James White (RB, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR and 14-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James White was being left for the dogs by many with the activation of Dion Lewis, but White will not go quietly into the night. White didn’t record a single rush in Week 11 against the 49ers, but caught all six of his […]

Rob Kelley (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I know Rob Kelley’s 50/50 ownership is partly due to inactive leagues, but his ownership still needs to be higher. I’ll break into your leagues if I have to. We touted him before after his nice showing against a strong Minnesota front in Week 10, and then […]

James Starks (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks continues to leave his mark thanks to his pass-catching abilities, as he caught five-of-six targets for 46 yards and a hilariously wide-open TD scamper. He only collected 25 rushing yards on nine totes, but total numbers are all we care about. This […]

Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tim Hightower did much of the heavy lifting in New Orleans’ Thursday night loss to Carolina (12-69 rushing, 8-57 receiving), as Mark Ingram is dealing with a possible concussion and is in question for Week 12. Hightower is more of an RB3 if Ingram does […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It is the nasiest, ugliest, grossest feeling in the world to rely on Asiata, but Week 11 was yet another example of how the goal-line running back holds value, no matter what his surroundings are. He only touched the ball six times, but collected […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dixon didn’t really see much work against Dallas in Week 11 with only six carries, but he still turned in 40 yards on the limited touches. The man has talent, but the Ravens offensive line is simply too beaten up to help him out […]

Alex Collins (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In case you missed something, the Seahawks have lost three running backs in the past week while gaining back one. Seattle waived Christine Michael, and just lost C.J. Prosise for the rest of the regular season alongside an injury to Troymaine Pope. The math is no […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Giovani Bernard reportedly done for the season with a torn ACL, it would be Burkhead that stands to gain as the man to help spell Jeremy Hill. While Hill will surely see an uptick in touches moving forward, Burkhead is a quiet benefactor […]

Akeem Hunt (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues as a handcuff for Lamar Miller OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Akeem Hunt came off the practice squad last week and promptly rushed for 52 yards on only eight carries. He is clearly the next man up behind Lamar Miller, and did so well that head coach Bill O’Brien […]

Kenjon Barner (RB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If it turns out that Darren Sproles will be joining Ryan Mathews on the shelf for an extended period of time, Kenjon Barner is likely to complement rookie Wendell Smallwood in a committee for Philadelphia. His coaches have already shown a willingness to trust […]

Fitzgerald Toussaint (RB, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues as a LeVeon Bell handcuff OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With DeAngelo Williams healing from his knee surgery, Toussaint is now the next man up for Pittsburgh should something happen to LeVeon Bell. While we’re not touting Toussaint as a big talent, the opportunity in Pittsburgh’s high-octane offense is […]

Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues as a Melvin Gordon handcuff OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another handcuff reminder, as Farrow is the only man left standing behind Melvin Gordon now that Dexter McCluster is done. Farrow is a UDFA out of Houston who won the MVP Award at the 2015 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces […]

NFL Recap - Week 11 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

The NFL has long prided itself on the parity of its league - how any team is no more than a few moves away from a Super Bowl championship. And that parity has never been more obvious than it is this year. Eighteen teams are sitting at .500 or within one game of that mark, and […]

Week 11 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw three touchdown passes in last Sunday's win against the New England Patriots, which certainly made fantasy owners happy. Fantasy owners of Wilson and Doug Baldwin, who caught all three of the scores, were surely elated. Stacking Wilson and Baldwin effectively doubled the worth of those three TDs. The goal […]

Week 11 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

Sheesh, Jay Cutler was so bad! Why did I get suckered in? Despite that, I still finished #32 overall out of the 130+ ranked industry experts this week in a solid showing. I haven’t been ranked below #44 in any given week since Week 3, so we’re running well here. Sadly, most of the folks I […]

Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 11

I can only assume that if you're still keeping up with Warning Signals into Week 11 that you're well within reach of the playoffs. That's exactly the reason why this is going to be a very "cut bait" heavy edition of our weekly piece. The fact of the matter is, there isn't really a benefit […]

Fantasy Football Buy Low & Sell High Candidates for Week 11

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 to a small sample size, so […]

Risers and Fallers for Week 11 of Fantasy Football

Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. The same goes for fantasy football, and managing rosters effectively is key to winning that championship. Throughout the season, players get […]

Fantasy Mad Libs: Starts and Sits for Week 11

It's incredibly cocky for a man who writes one fantasy column a week (and whose only call for submissions got nothing) to suggest that anyone missed his column last week. So when I tell you that I missed my column last week, know that I'm telling you for a simple reason; so I can tell you […]
