Buffalo Bills: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook

If there’s one thing the Buffalo Bills do not shy away from on a consistent basis it’s the almighty fantasy hype machine. Seemingly every year someone on the Bills ends up getting overhyped to the point where someone is pretty much guaranteed to get burned by over drafting. Whether it’s running back C.J. Spiller, former […]

Juwan Thompson (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Worth a Look in Dynasty Leagues (Current ADP: Undrafted) ANALYSIS: With the first string players taking a short shift in the first week of the preseason, a door was opened for second and third string players to show why they deserve a spot on the NFL roster. Juwan Thompson didn’t just walk through the […]

Danny Duffy (SP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: On the season, Danny Duffy has been a strong starting pitcher for the Royals. Given that he's only 49% owned in Yahoo leagues, Duffy is making another appearance on our fantasy baseball waiver wire sleepers list. In 115.2 IP this season, Duffy has given up 82 H and only 33 […]

Brian Hartline (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 ( Current ADP: 176 ADP, WR50) ANALYSIS: Before I tell you why Brian Hartline is a nice sleeper, do yourself a favor and read the article by Edward G about Ryan Tannehill. Now that we're all on the same page about why I like Tannehill going into the year, I'd like to […]

Adam LaRoche (1B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In the last seven days, LaRoche has been very strong at the plate putting up ten hits in 26 AB, three of which were doubles, along with 7 runs, 3 HR and 4 RBI while taking five walks. His batting average over the last week has been .385, which is fantastic and […]

Brandon McCarthy (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: A lot of times when pitchers switch from the NL to the AL, they're greeted with the harsh reality that, well, offenses are more potent in the AL. This has not been the case for Brandon McCarthy, who has been fantastic since joining the Yankees at the beginning […]

Last week we looked the first twelve in the Top 25 Tight End Rankings here.  Now we'll get into the tight ends who will most likely occupy flex spots or ride the bench. Still you should know all these top tight ends and be prepared on draft day in case one of them falls to you […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 20 (Part 1)

It should be quite an odd week for owners that are streaming starting pitchers.  The Monday games will offer some not-so-good choices, but Wednesday has a nice selection.  As if the universe is toying with owners, the later games on Tuesday allow for better matchups for streamers than do the earlier games.  It’s like a King […]

Wide Receiver Sleeper for 2014 - Michael Floyd

  Michael Floyd is Flying Under the Radar, Somehow How is Michael Floyd not being hyped up more as one of the best sleepers to own in both redraft and dynasty leagues?  He was the 13th overall pick in the 2012 draft (could have been higher had it not been for his DUI), had a nice […]

5 Two-Start Starting Pitcher Sleeper Streamers for Week 20

This piece focuses on the best two-start starting pitcher streamers and sleeper waiver wire pickups for Week 20 of fantasy baseball. These sleeper pitchers are near or below 50% ownership in Yahoo! leagues, and some are ideal for shallow leagues, but most are under-the-radar starters that can be considered in head-to-head leagues.   Jesse Hahn, SD / Odrisamer […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks, Advice & Sleepers for 8/11

Here are my top value plays for Fanduel today. I did not include the Mets-Phillies afternoon game which is not included on the Fanduel slate. There are a lot of awful matchups, pitching-wise, to take advantage of today. I would recommend a stack of Tampa lefties against Colby Lewis, Rangers righties against Drew Smyly, Twins […]

  Outfielder Options For Fantasy Baseball For fantasy owners looking to boost their outfield, here are five options to consider adding off of the waiver wire.

Injury Bouncebacks, Sleepers and Strategy for 2014 Fantasy Football

“Hey great job cracking jokes and barely giving us any real fantasy insight! Must be a real easy job, ya ninny. Tell me. Why are you only talking about injured wide receivers and not about any other positions?” Hello reader who I just created in my mind (and yes, for those New Girl fans wondering, […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 (Current ADP 131, WR49) ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle has always been a talent that the Giants liked, hence why they drafted him in the 2nd round of the 2012 draft. The main thing standing in Randle's way of being a high impact performer has seemed to be that Eli Manning has had the […]

Caleb Joseph (C, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All Two-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Caleb Joseph may be baseball's hottest hitter, with a home run in five straight games now after Saturday night's game against the Cardinals, making him the most recent add to our waiver wire sleepers list. The 28-year-old rookie is a career .268 hitter in […]

Vance Worley (SP, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Vance Worley has made quite a resurgence with the Bucs this year after getting rocked on a consistent basis to the tune of a 7.21 ERA in 2013 with the Twins. Now back in the National League, he has regained his form, with a 2.43 ERA in 55.2 […]

Top 5 Hitter Streamers For Week 20: Sleeper Waiver Wire Targets

This might be my favorite time of the year. Baseball is gearing up into its playoff stretch, fantasy players are duking it out for the right to championship honors, and football teams are strapping on the pads and getting ready for the first few games of the preseason. It's a good time to be a […]

Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS) Waiver Wire Pickups (Week 20)

So how’s your team looking for the fantasy baseball home stretch? Whether you’re at the top of the heap or languishing in the basement, your team can always use a shot in the arm… or in this case, the roster. If you play fantasy baseball, I don't need to tell you that Chicago Cubs prospect […]

Weekend Pitching Streamer Options: The Best & Worst

With the fantasy baseball playoffs right around the corner, every game you get out of your starting pitchers becomes more and more important. While it's always smart to look at the waiver wire to try and find pitching sleepers and pad stats during the weekend, not every guy is worth picking up. With that in […]

Indianapolis Colts: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook

The Indianapolis Colts are emerging as one of the young threats in the AFC due largely in part to the success of quarterback Andrew Luck. For a team that many believe are a lock to make the playoffs, it’s kind of strange that they’ve only produced one player who is a surefire fantasy star. That […]

Travis Kelce (KC, TE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target in Last Rounds of Deep Drafts / Grab Off Waiver Wire (Current ADP: Undrafted) ANALYSIS: The TE position is extremely shallow, meaning a lower tier TE won't need to do much to be worth of playing time on a fantasy squad.  That makes Travis Kelce an interesting option. With Kansas City as weak as […]

Jake McGee (RP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Jake McGee is the new Sean Doolittle, and by that I mean he's the new "most dominant closer who also doesn't walk anyone, ever, for real".  Don't believe me?  Consider this: since taking over the closer role for the Rays on June 27th, McGee has pitched 17 innings, during which […]

Adeiny Hechavarria (SS, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues / NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Adeiny Hechavarria is not great at any one thing. That being said, the Marlins shortstop has posted decent numbers across the board this season, but nothing totally astounding. With post-break injuries and slowing production coming from several utility players and players in the shortstop position, […]

Charles Clay (TE, MIA) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target around pick ~130 (Current ADP 156 / TE15) ANALYSIS: The tight end position has long been a shallow one at best. Guys like Graham and Gronk seem to dominate that role on the field, leaving other players in the dust – or so it seems. Guys like that are definitely special, but […]

Jason Castro (C, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In AL-Only Leagues, Mixed Leagues With Two Catcher Slots ANALYSIS: The 27-year-old catcher Jason Castro has taken a major step back this year after a breakout season in 2013. In 339 at-bats, he has posted just a .230 batting average with 11 home runs and 43 RBI. He is struggling equally against righties and […]
