Cordarrelle Patterson to Get Another Chance With Vikings

Have you already given up on Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson? Most people have. But the former first round draft pick will get another chance to prove himself now that Jarius Wright has been ruled out 1-2 weeks with a hand injury. Vikings starting receiver Charles Johnson is also batting a rib injury which […]

Victor Cruz (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

UPDATED at 2PM ET: Cruz's status is in doubt for Week 4. We have changed his status "Add in 12+ Team Leagues" to "Continue Stashing" BALLER MOVE: Continue Stashing OWNED IN: 73% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Now that Victor Cruz is medically cleared to play, we should see him suit up this week versus the Buffalo Bills. The big question is […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Risers

Many were very worried about whether Mike Evans would get on the same page with Jameis Winston, as well as be used effectively by Lovie Smith and company in Tampa. Well, those questions weren't really answered cleanly. Evans actually finished Week 3 tied with Steve Smith for the third most targets on the week with […]

Golden Tate (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Fallers

The Lions have not looked too good so far, and Matthew Stafford being banged up helps nothing. That being said, Golden Tate has not started this year strong. Tate's line so far in 2015: 24 targets, 15 receptions, 161 yards and 0 touchdowns. Another piece of this that scares me is that out of those […]

Fantasy Football Fallers - Carlos Hyde, Anquan Boldin, Colin Kaepernick

The entire San Francisco offense is on my fallers list following Week 3. I like doing this. Don't hate on blanket statements, they can be efficient sometimes. It shouldn't be news to anyone that the 49ers were absolutely embarrassed in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers are an interesting case. One couldn't get much […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Risers

Maclin and his owners were suffering with a big fat goose egg after one half of play on Monday Night Football. Then he exploded in the second half, finishing with 11 targets, 8 receptions, 141 yards and a touchdown. Now, it's not promising at all in my eyes that it took a huge hole for […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Risers

Rishard Matthews is one of those guys who was pretty easy to look at after two weeks of decent stat lines and write off as fluky. If you read this last week, you hopefully already snagged him, but all the same this is a guy who deserves attention because of the aura of skepticism about […]

Week 3 NFL Recap: Injuries & Game by Game Analysis

Is it me or has the 2015 NFL fantasy season been predominantly determined by injuries and underperforming superstars? Nearly every game on the slate has a storyline featuring the injury bug or a lackluster showing from a highly drafted stud. Either way, the goal as per usual here is to make heads or tails of […]

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 […]

Rueben Randle (NYG, WR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues (FAAB Bid: $6 - 9) OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Victor Cruz is reportedly coming back in Week 4, but this shouldn't really eat into Rueben Randle's fantasy potential moving forward. While most of you who watched Thursday Night Football this past week saw a lucky bounce lead to […]

Premier League Roundup: Matchday Seven's Top Three Games

Tottenham (and the Referees) Hand Manchester City Its Second Consecutive Loss Tottenham 4-1 Manchester City Saturday, September 26th @ White Hart Lane, London What a day it was to be a club in North London. While their neighborhood rivals took down the undefeated Foxes (more on that below), Spurs defeated the heavily favored Sky Blues […]

Michael Crabtree (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 68% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Crabtree has recently emerged as a reliable fantasy option. The 28-year-old former Texas Tech standout is attempting to reinvent himself in Oakland after an erratic six-year stay across the bay with the 49ers. He was immediately thrust into the second wideout spot […]

Donte Moncrief Needs To Be Owned in All Leagues

Donte Moncrief is another young wide receiver climbing the depth chart in recent weeks. Moncrief is currently benefitting from a struggling Andre Johnson, who put up a goose egg in the receptions column in Week 3. As the Colts' number two wideout behind T.Y. Hilton, Moncrief has racked up 200 yards and three scores in […]

The Triumphant Return of Martavis Bryant?

