BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 30.5% of ESPN Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: Meyers Leonard has been a pretty hot name this off season in the fantasy basketball world, but it looks like a lot of owners got cold feet when it came to actually drafting him. I actually own him in the RotoBaller […]
Full Story »Matthew Stafford Is a Happy Camper and a Carlos Hyde Injury Update
When the Detroit Lions fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, my immediate reaction was “this means more work for rookie running back Ameer Abdullah.” While I still believe that to be true, nobody seems to be happier about the move than quarterback Matthew Stafford. According to the Detroit Free Press, one of the reasons head coach […]
Full Story »Antonio Gates Could Miss Several Weeks; Phillip Dorsett Out 4-6 Weeks
If you held onto San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates through his four game suspension to start the 2015 season, you probably felt like it paid off once he returned. In the two games he played thus far this season, he caught 18 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns. The 35-year-old once again […]
Full Story »Josh McCown (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Consider as cheap QB option in DFS OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Approach this one with caution. Even if he wasn't nursing a shoulder injury, Cleveland Browns starter Josh McCown would be a dicey proposition against an Arizona Cardinals defense that leads the NFL with 12 interceptions. But if you're feeling a bit […]
Full Story »John Henson (PF/C, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add for Blocks or Rebounds OWNED: 20% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS:This is more of a situational pick up. If you are thin in the Forward/ Center department I would definitely suggest taking a look at John Henson. Although last year his minutes were extremely inconsistent, the Bucks signed him to a lucrative contract this summer […]
Full Story »Malcom Floyd (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Drop in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes something doesn't feel good, but we have to do it anyway. This is where we're at with Malcom Floyd. The veteran San Diego Chargers wideout is simply not producing enough to justify a roster spot in most season-long leagues. I say most […]
Full Story »Doug Baldwin (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Consider for GPP lineups in DFS OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy football can be frustrating and stressful enough on its own. If you're relying on a Seattle Seahawks pass-catcher, that's only going to make things more infuriating. Through seven games this season, the Seahawks have had four different players finish as […]
Full Story »Zac Stacy (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Chris Ivory in deeper leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, we all know what the most valuable fantasy asset is for any running back - opportunity. So news of starter Chris Ivory's hamstring flareup in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the New England Patriots immediately put backup Zac Stacy on […]

The injuries are growing as we near the mid-point of the NFL season. Two players universally owned in standard fantasy leagues are expected to miss a couple of games.

The Arizona Cardinals have become one of the most fantasy friendly teams in the NFL. Many fantasy matchups were won or lost late in Week 7 thanks to the Cardinals playing in this week’s Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer continued his trend of being a consistent source of fantasy production passing […]
Full Story »FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and […]
Full Story »Week 8 Waiver Wire Overview: Darren McFadden, Stefon Diggs, Orleans Darkwa & More
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Eight The seventh Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. Miami finally began playing like the uber-talented team they were projected to be, while the Bills continued to struggle in London. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 7 saw a gruesome season ending injury […]
Full Story »Week 7 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
The most common text I sent this Sunday was “this is by far the ugliest week of football of the year” and I don’t think that’s even up for debate right now. From top to bottom, from Thursday night to Sunday night, nearly every game had some serious flaws. In a weird sort of way, […]
Full Story »2015 In Review: Miguel Cabrera
For virtually his entire career, Miguel Cabrera has been elite. Coming into 2015, he had driven in 100 runs every season of his career (excepting his abbreviated rookie campaign), hit below .310 exactly once, and had never spent a day on the disabled list. This combination of perennial excellence and durability made him one of […]
