Tyreek Hill (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues if Jeremy Maclin is injured OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Hill appears to have bookended his radical hat trick of touchdowns against Denver with a 4-53-0 effort against Tampa Bay in Week 11 and a near-identical 5-53-0 stat line in Week 13 against Atlanta. The floor here is viable with Jeremy Maclin on […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After Boyd turned in five catches for 62 yards in Week 12, he caught four balls for 66 yards in Week 13 against the Eagles for another week of 10+ PPR points. He has seen 15 combined targets in the two games that A.J. Green has been out, […]

Taylor Gabriel (WR, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’ve been pretty harsh on Gabriel, but he has now seen at least five targets over his past four games and nearly continued his wild streak of hyper-efficiency in Week 13. He fell just a hair shy of another touchdown, getting tackled at the one, as […]

Mohamed Sanu (WR, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues if he is healthy and Julio Jones' injury is limiting OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sanu only logged two catches for 26 yards in Week 13 against the Chiefs before bowing out late in the contest with a groin injury. He didn’t return, though nothing of severity has been reported thus far. […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Boldin disappointed with a 4-40-0 line on six targets against the Saints in Week 13, which would have been considered an underperformance even if Marvin Jones Jr. had been active. Sadly, this paltry line came with Jones Jr. inactive, as T.J. Jones and Andre Roberts were the ones […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream as a risky flex option in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: LaFell flashed his upside again in Week 13, catching five-of-seven targets for 95 yards and a touchdown against a Dolphins team that got slammed. LaFell hadn’t been efficient in any way over the last two weeks, despite the opportunity being there with […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream as a flex player in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I was rather bearish on Inman’s prospects with Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin active alongside him in Week 13’s matchup against a suddenly formidable Tampa Bay defense, but Inman proved me wrong. The five targets were his lowest total since Week […]

Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Pierre Garcon had a nice bounceback spot against Arizona’s solid defense, catching seven of his nine targets for 78 yards in his usual possession-receiver fashion. It would be foolish to chase that line from the Green Bay game, but these types of lines are not […]

Ted Ginn Jr. (WR, CAR) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ted Ginn Jr. took yet another speedy romp to the house in Week 13, as he burnt Seattle’s secondary for a 55-yard touchdown. He really cannot be contained by most defenses, it’s just a matter of whether Cam Newton can connect with him or not. Ginn Jr. […]

Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Repeat for Week 13's Monday Night Football game still to be played: Enunwa bounced back in a big way in Week 12, as he hauled in all five of his targets for 109 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots after catching only two balls combined […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The good news is that Dorial Green-Beckham saw 10 targets for the second straight week, and he didn’t even have the play the whole game to accrue that total! The bad news is that he only mustered a 4-29-0 line in the process, and […]

Chris Hogan (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream only in deep leagues over next two weeks OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Hogan will see more looks moving forward with Rob Gronkowski on the shelf, as the Patriots are apparently committed to more three-wide sets as a reaction. It worked out well for Hogan and his owners in Week 13, as he caught […]

Adam Thielen (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Avoid in Week 14; Stream in 10- and 12-Team PPR Leagues in Week 15 OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Thielen has now topped 10+ PPR points in five straight games, and 13 in each of his past three. He caught seven balls for 86 yards against Dallas in Minnesota’s Week 13 loss, even with Stefon Diggs […]

Cameron Meredith (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues if Eddie Royal and Marquess Wilson are out in Week 14 OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Meredith turned in a valiant 3-67-0 line despite some awful weather in Chicago, as he managed to connect on some deep balls with Matt Barkley against San Francisco’s rotten defense. Marquess Wilson was a total […]

Josh Bellamy (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Josh Bellamy followed up his nine targets from Week 12 with an astoundingly productive Week 13, especially given the circumstances of that brutal slopfest. With Marquess Wilson missing most of the game with an injury, Bellamy was the apple of Matt Barkley’s eye. Bellamy caught four […]

