Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 6

If you recall the intro to last week's edition of Warning Signals, you'd know that we're firmly entrenched into the portion of the NFL season where panic is going to trump patience. For better or for worse, players are starting to show their true colors in regard to their season long outlooks. I should reiterate […]

Fantasy Football Buy Low & Sell High Candidates for Week 6

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 […]

Welcome to Week 6 everyone. Leagues are starting to separate the upper echelon and the bottom feeders and it's important to not stay complacent in this time.

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Don’t forget just how effective James White can be with Tom Brady back in the mix. With Brady slinging the pigskin, White totaled a season-high 89 yards, with 63 of them coming through the air on four receptions. The world is just […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker looked good in Week 5, but the main draw is that he was used enough (six rushes, six targets) to project well moving forward into a matchup against the Chargers. San Diego’s defense just allowed both DeAndre Washington and Jalen […]

Orleans Darkwa (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Orleans Darkwa had just seven carries for 11 yards in Week 5, but keep in mind that the Packers possess the top rushing defense by far. The Giants have a tough matchup against the Ravens' stout defense next week, but he is […]

Jay AJayi (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: On the one hand, Jay Ajayi got the vast majority of carries in the Dolphins' backfield (13 for 42 yards) and found the end zone for a score.  In fact, he had a potential second touchdown called back on a holding penalty. […]

Bobby Rainey (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the last two weeks, Bobby Rainey seems to have become Eli Manning's safety valve. Rookie Paul Perkins has shown some burst and is an intriguing prospect, but is a liability in pass protection. The veteran Rainey will likely see the most snaps […]

Jalen Richard (RB, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Latavius Murray out, Jalen Richard saw even more carries than anticipated in Week 5. Fellow rookie DeAndre Washington got the start, but Richard saw just one fewer carry and one more reception. He ended the game against San Diego with eight […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Asiata is the master of vulturing short touchdowns, and he did so again in Week 5. He actually wound up with 55 yards on 11 carries, averaging double the yards per carry of backfield mate Jerick McKinnon. He is an unreliable play […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenneth Dixon’s NFL debut was as unremarkable as you could imagine. Dixon carried the ball three times and ended with -1 yards. For what it's worth, he also caught one pass for six yards. Dixon is being brought along slowly, but should […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory has been discarded by enough frustrated owners that he is now available in half of fantasy leagues. He certainly hasn't shown anything to deserve a roster spot anywhere, but RB-starved teams may want to take a chance that he will […]

Monday Morning NFL Recap - Week 5 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

Listen, man, I'm just straight-up done.  I am one hundred percent over this, and after this most recent presidential debate, I was inspired to say something.  Not about the election  - God no, that debate was a hot mess.  But it did make me feel like yelling incoherently for theatrical effect at something that made […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids (Week 5)

The NFL schedule impacts each team in drastic ways. The Eagles opened with the Browns and Bears at home, then destroyed Pittsburgh.
