BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues, Start in Leagues with Three WR Slots Owned in 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanu is not the Bengals' top wideout, nor is he worthy of being the team's #1 WR even if AJ Green were not there.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 26 (Part 1)

Pittsburgh GM Neal Huntington either really knows what he’s doing, or else maybe he's feeding newly acquired Pirates’ pitchers a sweet nectar oozing out of the Allegheny River.  For the second straight season, Huntington has struck gold by signing a seemingly over-the-hill veteran starting pitcher to a relatively cheap contract with amazing results.  Last season it was […]
