Risers and Fallers for Week 2 Fantasy Football

Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. Experienced fantasy players know it happens every year. A player gets hot and sees an increased role, while others struggle and […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues Owned In: 84% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: By averaging only 6.6 yards per-attempt against the Vikings in Week One, Marcus Mariota did not look the part of a franchise NFL QB. Fortunately for fantasy owners, yards-per-attempt isn’t a statistic that matters from week to week. The stats […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues Owned In: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Heading into 2016, fantasy owners rightfully had questions about drafting Joe Flacco. After tearing both his ACL and MCL in Week 11 last season, reports had surfaced this summer that Flacco wouldn’t be 100% to start the year. Fortunately, not […]

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Owned In: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Perhaps the most surprising QB performance of Week One was Carson Wentz, who dominated the Browns on a 22-for-37 line with 278 yards and two touchdowns. Oh wait…he was playing the Browns. Nevermind, not surprising. But, impressive nonetheless for a rookie quarterback […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Owned In: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Jay Cutler’s Week One was far from spectacular, but it wasn’t a total mess either on the road against an elite Houston defense. His 16-for-29 effort for 216 yards and one touchdown was likely far better than what fantasy owners were expecting, […]

Matt Ryan (QB, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned In: 83% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Is Matty Ice back? After Week One’s performance, he just might be. In a disappointing home loss to the Bucs, Matt Ryan completed 27 of 39 passes for 334 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He was big letdown to fantasy owners last season, but […]

Matthew Stafford (QB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned In: 83% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Talk about making a statement in Week One. Everyone has heard about Matthew Stafford’s numbers since Jim Bob Cooter took over Detroit’s offense last year, but it was still great to see him carry it over into a new season. Of course, it was […]
