Week 8 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
The amount of injuries during Week 8 was an absolute nightmare for fantasy owners.

Week 9 Deeper Sleepers: Things Are Going to Get Wild
Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Week 8 was not kind to fantasy owners or my picks.

Hail Mary Play: Hope Chris Polk Pokes One In
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 22% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As most predicted, it was Alfred Blue who led the Texans backfield in touches in the team's first game without Arian Foster. Blue rushed for just 39 yards on 14 carries while catching five passes for 33 yards. This performance certainly did not […]
Theo Riddick: Bad Team, Reliable Option
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 31% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another absolute disaster of a game for the Lions. At this point it is almost a guarantee that they will be down and down big and that is when Riddick does most of his damage as a dynamic pass catcher. It […]
Stay Ahead of the Curve and Add Karlos Williams
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The rookie bruiser should finally be back at 100% after a lengthy absence due to a concussion, and as his health returns so does his fantasy value. Williams is a much better inside runner than the jumping-and-cutting LeSean McCoy, and has already […]
Antonio Andrews Plods into Fantasy Relevance
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Andrews was the clear leader in the backfield this past weekend, receiving 19 touches in a loss to the Texans. With Tennessee down the entire game, one may have expected to see more Dexter McCluster in this one, but it was Andrews […]
Recent Injury Bug Could Open Door for Ben Tate
BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Man, remember Ben Tate? Everyone use to be so excited about this guy before he had a rough, rough season with the Browns that involved losing his job to Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West (who have both lost their jobs). Well, […]
Bid Aggressively on DeAngelo Williams
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: He's already owned in most leagues, but if you're in one where he isn't, he has to be owned now. During the two weeks Bell was out, Williams somehow managed to be amongst the top fantasy running backs and is on his […]
Orleans Darkwa a Not So Dark Horse RB Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Orleans Darkwa would leave the game early on against the Saints, but once again he looked like a good running back on the NFL field. I'd be more than willing to take Darkwa on most rosters I have and hope that he […]
Could David Cobb Give Your Team a Titanic Boost?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to the time of the season where Cobb returns and carries everyone into the promise land of the playoffs. Nah, not really. But he's going to likely do better than any of the current backs are playing in Tennessee. […]
Ray Rice a Good Stash for Desperate Owners?
BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Look, no one's expecting him to get signed. I'm not going to tell you to drop a player for him either but if you've got the spot open why not? Le'Veon Bell, Matt Forte, and even Reggie Bush's injury opens up the need for […]
Week 9 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
It's not too late. Week 8 is in the books and for most leagues that means that we are half way through the season. By no means is it too late to turn a season around and with the myriad of injuries this past week, the waiver wire is just the place to do it. […]
Jeremy Langford a Top Tier Injury Replacement
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Forte is reportedly dealing with an MCL injury, meaning Langford becomes the next man up. Langford was an elusive back in college who showed some good spurts of vision and had some receiving skills to boot. In my notes, I felt […]

It’s starting to become money time in fantasy land – the time for mistakes has passed. If you’re locked in a race for the playoffs right now, the last thing you need is to leave points on the bench or place faith in a guy who is destined to put up a dud. While it’s […]
