closer look at tight end rankings for 2014 fantasy football dynasty leagues, assuming both PPR and non-PPR formats. If you have a fresh dynasty league draft, these rankings are a good guideline for you to follow […]

Mike Fiers (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues  ANALYSIS: You can probably watch Mike Fiers ownership percentage increase in real time after his otherworldly start Thursday afternoon. Fiers punched out 14 Cubs before getting yanked after 6 IP and 106 pitches.  Now frankly speaking, I think it's absolutely absurd that Ron Roenicke couldn't leave him in for at least […]
