We now find ourselves passing the quarter-mile marker in this fantasy football race (unless you play in a 17 week league and want to get technical on me), and the standings are really starting to take shape. Week 4 does not appear to be bringing gifts for those in need, though that's not to say […]
Full Story »Week 5 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Five The fourth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Jets toppled the Dolphins in London, while the Jay Cutler returned to the Bears to keep them from falling to the Raiders. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 4 was filled with some star-studded […]
Full Story »Kansas City Chiefs (KC, DEF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add As Streaming Defense OWNED IN: 53% of Fleaflicker Leagues A fantasy football team defense is usually only as good as its opponent. Sure there are units that are always must-starts (this year's Broncos defense may be an example). The Chiefs fall into the former category for me, coming off three-straight games where they […]

Hector Olivera will get more MLB seasoning by playing in the Puerto Rican Winter League for six weeks.

Full Story »Molina (Thumb) Likely On Cards Postseason Roster
Breathe easy, Cardinals fans. The St. Louis Cardinals are “optimistic” that Yadier Molina will be a part of the team’s postseason roster. The Cardinals catcher has missed the last two weeks after he sprained his left thumb while making a tag at home plate. If he’s healthy, it’s great news for the St. Louis rotation […]
Full Story »Pormeranz To Undergo Surgery On AC Joint
Oakland A’s starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left AC joint during the off-season. Pomeranz, 26, has dealt with an AC joint issue throughout the span of his five-year career. Apparently the issue has reached high enough threshold for him to go under the knife to fix it. There’s no reported […]

We're here to give you that life […]
Full Story »Add Charles Sims Off The Waiver Wire?
It's unfortunate that Doug Martin had such a good game on Sunday, because I was ready to claim Sims as a potential breakout candidate with the potential of taking the majority timeshare of the Tampa Bay backfield job. However, Martin's day of 106 rushing yards with a touchdown sets back Sims' march towards the top of […]
Full Story »Is Darren McFadden A Priority Waiver Wire Add?
Normally we don't list players who are owned at more than a 50% clip, but I'm considering McFadden as an exception. McFadden has mostly acted as the third running back in the Dallas system this year, clearly taking a back seat to Joseph Randle on the early downs and to Lance Dunbar on the passing […]
Full Story »Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I put Andrews in my "Wait and See" section in Week 4, not because I didn't think he was worthy of a pickup, but more-so because the Titans were on a bye and I wanted to see if they made a move during their […]
Full Story »Ronnie Hillman Needs To Be Added In All Leagues
We've heard about Hillman's big play potential since he entered the league, but when you look at his game log for the past three seasons you would never know about it. Long runs of 31, 19, and 37 yards from 2012-14 respectively, Hillman just hasn't broken off the big one very often/ever. That all changed […]
