BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 28% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Don't be sleeping on the slight edge that a high-end kicker can give you week to week, because sometimes it's a matter of a few points that separate you from a win.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 team leagues or deeper Owned in 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green is a promising young tight end for the Chargers.
