Week 16 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

To recap Week 15: Philip Rivers wasn’t special at all, but Colin Kaepernick earned his bump and Dak Prescott didn’t have a QB1 game. Bill Belichick opted to use his agile running backs instead of LeGarrette Blount, but at least he got a cheap TD to salvage his day, unlike Thomas Rawls. Knocking both Denver […]

Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, reports had surfaced before Tennessee’s bye that they were interested in using Henry more in short-yardage situations. It came to fruition against Kansas City in Week 15, as he tallied 58 yards and two touchdowns on only nine touches in an extremely efficient effort. One touchdown […]

Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Henry's touches aren't increasing very much, but he is making the most of the time he spends on the field. Henry scored twice against the Chiefs, much to the chagrin of DeMarco Murray owners. He only had nine rush attempts in the game, but came away with […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dixon’s workload took a step back in Week 15 against the Eagles, as the Ravens didn’t find themselves needing to catch up to a potent offense as they did in Week 14 against the Patriots. Still, Dixon took a nice halfback sweep off of a fake […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It took some time, but Dion Lewis has finally worked his way into the lead role for New England. He toted the rock 18 times for 95 yards against Denver, outrushing LeGarrette Blount. James White remains involved in passing situations, catching three passes […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most active leagues won't see Dixon available on the waiver wire, but he still comes in under 50% ownership as we close out Week 15. Dixon unofficially assumed RB1 duties for the Ravens in MNF against the Pats last week. Terrance West outcarried Dixon this week 13-9, […]

Ty Montgomery (RB/WR, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Montgomery was given the start at running back in the frigid cold against the Bears, and averaged over 10 yards per carry for 162 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries, with two catches for one yard. The passing line isn’t fantastic, but he truly dazzled as […]

Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Hightower didn’t gain a lot of yardage against Arizona (48 total) but tallied two rushing scores to entrench himself as an RB1 in Week 15. He wasn’t great compared to Mark Ingram (and trust me, Ingram let his coaches know this on the sideline in a tantrum), […]

Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues if Melvin Gordon remains injured OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Farrow flopped in relief of the injured Melvin Gordon to the tune of 15 carries for 39 yards and two catches for 14 yards alongside a fumble lost. Yuck. It’s pretty clear that Farrow isn’t ready to be a viable starter in this […]
