Oakland Raiders (DEF, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If Oakland’s strong offensive cane steamroll Houston’s defense to the point where Brock Osweiler is forced to take chances and make mistakes, things could get messy pretty early. If Khalil Mack and company can get in Brock’s face and push the pace, […]

Miami Dolphins (DEF, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dolphins have racked up 10 sacks over their last three games, and have also notched six picks in their last two. Whether they’re facing Case Keenum or Jared Goff, they’ll be a good play with the pressure they’re producing. Check out […]

Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Steelers have now generated five sacks and four turnovers over their last three games, after tallying just eight sacks and six turnovers through their first six games. They’re facing the Browns in Week 11, so they become an obvious target for […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford completed 31-of-40 passes for the second straight week, as he unraveled a 307-yard effort with two touchdowns and an interception against a solid Washington secondary in Minnesota’s fourth straight loss on Sunday. It’s clear that new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur is really […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Colin Kaepernick faced a poor matchup with Arizona in Week 10 with a cheery demeanor, and ended up turning in a QB1 performance that wasn’t far off from Cam Newton’s game against Kansas City. Kaep only totaled 210 yards through the air with one […]

J.J. Nelson (WR, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: J.J. Nelson followed up his eight-catch, 79-yard and two-touchdown day against the Panthers in Week 8 with an absolutely horrid Week 10 showing against the lowly 49ers defense. He only caught two of his six targets for 29 yards, and also lost […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The good news is that Kendall Wright has scored a touchdown in three of his past five games, but obviously owners are a bit jaded considering he only caught two balls for eight yards alongside the touchdown. He hasn’t topped five targets […]

Robert Woods (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Robert Woods caught 10-of-13 targets for 162 yards against a tough Seattle defense on the road in Week 9 before Buffalo hit their bye, and he is clearly running as the No. 1 with Sammy Watkins still on the shelf. Week 11 […]

Eli Rogers (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We all know Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell are the clear one-two punch for Pittsburgh’s offense, but after that things get very murky. Eli Rogers looks to be next right now, as Ladarius Green is still limited, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Markus Wheaton […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Humphries has now caught five balls for 46 yards in each of Tampa Bay’s last two games now, as he’s the clear safety valve for Jameis Winston as the slot man with so many other weapons for the Bucs banged up. […]

Bryce Treggs (WR, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Bryce Treggs didn’t see any targets in Week 10 after showing some life in his Week 9 debut for Philadelphia, and this may just be the case of the team not giving him enough of a chance to have a hope for […]

Quinton Patton (WR, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If you’re truly desperate, Quinton Patton has now seen nine targets in back-to-back games for San Francisco. He has turned that into a combined nine catches for 158 yards, but those numbers are prettier than the production has really looked. Further hurting […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Albert Wilson has seen 15 targets over his last two games, but only caught seven of them for a combined 67 yards and a touchdown back in Week 9. His 4-25-0 line from Week 10 was pretty poor, and he really can’t […]

Hunter Henry (TE, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It wasn’t pretty, but Hunter Henry did find the end zone in the third quarter to generate some fantasy value in Week 10. He finished with a 2-11-1 line that screams “#2 TE”, as Antonio Gates saw nine targets and caught four of them for 63 […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Brate has seen a steady rise in targets and production over the last three weeks, with Week 10’s 7-84-1 line yielding his highest reception and yardage totals of the season. Jameis Winston needed someone else to throw to with the Bears tilting coverage heavily towards […]

Ladarius Green (TE, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green finally made it back to the field, and while his three catches for 30 yards isn’t anything special, we knew he’d be limited and that’s pretty darn good for only playing 12 snaps. He was also targeted on an end-zone fade route, but it wasn’t […]

C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: C.J. Fiedorowicz was covered pretty well all game by Jacksonville, catching three of his five targets for a mere 26 yards for his worst game since bursting onto the scene in Week 4. Luckily, this little dip in production should be short-lived considering he now […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vernon Davis continues to make the most of his sporadic targets, as he’s now caught 26-of-29 balls thrown his way this season. He turned his three Week 10 targets into 66 yards and a touchdown, which should illustrate the issue here. Relying on three targets […]

Vance McDonald (TE, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Old Vance McDonald has now garnered six targets in each of his last three games, but the bad news is that he’s only managed to catch eight of them. At least he caught four of his six targets for 50 yards in Week 10’s loss […]

Jeremy Langford (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m going to take a stab at Jeremy Langford's ownership percentage and say that the bulk of it comes from teams/leagues that haven’t been touched since the early going. Langford has been a non-factor in fantasy leagues (and in the NFL) for several weeks now, so definitely […]

Rob Kelley (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rob Kelley ran well in Washington’s Week 10 victory over a strong Vikings defense, as he surpassed four yards per carry with 97 yards on 22 totes. He also had a catch for -2 yards, but obviously that’s not doing anything for you outside […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tim Hightower is still the “B-side” of the RB committee here with the starter Mark Ingram, with the latter out-touching Hightower 13-to-10 in Week 10’s strange loss to Denver. Hightower only got 55 total yards, with 34 of them coming on two receptions. Unfortunately for […]

C.J. Prosise (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: C.J. Prosise showed off his receiving skills in Seattle’s battle against the Patriots on Sunday night in Week 10, as he caught all seven of his targets for 87 yards while also rushing the ball 17 times for another 66 yards. Tallying 153 total […]

James Starks (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: See? I told you that James Starks was the add here. I know he’s not a game-breaker, but Mike McCarthy is desperate and has no qualms with leaning on a traditional running back here in Starks. James was only given 10 touches, as he […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon didn’t look great, but boy howdy did Terrance West look bad. Even against the Cleveland Browns, West could only muster a 3.1 YPC against them while Dixon managed to rustle up 80 yards on 11 touches. This writer doubts that Dixon ever […]

Alfred Morris (RB, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Ezekiel Elliott OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another week, another buzzy report that Ezekiel Elliott is basically in the crosshairs of the NFL. Alfred Morris is unplayable for as long as Elliott is active, but if this whole domestic violence case ever amounts to any […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Devontae Booker OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker out-touched Kapri Bibbs 26-to-7, and that was in a glorious matchup against the Saints in the dome. Don’t expect anything more out of Bibbs other than his being a handcuff at this point. Denver’s offense just […]

Damien Williams (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Jay Ajayi OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Damien Williams is Jay Ajayi’s handcuff and he hilariously scored two touchdowns on only three touches in Week 10. That sort of hyper-efficiency cannot be relied on in any way of course, but the alarm bells went off briefly […]

Ka'Deem Carey (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Jordan Howard OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ka'Deem Carey’s momentum from Weeks 6 and 7 has been absolutely demolished lately, but if Jordan Howard misses time then Carey will likely see an uptick in snaps and get some decent work alongside Jeremy Langford. It wouldn’t […]

Fitzgerald Toussaint (RB, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a handcuff for LeVeon Bell OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With DeAngelo Williams healing from his knee surgery, Fitzgerald Toussaint is now the next man up for Pittsburgh should something happen to LeVeon Bell. While we’re not touting Toussaint as a big talent, the opportunity in Pittsburgh’s high-octane offense is worth […]
