Brandon Bolden: Late Season Lottery Ticket

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Bolden is part of the New England backfield that really doesn’t have much of an identity right now. The Patriots are leaning hard on the arm of Tom Brady in the wake of the multitude of injuries that New […]

Week 13 Deeper Sleepers - Playoff Drive: Dontrelle Inman, Scott Chandler, Brock Osweiler and More

Week 13 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Scott Chandler, Kyle Rudolph and Coby Fleener

Week 12 was the most disastrous week for tight ends in the NFL this season. The body count was sky-high and littered with elite names.  Seattle’s Jimmy Graham is out for the season with a knee injury,  New England's Rob Gronkowski is week-to-week with his own knee injury according to ESPN and Cincinnati’s Tyler Eifert’s status is unknown […]

Week 13 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

"Just win baby." Famous words from ex Oakland Raiders owner, Al Davis. Those words ring true for fantasy owners now more than ever.

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 13

Week 12 saw one big underdog, the Bears, take down the Packers on Thanksgiving night. Most of the favorites won on Sunday, excluding the Patriots and Giants. The 49ers kept their game against Arizona much closer than expected, and have looked better recently (read more below). Thank you NFL for finally giving us more than […]

Could Scott Chandler BE a Better TE Pickup?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chandler hasn't been that great for the Patriots outside of a few plays here and there, but if Gronk should miss any time- those targets will have to go to someone. It's looking less and less like Gronk's injury is going to […]

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 […]

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 […]

James White Got Green Light on Monday Night

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The slew of injuries continue for the New England Patriots. Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson went down for the Pats on Monday and their receiving corps is running very thin. The Patriots are the embodiment of the "next man up" mentality though, […]

Week 11 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Mark Sanchez, Ronnie Hillman, Zach Ertz, & More!

Week 11 is here and ready to make dreams come true. There aren't any games this week that have projected point totals of over 50 points. The closest we've got is the 49.5 total that the Detroit-Oakland game is offering. This doesn't mean that there isn't cheaper fun to be had though. There is still plenty […]

Be Patient with James White

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We all knew James White wouldn't be as good as Dion Lewis, but the pedestrian outing on Sunday afternoon had to be cause for concern for his fantasy owners. Let's take a closer look at why James White wasn't a factor […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 11: Amendola, Williams, Crowder and More

Ah, fantasy football. Don't you just love it? Sometimes you can do all the research in the world, study matchups for hours, look at who's hot or cold and who's injured, when really the player you were looking for was sitting on the waiver wire, just waiting to be claimed. Case in point, let's look […]

Week 11 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Draughn, Bell and McCluster

Week 11 doesn't seem very special, but there is some significance this season. This week is the final week of bye weeks with the Giants, Saints, Steelers, and Browns all taking the week to rest up for the season's stretch run. It also marks the beginning of the homestretch for most regular season's in fantasy […]

Danny Amendola Steps into Bigger Role

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Danny Amendola is a far cry from Julian Edelman, but he's the only player on the Patriots who is capable of replacing that role. While there's still the chance he just goes on the back-burner behind Rob Gronkowski and Brandon LaFell, Amendola is […]

Week 10 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Blake Bortles, Theo Riddick, Rueben Randle & More!

Here we go, into the double digit weeks already. Week 10 is here and ready to make dreams come true. We're here because there is plenty of value calling far down on the player lists in DraftKings' player pool. There are a few big games this week with high projected point totals that we'll want […]

Brandon LaFell's Ceiling is Too High to Ignore

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I hate that I'm endorsing Brandon LaFell, but I have to. Despite career-long drop issues, the Patriots gave LaFell a chance when they signed him in 2014 and he has been surprisingly effective even though his drop issues have not subsided. Tom Brady […]

BALLER MOVE: Add James White in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: (White) 19% Owned on Fleaflicker / (Bolden) 19% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dion Lewis is currently undergoing an MRI for what's being called a "loose ACL", whatever that means.

Odell Beckham, Julian Edelman, Travis Benjamin: Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?

Similar to this week's running backs piece, it's also become increasingly difficult to identify star wide receivers who are struggling at this point in the season. That leaves us with some odd selections for our Warning Signals piece heading into Week 8. You're going to see two names that don't exactly scream panic and one […]

Brandon LaFell Hopes to Knock Rust Off

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: That was certainly an inauspicious start to Brandon LaFell's 2015 season on Sunday. In fairness, he was very rusty and he did not have an easy matchup against the Jets. That being said, his quarterback is still Tom Brady, and I'm buying […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 8: Brandon LaFell, Michael Crabtree, Michael Floyd and More

Week 7 gave us plenty of waiver wire options at wide receiver, but this week, it may be more about picking through your free agent list and finding which of the players below are actually available. Unlike many other weeks, when we can find players who are owned in less than 30 percent of leagues, […]
