Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTyler Lockett Will Benefit from a Pass-Heavy Offense
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett is coming off of back-to-back weeks with seven targets, and has shown major play-making potential all season long.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTed Ginn Jr Is a Touchdown Machine
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's hard to imagine a season where Ted Ginn Jr. is a viable starter, but that's where we're at right now.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoA Heavy Workload Is Keeping Kamar Aiken Relevant
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kamar Aiken continues to find a strong floor every week, despite the QB carousel in Baltimore right now.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoMarkus Wheaton Is a Big-Play Threat
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Over the last three weeks, Wheaton has managed to find a real role in this offense between the massive space created by Martavis Bryant and Antonio Brown.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoConsider Willie Snead as Your FLEX
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Willie Snead's stock dropped far after a string of inconsistency, but he has a good shot at providing value two weeks in a row.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTyrod Taylor's Ceiling Remains High
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor has been written about plenty this year, so all that's left to say is that he's got the Redskins and Cowboys in his final two games.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's still a difficult split happening between James White and Brandon Bolden, and despite Bolden out-touching White 14 to 1 on the ground, it's White that's showing more significant fantasy value.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoAdd Denard Robinson for Your Fantasy Playoffs
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: T.J. Yeldon left week 14 with a left knee sprain and in his place came Denard Robinson.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTim Hightower a High Pickup Priority
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Had the Mark Ingram news been made sooner, Hightower would've been on last weeks list.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoSeattle Keeps Looking Doug Baldwin's Way And So Should You
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 57% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: So Doug Baldwin might actually be real now.

On Sunday he caught five-of-seven targets for 94 […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoRichard Rodgers Answering Prayers at TE?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Does the hail mary force Rodgers (the QB) to feed Rodgers (the TE)? We really don't know.
