Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues if healthy for next Sunday OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yes, I'm still stumping for D-Wash (the Detroit one). Dwayne Washington was expected to play this week, but needed a bit more time to recover from a bum ankle. Justin Forsett hasn't done anything to hold onto the job and Theo Riddick remains out, […]

Knile Davis (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The presumed new starting RB for Green Bay only carried the ball three times and managed to end up with -1 yard on Thursday. To be fair, Knile Davis only had a couple of days to prepare for his debut in a Packers uniform. Then again, he […]

Chris Ivory (RB, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 69% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory only carried the ball five times on Sunday, but that was more a result of game flow. T.J. Yeldon only carried the ball six times as the Jags just couldn't muster any offense. Ivory did rip off a 47-yard run, but did nothing on his remaining carries. […]

C.J. Prosise (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Seahawks were eager enough to get C.J. Prosise on the field that they deactivated recent acquisition C.J. Spiller for Week 7 and only gave one carry to backup Alex Collins. The third-round pick out of Notre Dame didn't see much action, carrying the ball once for […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Whether Devontae Booker sees more carries on Monday Night Football remains to be seen, but he is among the top handcuffs to own at the moment. Booker hasn't necessarily seen his usage increase, with just five rushes last week, but he has shown more burst than C.J. Anderson. Coach […]

Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Jones' lost fumble turned into Chris Thompson's repeated gains. Jones fumbled straight into the end zone on a goal-line opportunity and only saw 10 carries on the day as a result. Thompson then saw a jump in carries, turning 12 runs into 73 yards. His […]

Monday Morning NFL Recap - Week 7 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

Fantasy Mad Libs: Starts and Sits for Week 7

One of the greatest criticisms of the NFL, besides anything that happened in the commissioners office in 2015, is that the Pro Bowl game is virtually meaningless.
