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 […]

This column is your go-to source for dynasty leagues, waiver wire analysis and trade targets for these types of longer-term fantasy football dynasty formats. While some of these players may contribute to your dynasty teams rather quickly, we will also be listing some players that are longer term plays as well. Also, I will not be […]

What's up RotoBallers?  Welcome to my Week 3 tight end waiver wire pickup recommendations piece. In this article you may find a few repeat recommendations from last week (since you missed my last article?), plus a few new additions. 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. The good news is that none are to believed season ending despite several players expected to miss some time. Hopefully you managed to benefit from some […]

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 […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 25 (Part 1)

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 […]

Markus Wheaton (WR, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Immediately Owned in 64% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Markus Wheaton was an afterthought in most 2014 fantasy football drafts, going outside of the top 40 at the position, and in some cases not getting drafted at all. He did almost nothing in his rookie season but caught the attention of many following […]

Jake Locker (QB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All 2QB Leagues Owned in 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Locker is a guy I have liked since he came out of college as the Titans 1st round pick in 2011. His first couple of years he didn't really do anything. He was the only one of the four first round […]
