Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable. Meanwhile Alex Smith fell victim to game flow as the Chiefs went up 21-7 early behind a big Charcandrick West run and a defensive score. […]
Full Story »Week 16 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings
It's Week 16 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 16 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you […]
Full Story »Bilal Powell the Jet's Secret Receiving Weapon
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It appears the Jets have finally found a really nice way to utilize Powell out of the backfield. He is showing some strength in his runs and his usually reliable set of hands in the passing game. With defenses trying their […]
Full Story »Jameer Nelson (PG, DEN) and Kenneth Faried (PF, DEN) - DraftKings Stack for 12/22
Jameer Nelson (vs LAL, $5,400) The only team worse than the Nuggets at defending the point is….drumroll, please….the Lakers. Big surprise, right? Truth be told, I am not in love with Nelson here, but he is the best option in an otherwise poor field. Lou Williams presents some value but will most likely be splitting time with D’Angelo Russell […]
Full Story »James White "Catching On" to Patriot Way
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% owned in Fleaflicker <-- yes I cheated a smidge to include him. ANALYSIS: If James White is somehow still available in PPR leagues you need to get him. Even if standard though, he has proven that he is trusted by Tom Brady in the passing attack […]
Full Story »James Johnson (SF, TOR) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/22
James Johnson (vs DAL, $3,900) For simple value purposes, Johnson makes sense. Toronto has been reeling offensively and will need anyone to step up. The injury to DeMarre Carroll pushed Johnson into the starting lineup and the recent poor play of Lowry has forced him to become a scorer. Johnson has scored at least 26.25 DraftKings points over his […]
Full Story »Replacing Shady: K-Will/Gillislee Tandem
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues/Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: Karlos Williams: 46% owned in Fleaflicker / Mike Gillislee: 1% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: LeSean McCoy is reportedly now dealing with a torn MCL and is considered "week-to-week" with a hope that he returns for Week 17. What this means for you is that […]
Full Story »Spencer Ware Looks to Pound Browns
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware was an "emergency only" option at running back on Sunday (he registered two snaps), so Charcandrick West got to do all of the lifting. If Ware does come back into the fold for Week 16 though, Ware is the bigger guy who […]
Full Story »Restarting the Christine Michael Hype Train
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 17% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I can't believe I'm finally writing this, but here we are. Christine Michael is your add out of the Seahawks backfield after he ran with purpose against a crappy Cleveland defense, going for 84 yards on 16 carries. When you rush for […]
Full Story »NBA Centers: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Full Story »Jordan Cameron a Desperation TE Play in Week 16
BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming into the year, what fantasy owners worried most about Cameron was that he had suffered a couple concussions and might be one more away from missing an entire season or even retiring. But that hasn’t been his problem at all because […]
Full Story »Jared Cook Can Get Your Team Cookin' Week 16
BALLER MOVE: Play in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The St. Louis pass offense is downright offensive between its lack of talent, lack of execution and lack of creativity. But if the Rams have been doing anything right the past month-plus it has been attempting to force passes to Cook, something […]
Full Story »Will Tye is Your Guy
BALLER MOVE: Add as TE Streamer OWNED IN: 8% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It is time to jump on the fantasy bandwagon of the man with the short but sweet name. If you thought he was a fluke then you must have thought Devonta Freeman, Allen Robinson and Jordan Reed were flashes in the pan, […]
