Full Story »Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back Le'Veon Bell Suspended 3 Games
The three game ban may seem hefty but we all knew the suspension was looming from 2014's incident with LeGarrette Blount. Bell will obviously be appealing the suspension but winning an appeal in the NFL is a rarity so expect the three game tag to stick. The Steelers signed DeAngelo Williams this off-season in a […]
Full Story »MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Brantley, Braun, Nathan, Mejia, Ventura and More
Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy owner.

Full Story »FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 4/10/15
Hey RotoBallers! I officially made the switch from NBA DFS to MLB, and I’m loving it so far. The lower scoring and instant score changes are an awesome change of pace. I’ve always been a diehard baseball fan too, so that helps. Hopefully we can take FanDuel and other DFS sites by storm and walk […]
Full Story »Jonathan Niese (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There will always be a place in Major League Baseball for crafty lefties who can eat innings and keep their teams in games. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for fantasy baseball leagues. The New York Mets' Jonathan Niese is a solid big league […]
Full Story »New York Jets Sign Running Back Stevan Ridley
The addition of running back Stevan Ridley to the New York Jets comes as a slight head-scratcher given the team’s current situation at the position. As it stands right now, both Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell remain on the roster, so it’s hard to envision a scenario where this becomes anything other than a three-headed monster […]
Full Story »Cleveland Browns Sign Tight End Rob Housler
In a move that will likely be overlooked by both football fans and fantasy pundits alike, the Cleveland Browns acquired tight end Rob Housler to replace Jordan Cameron. Cameron left Cleveland for the Miami Dolphins over the off-season and although he's a much better player than Housler, this move is a little more significant than […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: At the start of the fantasy baseball season, owners are always searching for the forgotten guys in the free agent pool.

Full Story »Billy Butler (1B/DH, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Target for 12+ Team Leagues / FAAB Bid: $5-8 OWNED IN: 56% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Billy Butler already has a strong ownership level at this point but there’s room for growth. Yes, his numbers have tailed off across the board since his monster 2012 campaign (.313/72/29/107), but there’s still value to be found off […]
Full Story »Michael Morse (1B/OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Morse has never really had the supporting cast and talent around him that he does now in Miami.

BALLE MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: ESPN: 15.3% owned, Yahoo: 4% owned, Fleaflicker: 52% owned ANALYSIS: Mike Moustakas probably shouldn’t be on the radar of standard league players.
