Preston Tucker (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With George Springer still not close to returning from a fractured wrist, Tucker has stepped up to fill the void. He’s hit five homers in his past 13 games. Unfortunately for him and the Astros, they haven’t come with many men on the […]

David Peralta (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Peralta was already having himself a nice little season before the All-Star break, but he’s turned on the jets since. In 15 games, he’s hit .365/.389/.654 with seven extra-base hits. A converted pitcher, Peralta’s compiled an .811 OPS with 18 homers and 11 steals […]

Kevin Pillar (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While he’s cooled considerably since the end of June, Pillar remains a sneaky value. Batting in the Jays’ lineup and park means he’ll score plenty of runs even at the bottom of the order, and he’s got a decent shot at a 10/25 season. […]

Alfred Blue Balls: Arian Foster to Possibly Have Groin Surgery

Ouch – for both Houston Texans key running back Arian Foster, and to those who were looking forward to drafting Foster in their fantasy football league (and by “those” people, I mean poor Blackberry-texting time travelers from the year 2012). After suffering a serious groin injury during Monday’s training camp, it was reported that Foster, […]

Miguel Sano (3B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All AL-Only and Most Mixed Leagues Ownership: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Miguel Sano has cooled since the break, but that was inevitable. At one point in the early going, his BABIP was .600.-- regression was bound to happen. He’s still showing great plate discipline and power, and remains in the middle of the Twins' lineup. If […]

Taylor Jungmann (SP, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in NL-Only and Most Mixed Leagues Ownership: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Taylor Jungmann is on a terrible team in a small market, but his 22% ownership is still astoundingly low. His 7.38 K/9, 3.10 FIP and 51.4% GB rate are excellent splits for any pitcher, let alone a rookie. Even if the Brewers do not give him run support, […]

Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Very Late Rounds Current ADP: 234 STD, 172 PPR ANALYSIS: Matt Jones should be the immediate 3rd down back for the Redskins, given Alfred Morris' passing game issues-- he currently averages 12 receptions a year. Jones could potentially take on even more of a role, as many reports have him impressing during the non-contact portion of […]

Reggie Bush (RB, SF) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Round 10 Current ADP: 120 STD, 112 PPR ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush isn’t the same flashy name he has been in past years, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t talented enough to keep putting up numbers. Since 2011, Bush has only seen injury twice-- once in 2013 when, during a pre-game warmup, he hurt his calf, […]

Still, there are some things to sort out in regard to the big four of Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Eddie Lacy. It’s not really […]

Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 18

Kyle Gibson righted the ship with an excellent turn against the Mariners. Last week's other buys didn't pan out so well. Tyson Ross couldn't take advantage of a great matchup with the Mets, while Cole Hamels scuffled in his Rangers debut. As for the sells, Danny Duffy predictable got shelled by the Blue Jays, Chris […]

A wacky game in Atlanta ended in extra innings when the Braves' Adonis Garcia drilled a walk-off, two-run home run to defeat the San Francisco Giants on Monday. The walk-off blast came in the 12th inning with the Braves chasing one run after the Giants took the lead at the top of the inning. The […]

Bartolo Colon pitched eight innings of one-run ball in a 12-1 victory over the Miami Marlins. It was a huge bounce-back start for Colon.

Kipnis (Shoulder) Placed On DL: Indians 2B Out 2-3 Weeks

Jason Kipnis has been placed on the 15-Day DL and will likely be sidelined for 2-3 weeks with a shoulder injury, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Cleveland Indians second baseman has been trying to fight through the injury for the last few days. Apparently, the pain was too much, leading the club to play […]

Matz (Lat) Throws On Flat Ground For First Time Since Injury

Steven Matz threw on flat ground Monday for the first time since he injured his lat muscle almost four weeks ago, according to ESPN New York. The New York Mets starting pitcher had two brilliant starts in his rookie season, including an overwhelmingly impressive minor league portfolio, before landing on the DL. His timetable is […]

Span (Back) Resumes Light Workouts: Hasn't Played Since Early July

Denard Span will resume light workouts on Monday as he continues to battle back from back issues, according to The Washington Post. The Washington Nationals outfielder took a cortisone injection in his back two weeks ago after being placed on the DL in early July. He has been resting ever since he received the shot. […]

Devonta Freeman (RB, ATL) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds CURRENT ADP: 110 STD, 88 PPR ANALYSIS: Devonta Freeman came into the league with a lot of hype last year as the guy expected to take over for Steven Jackson. I was definitely one of those people saying that. Unfortunately, that never came into fruition, and Freeman was used more as a pass […]

Curtis Granderson (OF, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Flealflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, that's right folks. Granderson is officially a "must have" in all fantasy baseball leagues. I understand that he is already 57% owned, so calling him a waiver wire pickup is a little bit of a stretch. But at this point, he is showing that […]

Carlos Sanchez (2B, CWS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanchez has been an important factor in the recent White Sox surge, hitting .326 over his last 30 games. He’s got a chokehold on the starting second base job, meaning the at-bats will be there. While he’s got absolutely no power to speak of, […]

Jed Lowrie (SS, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Lowrie is now back for Houston. While he won’t be reclaiming the starting shortstop gig from Carlos Correa, he should start regularly at third base over the one-dimensional Luis Valbuena. Prior to landing on the disabled list, Lowrie was having an excellent season, […]

Francisco Lindor (SS, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Lindor struggled in his first few weeks after being called up, but he has begun to put things together. Over his last 15 games, Lindor is hitting .339 with nine runs scored, 10 RBIs, and even three homers. He was one of the […]
