Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 30% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: There was no official statement to the public before Sunday's game (not appreciated, Vikings), but it appears that Jerick McKinnon is now the lead running back in Minnesota. He didn't have a particularly big day against the Lions, but they are a fantastic defense. […]

Josh Hill (TE, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who are in deeper leagues and are desperate for a tight end, I’m going to recommend an injury fill-in option for you. In Week 5, Jimmy Graham sprained his shoulder and it’s been reported that he will miss 2-3 weeks. […]

Isaiah Crowell (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 32% of Fleaflickes leagues ANALYSIS: Isaiah Crowell, the man I’ve previously referred to as Scarecrow, is moving up in the world. He ran 11 times Sunday for 77 yards and a touchdown. That’s a very tidy 7.0 yards per carry. And that’s not the only exciting news for […]

Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 34% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Beckham will see a significant increase in targets, particularly in the slot, with Victor Cruz out for the season. To be fair, Eli and the Giants offense as a whole looked like garbage in Week 6, but I […]

Clay Harbor (TE, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues Owned in 4% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: When the Jacksonville Jaguars lost Marcedes Lewis to a high ankle sprain in Week 2, the Jaguars were searching for a replacement and found it in Clay Harbor. Harbor is coming off a fantastic week vs. Tennessee with 3 catches, […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues / Monitor in All PPR Leagues Owned in 19% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It’s hard to know how long Shonn Greene will be out since hamstring injuries are hard to gauge. However, the fantasy community has been buzzing about Bishop Sankey for weeks now. Unfortunately, all Sankey did was respond with 18 carries […]

Andre Holmes (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR & Standard Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues Owned in 5% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I stand corrected on Andre Holmes. Two weeks ago, I had him as a player to avoid, but I can now say that I am buying into him. Derek Carr is a legitimate pass-thrower, and Holmes […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / Streamer for Week 7 Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Okay, so he's already owned in 50% of leagues. But that still doesn't mean he should be sitting on the waiver wire in 50% of leagues. Two great signs point to Smith being your quarterback stream of the week. First, I […]

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues / 10+ Team Standard Leagues Owned in 37% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: In the last two weeks, Jared Cook has been a receiving threat on the St. Louis Rams with a robust number of targets (21). The number of targets over the last two weeks actually places Cook as the top […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush found himself inactive for Sunday’s game due to an ankle injury. Not the best time to be inactive when your team has a plus matchup against a bad run defense, but you know, it happens. I’m not bitter that he was […]

Dwayne Allen (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues (Standard and PPR) Owned in 64% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: One of my tight end recommendations for Week 7 is Dwayne Allen of the Indianapolis Colts. Over the last three weeks Allen has 3 TDs to go along with 189 yards, and has become a red zone target for Andrew Luck. In […]

Mohamed Sanu (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: A.J. Green claims that he’ll be back soon, and it looks like he won’t need surgery on that troublesome toe. I don’t necessarily believe that, and as long as Sanu is the WR1 in that offense, he’s a fantasy starter. He had a monster […]

Ronnie Hillman (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: I didn’t want to cover a Broncos RB in detail last week, but I they really forced my hand this week. Hillman took over the lead back job from the injured Montee Ball, and he made Ball look bad in the process. Hillman rushed […]

Chandler Catanzaro (K, ARZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 17% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who are seeking a kicker, yes a kicker, I'm going to recommend you pickup Chandler Catanzaro right away. After all points are points in fantasy football. Let me share with you a few reasons with you why: (1) […]

James White (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Dynasty Leagues / Stash in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 9% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Who is James White? He’s a rookie running back weighing in at 5’9” and 204 lbs., taken by the Patriots in the fourth round of this year’s draft. Why am I mentioning him? Because Stevan Ridley tore his ACL / […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 47% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts finally looked 100% in Week 6, as he’d been crippled by a hamstring injury for the first part of the season. He proved why he is the clear top option in Jacksonville, as Blake Bortles targeted him a whopping 16 times, […]

Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues Owned in 7% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: As a Giants fan, it pains me to have recommend a Cowboys running back. But I take my job of helping you guys find running backs very seriously, so I do what I must. You all know by now that DeMarco Murray is playing like he […]

Andre Holmes (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues / Standard Leagues Owned in 6% of Fleaflicker leagues  ANALYSIS:  Over the last two weeks Andre Holmes has risen to the top of the Oakland Raiders scrapheap of wide receivers.  During that time Holmes has received 20 targets, 9 catches, 195 yards, and 3 TDs from Derek Carr. These […]

Week 7 Tight Ends: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

What’s up Rotoballers? Welcome to my Week 7 tight end waiver wire pickups piece. Sadly last week's recommendations were a little disappointing outside of Jordan Reed, but that's the nature of the game with tight ends who are more volatile than most fantasy positions. Hopefully this week I'll get back on track with my recommendations and help you improve […]

Week 7 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 6 was not kind to wide receivers. Some of the top talent didn’t play in Week 6, and a handful got injured in the action. Many fantasy lineups aren’t as threatening without A.J. Green, Calvin Johnson, or Victor Cruz in them. If you are one of those unfortunate owners, you surely could use some help at the […]

Week 7 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

There were eighteen possible running backs I could have covered this week in my running backs waiver wire piece.

And below that you will find my […]

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues as Bye Week / Injury Replacement ANALYSIS: With a weak receiving corps in St. Louis, Jared Cook is a guy who will get a lot of looks from rookie quarterback Austin Davis. If you are a Jimmy Graham owner looking for a backup, Cook could be the answer this […]
