Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: On Sunday, Bortles had one of the best games of his young career in a win over the Dolphins. He played a mistake-free game, and most importantly he wasn’t sacked a single time. This was especially surprising considering Bortles had been sacked […]

Johnny Manziel (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Manziel’s Week 2 performance versus the Tennessee Titans was a strange but pleasant surprise. Manziel didn’t have any big runs, but found Travis Benjamin deep for two separate 50 yard+ touchdowns. That combined with no interceptions gave Manziel a serviceable fantasy day. […]

Week 2 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

If you managed to weather the storm of Week Two’s brutal injuries and dud performances to the tune of a win, congratulations. If, like me, you were let down by your studs (I’m looking at you, Brandin Cooks and Mike Evans), my sincerest condolences. Between a slew of quarterback setbacks and random disappointments, the second […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston had just about as bad a debut as you can have. He had a -9.3 ProFootballFocus grade, which is tragic. Week 2 saw Winston square up with the crummy New Orleans Saints defense, and if he didn't perform well, I'd […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues and as Romo/Brees/Stafford replacement. OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Joe Flacco did well yesterday in a shootout with the…Oakland Raiders. While the Raiders secondary should be gashed, he still had to actually perform. Flacco went against a good Broncos defense in Week 1, and this scared some people […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Tyrod Taylor is turning into a grown man. Tyrod Taylor looked like the victim of gameflow in Week 1 when the Bills jumped out to an early lead against the Colts, and the beneficiary of it in Week 2 when Taylor needed to […]

Spanish La Liga - Week 4

The midweek Champion's League fare had a record five Spanish teams in action with Sevilla, Real and Atletico Madrid all notching up victories, Barcelona leaving Rome with a point and Valencia stumbling at home to Zenit. The question was, would any of the Iberian contingency experience a kind of post Euroepan hangover. The answer was yes. […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m finally there. I’m in the camp of the Red Rocket. I started him in a 12-team league on Sunday, and was handsomely rewarded to the tune of 214 yards, three touchdowns and zero turnovers. Dalton has played remarkably well through two games, totaling […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel

Let’s start off with a quick Week 2 review, where I was 2-of-3 on my QB wavier wire picks. Colin Kaepernick had a huge day like I expected, and the Steelers secondary continues to look dreadful. You can feel pretty good about playing QBs against them almost every week. Tyrod Taylor remained available in plenty […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Three The second Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues.

Perhaps more importantly, Taylor was able to rack up 41 yards on the ground making him […]

The Daily Divide: Week Two DFS

Matt and Nathan each offer cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments and debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Matt probably makes more good points than Nathan over the long haul though, so please pay special attention […]

Week 2 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Booms: QB Sam Bradford, PHI: I had Bradford in this space last week, and while he didn't boom in the first half, he came pretty close to doing so in the second half. The Eagles offense looking out of sync in its first regular season game on the road was not a shock. However, there is no […]

Fantasy Football Week 2 Boom and Bust Candidates for Early Games

In many ways, Week 2 is the most important week of the early fantasy football season. If you started off 1-0, now you have a chance to perch yourself atop the league with a victory. At 0-1, the last thing you want to do is fall into an 0-2 hole, so a Week 2 victory […]

Fantasy Football Buys and Sells for Week 2

The aftermath of Week 1 in fantasy football is always an interesting time. Some owners panic in the wake of a dud debut from their star players, while others mortgage the rest of their season in pursuit of a host of obscure players who happened to find the end zone. In the midst of all […]

Week 2 Deeper Sleepers: T-Mobile and Replacement WR Options

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues.

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton is usually a polarizing fantasy option.
