Two weeks ago, I tried to trade James Starks to the Eddie Lacy owner while Lacy was very questionable for his Monday Night matchup with the Chiefs. In return I asked for Duke Johnson. A fair trade price in my opinion, considering this teams RB situation. They shot me down and I didn't up my […]
Full Story »Week 5 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers
It's time to come clean. Time for a little honesty around here. Time to pay the piper if you will. Up until this week, up until the writing of this very column, I haven't been particularly excited about many running back waiver wire adds so far this season. My "Cream of the Crop" adds in […]
Full Story »Ryan Mallett: Don't Make the Same Mistake Houston Is Making
Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has announced that his team will stick with Ryan Mallett under center despite benching him for Brian Hoyer against the Atlanta Falcons in week 4. "He's our starting quarterback. [But] he needs to do better," O'Brien said. Just because the Texans are sticking with Mallett for another week doesn't […]
Full Story »Torrey Smith: Stick With Him or Drop Him?
Even when Torrey Smith was with the Baltimore Ravens he was a boom or bust wide receiver. He has never had the best hands, but he's always been a threat to score from anywhere on the field - especially when his quarterback can throw the deep ball. But through four games, the now San Francisco […]
Full Story »DeSean Jackson Ready to Return?
DeSean Jackson owners have been understandably upset with him thus far this season. The speedy wide receiver suffered a hamstring in week 1 and hasn't returned to the football field ever since. But now that the team will likely be without Jordan Reed in week 5, the team is ready to put Jackson back out […]
Full Story »Jordan Reed Likely to Miss Time After Another Concussion
Washington Redskins tight end has been great for his owners thus far this season, but that may be coming to an end. On Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles he suffered another concussion, a sprained ankle and a knee injury. Reed has a history of concussions; it's believed he has suffered at least five concussions since […]
Full Story »Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Green might see his value reduced next week, but I want to make a case here that he's been playing well. We all know that for the last two years the Chargers have been hyping him up, and we're now finally seeing what the results of that […]
Full Story »Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Man, let me tell you that I don't want to be endorsing Gary Barnidge. At 30 years old, with barely anything to show for his career, having a relevant fantasy season is so out of left field it's hard to believe. It's actually incredibly similar […]
Full Story »Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All the hype was pointed towards Saints receivers Brandon Coleman and Brandon Cooks during the offseason. Meanwhile, Willie Snead has somehow managed to outdo them both so far in the 2015 fantasy football season. Snead currently leads the team in yardage (240 receiving yards), despite […]
Full Story »Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman's name might bring up a lot of questions like "who is that?" - but rest assured, this is a player with some fantasy relevance. Inman was picked up by the Chargers from the CFL where he played two seasons that accumulated some not-so-impressive […]
Full Story »Tavon Austin (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not going to pretend that Tavon Austin deserves to be rostered but he should be considered. With the lacking amount of real talent on the Rams receiving squad, Tavon Austin stands out as the most obviously "talented" of the group. Essentially the argument for […]
Full Story »Ronnie Hillman (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's surprising how low this ownership is. C.J. Anderson shows no hold on his starting job as he's been plodding his way to an unspectacular 2015 season. Meanwhile, Hillman started coming around this week showing much better running than Anderson, even outside of his big 72 yard […]
Full Story »Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Johnson is another player who's hype took time to materialize. Johnson is coming off his best game to date as a pro with 8 rushes for 31 yards and 9 receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown. Duke is still stuck in a pass […]
Full Story »Sam Bradford (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There weren't any quarterback performances this week that look good enough to make a QB worth picking up other than Sam Bradford's. All the hype on Bradford took it's time to materialize, but against the Redskins it finally seemed like it came together. At least somewhat. Bradford threw 28 […]
Full Story »Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson, Sam Bradford - Week 4 Fantasy Studs
Aside from Devonta Freeman, there were a few other players who put up big points in Week 4 for fantasy football owners. Let's take a look at the top performers, assuming PPR formats and six-point touchdown scoring. Philip Rivers had a great game, completing 23-of-38 pass attempts for 358 passing yards and three touchdowns. That […]
