Don't Let Brandon LaFell Fall into Another Owner's Hands

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep 12 Team Leagues; FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 OWNED IN: 39% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon LaFell is eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 7, and while that's a tough draw against the Jets, you are going to want to get ahead of the curve on this one […]

FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 6 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

So there's one obvious situation that demands attention above all else. Jamaal Charles has suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the 2015 NFL season. For Charles owners this is devastating, and drastic action needs to be taken, and for non-Charles owners, well you get a chance to take his replacement hostage and try […]

Derek Carrier Is A Sneaky Tight End Waiver Option

FAAB Bid: $1-2, 3% owned in Fleaflicker In deep leagues maybe a lot of the fun tight end options to date have been owned for a while, but Jordan Reed's injury opened the door for Derek Carrier to come in and produce. While he didn't see a lot of volume, he still turned three targets into […]

Richard Rodgers (GB, TE) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

FAAB Bid: $4 - 6, 42% owned in Fleaflicker Richard Rodgers is the only real tight end the Packers have left, and it's becoming clear that Aaron Rodgers does notice Richard Rodgers out there as the weeks go along. While Rodgers didn't find the end zone in Week 5, he saw eight targets, ending with six […]

Gary Barnidge Is A Must-Have Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $8 - 10, 46% owned in Fleaflicker Momma there goes that man again. Gary Barnidge had an insane between the legs catch that highlighted another stellar day for the not so young tight end. He turned 10 targets into eight receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown on the aforementioned highlight play. There is […]

Jamison Crowder (WSH, WR) - Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

FAAB Bid: $1 - 2, 6% owned in Fleaflicker DeSean Jackson returning is going to cut into Crowder's snaps, but Washington can't be too picky when it comes to having someone effective on the offensive end. DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon will be good for them, but with Jordan Reed sidelined, Crowder should absolutely take over those […]

How Much To Bid On Kamar Aiken - Week 6 Waivers

FAAB Bid: $4 - 6, 18% owned in Fleaflicker With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely and Steve Smith Sr. out with his rib injury, Aiken caught four balls on nine targets for 78 yards. As was said here last week: he's not a world beater out there, but he's talented enough to convert additional targets into production that you're […]

Stash Brandon LaFell Off The Waiver Wire

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 39% owned in Fleaflicker Brandon LaFell is eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 7, and while that's a tough draw against the Jets, you are going to want to get ahead of the curve on this one if you can. The Patriots' offense is a juggernaut, and LaFell is […]

Antonio Andrews Is A Sneaky Running Back Add

FAAB Bid: $6-8, 18% owned in Fleaflicker Andrews was hurt as the year started and Bishop Sankey had a crazy first week against Tampa Bay, which anchored a lot of people's mentality to not even look for Andrews. But he clearly jumped over Terrance West for short yardage duties, as well as proving himself to be a […]

Thomas Rawls Still A Priority Waiver Wire Add?

FAAB Bid: $6 - 10 / Lynch Owner: $16 - 20, 30% owned in Fleaflicker With Marshawn Lynch out, Thomas Rawls was "the guy" again for Seattle over the veteran Fred Jackson. Rawls had another stellar day, with 169 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. It's almost a shame that Lynch is going to be coming back […]

Charles Sims, A Strong PPR Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 / FAAB Bid in PPR League: $8 - 10, 54% owned in Fleaflicker Speaking of these pass catching running backs, maybe Sims is still available in your league. He has looked exceptionally elusive and quick this year, while last year he appeared to be indecisive and just wasn't converting on his […]

Charcandrick West vs. Knile Davis - Week 6 Waiver Wire Blues

Charcandrick West (KC, RB) FAAB Bid: $20 - 25 / Charles Owner FAAB Bid: 80% of your bankroll Knile Davis (KC, RB) FAAB Bid: $10 - 12 / Charles Owner FAAB Bid: $20-25 There's no avoiding this one, Jamaal Charles appears to be all but confirmed for sitting out the rest of 2015. Knile Davis has […]

Blake Bortles, An Elite Waiver Wire Pickup?

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 38% owned in Fleaflicker Don't move too quickly to the waiver wire, as Bortles still looks very skittish and easily alarmed in the pocket and is now reportedly dealing with a Grade 1 sprain in his AC Joint (which has a small effect on throwing motion, but the worst is when […]

Is Brian Hoyer A Worthy Waiver Add for Week 6

FAAB Bid: $2 - 3, 8% owned in Fleaflicker I've got to include a desperation option, or for those in competitive two quarterback leagues. Ryan Mallett needed to take a play off, and Brian Hoyer never gave the starting gig back on Thursday night. Texans' Head Coach Bill O'Brien has pivoted back to Brian Hoyer as […]

Joe Flacco Still Underowned, Strong Week 6 Matchup Awaits

FAAB Bid: $3 - 4, 58% owned in Fleaflicker Perhaps people dropped him for a hotter option since Steve Smith Sr. went down with an injury, and it is noteworthy that most of Flacco's value against the Browns came from his legs (two rushing touchdowns). That said, he gets to face the San Francisco secondary that […]

