Week 11 Fantasy Football Risers: Eli Manning, Charcandrick West, Michael Floyd & More

Now we're getting towards being two-thirds of the way through the fantasy football season and there's still plenty of movement among numerous players' stocks. While we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week of football serves to remind us that "any given Sunday" is a real thing. We have […]

Be Patient with James White

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We all knew James White wouldn't be as good as Dion Lewis, but the pedestrian outing on Sunday afternoon had to be cause for concern for his fantasy owners. Let's take a closer look at why James White wasn't a factor […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 11

I really thought NFL Doomsday was a once a year thing. In Week 3 I wrote, "NFL Doomsday has come and gone. Hopefully that will be the last week of its kind this season." Unfortunately I was wrong. This week was more devastating though. How did the Packers lose to the Lions? How did the Bengals […]

Don't Ya Miss Out on Jamize Olawale

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 0% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You can't use him this week because he is on bye, but he has clearly replaced Andre Williams in the Giants running back rotation. As a Giants fan I have no clue why the team isn't leaning on Rashad Jennings on […]

The Other Run DMC: Dexter McCluster

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While I continue to suggest picking up Tennessee's starting running back, Antonio Andrews, I do believe that Dexter McCluster can be used in a pinch, especially during the last week of byes. Again, Tennessee has Jacksonville (twice) and Oakland over the […]

What the Hell, Take a Shot on Joique Bell

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It was certainly not a pretty week for Bell, who totaled only 35 yards on the day, but it is the 16 total touches that has me intrigued. Granted, the Lions were up, surprisingly, for a majority of this game and […]

Hang on to Antonio Andrews

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I thumped my chest last week and continued to pump the tires of Antonio Andrews headed into week 10's matchup against the undefeated Carolina Panthers. Andrews disappointed with only 8 yards on 11 carries, but I'm not going to back down from my […]

This is the Draughn You're Looking For

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 7% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Star Wars reference aside, Shaun Draughn is looking like the back to own in San Francisco. I mentioned Draughn last week as he entered his week 10 bye coming off a 20 touch, 96 yard performance in his first appearance as a […]

Week 11 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Draughn, Bell and McCluster

Week 11 doesn't seem very special, but there is some significance this season. This week is the final week of bye weeks with the Giants, Saints, Steelers, and Browns all taking the week to rest up for the season's stretch run. It also marks the beginning of the homestretch for most regular season's in fantasy […]

Week 10 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The Fall of a Legend: Peyton Manning

The adage goes that Father Time is undefeated, and on Sunday he claimed another victim. Peyton Manning was simply terrible against the Kansas City Chiefs. The future Hall of Famer threw four interceptions and had absolutely nothing behind his throws. It was so bad that the Broncos turned to backup quarterback Brock Osweiler. After the […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 11 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Danny Amendola, Matt Jones, Tyrod Taylor & More

With each passing week of the NFL season, the waiver wire options are going to get thinner and thinner. Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out, have done so. Injuries really are the biggest source of pickups. It becomes […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in deeper PPR leagues Owned in: 73% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Regardless of the letters "R-B" that occupy Shane Vereen's position, it is safe to say that he brings home the bacon to fantasy football managers as a pass-catcher who happens to get a few carries every game. In nine games with the Giants […]

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season.
