Dan Bailey (K, DAL)

BALLER MOVE: Grab in Late Rounds of Deep Leagues For Week 1 Start ANALYSIS: One thing we absolutely love at RotoBaller are kickers who play half their games in dome stadiums, and Mr. Dan Bailey is at the top of the list for week 1 kickers who are poised to put up some points. Hosting the San […]

Avisail Garcia (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Garcia's return this year came as a bit of a surprise, just five months after tearing the labrum in his left shoulder diving for a ball in the outfield. The White Sox may be a longshot for the postseason, but that doesn't take anything away from […]

2014 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top 60 Wide Receivers

While we've already published our Top 60 Wide Receivers in three separate tiers, we thought it was time to update these rankings just a little bit, especially considering all the news out of preseason and the number of position battles we're seeing among wide receivers.  This is not a knee-jerk overreaction based on preseason performances, just some basic accounting […]

Jonathan Schoop (2B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Leagues (14+ Teams) ANALYSIS: At this point in the season, if you are in a mixed league and looking to turn to Jonathan Schoop as the savior of your MI slot (or even worse, 2B slot), then you are probably the captain of a sinking ship, or just fighting […]

Travis d'Arnaud (C, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues / Deeper Leagues / Two-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: When the Mets traded reigning Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey before the 2013 season, they expected a little more from top propsect Travis d'Arnaud than they have gotten thus far. In 385 at-bats over the past two seasons, d'Arnaud owns just a […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~80  (Current ADP: 98, QB: 14) ANALYSIS:  For those of you who are seeking a sleeper QB option look no further than Jay Cutler. While Cutler has some risk with his injury history (his last full season was 2009), he does come with some upside. Chicago Bears new head coach and offensive minded […]

Danny Amendola (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: ~115 (ADP135,WR55) ANALYSIS: Speaking of guys who get injured pretty frequently, have you met Danny Amendola? He's only played in 16 games once in his five year career - the highest he has ever finished at the wide receiver position is being the 47th best in the fantasy game. Yikes. So why am […]

Hakeem Nicks (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 (ADP 115, WR 44) ANALYSIS: I understand why Hakeem Nicks' ADP is this low, and even lower on some boards. It's a case of too many mouths for Andrew Luck to feed, his injury history, and the fact that in the past two years Hakeem Nicks has finished +50 in the wide […]

Alex Avila (C, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues, Mixed Leagues With Two Catcher Slots ANALYSIS: Perhaps Alex Avila has been overlooked as a result of the strength of the team around him, but he has been a consistently solid contributor for the Tigers over the past five years. When healthy, he has good power for a catcher, […]

Kenny Britt (WR, STL) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 150 (Current ADP: 168, WR: 61) ANALYSIS: Coach Jeff Fisher knew exactly what he was getting when he reunited with Kenny Britt in St. Louis this season.
