2015 Fantasy Football Week 7: Risers and Fallers From Week 6
Week 6 is in the books and we have further confirmation that Devonta Freeman is good, DeAndre Hopkins is really good, and Andy Dalton deserves to be taken seriously. We're getting awfully close to the midway point in the season, and it's time to really look at some recent trends and determine how legitimate they are. […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers for Week 7: Brandon Oliver, Stefon Diggs, Crockett Gillmore
Six weeks are in the books and a trend has already appeared in my weekly picks. It appears that the majority of my picks decide to break out a couple weeks after I select them as my deep sleeper for a particular week. For instance, in Week 1, Benjamin Watson was selected as a potential […]

EPL Matchday Nine: Match Of The Week Review
Newcastle United 6-2 Norwich City Wijnaldum Scores Four – Magpies Blowout the Canaries for First Victory of the Season Sunday, October 18th @ St. James’ Park Sunday is usually a day of rest – a sentiment the defenses certainly put into practice at St. James’ Park this past weekend. Despite being the only game on […]
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading. We saw Jeremy Maclin (concussion), Keenan Allen (hip), Sammy Watkins (ankle), Allen Robinson (knee), and others leave their games early. This meant […]
Week 7 Waiver Wire Overview: James Starks, Christine Michael & More
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Seven The sixth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Carolina did what few have been able to do in recent years and completed a comeback win against the Seahawks in their own stadium, while the Chargers fell just short of stopping the Packers win streak. And there's still […]
Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 7: Stefon Diggs, Cecil Shorts, Jamison Crowder and More
Week 6 is in the books, and there are officially no more win-less teams going into Week 7 after the Detroit Lions took down the Chicago Bears in overtime. This coming week is one that is loaded with wide receivers who are more than fantasy relevant being absent due to bye weeks. The Chicago Bears, Cincinnati […]
Week 7 Deeper Sleepers: Time to Take Stefon Diggs Seriously
Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Last week resulted in mixed success for those that followed along. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ben Watson, and Minnesota D/ST were excellent plays, while Willie Snead had a mediocre game and DeVante Parker was invisible (again). […]
Bryan Walters Has Emerged Out of Nowhere
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Before this season, Bryan Walters had nine receptions for 84 yards and no touchdowns in his two-year career, and he remained an unknown until he emerged as a slot threat in Week 5. Over the last two weeks, he has caught 12 balls […]
Cecil Shorts Continues to Impress
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts has produced more with Brian Hoyer under center, so it comes as good news that Hoyer was locked in as Houston's starting quarterback going forward. Shorts is still heavily unowned, despite catching 1o of his sixteen targets for 150 yards over the last […]
Jamison Crowder Is a Bright Spot in Washington's Offense
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder is quickly becoming one of Kirk Cousins' favorite targets. While the Redskins looked pretty awful during their 34-20 loss to the Jets, Crowder was targeted nine times in an ugly Week 6 loss to the Jets, totaling four catches for 40 yards. […]
Dorial Green-Beckham Has Star Potential
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham caught two touchdowns over his first three games, but then went without a catch in a low-scoring Week 5 loss to the Bills. Then, the rookie had his most productive performance in Week 6, catching three balls for 57 yards on […]
Michael Floyd Picking up the Pace
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Michael Floyd caught five balls for 50 yards and a touchdown (almost two) in Arizona's Week 6 loss to the Steelers. With Carson Palmer spreading the ball around well, Floyd could be a nice plug-and-play option in Week 7 against the Ravens, who […]
Stefon Diggs Is Making a Name for Himself
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Stefon Diggs has silently totaled 216 yards on 13 catches during his two games of action for the Vikings. Diggs has been Teddy Bridgewater's go-to option lately, and Mike Wallace even compared him to Antonio Brown. Diggs is still available in a ton of […]
Jeff Janis the Next Man Up in Green Bay
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ty Montgomery suffered an injury in the middle of his matchup and had to be carted off the field. That doesn't bode well for his chances to suit up the next time the Packers play in Week 8, making his replacement […]
Can You Dig Stefon Diggs (WR, MIN)?
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In two games starting for the Charles Johnson-less Vikings, Stefon Diggs has amassed 13 receptions for 216 yards. Those numbers might not be exciting, but the consistent usage and high yardage is promising. Diggs might not have the talent on his own […]

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays
Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]

Buy Low/Sell High for Fantasy Football Week 6 (Part 2)
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, then swap them out once they get hot and their value skyrockets. Everyone knows this method, but that doesn't mean you still can't […]
