Week 3 Wide Receiver (WR) Pickups: Deeper Waiver Options

Deeper fantasy football leagues leave you grasping for straws when it comes to the wide receiver position, especially late in each week when waiver wire claims have run and you may have missed your guy. Also once injuries start setting in, and injury statuses get updated multiple times each week, it can make things even […]

James Jones (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues 63% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming into the season there was a little uncertainty around who would wind up as the #1 wide receiver in Oakland.  Rod Streater has been a steady presence there, and many anticipated (yet again) the breakout of Denarius Moore.  But After Week 2 […]

Wade Davis (RP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues for ERA, WHIP Help ANALYSIS: Wade Davis has a 0.69 ERA. Through 65.1 innings pitched. That is five earned runs, over the course of almost an entire year. His 0.81 WHIP, 13.22 K/9 ratio and 4.57 K/BB ratio are all significantly above-average, as well. In short, Davis is having […]

Aaron Dobson (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues Owned in 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: When catching footballs in New England, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. Rob Gronkowski is obviously the #1 target for Tom Brady. Julian Edelman stepped up last season as the main Wide Receiver for Brady. Danny Amendola, when healthy, is […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 25 (Part 2)

With less than two weeks remaining, three teams have punched their playoff cards and up to seventeen teams-- nine teams, realistically-- are fighting for the remaining seven spots.  Over the next three or four games we’ll probably see up to six teams get eliminated from playoff contention.  This will leave a little over a week […]

3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals in Week 2

  Players That Are Making Me Nervous Originally I didn't plan to make this a weekly column for the entire fantasy football season, but it just lends itself so well. Every fantasy football owner's worst nightmare is drafting someone on draft day, just to see them underperform and not put up nearly enough points for […]

Hey again guys, it's time for another round of my quarterback waiver wire picks for Week Three of fantasy football action. Even though waivers ran for most leagues last night, it’s never to late to see who’s sitting out there on your waiver wire and identify some sleepers to beef up your fantasy teams. Last week […]

Niles Paul (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues, Monitor in Shallow Leagues Owned in 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Niles Paul is available in 73% of Fleaflicker leagues right now, and if you read my Week 2 & 3 TE Waiver pickup articles, you would be aware that Paul was on the radar to make an impact in Week 2 […]

Drew Hutchison (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Hutchison has had an up-and-down year, but has really turned it on as of late with the exception of his most recent start  (@BAL, giving up 6 ER but K'ing 11). The 24-year-old lefty had tossed four straight quality starts prior to that, and has struck out […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Immediately Owned in 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week we talked about the AP situation, including his deactivation for Week 2's game and speculating on Matt Asiata as the fill-in running back for the Vikings and waiver wire pickup for your fantasy football teams. Hopefully you were able to snag him […]

Week 3 Risers & Fallers for Fantasy Football

Week 2 was initially overshadowed by a handful of off-the-field issues, primarily the Ray Rice saga and the Adrian Peterson case. But once the games got underway, the injury bug hit many high-profile fantasy studs, forcing owners to take a step back and evaluate their rosters for the upcoming weeks. Luckily, bye weeks are still a week away, […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks, Advice & Sleepers for 9/17

There is such a thing as an east coast bias.  There’s also such a thing as a Beltway Bias and that term does deserve to be capitalized.  The Orioles and the Nationals both clinched their respective divisions last night the way every organization should clinch a division.  My beltway bias oozed out of my pores […]

Deeper League Catchers: Waiver Wire Options for Week 25

  Three Catchers For Deeper Leagues As we near the end of the MLB season and the fantasy baseball playoffs are upon us, here are some sleeper waiver wire catcher options that might help you in deeper leagues and two-catcher formats, if they’re still available. Hopefully your fantasy baseball teams are still in the thick of […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues or Deeper Owned in 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you read my Week 2 Risers and Fallers article last week, you knew that I was not very high on Robert Griffin III. Little did I know that he was going to dislocate his ankle, paving the way for Kirk […]

Ahmad Bradshaw (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's clear to everyone except maybe the Colts that Ahmad Bradshaw has easily outplayed Trent Richardson, in just about any NFL game that the two of them have played together. In standard fantasy football leagues, over the first two games of the season, Bradshaw […]

Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mark Ingram was due for a breakout year this year. He was finally having it, and then he went and broke his hand on Sunday. Enter Khiry Robinson, who if you ask me, is Mark Ingram's more talented compliment. Khiry Robinson grades out as a more […]

Delanie Walker (TE, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off of his best season as a pro in 2013, the former 49ers great Delanie Walker has been begging for more targets - and he's been receiving them in the Titans current offensive system with Jake Locker healthy. He's already started the first two games of the […]

Going forward I will also include a recap of the previous week's recommended tight ends, so that you can see […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 10+ Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Hill is currently owned in just 52% of Fleaflicker leagues, which I find pretty tough to believe. The rookie Bengals' running back is showing more efficiency than Gio Bernard, with a very solid 4.9 YPC, and is also seeing his carries rise, with 15 rushing attempts in […]

Bobby Rainey (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (especially if you are a Doug Martin owner) ANALYSIS: If you drafted Doug Martin this season and are a knowledgeable fantasy sports player you might already own Bobby Rainey. With Martin being scratched just before game time in week two, Rainey stepped in and ran like a bat out […]

Justin Forsett (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: “Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is gone; But there's half-a-hundred ripples.” The recent Ray Rice situation was quite the pebble. However, Rice is gone and what we have now is the ripples left, one of them being Justin Forsett. Now that Bernard Pierce’s […]

Week 2 NFL Recap & Week 3 Fantasy Football Prep

Allow me to sum up all of Week Two in one word: Ouch. Injuries ran rampant all throughout the league this week with some being more serious than others.
