Knile Davis (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Knile Davis should have a firmer grip on Green Bay’s playbook by next week, but I still would not be prioritizing him in any of my Waiver Wire queues or FAAB bids. He’s never been all that special, and I doubt Mike McCarthy sways from utilizing Ty Montgomery […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker has yet to play with Denver hitting the field tonight in Week 7’s MNF game against the Texans, but he’s trending up after he turned his five carries into 46 yards while catching both of his targets for seven yards in Denver's Week 6 Thursday matchup against the […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The buzz is growing, but the most recent reports from The Boston Herald say that Dion Lewis' return “isn’t imminent” – which aligns with his not practicing this past week (though he was eligible to do so). As we said last week, my money would be on his […]

Mike Gillislee (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You reap what you sow, Rex Ryan. LeSean McCoy flirted with being inactive all week long, but was fired up anyway despite his definitely not being 100%. What happened? He predictably re-aggravated his hamstring injury and had to leave the game in the third quarter. While Mike Gillislee […]

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rodgers came off his touching the ball 35 times in a gritty game against Carolina in Week 5 to rush the ball 26 times for 154 yards (adding in a nine-yard catch) against a horrid San Francisco defense. His volume is off the charts in Tampa Bay’s offense and […]

Zach Zenner (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Zach Zenner found the end zone on a goal-line play, ending his day with nine carries for 29 yards. He won't rip off many long runs and should be viewed strictly as a short yardage back. The Lions could get Theo Riddick and/or Dwayne Washington back […]

Rob Kelley (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Monitor in deep leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rob Kelley also saw some time after Matt Jones entered the dog house with his fumbling ways and produced a receiving touchdown. Kelley only carried the ball four times for 15 yards, but has shown some potential when given the chance. He isn't worth owning at the moment, but […]

Ka'Deem Carey (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues if you own Jordan Howard OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ka'Deem Carey surprisingly outsnapped Jordan Howard in Thursday night's loss at Green Bay. He had slightly more success too, running for 48 yards on 10 carries. He shouldn't be a threat to Howard's starting job, but could be worked into the rotation more frequently […]

Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues if healthy for next Sunday OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yes, I'm still stumping for D-Wash (the Detroit one). Dwayne Washington was expected to play this week, but needed a bit more time to recover from a bum ankle. Justin Forsett hasn't done anything to hold onto the job and Theo Riddick remains out, […]

Knile Davis (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The presumed new starting RB for Green Bay only carried the ball three times and managed to end up with -1 yard on Thursday. To be fair, Knile Davis only had a couple of days to prepare for his debut in a Packers uniform. Then again, he […]

Chris Ivory (RB, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 69% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory only carried the ball five times on Sunday, but that was more a result of game flow. T.J. Yeldon only carried the ball six times as the Jags just couldn't muster any offense. Ivory did rip off a 47-yard run, but did nothing on his remaining carries. […]

C.J. Prosise (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Seahawks were eager enough to get C.J. Prosise on the field that they deactivated recent acquisition C.J. Spiller for Week 7 and only gave one carry to backup Alex Collins. The third-round pick out of Notre Dame didn't see much action, carrying the ball once for […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Whether Devontae Booker sees more carries on Monday Night Football remains to be seen, but he is among the top handcuffs to own at the moment. Booker hasn't necessarily seen his usage increase, with just five rushes last week, but he has shown more burst than C.J. Anderson. Coach […]

Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Jones' lost fumble turned into Chris Thompson's repeated gains. Jones fumbled straight into the end zone on a goal-line opportunity and only saw 10 carries on the day as a result. Thompson then saw a jump in carries, turning 12 runs into 73 yards. His […]

Monday Morning NFL Recap - Week 7 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

I feel like we as a country needed this week to happen, you know?  To fall back into the comforting routine of Roger Goodell's catching heat for his complete, almost sociopathic lack of regard for the health or happiness of women.  I'm not saying he's secretly a sci-fi version of Donald Trump who's discovered a […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids (Week 7)

Perhaps the playing level has diminished, but what about the coaching? Mike McCarthy this Sunday made some boneheaded decisions.
