Buy Lows & Sell Highs: T.J. Yeldon, Stevie Johnson, Jacob Tamme & More

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season.

FanDuel Picks for Daily Fantasy Football Week 9: DFS Lineup Advice and Sleepers

Injuries are one of the worst parts about DFS - aside from losing, that is.

Unfortunately, these are not predictable, but we always need to put ourselves in the best position […]

All is well on draft day as fantasy owners in leagues of all stakes and sizes scan their rosters and smile. There’s Jamaal Charles, winking from the RB1 spot, the type of bell cow that heads a championship unit. Yes, Le’Veon Bell might be down two games due to his penchant for a certain plant, […]

Welcome to our Week 9 buy low / sell high, where we look to provide fantasy football trade advice. With Week 8 in the books and the NFL season officially more than half way done, the injuries are beginning to pile up. Only a few weeks after seeing Jamaal Charles and Arian Foster go down, […]

Pierre Thomas (RB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 14+ leagues Owned in: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: Did Pierre Thomas not find work this long because he was holding out for more money, or because the soon-to-be 31-year-old's skills have eroded? The logical answer is a little bit of both. Offered a veteran-minimum contract by the Texans at the beginning of […]

Week 9 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Week 8 was just awful. It was a gut-wrenching week for fantasy owners as a handful of key pieces were silenced by serious injuries.

There are four undefeated teams remaining in the NFL, three hail from the AFC and one is playing on Thursday Night Football.

Joique Bell the RB to Own in Detroit?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So much for Ameer Abdullah. Many owners were hoping for a Lamar Miller-like resurgence from "AA" after the coaching change in Detroit. Unfortunately, Abdullah is deeper in the doghouse than Snoopy during a blizzard. With Zenner out, this leaves Theo Riddick […]

Matt Jones Still a Viable RB Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 10 + Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Owned in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After the Bye week to rest up and get healthy, I think Matt Jones is poised to have a solid second half. DeSean Jackson is back and that should help Kirk Cousins spread the field a bit. Jordan […]

Grab Theo Riddick - Certified PPR Expert

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Lions got embarrassed across the pond on Sunday morning by the Kansas City Chiefs. While this meant some good catchup mode work for Theo Riddick, it still didn’t translate to any points being scored or any real prime opportunities […]

Time to Scoop Up Ahmad Bradshaw?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It would’ve been nice to see Ahmad Bradshaw get more work in the Indianapolis Colts’ offense than he has so far. Bradshaw had a season high seven rushes for 31 yards against the Carolina Panthers on Monday night, but didn’t […]

Deep League Diving: Stevan Ridley (RB, NYJ)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Stevan Ridley was active for the first time this year in the Jets’ Week 8 loss to the Oakland Raiders. It was a weird game for the Jets, as they lost Ryan Fitzpatrick early in the game to a ligament tear […]

Shaun Draughn (RB, SF) - A Powerball Ticket Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, if you’re in need of a lottery ticket here you are. Shaun Draughn (not to be confused with Reuben Droughns) was signed by the San Francisco 49ers in a depth move after Reggie Bush suffered a torn MCL and is […]

Can Dybala Spur Juventus In Serie A?

A quick look at the Italian Serie ‘A’ table after ten games will shock you, if you are a Juventus fan, as the four-time defending champion is languishing in 10th position on 15 points. However, that only tells half of the story. After a wretched start that saw them flirt with the bottom five, Old Lady […]

A.J. Green and Jeremy Hill Should Shine vs Browns

Thursday night's game features a matchup between the division rival Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.  The Bengals are 7-0 and are one of the hottest teams in the NFL.  The Bengals' high-powered offense is led by quarterback Andy Dalton, but he has a great supporting cast of weapons to utilize. Dalton's clear top option in […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB/flex depth OWNED IN: 68% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Some weeks it's Shane Vereen, some weeks it's Rashad Jennings. Or Andre Williams. Or now Orleans Darkwa. The New York Giants run game is certainly one of the most frustrating situations in all of fantasy football, but Vereen generally offers the most upside, due in no small […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB depth but avoid in DFS OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's difficult to recommend any player in the Tennessee Titans' offense at this point. The team ranks 31st in total yards per game (309.9) and points per game (17.9), ahead of only the hapless San Francisco 49ers in each category. […]

Fantasy Stock Down? Andy Dalton, Chris Ivory, Danny Woodhead & More

Kendall Gaskins (RB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The past few weeks have been rough for the running back position. Keep it between us, but I may have cried with Le'Veon Bell this past Sunday. But it's important to power through the stages of fantasy grief and accept that you have […]