Marqise Lee (WR, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Monitor his Week 15 performance; possible streamer for Week 16 OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jacksonville flopped in grandiose fashion against the Broncos in Week 13, with Marqise Lee being a casualty of war. His 3-34-0 line was one to forget, and he’ll likely follow it up with another lackluster performance in Week 14 with Minnesota’s […]

Russell Shepard (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Humphries (concussion) and Cecil Shorts (knee) were both forced from Tampa Bay’s Week 13 victory over the Chargers, which puts Shepard on radars as the clear #2 receiver behind superstar Mike Evans. Shep has shown himself to be capable with TDs in a couple of […]

Albert Wilson (WR, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues; Probably Ignore OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Jeremy Maclin still ailing, it can’t all just the Tyreek Hill show. The Chiefs needed to go toe-to-toe with Atlanta’s strong offense, and they did. Albert Wilson was the beneficiary of a fake punt, but most of you can do better here […]

Cincinnati Bengals (DEF, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This isn’t groundbreaking, as the Bengals are sitting at 55% ownership across all Fleaflicker leagues thanks to their facing the Browns in Cleveland in Week 14. While Cincinnati hasn’t done anything particularly fantastic on defense lately, they have recorded six sacks and seven interceptions while holding opponents […]

Baltimore Ravens (DEF, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Own in All Leagues as a Streamable Defense in Weeks 15 and 17 OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Ravens defense has now scored in the double digits in five of their last six contests, and have really earned that top spot in Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric. Their rushing defense has been out of this world, […]

New York Jets (DEF, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Jets defense has quite terrible this season, and I’m sure that trend will continue on Monday night against the Colts (editor's note: it did). A road date against the 49ers comes next in Week 14 though, and we’ve seen how eloquently San Francisco can shoot […]

Atlanta Falcons (DEF, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Atlanta was only able to drum up one sack in Week 13 against the Chiefs, but before that they had tallied multiple sacks in their previous five games. Unfortunately, they’ve only logged one interception in that same timespan. They miss Desmond Trufant something fierce, but at […]

Detroit Lions (DEF, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: So, maybe we need to reevaluate this Lions defense. They entered Week 13 ranking out at a horrible 31st in DVOA, but we know that doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story. Especially with fantasy. The Lions just shut down Drew Brees and the Saints in their own home, […]

Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derrick Henry looked good against the Bears in Week 12, better than DeMarco Murray did, and it was said by HC Mike Mularkey that they've discussed using Henry in more short-yardage situations moving forward. This was overshadowed by Tennessee hitting their bye, but don’t let it sneak […]

D'Angelo Williams (RB, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues as a LeVeon Bell handcuff OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Nothing has changed here, as D'Angelo Williams remains the premier handcuff in the fantasy football universe. LeVeon Bell is a force, but if he goes down then Williams has shown to be quite valuable in this potent Pittsburgh offense. You don’t […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dion Lewis barely outgained James White, with 38 total yards to White’s 35, but he had five rushes to White’s three and they each saw five targets. The truth is that they may cancel each other out in the passing game the rest of the […]

Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues as a Mark Ingram handcuff OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After Tim Hightower collected 105 yards last week alongside Mark Ingram, he pulled a magic act in Week 13 and disappeared despite Mark Ingram missing a few series with his toe injury. Hightower and the Saints were embarrassed by the Lions, […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire PIckups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 10- and 12-Team Leagues for playoff run OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Charles Sims has been practicing and is eligible to return for the Bucs first game against the Saints in Week 14. It’ll be tough for fantasy owners to trust him out of the gate in the first week of the fantasy playoffs, but […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon looked very good with the ball in his hands in Baltimore's Week 13 shellacking of Miami, but unfortunately it was Terrance West who scored twice. While Dixon totaled a steady 77 yards on only 10 touches (six rushes, four catches), the red-zone usage remains […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues as a potential playoff back; avoid in Week 14 OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Vikings almost beat the Cowboys thanks to leaning more on McKinnon than the plodding Matt Asiata (37% Owned), but they still came up short. This was a plus matchup for the pass-catching RB against […]
