Drew Hutchison (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Hutchison has had an up-and-down year, but has really turned it on as of late with the exception of his most recent start  (@BAL, giving up 6 ER but K'ing 11). The 24-year-old lefty had tossed four straight quality starts prior to that, and has struck out […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Immediately Owned in 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week we talked about the AP situation, including his deactivation for Week 2's game and speculating on Matt Asiata as the fill-in running back for the Vikings and waiver wire pickup for your fantasy football teams. Hopefully you were able to snag him […]

Week 3 Risers & Fallers for Fantasy Football

Week 2 was initially overshadowed by a handful of off-the-field issues, primarily the Ray Rice saga and the Adrian Peterson case. But once the games got underway, the injury bug hit many high-profile fantasy studs, forcing owners to take a step back and evaluate their rosters for the upcoming weeks. Luckily, bye weeks are still a week away, […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks, Advice & Sleepers for 9/17

There is such a thing as an east coast bias.  There’s also such a thing as a Beltway Bias and that term does deserve to be capitalized.  The Orioles and the Nationals both clinched their respective divisions last night the way every organization should clinch a division.  My beltway bias oozed out of my pores […]

  Three Catchers For Deeper Leagues As we near the end of the MLB season and the fantasy baseball playoffs are upon us, here are some sleeper waiver wire catcher options that might help you in deeper leagues and two-catcher formats, if they’re still available. Hopefully your fantasy baseball teams are still in the thick of […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues or Deeper Owned in 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you read my Week 2 Risers and Fallers article last week, you knew that I was not very high on Robert Griffin III. Little did I know that he was going to dislocate his ankle, paving the way for Kirk […]

Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's clear to everyone except maybe the Colts that Ahmad Bradshaw has easily outplayed Trent Richardson, in just about any NFL game that the two of them have played together. In standard fantasy football leagues, over the first two games of the season, Bradshaw […]

Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mark Ingram was due for a breakout year this year. He was finally having it, and then he went and broke his hand on Sunday. Enter Khiry Robinson, who if you ask me, is Mark Ingram's more talented compliment. Khiry Robinson grades out as a more […]

Delanie Walker (TE, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off of his best season as a pro in 2013, the former 49ers great Delanie Walker has been begging for more targets - and he's been receiving them in the Titans current offensive system with Jake Locker healthy. He's already started the first two games of the […]

Going forward I will also include a recap of the previous week's recommended tight ends, so that you can see […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 10+ Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Hill is currently owned in just 52% of Fleaflicker leagues, which I find pretty tough to believe. The rookie Bengals' running back is showing more efficiency than Gio Bernard, with a very solid 4.9 YPC, and is also seeing his carries rise, with 15 rushing attempts in […]

Bobby Rainey (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (especially if you are a Doug Martin owner) ANALYSIS: If you drafted Doug Martin this season and are a knowledgeable fantasy sports player you might already own Bobby Rainey. With Martin being scratched just before game time in week two, Rainey stepped in and ran like a bat out […]

Justin Forsett (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: “Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is gone; But there's half-a-hundred ripples.” The recent Ray Rice situation was quite the pebble. However, Rice is gone and what we have now is the ripples left, one of them being Justin Forsett. Now that Bernard Pierce’s […]

Week 2 NFL Recap & Week 3 Fantasy Football Prep

Allow me to sum up all of Week Two in one word: Ouch. Injuries ran rampant all throughout the league this week with some being more serious than others.

Donald Brown (RB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, another week of NFL action, and another week of injuries. It's the name of the game that we play as fantasy football owners. For those of you (us) that are the unfortunate owners of Ryan Mathews, it was not very enjoyable to see him leave […]

Knile Davis (RB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Given the injury to Jamaal Charles on Sunday, and the news earlier today that it's a dreaded high-ankle sprain, Knile Davis immediately emerges into some serious fantasy football relevance with the opportunity to become a fantasy star over the next few weeks. If it was […]

Week 3 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Last week in this running backs waiver wire column I recommended some players to consider adding to your teams, and here's how they performed in Week 2: Justin Forsett (11.2 PPR points), Chris Ivory (11.6 PPR points), James Starks (0.00 points), and Mark Ingram (19.4 PPR points). I don't foresee Forsett being that great in anything but […]

Rusney Castillo (OF, BOS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Keeper & Dynasty Leagues / Continue Scouting in Standard Leagues ANALYSIS: With the recent news that the Red Sox are expected to call up international super-prospect Rusney Castillo for Tuesday's game, he becomes the most recent addition to our waiver wire sleepers list. It's still not really known how much […]

Carl Crawford (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Carl Crawford is not the player he once was in Tampa. While he hasn't completely lost his abilities to hit and run, he doesn't have quite enough left to earn everyday at-bats in a crowded, talented Los Angeles outfield. He's managed just a .289/.326/.410 triple slash line, and […]

Wei-Yin Chen (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: If you've owned Wei-Yin Chen most of the year (and he's certainly been consistent enough to justify that in deep leagues), then you already know how solid he's been.  For those of you not acquainted with Mr. Chen, allow me to introduce you to his stat line: 15-4 record, with […]

Week 3 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Two weeks down, and a handful of wide receivers went down with it! If you were an unfortunate owner of A.J. Green or Desean Jackson, you might need a replacement in the near future.

Getting A Grip: Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Holds

Clayton Kershaw.  It’s pretty clear he will win the NL Cy Young award and he may even take home MVP hardware as well.  The dude has fun with Jimmy Kimmel on late night and he’s an undeniable giver to charity.  He can now cap on an improbable, up and down fantasy playoff win to his […]
