BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Manziel’s Week 2 performance versus the Tennessee Titans was a strange but pleasant surprise.

BALLER MOVE: Add as Week 3 Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington has been surprisingly not terrible since the start of the season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Angel Pagan is healthy right now and even though that seems like a rarity he is a must play while he is sitting atop the San Francisco Giants lineup.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Segura has had an overall disappointing campaign that makes his seemingly breakout work in 2013 seem like a distant memory.
