Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues / 14 Team Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re in a PPR league and Sims is still out there, or someone dropped him due to the Buccaneers’ bye week, you should definitely scoop him up. The success of Doug Martin so far […]

Ryan Mathews (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 77% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While owning Ryan Mathews has quite the “handcuffy” feel to it, he still has put forward two weeks out of six that would absolutely warrant playing him. One out of three isn’t preferable, but if you’re in a league with a […]

Darren McFadden (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: McFadden’s ownership has jumped from 35% to 56% since last week, but if any of you 44% are in PPR leagues, you need to get McFadden on your team. All of Lance Dunbar’s passing down work is now McFadden’s to […]

Christine Michael Needs To Be Owned In All Fantasy Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Christine Michael is now getting the opportunity to be the starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys. If you are a running back in the NFL, Dallas is a pretty ideal situation. The Cowboys currently have the second-highest-rated run-blocking offensive line in the […]

Running Backs Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 7

It's no secret that the running back position has been a roller coaster ride thus far. That shouldn't even come as a real surprise anymore as it seems like we go through this every year between highly valued backs falling off and fresh faces breaking out. Taking that idea one step further, it also feels […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 7: Risers and Fallers From Week 6

Week 6 is in the books and we have further confirmation that Devonta Freeman is good, DeAndre Hopkins is really good, and Andy Dalton deserves to be taken seriously. We're getting awfully close to the midway point in the season, and it's time to really look at some recent trends and determine how legitimate they are. […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers for Week 7: Brandon Oliver, Stefon Diggs, Crockett Gillmore

Six weeks are in the books and a trend has already appeared in my weekly picks. It appears that the majority of my picks decide to break out a couple weeks after I select them as my deep sleeper for a particular week. For instance, in Week 1, Benjamin Watson was selected as a potential […]

EPL Matchday Nine: Match Of The Week Review

Newcastle United 6-2 Norwich City Wijnaldum Scores Four – Magpies Blowout the Canaries for First Victory of the Season Sunday, October 18th @ St. James’ Park Sunday is usually a day of rest – a sentiment the defenses certainly put into practice at St. James’ Park this past weekend. Despite being the only game on […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading. We saw Jeremy Maclin (concussion), Keenan Allen (hip), Sammy Watkins (ankle), Allen Robinson (knee), and others leave their games early. This meant […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Overview: James Starks, Christine Michael & More

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Seven The sixth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Carolina did what few have been able to do in recent years and completed a comeback win against the Seahawks in their own stadium, while the Chargers fell just short of stopping the Packers win streak. And there's still […]

Week 7 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

"What the hell is going on out here?" I have never felt more like Vince Lombardi at the time of this famous quote than I do this week. Eddie Lacy isn't the guy? Joseph Randle has fumbled his way out of the lead role? C.J. Anderson continues to stink and Devonta Freeman is the best […]

Week 7 Deeper Sleepers: Time to Take Stefon Diggs Seriously

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Last week resulted in mixed success for those that followed along. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ben Watson, and Minnesota D/ST were excellent plays, while Willie Snead had a mediocre game and DeVante Parker was invisible (again). […]

Could James Starks Really Spell Eddie Lacy?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks was an own-able commodity as Eddie Lacy's handcuff, but no one saw Starks as a threat to steal playing time without a major injury to Lacy. Starks just went off for 117 total yards and two touchdowns in Week 6, and […]

Theo Riddick Has Been Detroit's Most Reliable Back

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues, Deep Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Theo Riddick is averaging 7.2 fantasy points per game, most of which have come from the passing game. He has 278 receiving yards, which is third in the league among running backs-- trailing only Danny Woodhead and Devonta Freeman. With teammates Joique Bell, […]

Christine Michael Looks to Spark Dallas Run Game

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Over the bye week, the Dallas Cowboys gave Christine Michael a look with the first team offense and all signs are pointing to something positive. They reportedly haven't been happy with Randle's output as the starter and want to see if the uber-athlete […]

Brandon Oliver the Back to Own in San Diego?

BALLER MOVE: Add as a Deep League Option OWNED IN: 8% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Melvin Gordon has had a rough start to his career. Suffering from indecisiveness and fumbles, he's going to take his time coming into his own in the NFL. However, as surprising as it was that the Chargers moved up to […]

James Starks a Must-Add This Week & Beyond

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Even without this big game from Starks, only 20% ownership is insanely low for the handcuff of a RB that plays on one of the best offenses in the NFL. He's literally one injury away from being an RB1. Week 6 was […]

Jonathan Stewart Finally Has His Breakout Game

Prior to today, this season has been a disaster for Jonathan Stewart owners . The University of Oregon product, who was thought by many to be an RB1, bellcow-type back this year with the departure of DeAngelo Williams, has grossly underperformed this season, causing some owners to bench or cut him. Today though, the Carolina Panthers' back changed his […]

Week 6 Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Start 'em, Sit 'em

Monday Night Matchups Analysis Players We Love Josh Huff, WR, Eagles - Huff will be getting the bump up across the board with Nelson Agholor out. Huff has played sparingly this year with only eight receptions for 117 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Giants are still one of the leagues worst pass defenses and are […]

Each week of the NFL season, we will be breaking down each of the NFL matchups and providing you with some fantasy football advice and lineup recommendations based on matchups that we love, matchups that we hate, […]

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]

Week 6 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options. Below are my Week 6 lineup picks for players that can be booms and […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 6: The Early Games

It’s hard to believe that it’s already Week 6 and the NFL season is nearly a third of the way over. The fantasy football season is nearly halfway over, with the majority of postseasons beginning on Week 13 or 14. Whether you’re 0-5, 5-0, or anywhere in between at this point, you still have a […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-14 team leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Charles Sims was a much-hyped pre-draft sleeper in the Buccaneers backfield, even though he was always considered a backup to incumbent starter Doug Martin. There was always a sneaking suspicion that Sims, with his next-level talent, would overtake an inconsistent Martin in the depth […]
