Ryan Fitzpatrick Has Been a Consistent Fantasy Scorer

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick is the model of inconsistency when it comes to on-field play, but has somehow been decently consistent when it comes to fantasy scoring. Also prone to rushing and throwing touchdowns along with interceptions, why would he be here this week? Well, if […]

Blake Bortles Has a Developed Corps of Weapons

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Blake Bortles' development isn't going nearly as smoothly as Derek Carr's-- he's producing fantasy points nearly every week this year. In fact, right now he's about to jump past Alex Smith and become the ninth highest scoring QB so far this year. Bortles […]

Derek Carr Is in Full Breakout Mode

BALLER MOVE: Add in 8- and 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 63% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derek Carr is quickly becoming one of the NFL's budding stars as a passer, and more importantly, for our purposes, one of the league's better options in fantasy. After a bumpy start including three under 15 point games in his first five weeks, Carr […]

The Saints Are an Enticing Matchup for Kirk Cousins

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 […]

Marcus Mariota Is Healthy and Playing at a High Level

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 […]

Jameis Winston Needs Some Help from His Teammates

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 […]

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning: Evaluating the Brothers From Here on Out

Peyton and Eli Manning are the most successful brothers in the history of the NFL, but at this stage of their respective careers, they are heading in separate directions.

Week 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 […]

Buy Lows & Sell Highs: T.J. Yeldon, Stevie Johnson, Jacob Tamme & 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 […]

Injuries are one of the worst parts about DFS - aside from losing, that is.