Martavis Bryant solidified himself as the WR2 in Pittsburgh last season. However, Bryant was suspended for the first four games of 2015. He should reclaim that role upon return in Week 5. The excitement surrounding his return may be diluted with the news of Ben Roethlisberger's knee injury, but that shouldn't scare fantasy owners away. […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Over the first three weeks of the season, Rishard Matthews has emerged as a clear WR2 in Miami behind Jarvis Landry. The fourth-year wideout caught 41 passes in 2013, but only reeled in 12 passes from Ryan Tannehill last season. Through three games, Matthews already […]

Allen Hurns (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Allen Hurns has been the most efficient receiver for the Jaguars so far this season, catching 11 of his 15 targets for 198 yards. In a full slate of games, that adds up to over 1,000 yards. The Jaguars have not had a […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Between Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett, the Texans have the most passing attempts of any team in the NFL through Week 3. That might change once Arian Foster returns, but Cecil Shorts should still see his fair share of looks. His 29 targets […]

Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks on the Giants' Radar

The New York Giants must not feel 100 percent comfortable with the fact that Victor Cruz is expected back for week 4. According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, the team has scheduled workouts with wide receivers Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks. It seems unlikely that the team would sign either man until they get to see […]

Week 4 Wide Receivers: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

This week, we will take a look at seven sleeper wide receivers, each of whom have worked their way into the number two receiver role on their respective teams. All of these wideouts are young and seem to have made large improvements as of late, either at the end of last year or over the […]

Start Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams, Both Active Tonight

After battling ankle injuries throughout the week, both Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams are officially active for tonight's Monday Night Football matchup versus the Kansas City Chiefs. There is no guarantee on exactly how healthy they are, or how many snaps they will play, but fantasy owners should still be starting both players in their […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Week 3 Monday Night Booms

The Chiefs offense simply doesn't take a lot of shots down field, and quarterback Alex Smith tends to be on the more conservative side. Maclin is one of those Chiefs wide receivers that hasn't caught a touchdown pass for over a year now, yet he has lead the team in targets this season and looks […]

La Liga - Spanish Primera Division Week 6

Whilst a record number of Catalans were casting their ballots this weekend in a referendum to gain their independence from Spain, their preeminent footballing club was attempting to regain their position back at the top of La Liga once more. Editor’s Note: Be sure to check out all of our articles, and read more about […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There's always a great feeling that comes from picking a player with less than 5% ownership, watching them explode the following week, and then being able to write about that player again. After a six catch 115 yard game against Jacksonville, Matthews punched in another six […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team / All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes you see a player on the waiver wire and you go, wait, what? What are they doing there? Marvin Jones is one of those players. Somehow he has less ownership than Rueben Randle, despite already breaking out just over a year […]

Breshad Perriman Droppable in Redraft Leagues

It's hard to feel sorry for an overrated and overpaid quarterback who already has a Super Bowl ring. But with that said, the Ravens have put quarterback Joe Flacco in a tough spot this season. Other than Steve Smith Sr., Flacco has nobody to throw the football too. Sure, he was supposed to have first-round […]

Alshon Jeffery to Suit Up in Week 4 vs. Raiders

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is expected to return to the football field in Week 4 against the Oakland Raiders. Jeffery has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. If you think this means you should immediately put Jeffery into your starting lineups, don't jump the gun. It seems highly unlikely at […]

English Premier League - Monday Match Preview

West Bromwich Albion vs. Everton Game Preview Monday, September 28th @ The Hawthorns West Brom Much like their opponent this Monday, West Brom have proved that they are not a team that will bend to the demands of bigger clubs. Much like Everton’s steadfast resistance to Chelsea’s chase of John Stones, West Brom repeatedly rejected […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Four The third Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Cardinals dismantled the 49ers hopes and dreams, while the Bills rebounded from a big loss against the Patriots while sticking it to the Dolphins. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 3 was filled with […]

A.J. Green and Steve Smith: Dueling Stars

The Cincinnati Bengals were beating the Baltimore Ravens 14-0 midway through the third quarter, with neither A.J. Green nor Steve Smith doing anything particularly noteworthy. Then, with about 6:30 remaining in the third quarter, Joe Flacco found Steve Smith on the right side, where he broke two tackles and scampered for a 50 yard touchdown. […]
