Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep and 2QB Leagues Ownership: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: "Game manager" Alex Smith finally has an arsenal of weapons to work with. In his second year, tight end Travis Kelce appears set to emerge as a star. Kelce, who caught five touchdowns in 2014, reeled in two scores in an 106-yard effort in […]
NFL Survivor League Picks: Top Targets & Avoids for Survivor Pools (Week 2)
Week 1 of the NFL saw the favorites win nine of 13 contests. I correctly picked the Jets and Cardinals to win, but unfortunately the Bucs were hammered. I wrote to avoid the Cowboys - who won solely due to the terrible clock management of the Giants - and correctly predicted an upset of the Colts by the […]
Down Goes DeSean: How Washington Will Respond
Kirk Cousins had DeSean Jackson open on a fly route down the right sideline, but Cousins overthrew him. Jackson's final stride to try to get to the ball left him grabbing his left leg immediately after the play, and it wasn't long before he was angrily on the trainer's table. Now it appears that Jackson […]

English Premier League - Review of Matchday Five's Top Games
Man U’s Offense Comes Alive - Without Wayne Rooney Manchester United 3-1 Liverpool Saturday, September 12th @ Old Trafford With the skipper on the bench, United’s offense finally woke up, scoring three goals in their defeat of Liverpool. The Red Devils were the better team from the opening whistle. In a goalless first half, United dominated […]
Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Week 2 Matchup Stream OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I can't lie, I didn't expect anything out of Nick Foles against the Seahawks. Even with some overtime, his 297 yards and no interceptions were extremely impressive. He did lose two fumbles, but saved his fantasy day with a rushing […]
Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add as Backup QB / Week 2 Matchup Stream OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kaepernick is above 50% as of this writing, but once the waiver period passes, I'm guessing that a lot of people will be dropping Kaep to pick up Marcus Mariota or maybe even a guy like Alex Smith or Andy […]
From 40 Seconds to Eternity: New York Giants Crap the Bed in Season Opener
We all have that one friend - that one obnoxious mofo who quotes stats in the form of insults and contentiously trolls haters on Twitter who throw shade at their precious team. We’re friends with him, but we seriously hate that guy to his very core and silently wish swamp flesh eating parasites get a hold […]
2015 Fantasy Football Week 2: Risers and Fallers From Week 1
It's only been one week folks. Take a deep breath with me, and come back from the ledge of trading Odell Beckham Jr. for Bishop Sankey. Find that perfect balance of appropriate reaction. Be the zen master. Trying to be a perfectionist in fantasy sports will drive you insane, as you won't avoid all of […]
Week 1 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
The Christmas season is finally upon us with our first Sunday of the 2015 NFL year officially in the books.

If you’re new […]
Week 2 Quarterbacks: Waiver Wire Pickups, Sleepers & Streamers
The first week of the season was good to me. Both Alex Smith and Andy Dalton had top ten days, and my deeper league pickup Tyrod Taylor exceeded my expectations as well. I'll look to continue that success in Week Two. On the bright side, we do have meaningful data in real games to work […]
Spanish La Liga - Week Three
The footballing narrative that continues to sketch its motif upon the Spanish La Liga further embedded itself, once again this weekend, into the absolute highest stations of global football. Whilst the traditionally combustive and sometimes brutally enthralling fixture of Manchester United and Liverpool in the EPL did at least offer a probable goal of the […]
Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mariota is a must own right now. Although he only took 16 passes on Sunday, those passes hit their mark with a 209 yard and 4 touchdown game. Mariota is unlikely to ever repeat that kind of efficiency again this season, but showing […]
Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add as Streamer or QB2 for Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: On the exact opposite spectrum from Palmer, we have the unknown of Tyrod Taylor. Coming into this week, there was a lot of fantasy speculation as to what Tyrod can do this season. Like Palmer, he's surrounded by a strong […]
Carson Palmer (QB, ARZ) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's surprising that the ownership for Carson Palmer wasn't significantly higher entering the year. Stocked with talent at nearly every surrounding position, Palmer will be throwing regularly this season to Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown, Michael Floyd (Limited in week 1), Andre Ellington, and David […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in Two-QB Leagues / Backup QB in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor is a bit of a wildcard, having never started a game in his career. He has played extensively just once, but he did flash fantasy potential in that one game. He played the majority of Baltimore’s 2012 […]
Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash as Backup QB in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In week 1 you probably don't need a QB fill-in. Nobody has had a surprise injury pop up, and nothing has changed enough since the draft that you will need to start Derek Carr this week. So this is more about deeper leagues, […]
