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. A former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in 2009, Britt showed great promise in his first two seasons, totaling 84 catches for 1,476 yards […]

  3 Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Sleepers Michael Pineda - NYY (50% Owned) In his first start since April 23rd, Michael Pineda delivered five innings allowing just two hits and one earned run while striking out four.

Three Running Backs Who Won't Break Out in 2014

Depending on how many different analysts you read, there are probably thirty different breakout and sleeper candidates at running back every year.

BALLER MOVE: Grab in Late Rounds in Deep League or Snag off Waiver Wire (Current ADP: Undrafted) ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been working very hard to supply probable starter Josh McCown with similar weapons to what he had last season when he replaced the injured Jay Cutler in Chicago. With an already established WR1 […]

Dayan Viciedo (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Daily Lineups Leagues (12+ Teams) ANALYSIS:  Viciedo has flashed some very solid power for stretches so far during the 2014 season, delivering on the promise showed by his six opposite-field homers in 2013.  At just 25 years old, Viciedo's power continues to grow, and he is on pace to hit 20 […]

Michael Morse (1B / OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Morse is having a solid year at the dish, and his power numbers should be enticing for fantasy owners in deeper leagues, especially given the flexibility offered by Morse's multi-position eligibility.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 (Current ADP: 127, WR42) ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle is entering the 2014 NFL season as the second wide out for the New York Giants with rookie Odell Beckham presumably winning the slot role.

Jarrod Dyson (OF, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (14+ Teams) ANALYSIS: The Kansas City Royals have been holding on tight to their 50th round investment in the 2006 draft, but was it all worth it in hindsight? After all these years, Jarrod Dyson, the Royals' veteran 4th outfielder is finally getting enough MLB at bats to have a fantasy impact, […]

Rookie Wide Receivers You Should Target and Avoid in Your Drafts

Late-round draft picks in fantasy football drafts are like lottery tickets: you invest a minimal amount with the expectation of minimal returns, but with a chance at a big payout.  The big payouts are the deep sleeper candidates we search for every year, and no draft strategy is complete without those types of players.  Obviously, […]

Houston Texans: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook

The Houston Texans were undoubtedly one of the most disappointing teams during the 2013 season. The offense completely fell apart due to horrific play out of starting quarterback Matt Schaub and a season ending injury to star running back Arian Foster. Despite those setbacks, wide receiver Andre Johnson still managed to put together a decent […]

Terrance West (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~115  (Current ADP: 120, RB: 40) ANALYSIS:  While all the talk has been about Johnny Manziel in Cleveland there's a battle going on in the RB corps that you should pay attention to.  Currently Ben Tate is listed and paid as the #1 RB option however if you know anything about Ben […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 115 (Current ADP: 136, RB: 44) ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers typically hate these pseudo-committees teams are implementing in their back-fields, but in the Cincinnati Bengals case it looks like it may be a dynamic thunder and lightning punch. This proposed dynamic-duo would consist of Giovani Bernard, and Jeremy Hill and they're being led by […]

Oswaldo Arcia (OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: You were almost ready to give up on your fantasy baseball team, but wait, there are still studs like Twins outfielder Oswaldo Arcia available for the plucking in plenty of leagues.

Jordan Schafer (OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues and Very Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Jordan Schafer has been off to the races since debuting in Minnesota back on Aug. 5th.
