Week 13 is bearing down on us, and in the fantasy football world that means most folks are going into the last game of the regular season for them. Going into the do or die week, we'd much rather feel like we've got players on our squad that are more prone to "do" rather than […]

Week 12 Fantasy Football Fallers: Philip Rivers, Chris Ivory, Amari Cooper & More
In Week 12 we really saw a lot of low scores across plenty of fantasy leagues. There were some big performances from names that were filling in for others.

Week 12 Fantasy Football Risers: Matthew Stafford, Eddie Lacy, DeSean Jackson & More
How in the world is Week 12 here already? Thanksgiving is coming up with three games to satiate that football appetite, and if that doesn't do it then you can house a turducken in honor of John Madden. While we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 12 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Thomas Rawls, Buck Allen, Jameis Winston & More
While Week 8 was still the biggest fantasy football graveyard week for injuries, Week 11 was certainly no picnic either (and Monday Night Football has yet to go, bubble wrap your players).

Week 11 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Mark Sanchez, Ronnie Hillman, Zach Ertz, & More!
Week 11 is here and ready to make dreams come true. There aren't any games this week that have projected point totals of over 50 points. The closest we've got is the 49.5 total that the Detroit-Oakland game is offering. This doesn't mean that there isn't cheaper fun to be had though. There is still plenty […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He won’t be the most consistent option for fantasy owners, but he has a decent amount of upside in a Baltimore offense that doesn’t really have any dominant force on it.

Stretch Run Value: Richard Rodgers
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He'll be reliant on getting into the end zone for his production to be worth it, but the Packers clearly don't have much of a reliable run game to fall back on right now.

Nate Washington: Still Underowned
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There’s no questioning that the Houston Texans’ receiving corps is led by DeAndre Hopkins by a pretty wide margin.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Watching the Monday Night Football tilt between the Bengals and Texans did not yield a lot of smiles for fantasy owners outside of those who had the defenses, but there were still bright spots.

Week 11 Fantasy Football Fallers: The Bengals Offense, Alshon Jeffery, Emmanuel Sanders & More
In Week 11 we really only saw Julian Edelman (foot) go down to serious injury, though the Peyton Manning (plantar fasciitis) news is pretty noteworthy, however if anything it just sets Manning owners free from the temptation of playing him. Sam Bradford hurt his shoulder and was concussed, though the latest reports have him just […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 11 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Danny Amendola, Matt Jones, Tyrod Taylor & More

Fantasy Football Fallers: Chris Ivory, Ronnie Hillman, Eli Manning & More
Week 9 had quite a lot of players going off, though rest assured there were still plenty of disappointments to go around. There were also some stat lines that are deceptively strong, but shroud the truth that the game could have been much better.

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 10 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Grab Richard Rodgers at His Low Point
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rodgers hasn’t scored since Week 4, and his ownership levels have reflected a mellowing out on the Rodgers’ hype.

Does Lance Moore Deserve More of Your Attention?
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Surprisingly enough, Lance Moore has caught touchdowns in three of the past four weeks.
