Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 6-8 as RB3 Current ADP: 106 STD, 68 PPR ANALYSIS: While Rashad Jennings has decent value, his age and injury history are concerns. Shane Vereen, his backfield partner, on the other hand, should provide solid value of his own as he racks up receptions. Vereen is strong and agile enough to get open […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as Low-End QB1 CURRENT ADP: 84 STD ANALYSIS: The stage is set for Eli Manning to post top-five QB numbers in 2015. Last season, Manning finished in the top 10 among fantasy quarterbacks despite injuries to then-top WR Victor Cruz and big free agent acquisition Geoff Schwartz, among others. Manning owns one of […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Round 7 as RB3 Current ADP: 96 STD, 68 PPR ANALYSIS: With Rashad Jennings suffering an injury every year of his career and Andre Williams‘ complete lack of passing game ability, the Giants added Shane Vereen in free agency. Running a west coast passing offense, a pass catching running back like Vereen becomes an […]

Running Back Sleepers You Need to Know in 2015

Is there any position in fantasy where a sleeper pays off more than at running back? While all your league-mates are scrambling to reach and overpay for their first and second running back, those who employ more value based draft strategies feed off of their leagues impatience and are rewarded with strong players at both wide receiver […]

Is Eli Manning Ready to Become an Elite Fantasy QB in 2015?

While Eli Manning is criminally underrated year after year, you should be smarter than to pass on Eli in 2015. The stage is set for Eli to post top-5 QB numbers and Eli has never floundered on a big stage. If your interpretation of Eli’s fantasy value is still dictated by his 27-interception campaign, perhaps […]

Where Should You Draft Odell Beckham in 2015?

I’ll be targeting Odell Beckham early in drafts this year and there’s no reason that you shouldn’t be as well. Yahoo! ranks Beckham as the 10th overall player on the board but I don’t necessarily see him going in a ton of first rounds nor will I be drafting him with my first round pick. Second round? […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS:  With all the preseason buzz about Rueben Randle this season it's easy to call him a 'bust' on many levels.  Throughout the season Randle has disappointed consistently with few highlights and fewer TDs.  However, in week 16 Randle finally put together a game that […]

New York Giants (DEF, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 10+ Leagues - Week 16 Streaming Option Owned in 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's Week 16 RotoBallers and the only thing we care about right now is bringing home a championship, and hopefully the mozzarella!

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Admittedly I’m breaking my own rule of 50% or under here, but just by a little bit. I’m also going to level you with guys: I could list a bunch of fringe players for you to go chasing, but considering the time of the year, we know who is or […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rashad Jennings left last week's game with an injury, and hasn't practiced yet this week. It's looking more and more likely that he won't suit up for this week's game versus the Tennessee Titans, especially given that the Giants signed Chris Ogbonnaya as an insurance running […]

New York Giants (DST, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues for Week 13 OWNED IN:  22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: To date, the Giants have played just two teams not currently in serious playoff contention, the Texans and the Redskins.

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This week I’ll continue the recommendation of Larry Donnell as he continues to produce decently.  The past 2 weeks Donnell has averaged (6.5 STD or 12.5 PPR) fantasy points.  This week Donnell has a nice matchup vs the Seahawks (7th most points […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Owned in 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This week, my number one tight end recommendation off the waiver wire is Larry Donnell.  He's coming off a bye week and should be refreshed.  With that extra rest, Donnell will be playing a Colts defense that allowed 112 yards and a TD to Heath Miller last week.  Donnell […]

Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR / Standard Leagues Owned in 40% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Odell Beckham broke out in Week 7 with a pair of touchdowns, although it was on only four catches for 35 yards. While the yardage and reception numbers aren’t eye-popping, the fact that Eli was looking for him in the endzone is […]

Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 34% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Beckham will see a significant increase in targets, particularly in the slot, with Victor Cruz out for the season. To be fair, Eli and the Giants offense as a whole looked like garbage in Week 6, but I […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues 33% owned in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: One of our writers Rek outlined the waiver wire pickup of Andre Williams last week here as one of his running back sleepers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues 20% owned in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Beckham made his first start of the season on Sunday after spending the first four weeks recovering from a major hamstring injury.

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Anyone who picked up Eli vs. the Redskins in Week 4 knows they might have gotten a career fantasy performance. His 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD were a thing to behold.  While we don’t expect him to […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team Leagues 33% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Make no mistake, Rashad Jennings is still the workhorse for this Giants offense. The main reason that Andre Williams got as many carries as he did Thursday night was that the game was an absolute blowout for the Giants, and because the Giants are doing their best to […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues (PPR, Standard) Owned in 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who haven't noticed, the New York Giants' offensive line is struggling this season with 7 sacks allowed.

Detroit Lions (DEF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues (for Week 1) 14% owned in Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: My #1 streaming option for the first week of the season is the Detroit Lions against the questionable Giants offense.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~125  (Current ADP: 136, RB: 45) ANALYSIS:  Last season Andre Williams lead all of college football with over 2,000 yards rushing making him the 16th player to achieve this accomplishment in NCAA history.  As we all know college football success does not always translate to the NFL but it is a nice appetizer. […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 (Current ADP: 127, WR42) ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle is entering the 2014 NFL season as the second wide out for the New York Giants with rookie Odell Beckham presumably winning the slot role. Randle, standing at 6'4, is a big boy who accumulated 611 yards on 41 catches with six receptions going for touchdowns […]
