Golden Tate (WR, DET) - Week 4 Lineup Booms
Golden Tate deserves some attention here heading in Week 4. Everyone knows the Seahawks defense is good, but they've been susceptible to small wide receivers since the start of the Legion of Boom era. Golden Tate not only fits that archetype, but also has the added bonus of emotional investment as he returns to face his […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoSan Diego Chargers (DEF, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Week 4 Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This isn't anyone's first choice as far as defenses go, but the Cleveland Browns aren't very good. With Josh McCown as the starter, the Cleveland Browns are basically a time bomb for a three interception game. The Chargers have one of the most underrated (and sort of underperforming) […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoJordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't know if Reed has just been ignored due to his heavy injury history, but he's always shown that when he's on the field he will produce. Well, that's what's been happening the last three weeks. Reed has yet to have a game under eight […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoRishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There's always a great feeling that comes from picking a player with less than 5% ownership, watching them explode the following week, and then being able to write about that player again. After a six catch 115 yard game against Jacksonville, Matthews punched in another six […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoMarvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team / All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes you see a player on the waiver wire and you go, wait, what? What are they doing there? Marvin Jones is one of those players. Somehow he has less ownership than Rueben Randle, despite already breaking out just over a year […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoThomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: For the first time in a long, long time - here is a Seahawks running back that has received a lot of positive off-season hype, and might actually pay off. Thomas Rawls was a UDFA that the Seahawks coaches just would not stop talking about over […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoDerek Carr (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team / All Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Derek Carr started the season poorly with an injury in Week 1 that led to his Raiders getting completely romped by the Bengals. Three weeks in and that's a game of the past, with Carr demoralizing what should have been a dominant Ravens defense, […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, I'm going to keep talking about Taylor until his ownership beats 50%. This man is a QB1 right now. He's the 3rd highest scoring QB this week (at time of writing) after finishing last week as the 6th highest scoring. The only leagues where he even has […]

The Cardinals dismantled the 49ers hopes and dreams, while the Bills rebounded from a big loss against the Patriots while sticking it to the Dolphins.

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoCrockett Gilmore (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After the drafting of Maxx Williams, it seemed like the TE spot was settled in to a "no value" zone - there hasn't been a rookie TE with fantasy value for a long, long time. Suddenly, here comes Crockett Gilmore stealing the starting […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoRishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There was a lot of talk about this offense entering the season - from how great the weapons looked, to Tannehill's continuing development. Within this large pool of receivers, one of the players that got lost in the mix was Rishard Matthews. […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoJames Starks (RB, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The severity of Eddie Lacy's injury is not fully known right now - but assuming he does miss any time at all, Starks becomes a must own. You can't not take the chance on a running back in an Aaron Rodgers offense, even if […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoNew York Giants (DEF, NYG) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add as Week 3 Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington has been surprisingly not terrible since the start of the season. But it is, at it's heart, an incredibly under-staffed offense with a very turnover prone QB. Kirk Cousins has only been able to stay interception free in five of the 17 games he's […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTravis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I wanted to ignore Travis Benjamin's Week 1 as much as anyone. A "random" Cleveland Browns receiver catching a single deep pass for a touchdown? Yeah, whatever. Then suddenly he scored another one on the Titans. And then a third. Travis Benjamin finished his […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoWeek 3 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Three The second Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Somehow the Jaguars beat the up and coming Dolphins prompting Miami fans to call for the axing of another head coach, and Peyton reminded us that he doesn't need a good arm to make plays. And the best part […]

Edward Gorelik 9 years agoDion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Standard / 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This isn't a surprising name at all. Dion Lewis took 15 carries for 69 yards and had 4 catches for 51 yards against the Steelers defense on Thursday night, where he looked quick, agile, and impressive. That's not to say […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoMarcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mariota is a must own right now. Although he only took 16 passes on Sunday, those passes hit their mark with a 209 yard and 4 touchdown game. Mariota is unlikely to ever repeat that kind of efficiency again this season, but showing […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTennessee Titans (DEF, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues / Week Two Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's amazing that this defense dismantled the Bucs the way did it. Sure, some of it had to do with Jameis Winston's rookie growing pains, but this team shouldn't have been that dominant. Maybe having Dick LeBeau working on your […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoJordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues / All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It was just a week of surprising tight end performances, and of them all the least surprising is Jordan Reed. We all already knew about his talent - he's shown it every single time he's been on the field. Now with a […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoLadarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It finally happened. The day everyone hoped for arrived as Ladarius Green caught 5 catches for 74 yards and a touchdown. Suddenly, the mega athlete might be ready to take the next step to become a major fantasy contributor. Gates will remain out for the next three […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoDonte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With T.Y. Hilton injured, and an unknown status for Week 2, Moncrief becomes the most obvious wide receiver add in fantasy leagues this week. Being moved up to #2 in the Colts offense is a huge boost, despite what it looked like this week against a […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoJames Jones (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I can't believe more people didn't jump on the opportunity to own James Jones as soon as he was re-signed to the Packers. You had to know that their #3 WR spot wasn't settled. You had to know that Davante Adams hasn't proved to […]
Edward Gorelik 9 years agoTyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add as Streamer or QB2 for Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: On the exact opposite spectrum from Palmer, we have the unknown of Tyrod Taylor. Coming into this week, there was a lot of fantasy speculation as to what Tyrod can do this season. Like Palmer, he's surrounded by a strong […]
