Thursday night's game features a matchup between the division rival Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns. The Bengals are 7-0 and are one of the hottest teams in the NFL.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton had an MRI on his foot earlier this week, according to Indy Sports Central’s Mike Chappell.

Full Story »Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add as RB/flex depth OWNED IN: 68% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Some weeks it's Shane Vereen, some weeks it's Rashad Jennings. Or Andre Williams. Or now Orleans Darkwa. The New York Giants run game is certainly one of the most frustrating situations in all of fantasy football, but Vereen generally offers the most upside, due in no small […]

Baller Move: Add in 10+ team leagues Owned in: 30% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Whether you like Jameis Winston or not, it is hard to deny that he has been taking care of the ball more as the season has progressed.

Full Story »Jordan Reed (TE, WSH) - Waiver Wire Pickups
In every game he has played this year, Jordan Reed has been a focal point of the Redskins offense. Playing in just five games so far, Reed has 35 catches (on 47 targets) and 350 yards with three TDs. It looks like he could finish the year as a high-end TE, and given the lack of depth […]
Full Story »Demaryius Thomas, Mike Evans, T.Y. Hilton: Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?
After last week's rather odd selection of wide receivers, this week's list contains some more traditional names you're likely concerned about. Typically, wide receivers are a lot more consistent than their running back counterparts but considering how bizarre this fantasy season has been thus far, there's been some unexpected fluidity among the more reliable players. Now […]

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 58% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Public service announcement: feel free to write angry, scathing comments about this next claim, but I would venture to say that Stefon Diggs is the hottest player in fantasy football right now.

This past weekend, the English Premier League showed, once again, why it is one of the most watched football leagues in the world. Most of the games managed to enthrall and keep their audiences hooked until the last minute and even the draws (oh yeah, Manchester United!) were closely followed . Editor’s Note: Be sure […]
Full Story »Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Avoid unless desperate for QB2 OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Seven passing touchdowns in seven games. Fewer than 200 passing yards in six of his seven games. Todd Gurley's emergence as one of the NFL's preeminent running backs. These are just a few of the reasons why you should steer clear of St. […]
Full Story »Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add as TE2 but avoid in DFS OWNED IN: 56% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's never wise to overreact, good or bad, to a single game. So let's take Coby Fleener's seven-catch, 43-yard, one-touchdown Monday night performance with a grain of salt. The Indianapolis Colts tight end's most recent outing marked just the second time this […]
Full Story »Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add as RB depth but avoid in DFS OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's difficult to recommend any player in the Tennessee Titans' offense at this point.
