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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Steelers defense did a good job shutting down the Redskins offense on Monday night, and now they have a matchup against the Bengals, who allowed seven sacks to the Jets in Week 1. Ryan Shazier is healthy and looks like an impact player, and […]

New England Patriots (DEF, NWE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Own in All Leagues OWNED IN: 89% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dolphins offense line looked somewhat better than it was last year, but that's not a high bar. The Patriots are still without Rob Ninkovich, but they've got enough weapons to shut down Ryan Tannehill and Jarvis Landry. Arian Foster has a similar skill set to David […]

Arizona Cardinals (DEF, ARI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Own in All Leagues OWNED IN: 97% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Cardinals have a top-of-the-line secondary, and with Chandler Jones now disrupting offenses up front, they should finish the year in the top five again. However, in Week 2 they're tasked with stopping a very competent Jameis Winston-led Tampa Bay offense. I like this D/ST as a […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 62% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Jets decimated the Bengals offensive line to the tune of seven sacks in Week 1. The Bills present even less of a challenge, particularly if Sammy Watkins is limited by resurgent foot pain. Thursday night games are usually schlockfests, and this one is shaping […]

New York Giants (DEF, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most owners are rolling out the defense they drafted for Week 1, but if for some reason that pick doesn't excite, the Giants are a safe bet not to come up empty-handed against the Cowboys.

2016 Fantasy Football Team Outlook- Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills have had an up and down offseason. They were able to re-sign some key pieces on both sides of the ball, keeping most of their team together from last season. However, after some suspensions and injuries the outlook for the team isn’t as bright as some Bills fans would like. The Bills […]

Defense Draft Targets and D/ST Sleepers for 2016

One of the most important parts of your draft is setting yourself up for success from the start, and making sure you have the best lineup Week 1. One of the most forgotten parts about securing a good lineup is to draft or pick up a defense that will score you points week in and […]

2016 Fantasy Football Team Outlook - San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers. You can go back less than 10 years ago and the combination of Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates was all promised to finish in the top-12 of their position. Today’s Chargers are not filled with as much certainty. While two of the three previously named players are still active, […]

2016 Fantasy Football Team Outlook - Tennessee Titans

Tennessee made some of the splashier off-season moves by adding two legit starters at the same position and ditching a player who some thought were destined for stardom. Whether it works remains to be seen, but this year's Titans offense should definitely be a much different version of itself. In the search for an end […]

New York Jets (DEF, NYJ) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: 166 ANALYSIS: The Jets allowed just 5,098 yards of total offense last year, the fourth fewest in football. They were particularly impermeable on the ground, as opposing teams ran the ball into the end zone just four times all year. In the off-season, New York extended Muhammad Wilkerson and […]

Green Bay Packers (DEF, GB) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 CURRENT ADP: 187 ANALYSIS: In the 2015 NFL Draft, the Packers addressed the secondary, grabbing Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins in the first two rounds. As a result, they yielded the sixth fewest passing yards in football in the 2015 season. However, they were still vulnerable in the running game, allowing […]

Philadelphia Eagles (DEF, PHI) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Last Round CURRENT ADP: 228 ANALYSIS: The Eagles’ defense is not considered to be a particularly appealing unit in fantasy football. It was incredibly permeable in 2015, yielding the fifth-most passing yards and the most rushing yards— third most yards of total offense. Linebacker Stephen Tulloch is the only notable addition […]

Players To Consider Avoiding in Each Round - ADP Draft Value Inefficiencies

One of the most common pitfalls that fantasy football owners fall into is group think. Sure, you may not like someone, but if everyone else does than there has to be something there, right?
