Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 8 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 8 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings targets. An introduction is not really all that necessary, as the title of this DFS article pretty much sums up what is going to be discussed. It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

EPL -Saturday's Preview and Predictions for Round 11

Another week in the English Premier League and as predicted here at http://www.rotoballer.com/, Tim Sherwood has become the latest managerial casualty. We have a full weekend of fixtures in the EPL starting with a super seven of matches this Saturday and the question now is, do we have another managerial change in the offing? Editor’s Note: […]

Buy Lows & Sell Highs: Drew Brees, Davante Adams, Martavis Bryant, Zach Ertz & More

After reviewing Week 7's Buy Low/Sell High list, it's time to look at the best candidates to buy and sell for Week 8. I had a much easier time with the "Buy Low" list than I did the "Sell High" this week. I worry that we're starting to really find out who will be a […]

Week 8 Risers and Fallers: Alfred Blue, Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle & More

Week 7 is in the books, and there are still five undefeated teams left standing in the NFL. Fantasy football managers with a matching 7-0 record are just as boastful, but the fantasy gods are vengeful and do not take kindly to such hubris. Even the teams at the top of the table need to manage […]

Buy Lows & Sell Highs: Carlos Hyde, Jeremy Maclin, T.Y Hilton, Latavius Murray & More

Welcome to our Week 8 buy low / sell high, where we look to provide fantasy football trade advice. The half-way point of most fantasy seasons is a thing of the past, and as the weather gets colder and the playoffs get closer it's time for everyone to make that final push. There's no better […]

Odell Beckham, Julian Edelman, Travis Benjamin: Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?

Similar to this week's running backs piece, it's also become increasingly difficult to identify star wide receivers who are struggling at this point in the season. That leaves us with some odd selections for our Warning Signals piece heading into Week 8. You're going to see two names that don't exactly scream panic and one […]

Eddie Royal (WR, Chi.) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In Week 6, before the Bears' bye week, veteran wideout Eddie Royal looked spry and fully recovered from an ankle sprain that had him "questionable" all week. He caught five of seven targets for 49 yards as Bears quarterback Jay Cutler continued to show great […]

Albert Wilson (WR, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Albert Wilson - WR, K.C. BALLER MOVE: Add only in deepest leagues for WR depth OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Albert Wilson received increased playing time last week when top wideout Jeremy Maclin was a late scratch Sunday morning due to concussion symptoms. At 5'9", Wilson is more of a slot receiver. He should […]

Jose Mourinho Is Now The Worried One

Experts say one week is a long time in football. What about one month? Not sure what the experts say but the beleaguered Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho would probably say it has been a hellish eternity and given Chelsea's season thus far, who could blame him? Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of […]

La Liga - A Three Horse Race Again?

For the last three seasons, the Spanish La Liga has seen the same three teams occupy the top three slots – Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. This year it's only taken nine games for the 2015-16 La Liga table to assume an all too familiar looking demeanor. Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Fallers From Week 7

Week 7 is just another page in the history books. Eddie Lacy was on a bye so he couldn't disappoint yet again, but we still had plenty of notable performances that demand context and further investigation. Again, we're not here to talk about how good Julio Jones is or how much Nick Foles stinks. Without further […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Risers From Week 7

Week 7 has come and gone, and now it is time to look back at some players who really saw their stock jump thanks to their performance this past weekend. Some players have just been forgotten about due to a bye, some quiet weeks, or an injury, but here we are to peek in at […]

Premier League Weekend Review - Matchday Ten

Vardy Keeps Goal Streak Alive In Victory Leicester City 1-0 Crystal Palace Jamie Vardy is a man on fire. The Fox striker netted his league leading 10th Premier League goal in Leicester’s 1-0 win over visiting Crystal Palace. Vardy, who has a firm lead in the pursuit of the Golden Boot, scored in his seventh […]

Roddy White (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re in deeper leagues you could do a lot worse than Roddy White. He is starting to work back into the Falcons’ receiving rotation, though he is still only averaging four targets per game, and it doesn’t seem like that […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 7 was very disappointing for Dorial Green-Beckham and his owners, as well as the Tennessee Titans. Green-Beckham was coming off of a Week 6 game against Miami that saw his role expand, as he got three receptions on six targets […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle may still not have been 100% with his hamstring going into Week 7, though he should be darn close. He continues to average about six targets per game, and unfortunately he could only turn two of those into receptions […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Leonard Hankerson was ruled out of Week 7’s game against the Titans with a hamstring injury. The injury, combined with his past two games being poor (one of which he also exited early thanks to an injury) have meant that his […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Nate Washington had a heck of a game on Sunday against the Dolphins as he racked up garbage time stats. This may totally overshadow what Cecil Shorts has done to date. He missed the Week 7 game with a hamstring […]

Kamar Aiken (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely with his PCL injury requiring more rehabilitation, Aiken is in line to continue seeing snaps for Baltimore. He is still lining up as the primary #2 receiver for the Ravens after Steve Smith returned to action, […]

Brandon LaFell Hopes to Knock Rust Off

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: That was certainly an inauspicious start to Brandon LaFell's 2015 season on Sunday. In fairness, he was very rusty and he did not have an easy matchup against the Jets. That being said, his quarterback is still Tom Brady, and I'm buying […]

Stefon Diggs Has Emerged as a Star

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Minnesota Vikings appear to have found an amazing wide receiver in their ranks, with Stefon Diggs showing that he is a really great route runner who was able to step up into Charles Johnson's starting spot and ball out. It was worrisome […]

The Hustle - Week 7 Buy Low/Sell High Review (PPR)

Before I dive into my recap, I'd like to touch on Lamar Miller. One of the first things I wrote in my article last week was to “close this post and ignore it completely." I hope you at least ignored my advice to sell high on Lamar Miller. Before we decide whether or not Miller can […]

Marvin Jones Continues to Produce for Cincinnati

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is one of the best in football right now, and he has plenty of weapons from which to choose on any given play. While Marvin Jones may not be a shiny name like A.J. Green, Tyler Eifert or even […]

Michael Crabtree to Benefit from Raiders' Air Attack

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 61% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Michael Crabtree deserves to be one of the hottest names on the waiver wire, but unfortunately, 61 percent of people may have beaten you to the punch. The Oakland Raiders have no problem airing it out quite a bit, and rookie Amari […]

The MLS Playoffs Are Imminent - Fasten Your Seat Belts!

Has Michael Floyd Bounced Back?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After the first three weeks of the 2015 season, if you had told me that I'd be featuring Michael Floyd in a wide receiver waive wire article, I would have called you crazy. Floyd had exactly two catches for 30 yards […]

Nate Washington a Garbage-Time Stud?

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 9% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: How about a little love for Nate Washington? The 32-year-old wide receiver was simply a favorite target for Brian Hoyer in their brutal loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Yes, the Houston Texans were literally playing from behind the entire game, but […]
