Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco had a nice, post-bye effort against Pittsburgh in Week 9, throwing for 241 yards and a score. Perhaps most importantly, his shoulder didn’t seem to be giving him any issues. In Week 10, Flacco should hit it big against the […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith may have missed Week 9 with a concussion, but as of now it looks as though he’ll be ready to go for Week 10. Nick Foles filled in admirably against Jacksonville, but his very Alex Smith-ian 20-for-33 for 187 yards […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz has struggled of late, but given the Eagles’ soft upcoming schedule, it looks as though those struggles could come to an end.

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill should be a very popular pickup this week with a low ownership rate and a home date with the Jets.

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco continues to throw for an above-average amount of yards, but has been lacking in touchdowns all season.

Sam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford has surprisingly had a resurgent 2016, completing 67.5% of his passes for 1,214 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. What's even more impressive is that he's done it against a few defenses ranking near the top of league, including those of Houston […]

Trevor Siemian (QB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Although Trevor Siemian hasn’t exactly been putting up big numbers, his style of play has been exactly what Denver has needed with a strong run game and stout defense. In Week 9, however, the Broncos have the benefit of taking on the Raiders 32nd-ranked […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After starting his career with four straight games of efficient quarterback play, the past two have not been great for Carson Wentz.

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming off a strong performance against the Saints in Week 7 in which Alex Smith throw for two scores, odds are his favorable schedule will once again lead to a solid performance at Indianapolis in Week 8.

Case Keenum (QB, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Only owned in 3% of leagues, Case Keenum is almost guaranteed to be there for the taking this week.

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Colin Kaepernick may have a permanent place in headlines this season, but he did finally get to play in a real game on Sunday in Buffalo. The results weren’t pretty (13-for-29, 187 yards and one touchdown), but playing against the ravaging Bills defense in […]

Brian Hoyer (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer has not only successfully taken over since Jay Cutler went down, but he’s played well enough to the point Bears fans are clamoring for him to hold the job even upon Cutler’s return to health. There’s a pretty good chance those cries […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has been producing in some areas but not others. He’s thrown for at least 298 yards in half of his starts this season, yet only has five touchdown passes to show for it. His touchdown numbers should catch up at […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The definition of solid-but-unspectacular, Alex Smith continues to take advantage of a cupcake schedule to become more fantasy-relevant on a weekly basis than he has been in years. Next up for Smith? A date with the Saints in Kansas City. Smith is […]

Brock Osweiler (QB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brock Osweiler is coming off a very tough outing in Minnesota, which saw him complete only 45.2% of his passes for 184 yards. Fortunately for Osweiler and the Texans, they get to take on a team with a much less intimidating defense, the Indianapolis […]

Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- or 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Given the success that Dak Prescott has had, you would think he would stop being on streamer lists and would soon enter the conversation to at least be owned every week. With a Week 6 matchup in Green Bay, his ownership percentage […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcus Mariota has been underwhelming thus far in 2016, but the Browns have proven that playing them is the perfect cure for underperformance.

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Through four games in 2016, Alex Smith has been his normal, efficient self, completing 64.9% of his passes for an average of 268.3 yards per game to go along with five touchdowns and two interceptions.

Trevor Siemian (QB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the event that Trevor Siemian doesn’t play, Paxton Lynch may still be a recommended QB2 option. As of now, however, it sounds as though Siemian will be playing Sunday. Siemian has one of the best matchups in Week 5, as the Broncos return […]

Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer has certainly made one WR look very good in this offense, and unfortunately for many that receiver isn’t Alshon Jeffery. Eddie Royal had a dominant showing in Week 4, catching all seven of his targets for 111 yards and a TD in the […]

Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The return of Markus Wheaton was thought to bring the end of Sammie Coates in this Steelers offense. However, even with his return Coates is still finding a way to make an impact in this offense alongside Antonio Brown. Last week Coates secured 6-of-8 targets […]

Anquan Boldin (WR, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Marvin Jones dominating and Golden Tate slipping, Anquan Boldin is carving himself a spot as the WR2 to own in Detroit.

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When a QB is making their third appearance in the first five weeks of the season on this list, you’d think they’re no longer a streamer and more of a long-term hold. Owned in only 49% of leagues, however, Joe Flacco is once […]