Justin Forsett Owners Must Add Javorius Allen

FAAB Bid: $3 - 5, 8% owned in Fleaflicker Don't look now, but the Ravens are running really thin on running backs. Justin Forsett does appear to have managed the dreaded high ankle sprain, but his health is a question mark going into Week 6. Lorenzo Taliaferro is usually Forsett's backup, but he himself missed Week […]

Jay Cutler Should Not Be On Any Week 6 Waiver Wires

FAAB Bid: $3 - 4, 40% owned in Fleaflicker Look, he gets a bum rap, but he pulled out a victory for the Bears against the Chiefs - even though he was missing his top two wide receivers and was working with the backup center. As of Monday midday, he is the QB12 scoring-wise on Fleaflicker, meaning […]

Theo Riddick Is A Sneaky PPR Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 (PPR Leagues), 15% owned in Fleaflicker Riddick deserves a lot more love in PPR leagues, but it turns out he's not a total throwaway in standard leagues either. Ameer Abdullah fumbled the ball twice in the first half of the Lions' game against the Arizona Cardinals, and he was benched for […]

Allen Hurns Is A Priority Waiver Wire Add

FAAB Bid: $6 - 8, 54% owned in Fleaflicker I said last week not to think of Hurns as the lead dog in Jacksonville, and Allen Robinson did come back to show that he is the number one for the Jaguars this week. That said Hurns was again great, posting another 116 yard and one touchdown […]

Dion Lewis: Here to Stay

Dion Lewis had another stellar game for the New England Patriots, turning 11 targets into eight receptions into 59 yards and an amazing Houdini-like touchdown, with six carries for 34 yards (5.6 YPC). Lewis continues to show that he is an elusive talent, making four Cowboys' defenders miss on his way into the end zone […]

Eli Manning and Larry Donnell Propel Giants to Win On Spectacular Catch

Being a New York Giants fan is not for the faint of heart, but Sunday night paid off for the Giants' faithful with a late rally that was capped off by an incredible throw from Eli Manning into the back of the end zone that tight end Larry Donnell brought down over his head for […]

Blake Bortles Impresses in Losing Effort

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles made a Week 5 loss in Tampa Bay very close, finishing the game on Sunday with 23 completions on 33 attempts for 303 yards, four touchdowns and a lone interception. While no one is going to say that Bortles lit the world on fire with his performance, the completion percentage […]

Justin Forsett Hurts Ankle Late in Overtime Loss

Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett had been running well all day against the Cleveland Browns. He ripped off a long run down the right sideline only to get tackled awkwardly and twist his ankle. He did not return to the game (although do note that there was very little game left at this point). Hopefully it […]

Tim Wright (TE, DET) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?

The Lions are in a spot where their secondary is really struggling. Their run defense has graded out at 13.3 according to PFF, while their pass coverage has gotten a -12.5 grade. Carson Palmer and company should open up their aerial assault, and the Lions should find themselves needing to throw. Eric Ebron is hurt, […]

Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?

Snead has come along nicely for New Orleans, and he ended up having the second most snaps for New Orleans' receivers in Week 4. He's seen six targets in each of the past three games for the Saints, and now appears to have leapfrogged Brandon Coleman and Marques Colston for playing time. Last week's game […]

Antonio Gates (TE, SD) - Week 5 Lineup Booms

Just have to throw this out, as Gates is back. He is not coming off of injury, and he has an established chemistry with Philip Rivers. The Chargers are banged up with Stevie Johnson and Malcom Floyd getting hurt last week, and Gates is the favorite for red zone looks when he's on the field. We […]

Derek Carrier (TE, WAS) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?

Well, Jordan Reed is hurt again. Enter Derek Carrier. It's a real punt type play, but just because Jordan Reed is out now doesn't mean that all of a sudden Kirk Cousins won't instinctively look for his tight end just as he is accustomed to doing. The Falcons should have their way with the Washington […]

T.J. Yeldon (RB, JAX) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?

This is going to be a very intriguing game, because there are so many mistakes that could be made at the hands of both quarterbacks. Here are the facts though, PFF grades the Buccaneers out as the worst against the run with a pathetic -26.2 grade. T.J. Yeldon is the guy in Jacksonville, he played 78 […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Week 5 Lineup Booms

Remember when I said how Julio Jones has that great matchup? Well Leonard Hankerson gets the same one. While Julio is matchup proof, it still benefits him that DeAngelo Hall is out and injuries have shuffled things for Washington. On the season though, the Redskins rank out as ninth best against opponents' number one receivers […]

C.J. Spiller (RB, NO) - Week 5 Lineup Booms

It's possible that C.J. Spiller's long game winning play on Sunday night will crank up the spotlight on Spiller. But the Saints being on the road, and Brees' still ailing along with questions of sustainability outside of big plays, should keep that ownership level tempered. The Eagles are playing exceptionally well against the run (fourth […]
