Danny Amendola's Role Growing?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I don't believe any notion that Amendola is breaking out all over again but the situation might be a lot more positive than we're assuming. Julian Edelman is hurting with drops, Dion Lewis is injured and may continue to stay injured, and […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 7: The Early Games

As we approach the halfway mark of the fantasy football season, it's a great time to think about how unpredictable this year has been. Just think of people who drafted Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson, Alfred Morris, Melvin Gordon, Mike Evans, Eddie Lacy or Jimmy Graham with one of their first four picks. How about people […]

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 […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids (Week 7)

Last week was not the greatest week with the Titans getting blown out and Browns losing in overtime to the Broncos. Week 7 does not get any easier with a couple tough divisional matches. The Bengals, Broncos, Bears, and Packers are on their bye. For those of you unfamiliar with survivor pools it’s very simple; […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep 12 Team Leagues; FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 OWNED IN: 39% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon LaFell is eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 7, and while that's a tough draw against the Jets, you are going to want to get ahead of the curve on this one […]

Keep an Eye on Keshawn Martin in Deep Leagues

New England Patriots wide receiver Keshawn Martin is worth keeping an eye on in deep fantasy football leagues. The 25-year-old former fourth round draft pick was on the team's active roster in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, former second round draft pick Aaron Dobson was a healthy scratch. Martin caught two balls for […]

Rob Gronkowski Eyes Indianapolis for Another Big Performance

In the NFL, it’s nearly impossible to put up jaw-dropping numbers each and every week. That said, throughout the course of Rob Gronkowski’s six-season career, when not injured, he’s managed to do just that. Seriously, with a quarter of the NFL’s regular season having come and gone, the talented tight end is on pace to […]

Dion Lewis: Here to Stay

Dion Lewis had another stellar game for the New England Patriots, turning 11 targets into eight receptions into 59 yards and an amazing Houdini-like touchdown, with six carries for 34 yards (5.6 YPC). Lewis continues to show that he is an elusive talent, making four Cowboys' defenders miss on his way into the end zone […]

Week 5 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Last week was our first journey into the bye weeks, with the Pats and Titans getting some rest. But this week, we have four teams sitting out (Dolphins, Jets, Vikings, and Panthers). This is causing some fantasy owners to dig a little deeper for start/bench decisions and plug and play options. I am here to try […]

Patriots Lock Up Dion Lewis Through 2017

Dion Lewis has been a pleasant surprise for the New England Patriots and fantasy football owners. Rarely does Bill Belichick enter contract negotiations with players during the season, but he made an exception for Lewis. The Patriots and Lewis agreed to a two-year contract extension, worth $4.4 million, which will keep the running back in […]

Shane Vereen a Must Start? May Line Up As WR vs. Bills

New York Giants RB Shane Vereen may spend some time lining up as a wide receiver against the Buffalo Bills. The Giants will once again be without WR Victor Cruz as his calf injury will keep him out of the important Week 4 game. New York offense coordinator Ben McAdoo said "It's all hands on […]

LeGarrette Blount (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Risers

Yes, it took an absolute massacre for Blount to really see the field over Dion Lewis (who still looks good out there), but this is still a huge step up from the questions raised after a no show in Week 2. While it appears to be the Dion show first, Blount showed that is still […]

Patriots Release Potential PPR Gold Travaris Cadet

With Dion Lewis having a spectacular start to the season, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have decided they could afford to cut ties with Travaris Cadet. It will be very interesting to see where Cadet lands. If he lands in the right spot, he may be worth a roster spot, eventually PPR leagues. […]

Week 3 Boom/Bust Candidates for Early Games

By now you're likely starting to get a feel for your team, but as the first two weeks have shown, just about everything we think we know is wrong. DeMarco Murray and Andrew Luck have been disappointing, Alfred Morris is being replaced, Jimmy Graham is barely being targeted, Peyton Manning can't throw anymore and Adrian […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

Among the biggest surprises thus far in 2015, Lewis is in the top-5 of fantasy RBs and has emerged as a legitimate force in the Patriots backfield. That may not last forever, though. Lewis saw his carries drop from 15 in Week 1 to only seven in Week 2. Although he managed enough elsewhere to […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 3: Risers and Fallers From Week 2

Two weeks are now in the books, and there’s more than enough to react to. Most importantly, keep your wits about you--look at who each team has gone against and who they’re about to face. For instance, Lamar Miller is a pretty clear “faller” due to his performance and now an injury, but he gets […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 3: Josh Robinson, Rishard Matthews, Scott Chandler

Week 2 is the in books and a lot of strange things have happened already. DeMarco Murray, an early-round pick, has rushed for only 11 yards this season. Meanwhile, Travis Benjamin, who went mostly undrafted, has three receiving TDs on only six receptions. It may be time to get some sleepers on your roster as […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Risers

If you’ve had Dion Lewis these first two weeks, you are feeling good. There’s still that uneasiness though, because it’s Bill Belichick. The Patriots rolled out another pass-heavy game plan against the Bills in Week 2, and even though LeGarrette Blount was activated from his one-game suspension, he barely saw the field. Dion Lewis was THE […]

Scott Chandler (TE, NE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This is another risky pick heading into Week 3. Chandler, who was once the starting tight end for the Buffalo Bills, has the opportunity to have a strong game against the Jaguars this weekend. Chandler has already found the endzone this season and, while he […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With LeGarrette Blount suspended and Jonas Gray sent to the waiver wire at the end of the preseason, Lewis looked great in Week 1 against the Steelers, contributing as both a rusher (69 yards) and receiver (51 yards) in his first action since the Eagles […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Like Tyrod Taylor, Dion Lewis was already in my pickups list last week going from 8% ownership to 32%. That's not enough for a guy in his situation. It's already been made clear that Dion Lewis will be the receiving back on this team (6 […]
