Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, reports had surfaced before Tennessee’s bye that they were interested in using Henry more in short-yardage situations. It came to fruition against Kansas City in Week 15, as he tallied 58 yards and two touchdowns on only nine touches in an extremely efficient effort. One touchdown […]
Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Henry's touches aren't increasing very much, but he is making the most of the time he spends on the field. Henry scored twice against the Chiefs, much to the chagrin of DeMarco Murray owners. He only had nine rush attempts in the game, but came away with […]
Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dixon’s workload took a step back in Week 15 against the Eagles, as the Ravens didn’t find themselves needing to catch up to a potent offense as they did in Week 14 against the Patriots. Still, Dixon took a nice halfback sweep off of a fake […]
Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It took some time, but Dion Lewis has finally worked his way into the lead role for New England. He toted the rock 18 times for 95 yards against Denver, outrushing LeGarrette Blount. James White remains involved in passing situations, catching three passes […]
Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most active leagues won't see Dixon available on the waiver wire, but he still comes in under 50% ownership as we close out Week 15. Dixon unofficially assumed RB1 duties for the Ravens in MNF against the Pats last week. Terrance West outcarried Dixon this week 13-9, […]
Ty Montgomery (RB/WR, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Montgomery was given the start at running back in the frigid cold against the Bears, and averaged over 10 yards per carry for 162 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries, with two catches for one yard. The passing line isn’t fantastic, but he truly dazzled as […]
Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Hightower didn’t gain a lot of yardage against Arizona (48 total) but tallied two rushing scores to entrench himself as an RB1 in Week 15. He wasn’t great compared to Mark Ingram (and trust me, Ingram let his coaches know this on the sideline in a tantrum), […]
Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues if Melvin Gordon remains injured OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Farrow flopped in relief of the injured Melvin Gordon to the tune of 15 carries for 39 yards and two catches for 14 yards alongside a fumble lost. Yuck. It’s pretty clear that Farrow isn’t ready to be a viable starter in this […]
Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lewis finally had a big game, as he eclipsed 100 total yards against the Broncos with the Pats utilizing his agility against a horrible rush defense. He should be employed in a similar fashion against a Jets defense that is strong against north-south […]

Week 15 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks
Well, that was ugly. Fantasy stalwarts like Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Mike Evans and Jordan Reed, among others, turned in absolute duds in Week 14, which of course happens to be the first week of the fantasy playoffs for most season-long leagues. The beauty of daily fantasy, of course, is that one week's duds don't […]
Week 15 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus
It was a very hit-or-miss week, with Philip Rivers not being a top-10 QB while Joe Flacco was definitely worth the bump. Spencer Ware flubbed with Charcandrick West stealing the red-zone TD, but Rob Kelley was certainly an RB2. Believing in DeAndre Hopkins again was simply idiotic of me. Kyle Rudolph had a nice week, […]

The same goes for fantasy football, and managing rosters effectively is key to winning that championship. Throughout the season, players get […]

Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Matt Forte going in for an MRI on his knee, Powell is the clear pickup in New York. He absolutely destroyed the weak 49ers defense in Week 14, racking up 145 rushing yards and two TDs on 29 totes. He also caught all five of his […]
Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues as a Melvin Gordon handcuff/replacement OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Ronnie Hillman inactive, it was Farrow who shouldered the rushing load (16 carries for 55 yards, six catches for 23 yards) after Melvin Gordon went down with a hip injury. Initial reports are that Gordon should be fine, but he’ll undergo […]
Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If there were ever a game where Baltimore might need their versatile pass-catching back early and often, it would be Week 14 against the powerful Patriots. Last week Dixon rushed the ball 13 times for a middling 49 yards, but did tack on 31 receiving yards […]
Charles Sims (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Charles Sims looked good in his return to action against the Saints in Week 14, as he rushed the ball four times for 17 yards with three catches for 33 yards. He out-touched Jacquizz Rodgers seven to two and should have some RB3 PPR […]
