Zach Wilkens 9 years agoWeek 13 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Hasselbeck
For Week 12, Johnny Manziel was thrown out after he got benched for partying. Of the other two, Jameis Winston delivered a solid 15.5 points. Nothing flashy, but acceptable for a stream. Brock Osweiler was disappointing for most of the night, but saved himself with a touchdown and some decent yardage late. Still, has night wasn't […]
Zach Wilkens 9 years agoSomehow Matt Hasselbeck Keeps Producing
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Hasselbeck is a 40-year-old quarterback who hadn’t been fantasy relevant since 2011. Yet, here he is with four wins and four double-digit fantasy games in four starts. It’s strange, but it’s working. The Steelers' pass defense looked terrible early in the season, and […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick is coming off of his best game of the season. He threw for four touchdowns and committed no turnovers against the Dolphins. On paper, his Week 13 matchup in a quasi-home game is even better. The Giants allow the most passing […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith continues to deliver solid fantasy performances-- Week 12 was his eighth straight week without a turnover. Now he gets a much much easier matchup with the Raiders, who give up the fourth most points to QBs. That continued this past week, as Marcus […]

Zach Wilkens 9 years agoWeek 12 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Jameis Winston, Brock Osweiler, Johnny Manziel
In Week 11, all three of my waiver wire streamers from last week's column reached double digits, but none of them really went off. I felt like Ryan Fitzpatrick really didn’t play well at all but he saved his day with a rushing score. On the opposite end, Alex Smith had a great game with […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It’s Mark Sanchez time in Philadelphia. He played pretty darn good last season after taking over for Nick Foles. On the other hand, much like the Eagles as a whole this season, he didn’t look anything like last year’s version when he came on […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I was a bit scared off from Fitzpatrick’s thumb ligament issue, but he has continued to put up fantasy points in his past two games.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m hopping back on the Alex Smith train this week. Smith exceeded expectations against the Denver defense this week. Peyton Manning and Charcandrick West helped him out a lot -- but at the end of the day, he had solid points. He has […]
Zach Wilkens 9 years agoWeek 11 QB Waiver Wire & Streamers: Alex Smith, Mark Sanchez, Ryan Fitzpatrick
Week 10 saw one big hit in Kirk Cousins and two misses with the rookie QBs. Jameis Winston did manage to get a late rushing touchdown. It saved his day from being awful, but it was still disappointing as far as my standards for this column. I gambled on Marcus Mariota, knowing I didn’t like […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream this week, Add in 2QB leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: After retaking the starting role partway through the Texans Week 5 matchup vs the Colts, Hoyer has delivered solid fantasy week after solid fantasy week.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Two injuries have left the Chargers precariously thin at the wide receiver position. With Keenan Allen already on IR and Malcom Floyd’s season in doubt after a shoulder injury, relatively unknown Dontrelle Inman is thrust into a starting role. This is definitely […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kirk Cousins struggled vs. the Patriots in Week 9 after I selected him as my deeper league QB. However, I simply can’t avoid recommending Cousins in Week 10 vs. the Saints. The Saints' defense has reached truly pathetic levels. Over the past three […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is a tough match-up for Marcus Mariota, but in a week where a lot of other QBs with similar ownership percentages have even worse match-ups (Tyrod Taylor in a short week vs. Jets, Jay Cutler vs. Rams, Alex Smith vs. Broncos), I […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I think Marcus Mariota has received more recognition for some big numbers and a big OT win in Week 9. However, Jameis Winston has been extremely impressive himself. He now has four straight games without a turnover, while averaging 233 pass yards during […]
Zach Wilkens 9 years agoWeek 10 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota & Kirk Cousins
Week 9 saw Tyrod Taylor deliver an acceptable performance. It wasn’t great, but I’ll take 15 points from a QB streamer any week. Meanwhile I should have expected it, but Kirk Cousins was disappointing. My options at 25% or less were Johnny Manziel, Blaine Gabbert and Matt Cassel. There was no chance I was starting […]
