Week 15 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Zach Miller and Tyler Kroft

Unless you are in a fantasy football league that does not believe in a postseason and goes by cumulative point totals (which is silly), your league is in the thick of the playoffs and hopefully your squad qualified for them. This is not the time to make a boneheaded Leon Lett-like decision if you are […]

Week 14 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Luke Willson, Will Tye and Clive Walford

Week 14 is the last week of the regular season in many fantasy leagues, while it could also be the opening round of the playoffs in other leagues depending on the postseason structure.  So this is not the time to make a fantasy lineup mistake. If you still haven’t plugged the gaping hole left behind […]

Week 13 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Scott Chandler, Kyle Rudolph and Coby Fleener

Week 12 was the most disastrous week for tight ends in the NFL this season. The body count was sky-high and littered with elite names.  Seattle’s Jimmy Graham is out for the season with a knee injury,  New England's Rob Gronkowski is week-to-week with his own knee injury according to ESPN and Cincinnati’s Tyler Eifert’s status is unknown […]

Heath Miller (TE, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues for TE-deprived owners OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Steelers tight end Heath Miller has had an uneven season, intermittently sidetracked by injury, ineffectiveness, and the loss of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at various points in 2015. Before last Sunday’s tilt in Seattle, Miller had submitted two fantasy-starter worthy performances. After […]

Week 12 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Brent Celek, Vernon Davis and Zach Miller

There are no more byes to worry about, boys and girls. All healthy tight ends will be on the field this week and ready to rack up yards and touchdowns for their fantasy owners.  So combing your league’s waiver wire for a decent tight end is probably not as necessary as it has been over […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 11 Pickups and Adds: Ertz, Gillmore and Celek

The final week of teams being on bye is here, and fantasy owners are celebrating like Rex Ryan did when his Buffalo Bills beat the New York Jets last Thursday.

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 10 Pickups and Adds

Fantasy football gets a little more back to normal this week after owners had to suffer through a bye week where a half-dozen teams were off. You're probably not sweating as much this week with your Tight End. San Diego’s Antonio Gates is the most valuable tight end that is off, and most of the quality […]

Marcus Mariota and Delanie Walker Make Good Bye Week Fill-Ins vs Saints

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota returns to action today against the New Orleans Saints after a knee injury that caused him to miss two straight games.  Mariota was injured on a controversial play by Miami Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon.  The rookie quarterback was believed to have had a grade two MCL sprain, but a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you play in a PPR league and Charles Clay is somehow still available on your waiver wire I'd pick him up and start him this week.  Tyrod Taylor will start for the Bills this week after missing Weeks 6 & 7 with a […]

Eight NFL Players To Drop From Your Fantasy Football Roster

Each week, we'll be bringing you a list of players who are no longer "ownable" in many fantasy football leagues. Obviously, this list has to be interpreted with a grain of salt, depending on the type of league you play in. If you're in a 14 team league with 5  bench spots, many of these […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 9 Pickups and Adds

Week 9 is when the most fantasy football owners around the world will be searching for tight ends on the waiver wire. Not only is Week 9 the only week during the NFL season that six teams are on bye instead of the usual two-to-four, the caliber of the tight ends taking the week off […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues & as Bye Week Fill-In OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  When the Saints traded Jimmy Graham this offseason there was a lot of talk about Josh Hill being 'the guy' who would step in.  Unfortunately for many fantasy owners that has not happened. Instead veteran Benjamin Watson has emerged […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups and Adds

Fantasy owners are going to be without Washington’s Jordan Reed, Buffalo’s Charles Clay, Jacksonville’s Julius Thomas and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz this week. That’s a lot of receptions, yards and touchdowns to lose as fantasy teams enter the meat of their seasons. There is variety when it comes to some of the available tight ends on […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 7 Pickups and Adds

No Tyler Eifert, no Martellus Bennett, no Richard Rodgers…no problem? Four more teams are on bye this week, so fantasy owners are scrambling like Russell Wilson to fill in their blanks at the tight end position.  And with Eifert (342 yards, six TD), Bennett (292 yards, two TD) and Rodgers (189, two TD) having the […]

How Is Gary Barnidge Still Available? Add Him Before It's Too Late

Don't look now, but Gary Barnidge (TE, Cleveland Browns) is lighting up the fantasy football scoreboards. Quarterback Josh McCown the past three weeks has completed passes to Barnidge early and often and has become one of  McCown's favorite targets. Not bad for the former 5th round pick from Louisville in 2008 who has been a no-name until […]

BALLER MOVE: Pickup in 12+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: When the Green Bay Packers lost Andrew Quarless to an MCL sprain in week 3 there was a hole to fill in the offense.  The player who has stepped up has been Richard Rodgers.  In the following two weeks since losing Quarless to injury Rodgers […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Jason Witten owners are hanging their heads this week.  The Dallas Cowboys are on bye, which means Witten and his 30 receptions, 271 yards and two touchdowns cannot be used.  Luckily he is the only major tight end on bye this week. There are three tight ends available on most waiver wires this week that […]

Gary Barnidge Explodes Again, Has Emerged As Legit TE1

For the 3rd week in a row, Gary Barnidge has posted solid fantasy football stat lines. During that time, Gary Barnidge has had 26 targets, 20 catches, three touchdowns, and receiving 319 yards. It is very clear that while Josh McCown is the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Barnidge will continue to get targets. Coming […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 5: Anthony Dixon, Willie Snead, Maxx Williams

Another week and even more injury news and fantasy controversies have risen. People, we are only a quarter of the way through the season and my fantasy football team consists of Dez Bryant, Ben Roethlisberger, Jordan Reed, and LeSean McCoy. Anybody want to trade me one of their players? I could certainly use the help […]

The Cat’s Pajamas: Lions’ TE Brandon Pettigrew Looks to Play On Sunday

While Matthew Stafford—complete with backwards cap and all—might be just arrogant enough to claim he’s the proverbial “cat’s pajamas,” this week, the title belongs to none other than Brandon Pettigrew. Why? Well, though little’s been accomplished in the numbers column, after a heartbreaking Monday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks on a blown-call, Detroit’s looking […]

Antonio Gates is Your Must-Add Tight End Pickup of the Week

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN:: 53% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: August, 2014. I sat in my friend's backyard, in the midst of our hotly-anticipated keeper league draft.

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 4: Cameron Artis-Payne, Cecil Shorts, Gary Barnidge

Another week in and I hope everyone is doing better than me in their fantasy leagues this season. Going forward, I now have Dez Bryant, LeSean McCoy and Ben Roethlisberger riding the bench for at least the next couple weeks. I guess it was a good thing I traded for Larry Fitzgerald. If you are […]

How Ben Roethlisberger's Injury Impacts The Steelers

Are Your Steelers Still Valuable Without Big Ben? The worst nightmare of every Pittsburgh fan (and Ben Roethlisberger owner) became a stark reality Sunday afternoon. Everything about it screamed "season-ending". There was the sack by Mark Barron, illegal but not intentional in nature, vaguely reminiscent of similar tackles which chopped down Carson Palmer and Tom Brady […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 3: Josh Robinson, Rishard Matthews, Scott Chandler

Week 2 is the in books and a lot of strange things have happened already. DeMarco Murray, an early-round pick, has rushed for only 11 yards this season. Meanwhile, Travis Benjamin, who went mostly undrafted, has three receiving TDs on only six receptions. It may be time to get some sleepers on your roster as […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 2: Karlos Williams, Cole Beasley, Jared Cook

Week 1 of this brand new NFL season is already in the books, and injuries and other issues may be keeping your drafted starters out for this week's games.
