Owned in 0% of Fleaflicker leagues With Marqise Lee out, Bryan Walters has been seeing the field more and Blake Bortles has been on laser point with his throws. Walters played only 12 out of 67 total snaps in Week 1, but in Weeks 3, 4, and 5 he has been in on 93 snaps out of a total […]

Are These Players On The Verge Of Becoming Fantasy Relevant?

Hello RotoBallers, today I will be discussing three under-the-radar NFL players and their fantasy football potential for the 2015 season.

Below I will be discussing a veteran, a second-year pro, and a […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell doesn't have to compete with another tight end for Eli Manning's affection. Donnell has been a part of 274 snaps for the Giants this season, which is 77.2% of the Giants' offensive snaps. Donnell averages six targets a game […]

Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues. OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Since Josh McCown began starting for the Browns, he has quietly been launching an aerial assault for the Cleveland offense. In weeks three, four, and five, McCown has accumulated a fantastic 68% completion percentage, 1,154 total passing yards (an average of 385 […]

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Breakout Rookie Candidates?

Duke Johnson had a rough start to the year after a lot of preseason hype. In the first three weeks of the season, he had 23 carries for just 68 yards. However, it seems that the Browns coaches learned something important recently: Johnson can catch the football, very well. In Week Three, Johnson had six […]

Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Breakout Rookie Candidates?

Sammie Coates, out of the University of Auburn, is a little bit more of a diamond buried deep in the rough. Coates has only been in two games, and in the first game he was targeted zero times against the Rams. However, under the tutelage of the new starting quarterback, veteran Mike Vick, Coates saw two […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Breakout Rookie Candidates?

Jamison Crowder has received very little love and attention, maybe because he played his college football at Duke? In his first two weeks of play, Crowder received only two targets for just seven yards. In the last two weeks however, Kirk Cousins' trust in Crowder, and therefore Crowder's production, has skyrocketed. In Week Three, Crowder […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cameron Artis-Payne was the Panthers' 5th round selection out of the University of Auburn, yet people were already talking about his potential impact for fantasy football managers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues as QB2 OWNED IN: 12% of fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Nick Foles has yet to throw for more than 297 yards in a game so far this season (which occurred against Seattle in the season opener). However, he is keeping all of the points he earns. Foles owns a […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues. OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker leagues. ANALYSIS: At 6'5'' and 237 pounds, Dorial Green-Beckham is a big-body wide receiver whose potential and upside are almost as impressive as his vertical leap. Savvy fantasy football owners will notice that his performance has been trending up in every week. In Week 1, Beckham […]

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues OWNED IN: 12% of fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Regardless of whether Johnny Manziel  or Josh McCown is starting for the Browns, Travis Benjamin is a great choice for PPR and standard leagues.

Michael Vick (QB, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues/2-QB leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: This may seem like a peculiar waiver wire pickup, but hear me out. Ben Roethlisberger is out at least 4-6 weeks with an MCL sprain, which opens a window of opportunity for Vick. He will have a variety of offensive weapons to […]

Maxx Williams (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Maxx Williams is the talented rookie tight end who many believed was drafted by the Ravens for offensive depth. However, with Crockett Gilmore ruled out for Thursday Night Football against the Steelers, Maxx Williams will be provided with the opportunity to […]
