BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Before this season, Bryan Walters had nine receptions for 84 yards and no touchdowns in his two-year career, and he remained an unknown until he emerged as a slot threat in Week 5.

Full Story »Cecil Shorts Continues to Impress
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts has produced more with Brian Hoyer under center, so it comes as good news that Hoyer was locked in as Houston's starting quarterback going forward. Shorts is still heavily unowned, despite catching 1o of his sixteen targets for 150 yards over the last […]
Full Story »Jamison Crowder Is a Bright Spot in Washington's Offense
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder is quickly becoming one of Kirk Cousins' favorite targets.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham caught two touchdowns over his first three games, but then went without a catch in a low-scoring Week 5 loss to the Bills.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Stefon Diggs has silently totaled 216 yards on 13 catches during his two games of action for the Vikings.

Full Story »Could James Starks Really Spell Eddie Lacy?
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks was an own-able commodity as Eddie Lacy's handcuff, but no one saw Starks as a threat to steal playing time without a major injury to Lacy. Starks just went off for 117 total yards and two touchdowns in Week 6, and […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues, Deep Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Theo Riddick is averaging 7.2 fantasy points per game, most of which have come from the passing game.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: "Fitzmagic" had a rushing touchdown in Week 6, but he still would have been considered a success without it.
