Jerick McKinnon (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jerick McKinnon had an awful game on the ground, rushing for only 31 yards on 14 carries for a shoddy 2.2 YPC, but redeemed himself in PPR formats with six catches for 38 additional yards. His skill set should come into play against an oft-burned Colts defense that […]
James White (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White was in on 29 snaps in Week 13, compared to 20 for Dion Lewis (48% Owned). LeGarrette Blount had 36. It would appear that Bill Belichick is more than content to let White continue working in with Lewis, and making steady contributions […]
Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Forte exited after just three carries with an apparent knee injury, giving Powell the chance to face the 49ers' leaky run defense. He did as expected, carrying 29 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-winning score in overtime. He won't get San Fran […]
Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues as a Melvin Gordon handcuff/replacement OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Melvin Gordon being carted off the field undoubtedly caused many fantasy owners to pull their hair out in this important week. He will get an MRI on his hip Monday to determine his status, but for now is uncertain for Week 15. Kenneth […]
Justin Forsett (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The numbers weren't pretty in his Denver debut, but the one that should be noted is snap share. Forsett carried the ball six time for 17 yards, including a fumble, but he was on the field just as much as Devontae Booker. Forsett took 26 […]

Week 14 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus
Well, Eli Manning and Sterling Shepard did not pop off in Week 13. At least they connected late for a TD to salvage the day. Manning really dumped on my dreams by throwing that early interception in the end zone on a stupid throw to Larry Donnell, of all the guys to target. Josh Hill got […]
