BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 31% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another absolute disaster of a game for the Lions. At this point it is almost a guarantee that they will be down and down big and that is when Riddick does most of his damage as a dynamic pass catcher. It […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The rookie bruiser should finally be back at 100% after a lengthy absence due to a concussion, and as his health returns so does his fantasy value.

Full Story »Bid Aggressively on DeAngelo Williams
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: He's already owned in most leagues, but if you're in one where he isn't, he has to be owned now. During the two weeks Bell was out, Williams somehow managed to be amongst the top fantasy running backs and is on his […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Orleans Darkwa would leave the game early on against the Saints, but once again he looked like a good running back on the NFL field. I'd be more than willing to take Darkwa on most rosters I have and hope that he […]

Full Story »Demaryius Thomas Goes Big for Broncos; Emmanuel Sanders Quiet
For nearly the entirety of the season, the narrative surrounding Peyton Manning has been that he’s simply too old to be considered a top-tier starting quarterback in the National Football League.
