Buy Lows & Sell Highs: Todd Gurley, Davante Adams, Brian Hoyer & More
The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season. The key is to buy low on cold players and sell overachieving players whose values have skyrocketed. While this is a well-known method, some owners still tend to overreact when a play over- or […]

After reviewing Week 7's Buy Low/Sell High list, it's time to look at the best candidates to buy and sell for Week 8. I had a much easier time with the "Buy Low" list than I did the "Sell High" this week. I worry that we're starting to really find out who will be a […]
Week 8 Risers and Fallers: Alfred Blue, Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle & More
Week 7 is in the books, and there are still five undefeated teams left standing in the NFL. Fantasy football managers with a matching 7-0 record are just as boastful, but the fantasy gods are vengeful and do not take kindly to such hubris. Even the teams at the top of the table need to manage […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The meter is rising once again for Teddy Bridgewater, coming off his best start of the year. Emerging rookie wideout Stefon Diggs brings a new dimension to the Vikings' offense, and that benefits their second-year signal caller immensely. The Vikings have […]
Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
The Ravens have struggled this year (1-6), even though they have been in position to win almost every game. Joe Flacco hasn't lived up to his clutch reputation and has thrown three picks in drives that could have tied or won the game. But Flacco (61% owned) should still be on fantasy rosters in almost […]
Jose Mourinho Is Now The Worried One
Experts say one week is a long time in football. What about one month? Not sure what the experts say but the beleaguered Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho would probably say it has been a hellish eternity and given Chelsea's season thus far, who could blame him? Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of […]
Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Avoid in all formats OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one has ever questioned Colin Kaepernick's raw talent. He has all the physical tools to succeed, but the consistency simply isn't there this season.

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Fallers From Week 7
Week 7 is just another page in the history books.

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had to navigate some pretty treacherous waters recently with most of his crew below deck nursing their respective ailments.
