Week 13 Deeper Sleepers - Playoff Drive: Dontrelle Inman, Scott Chandler, Brock Osweiler and More

We are almost at the regular season finish line. Every year I cannot wait for football to start, then the season comes to a close and I'm wondering where the heck the time went. Same rules as always - in this column we will be looking at NFL players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 13 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Tyrod Taylor, Dontrelle Inman, DeVante Parker & More!

Week 12 wasn't all that crazy as far as big names going down is concerned. That said, there are still plenty of guys who available in over half of leagues that easily qualify as being helpful. And as always, handcuffs are a big thing at this point in the year. Do note that this is […]

Week 13 Fantasy Football Fallers: Matt Ryan, Lamar Miller, Dez Bryant & More

We had some pretty interesting games this weekend. There were some serious duds being turned in on Thanksgiving (DeMarco Murray, Tony Romo, Dez Bryant Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb), leaving plenty of people to drown their sorrows of falling into an early hole with tons of food. Seriously, it could be worse. Without further ado, let's check […]

Week 13 Fantasy Football Risers: Philip Rivers, C.J. Anderson, Sammy Watkins & More!

Week 13 is bearing down on us, and in the fantasy football world that means most folks are going into the last game of the regular season for them. Going into the do or die week, we'd much rather feel like we've got players on our squad that are more prone to "do" rather than […]

Alfred Blue Worth Adding as Flex

BALLER MOVE: Add as RB3 or flex depth OWNED IN: 64% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Alfred Blue isn't the most talented running back you'll see on an NFL field, but if this season has shown us anything, it's that backups can shine when called upon. Just look at Thomas Rawls, DeAngelo Williams and Charcandrick West (or […]

Time to Unleash Jay Ajayi?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point, it may behoove the Dolphins to just run the ball 40 times a game. Ryan Tannehill has looked awful, as has the offense as a whole. OC Bill Lazor was fired today, and his removal should yield more touched […]

Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved […]

Bilal Powell a Must-Own Handcuff

BALLER MOVE: Add as Ivory Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory is the unquestioned top dog in New York, but Bilal Powell is a more-than-capable complement. Prior to his Week 4 injury, Powell had at least 10 carries in each game, and also had 13 catches over the three weeks. Since […]

James White In Line for More Looks in New England

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a […]

Theo Riddick Flexes His PPR Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Riddick sees very little work between the tackles, but his abilities as a pass-catcher are undeniable. If you're in a standard league, Riddick has less appeal due to his low touchdown total, but in any PPR format he is now a […]

Shaun Draughn Continues Being the Niner to Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Continuing to somehow show PPR Value, over the last 3 weeks Draughn has put up the 11th highest average per game amongst RBs in PPR. It seems consistent at this point that Draughn will put up 50 yards on the ground, […]

Finally Time to Fear Ameer?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Finally! The Lions coaches have come to the decision that they don't want to get fired, so Ameer Abdullah has been reinstated as the lead back. Although Riddick is obviously the 2 minute drill guy, Abdullah will be seeing the majority of the on […]

David Johnson Next Up for Cardinals

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Both Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington suffered injuries on Sunday, making David Johnson the next man up. He's already owned in many leagues thanks to a lot of time he spent vulturing from the two backs ahead of him, but he's still present […]

Who? What? Ware?

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware is a big "who?" kind of name. One of the best non-NFL employed talent evaluators Matt Waldman wrote in depth about Ware, and stated when Ware entered the draft that he could be a great NFL-caliber back. Well, Ware showed his […]

Week 12 Boom and Bust Candidates: Drew Brees, Odell Beckham Jr., LeSean McCoy & More

We’re at the point of the season where just one more win may get you into the postseason, and just one more loss may keep you out. It may be the most wonderful time of the year as far as holiday season, but in fantasy football land, this is the end of the line for […]

Week 12 Busts For Fantasy Football: Tyrod Taylor, Lamar Miller, Mark Ingram, & Tavon Austin

Week 12 Fantasy Football Busts Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) After being absolutely gouged by Aaron Rodgers in Week 3 (five touchdowns, 44.92 fantasy points), the Chiefs' defense has been drastically better. In each of the past five games, Bob Sutton's crew has grabbed at least one interception and allowed no more than one passing touchdown. In […]
