Paul Perkins (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The breaking news of Week 9 is that the Giants still suck at running the ball, but at least Paul Perkins racked up 32 yards on 11 carries and added in two 15-yard catches to give him 62 total yards. No one would’ve been happy playing him […]

Peyton Barber (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-team leagues until Doug Martin returns OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay is really pushing the limits of “next man up” here. While Doug Martin does have a chance to return for the Bucs’ Week 10 home date with the Bears, he’s light years from a sure thing and is unlikely […]

DuJuan Harris (RB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DuJuan Harris stepped up in San Francisco’s shootout with the Saints, a game that saw 64 total points go up on the board with DuJuan garnering 23.2 PPR points. As we said with Kaepernick, expectations will need to be tempered for these next few matchups, especially […]

Ronnie Hillman (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Asiata failed to get any sort of stranglehold on Minnesota’s backfield with Adrian Peterson and Jerick McKinnon out, and even though McKinnon is back now, it’s a dark-horse candidate that ran the best in Week 9. Hillman, the Denver castoff, totaled 30 rushing yards […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues as a handcuff for Devontae Booker OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m sure eyebrows were raised by his 69-yard TD on a screen pass, but this is still just a handcuff type who only saw three touches on Sunday night. Denver isn’t sporting a great offense, and while Bibbs may have earned […]

Terron Ward (RB, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues or as a handcuff for Devonta Freeman OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tevin Coleman is still hurt, so Ward is still the cuff. While Devonta Freeman obviously dominates the touches on this potent Atlanta offense, Ward would enjoy some fantasy relevance should he miss any time. The Falcons will tussle with the […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues as a handcuff for Melvin Gordon OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Here’s a guy I’d much rather scoop compared to Ward, as Farrow is the only man left standing behind Melvin Gordon now that Dexter McCluster is done for the season. Gordon limped off the field for one play in […]

Mike James (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in very deep leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Plain and simple, if Doug Martin and Jacquizz Rodgers are both still out for Tampa Bay in Week 10 then James is the only warm body at RB for the Bucs behind Peyton Barber. It’s unlikely that they’ll utilize the green Barber as a workhorse, so […]

Week 9 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks

If you played Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (513 yards, four touchdowns) last week, that was a great move.

Hitting on a majorly productive stack like Carr and Cooper can often be the difference between a […]
