Time to Unleash Jay Ajayi?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point, it may behoove the Dolphins to just run the ball 40 times a game. Ryan Tannehill has looked awful, as has the offense as a whole. OC Bill Lazor was fired today, and his removal should yield more touched […]

Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved […]

Bilal Powell a Must-Own Handcuff

BALLER MOVE: Add as Ivory Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory is the unquestioned top dog in New York, but Bilal Powell is a more-than-capable complement. Prior to his Week 4 injury, Powell had at least 10 carries in each game, and also had 13 catches over the three weeks. Since […]

James White In Line for More Looks in New England

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a […]

Theo Riddick Flexes His PPR Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Riddick sees very little work between the tackles, but his abilities as a pass-catcher are undeniable. If you're in a standard league, Riddick has less appeal due to his low touchdown total, but in any PPR format he is now a […]

Shaun Draughn Continues Being the Niner to Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Continuing to somehow show PPR Value, over the last 3 weeks Draughn has put up the 11th highest average per game amongst RBs in PPR. It seems consistent at this point that Draughn will put up 50 yards on the ground, […]

Finally Time to Fear Ameer?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Finally! The Lions coaches have come to the decision that they don't want to get fired, so Ameer Abdullah has been reinstated as the lead back. Although Riddick is obviously the 2 minute drill guy, Abdullah will be seeing the majority of the on […]

David Johnson Next Up for Cardinals

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Both Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington suffered injuries on Sunday, making David Johnson the next man up. He's already owned in many leagues thanks to a lot of time he spent vulturing from the two backs ahead of him, but he's still present […]

Who? What? Ware?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware is a big "who?" kind of name. One of the best non-NFL employed talent evaluators Matt Waldman wrote in depth about Ware, and stated when Ware entered the draft that he could be a great NFL-caliber back. Well, Ware showed his […]

Week 12 Busts For Fantasy Football: Tyrod Taylor, Lamar Miller, Mark Ingram, & Tavon Austin

Week 12 Fantasy Football Fallers: Philip Rivers, Chris Ivory, Amari Cooper & More

In Week 12 we really saw a lot of low scores across plenty of fantasy leagues. There were some big performances from names that were filling in for others.
