Add Charles Sims Off The Waiver Wire?

It's unfortunate that Doug Martin had such a good game on Sunday, because I was ready to claim Sims as a potential breakout candidate with the potential of taking the majority timeshare of the Tampa Bay backfield job. However, Martin's day of 106 rushing yards with a touchdown sets back Sims' march towards the top of […...

Is Darren McFadden A Priority Waiver Wire Add?

Normally we don't list players who are owned at more than a 50% clip, but I'm considering McFadden as an exception. McFadden has mostly acted as the third running back in the Dallas system this year, clearly taking a back seat to Joseph Randle on the early downs and to Lance Dunbar on the passing […...

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I put Andrews in my "Wait and See" section in Week 4, not because I didn't think he was worthy of a pickup, but more-so because the Titans were on a bye and I wanted to see if they made a move during their […...

Ronnie Hillman Needs To Be Added In All Leagues

We've heard about Hillman's big play potential since he entered the league, but when you look at his game log for the past three seasons you would never know about it. Long runs of 31, 19, and 37 yards from 2012-14 respectively, Hillman just hasn't broken off the big one very often/ever. That all changed […...

Why Duke Johnson Should Be Added In All Leagues

Two weeks ago, I tried to trade James Starks to the Eddie Lacy owner while Lacy was very questionable for his Monday Night matchup with the Chiefs. In return I asked for Duke Johnson. A fair trade price in my opinion, considering this teams RB situation. They shot me down and I didn't up my […...

Week 5 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

It's time to come clean. Time for a little honesty around here. Time to pay the piper if you will. Up until this week, up until the writing of this very column, I haven't been particularly excited about many running back waiver wire adds so far this season. My "Cream of the Crop" adds in […...

Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

Sample size, sample size, sample size. You hear fantasy pundits mutter this phrase constantly during the early weeks of the season. What exactly does it mean though? Simply put, having a small sample size means that we don't have enough information to make accurate predictions about a player's future performance. For running backs, this often […...

Chris Polk (RB, HOU) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I think Polk will act as the lead back on Sunday for Houston who looks to again be without Arian Foster. This is a team that has to get something going on the ground, because Ryan Mallett is certainly not going to be carrying them through the air. So far it's been a pretty even split […...

Devin Funchess (WR, CAR) - Sneaky Week 3 Adds

A fantasy darling in the offseason after the Kelvin Benjamin injury, it's time for Funchess to show a sign of being able to be a usable receiver, or we may need to forget his name for the rest of the season. He's done virtually nothing up to this point, but head coach Ron Rivera said […...

9 years ago

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote Beasley up here last week, and I'm doing so again. Even after the four catch for 14 yard day against the Eagles in Week 2, I'm a believer. Listen - Dez Bryant is out, Jason Witten is hurt, and Brandon Weeden is going to need to hit some short quick hitting routes to get in a […...

9 years ago

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote up McCluster earlier in the week, calling him a hail mary play for Week 3. I still feel the same about McCluster - he is a boom or bust candidate that likely depends on hitting a big play. But I love McCluster's talent, and it's just a matter of whether or not he […...

Beating the Week Three Waiver Wire: Last Minute Adds

Welcome to Week 3 of the season RotoBallers. Every week we analyze, strategize, and materialize the best lineup for Sunday. Most of that work is already finished. You had better already moved Le'Veon back into your starting lineup. You should have already picked up Starks to protect your Lacy investment, or to dangle him in front […...

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Ownership: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dexter McCluster is not going to be a week-in, week-out fantasy starter at any point this year, but he has the ability to bust a big play out of the backfield or slot, or on special teams, and is coming off a week where […...

Week 3 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

Ohhhhh injuries!!! It's that time of year, already. I'll admit it, the mind of a fantasy football owner is sick. I don't think anyone actually wants NFL players to get hurt - but if you don't think fantasy owners see the opportunity immediately after someone goes down, you're thinking too highly or your league mates. […...

Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Week 1 belonged to the tight ends, as 13 players at the position racked up double digit fantasy points. Green was one of those players, getting targeted early and often by Philip Rivers, and finishing with five catches for 74 yards and a TD. Green has […...

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Will the new Marques Colston please stand up? Coleman is the new Colston in New Orleans, and while I think many saw this coming, few predicted that it would happen this quickly. Coleman already looked like the new Colston, racking up seven targets and converting those […...

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: With the Dez Bryan injury, Dallas is going to have to find new receivers to throw to. In the previous two seasons, Beasley has turned 103 total targets into 76 catches for 788 yards and six TDs. On a per target basis, that equates to […...

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: This is a truly desperate play, but with Dez Bryant out Dallas is going to have to find other ways to move the ball through the air. They did this very effectively last week, by using Dunbar as a receiver out of the backfield against the […...

Karlos Williams (RB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues as Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Did anyone see what DeAngelo Williams, the 32 year-old "washed up" running back did last week against the Patriots? In case you missed it, DeAngelo went for 132 total yards on 28 touches. This week it's another Williams RB that could go off against […...

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add as Streamer or QB2 for Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor racked up 195 yards passing, and a sweet deep ball TD to Percy Harvin, in the Bill thumping of the Colts in Week 1. Perhaps more importantly, Taylor was able to rack up 41 yards on the ground making him […...

Beating the Week Two Waiver Wire: Last Minute Adds

Welcome to Week 2 of the season RotoBallers. The fantasy football season is basically 17 week-long cycles where you go through a process of trying to create a team with the best chance to win for the week and for the season. Generally, the week goes something like this; Sunday you get up and indulge […...

Buck Allen (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- or 16-Team Leagues Ownership: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Javorius Allen, also known as "Buck," solidified himself as Justin Forsett's backup in Week 1. Allen was given nine carries, which he turned into 30 yards against the Broncos' tough run defense. Lorenzo Taliaferro has yet to return from injury, so at least […...

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues Ownership: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most people view Dion Lewis as a one-week fill in for LeGarrette Blount, but there could be more potential there. Lewis looks to be the clear choice to take over the Patriots' pass-catching-back role, which has the potential to be very productive. Lewis racked […...

Karlos Williams (RB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In Deeper Leagues as Handcuff OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: One thing that became clear on Sunday is that Karlos Williams, not Bryce Brown, is the clear backup to LeSean McCoy. The other thing that became clear is that Karlos Williams has some real talent too. In fact, from what […...

Chris Johnson (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues or Deeper OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It makes me nauseous just writing his name down because he has burned me so many times in the past, but the fact is that Andre Ellington has a PCL sprain (technically he hasn't been ruled out for week […...

Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I actually wrote about Robinson last week, so please see my thought process here, but after Week 1 I'm only more sure of myself, and this pick. The great thing about Robinson is he has two routes to playing time as he is […...

Benny Cunningham (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12 Team Or Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Cunningham was the lead dog on Sunday against the vaunted Seattle Seahawks defense. I actually recommended Cunningham in my weekly Last Minute Adds piece on Saturday and it payed off nicely for those who picked him up. Cunningham showed […...

Week 2 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 1 in finally in the books and boy was it a good one. We got plenty of great performances out of the top players in the league (as I'm writing this another stud, Julio Jones, is absolutely going off on Monday Night Football). And then there were some not so great performances out of […...
