Week 2 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Booms: QB Sam Bradford, PHI: I had Bradford in this space last week, and while he didn't boom in the first half, he came pretty close to doing so in the second half. The Eagles offense looking out of sync in its first regular season game on the road was not a shock. However, there is no […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Percy Harvin impressed in his Week 1 performance against the Indianapolis Colts, hauling in 5-of-5 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown.

Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't be fooled by the fact T.Y Hilton is questionable for week 2 versus the New York Jets: Moncrief is a legit option in Indy's passing attack.
