Week 4 Deeper PPR Waiver Wire Pickups

Week 4 brings to us the first bye week of the season, as the Eagles and Packers will be binge-watching Netflix's Luke Cage, premiering this Friday. Okay, maybe I'm projecting as that will be how I spent my non-parenting hours this weekend, but the possibility still exists. Much like this bye week open up some […]

The All Stats A Salad boys--RotoBaller's Tony Peters and Ben Hamren-- are back with another installment of The Cut List. The NFL is a fiercely competitive place to be a part of and play within.

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 24 (American League)

With the fantasy season coming to a close, the waiver wire for many a league is in the middle of a dry spell. But just because the well is low on water doesn't mean our rosters don't thirst for fresh innings and at-bats. Below are some names to consider to help fill some holes between […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most owners are rolling out the defense they drafted for Week 1, but if for some reason that pick doesn't excite, the Giants are a safe bet not to come up empty-handed against the Cowboys.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Victor Cruz hasn't played in the NFL since 2014, which doesn't bode well for his ability to impact a fantasy football team anytime soon.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues, 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With original starter Teddy Bridgewater on the injured reserve, the Vikings’ quarterback job should eventually belong to Sam Bradford— Shaun Hill is expected to start Week 1.
